The key visual, preview video, opening and ending theme song information, etc. of the new animation ``Mobile Police Patlabor EZY File 1'' in the ``Mobile Police Patlabor'' series have been released.
The key visual for "File 1" depicts Ingram standing dashingly among buildings and an instax-style photo of the seven members of the second platoon. In the instax-style photo, Towa is confidently firing a gun with his hand, as the catchphrase goes, ``Are these guys even police officers?'', Kippei looks like he's being swayed by his girlfriend, and an adult is holding a cigarette in one hand. While showing off her leeway, Saki raises her glasses mischievously, Yanai laughs heartily with a folding fan in hand, Captain Saeki looks at him with a smile, and Yakuma shows off his charming expression.
The preview video begins with Towa's daily life, staring at the Ingram figurine on the desk in the station, and looking at the sticker that says "ALPHONSE" with a strange look on his face. The next moment, a siren rang out to call for dispatch, and Towa rushed to the scene, exclaiming, ``I've got work!'' while receiving instructions from his backup Kippei. The struggles of the 2nd Platoon and the dynamic activities of various laborers are also shown.

The opening theme song will be "Reimei Compass" by Mori Calliope, who belongs to Hololive English, and the ending theme song will be "Baton" by Mariko Nagai. The title of the song was inspired by Mori Calliope's opening song ``Future Lovers'' from ``Mobile Police Patlabor Early Days,'' and by character designer Masami Yuuki, Nagai also has an anecdote that her own atmosphere, which had short hair at the time, was superimposed on the character image of the main character, Akira Izumino. Comments and comment videos were received from these two people. Part of the opening theme song can also be heard in this preview video.
In addition, the synopsis of each episode of "File 1", movie tickets, and information on the completion stage greeting are also released. In ``Trend is #2nd Platoon'', the ``Snowman Labor'' has been stolen by someone, so Towa and the 2nd Platoon are given a dispatch order. In ``Kanchumuariari'', Towa begins to write in his diary a delusion that they will be dispatched to a major incident. In ``Honmono ga Ichiban'', filming has begun on a reboot of the special effects historical drama. The second platoon is called in as security, but the director's obsession causes big trouble on set.
Mubichike will go on sale on March 27th at some movie theaters and online shopping sites. Two types of tickets are available: the ``Complete Set of All 3 Chapters,'' which allows you to watch ``File 1'' to ``File 3'' once, and the ``File 1 Regular Ticket.'' The ``Complete Set of 3 Chapters'' comes with an A5 size ``Ingram Plus Art Board,'' and the ``File 1 Regular Ticket'' comes with an A4 size clear file. In addition, a stage greeting to announce the completion of the project will be held on April 23rd at Shinjuku Piccadilly, Tokyo. Director Yutaka Izubuchi, Sumire Uesaka, who plays Towa, and Kikunosuke Toya, who plays Kippei, will be on stage.
