The Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor mecha anime series is the brainchild of Headgear, a collection of various talented artists, including the character designer for Kimagure Orange Road, the manga author for Birdy the Mighty, the author RahXephon, the writer for the .hack franchise, and the director of Ghost in the Shell. All iterations of the franchise have another member directing or guiding the direction for it.The most notable example is director Mamuro Oshii's political angle in Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor 2 the Movie. An asset with all those creative minds runs the risk of being too complex or too difficult to coordinate. However, every incarnation of it became successful and famous. It's a rare example of what collective projects can accomplish.
