Original Dirty Pair (Japan ???)

Rating: **
Review Date: 6/1/99

Divided into ten installments

This series appears to be a collection of the original "Dirty Pair" TV episodes, but it's really hard to place when they originally came out - probably mid 1980's. As such, it has a really nostalgic feel, but the low budget animation and weak character designs tend to reduce its impact. Kei and Yuri, those big-eyed busty bimbos of the WWWA are at it again in these "crisis of the week" episodes. Some are good and some are not so good, and overall the episodes are much more campy and light-hearted than the DP movies are. Kei and Yuri are also much more air-headed and spend more time bickering with each other and flirting with boys than I recall them doing in their other incarnations. Mildly entertaining girls 'n' guns fluff.
