1980's dirty pair time line.

[turtle1237]

So I pick up the Dirty Pair tv show, the 3 movies, and the ova shows.

Is there a order to watch em? I have dirty pair flash but that was a 1990's reboot, kinda of like Batman-JL was a reboot of the 1960's Batman, Superman and Superfreinds era.

Just wondering.

Its sad, that a year later, not one fan of the 80's dirty pair.

After some work, first the TV show, the ova series follows that, and at last the movies follow that, in the order of story line of Couse.

This anime has everything from action, funny story lines, some odd situations that they find themselves in, like when a group of little kids highjack there ship. There on going fighting over men/boyfriends lol.

I like Kei better, she is so amazing. Oh yeah and lots of stuff blows up.

I wasn't around here a year ago. Anyways, check out Crusher Joe if you haven't already. It's the Lovely Angels' first screen appearance. It's also a great movie.

Best place to get info like this is generally anidb. Here's their chart for Dirty Pair: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=rel&aid=402

Project Eden is a really really cool movie. All of it is fun enough to be worth watching though. I'd also suggest Adam Warren's comics, they are pretty fun reads.

Kei and Yuri are cool characters in a style you don't see very often, especially not as (semi heroic) lead characters. Especially not in anime these days, sadly. Closest recent thing was probably Panty & Stocking.

First watch through
I did get the movies mix up.

The comics rock though. Your right though They don't have a lot of
kei and Yuri type characters teams up. Oh sure you get one or the other in animes, but never as a team up, and of couse lead roles.

Another great female team/duo is that of Natsumi and Miyuki of You're Under Arrest. Basically a buddy cop series and they're the lead characters.

As someone who never watched the show before, has it really aged well? Even as a kid the show looked a bit "dated" already by my standards back then. Would love to find an old classic though.

It ran from TV shows to the last movie all though out the 1980's. I not sure if it got dated, because the animation was great, even compare to todays shows, perhaps one of the best anime one could find. Story line, the show was a comedy, so it depends on your taste in jokes like fighting over men, being blood thirsty (On Kei's part) having the boss get the girls respect by showing them his chest hair, which was funny lol.

From Kids sealing the ship the girls pilot, to dealing with a guy that feel in loved with a doll. Some of the story lines are just so out there. But animation wise, it still holds up today.

A lot of it is pretty dated, but not always in a bad way. If you enjoy 80s fashion and aesthetics you might enjoy the dated parts. I think Project Eden is absolutely worth watching on it's own if nothing else, it rules.

Have a non-spoiler clip and see how you like it:

Well, I grew up with a lot of 80s and 90s anime so it's not that I don't like old stuff. However when re-watching sailor moon I felt it was very dated and boring for the most part, sure it had good parts but overall it bored me and without nostalgia I wouldn't have watched it all, and yet Ranma 1/2 when I watch it I still feel like it aged very well. This is a show I was always curious about when I saw the VHS tapes in the 90s but it didn't look super appealing either.

I think I'll end up watching it, I am since yeah I can be rather inconsistent when watching old shows, it all depends if they strike the right chords with me.

It's an alright show, but I didn't care much for it as a whole.

If you like shows with the same formula(2 female cops/agents, one being more feminine and the other more tomboyish) than I'd recommend You're Under Arrest.
