This Day in Anime History 📺✨ July 15
An absolute titan of a date in anime history, delivering standard-setting cyberpunk mecha, timeless Studio Ghibli romance, explosive Saiyan finales, and legendary sci-fi premier blockbusters:
• Dirty Pair (1985) • Akuma-kun (Movie) (1989) • Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor the Movie (1989) • Little Nemo (1989) • Dragon Ball Z Movie 13: Ryuuken Bakuhatsu!! Gokuu ga Yaraneba Dare ga Yaru (1995) • Mimi wo Sumaseba (1995) • Ninkuu (Movie) (1995) • Slam Dunk: Hoero Basketman-damashii! Hanamichi to Rukawa no Atsuki Natsu (1995) • Chou Kidou Densetsu DinaGiga (1998)
From the iconic TV debut of the original sci-fi trouble-mashing duo Dirty Pair and Mamoru Oshii’s monumental cyberpunk political thriller Patlabor: The Movie, to Yoshifumi Kondou’s heartwarming Ghibli masterpiece Whisper of the Heart, and the legendary debut of the Dragon Fist in Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon... July 15 stands as one of the most culturally massive and artistically influential dates for anime theatrical releases.

In other Patlabor Ezy news, a number of other events and promotions for "File 2" have been announced. First up is a Patlabor Day Commemorative Special Streaming Program "Forward and Backup are always one and the same no matter what!? Asaki's dream and bullet survival!!" which will be streamed on YouTube on 8 August 2026 at 9pm Japanese time. The stream will feature voice actors Mina Tominaga (who played Noa Izumi), Toshio Furukawa (Asuma Shinohara), Sumire Uesaka (Towa Kuga) and Kikunosuke Toya (Kippei Atori) as well as director Yutaka Izubuchi. I do find it interesting that Mina Tominaga and Toshio Furukawa are in this stream. I'm curious if that means Noa and Asuma are appearing in "File 2".
The Bandai Namco Filmworks Channel will be releasing one episode of "Patlabor on Television" on Youtube from 17 July 2026 at 9pm Japanese time daily. All titles will be streamed in Japanese only and no doubt will be geolocked.
In addition, "Patlabor Reboot" is getting a rare streaming release in Japan. It will be available on the Bandai Namco Filmworks Channel on 11 August 2026 from 9pm Japanese time for 24 hours only. Like the TV series, it is likely to stream in Japanese only and will be geolocked to Japan only. From 14 August 2026 onwards, "Patlabor Reboot" will stream exclusively on on the Japanese streaming service U-Next.
Another Patlabor Pop Up Shop will be held at the sixth floor of the Shinjuku Marui Annex from 7 August to 16 August 2026. A wide variety of merchandise will be available. Additional details on the Pop Up Shop will be released in August.
