AniWorthDirty Pair: Project Eden
Introduction
Agerna is a planet rich in Vizorium, the one mineral necessary to space travel. So when a series of mysterious attacks on mining operations has the governments of the world pointing fingers and blaming each other, the World Welfare & Works Association naturally sends in their top agents to investigate. But are the lovely angels up to the task of stopping a mad scientist bent on taking a long dormant alien race to its final evolutionary form? Throw in a thief who's hunting a bottle of World War II-vintage wine and it's a safe bet that nobody on the planet is safe. It's more chaos, more mayhem and even more destruction than ever before as the Dirty Pair take on their wildest case yet!

A decent return to form after the disappointing and overly-morose Nolandia Affair, Project Eden is far more in line with the style and tone of the TV series. The plotline is unfortunately too thin to fill out the 80 minute runtime and just doesn't have as much substance as the TV episodes did, but the film makes up for it with an incredible sense of style. Dirty Pair always has fantastic action and the animation here is top-notch. The production design in general is a bit creepier than usual and it almost feels like a Metroid anime in places, and the atmosphere and music are both spectacular. That sense of style does a lot of heavy lifting because otherwise this kind of feels like the Rocky 4 of anime, in the sense that it's about 30 minutes of plot with 60 minutes of stylish music videos…

Speaking as a big Dirty Pair fan, it's really amazing how much of disappointment Project Eden is. The animation is smooth, I guess, and the intro, Yuri's impromptu dance (now a famous vaporwave gif), the "over the top" song sequence, and the Streamline dub Wattsman's VA is about all I like about this particular Dirty Pair franchise entry.
Let's start with the bath that results in Kei, Yuri and Carson doing Kill la Kill before that was a thing for most of this movie. While they actually became pretty professional by the end of the TV series, Kei and Yuri are still a couple of dimbulbs (and I mean that in the most affectionate way) but even early TV series Kei and Yuri wouldn't take a bath in radioactive abandoned mine water.
But what I don't really like about this movie is that once Car…

one hour,twenty three minutes of my life that i wont get back,plain and simple thats what this anime is.it starts off reasonably interesting,with humans having colonised space with two planets being the focus of attention as they are the main manufacturers of an essential mineral called Vizorium which is needed as a crutial component to produce the metal that makes space ships.Agerna one of the two planets suddenly has its main production factory attacked by strange creature who feeds on the vizorium and destroys the factory in the process.
Agerna suspects that the creatures came from eden as it is its main competitor.Two females government official are then sent to investigate the matter,they are nick-named the dirty pair as they always cause chaos and destruction in their wake.My first…

To be honest, this was the first Dirty Pair movie that I had watched back in 199.. um a long time ago. It was so much mind-boggling fun that this movie raised my expectations of the rest of the Dirty Pair franchise, which sadly did not live up to those expectations. Having watched most of the rest of the OVAs and other movies, I will have to say that Dirty Pair Project Eden is still by far the best of all the Dirty Pair OVAs/Movies.
The plot is simple, they are sent to Agerna, a planet rich in Vizorium (one mineral necessary to space travel). Needless to say Vizorium is unstable and can explode easily - setting us up for Classic Dirty Pair action. Our intrepid WWWA Agents are investigating series of mysterious attacks on mining operations and discover a mad scientist bent on taking a long…
