AniWorthDirty Pair Flash
Introduction
Kei and Yuri were originally junior auxiliary agents in the Worlds Works and Welfare Agency (W.W.W.A. or 3WA for short) when the two were paired together under the codename "Lovely Angels." Kei was coming off her fourth probation for something she had done, and Yuri's dating exploits were common knowledge, not to mention the two had an instant dislike for each other when they met.
At first, Kei and Yuri refused to work with each other, and Kei even resigned from the 3WA. Afterwards, the two continued to work together, although they earned their nickname, "the Dirty Pair" because of all the collateral damage the two (unintentionally) cause in the completion of their cases. And even though the two now get along with one another, they continue to bicker and complain to each other.
Although it is often said that these are younger versions of the original Lovely Angels Kei and Yuri, in truth this series is an alternate universe telling of Dirty Pair, set in the years 2248-49.

This version of Dirty Pair is so-so. The plot doesn't get interesting until episode 4, the character art is basic, as is the animation. The action scenes are quick cuts, and the background art is lacking detail. The voice acting is pretty good though. Our 2 MCs are only 17 and I wonder what the writers were thinking, this is an alternative setting but almost no one gets good at a job like that at that age. There are a few attempts at fan service but nothing really special. And there are a few attempts at humour, most of which falls flat. I will say the the characters do mature by the end of this season, though I think 6 (20 minute) episodes couldn't be called a season. It's fine for what it is, but it is still just average.

Dirty Pair is, like Project A-ko one of those well known franchises that started in the 80s and ran well into the 90s. The Dirty Pair Flash OVAs came out in the mid 90s as an alternate universe for the TV series & OVAs of the 80s. Like those instalments, it was handled by Sunrise. Yes, the studio behind Gundam, Code Geass & Gintama just to name a few. How does this hold up? Let's take a look and see.
Story:
We open with a computer conversing with the chief of the 3WA about the status of the “lovely angel” pair of Kei and Yuri and how they're rubbish at their job. Apparently, they both did well at practical exams but terribly at academics and they've also both been suspended a fair number of times. We cut to Yuri taking a walk down a street when she happens to run into Kei. She wonders ho…

Dirty Pair Flash is a re-imagining of the Dirty Pair franchise. As it is made more recently they've beefed up the animation budget and the animation is of a far superior quality to the other Dirty Pair OVAs and movies. The sound has improved too, except that the quality of the english voice acting is still a little bit lacking. Alas, the opening theme sounds like kindergarden kids trying to sing to really bad 70s porn soundtrack. At least that's how it sounds to me.
The stories are quite good and varied. Mission 1, the first 6 OVAs is one central plotline, as is Mission 2 with 5 episodes. Misson 3 is a collection of random episodes. Mission 1 was quite annoying and dealt with the relationship between Kei and Yuri. Mission 2 was the best in terms of a cohesive storyline. Mission 3 is just…
