It's our lowest bitrate yet as we once again go long on Dirty Pair: The Movie or Dirty Pair: Project E.D.E.N as it was known in the United States (also where we got the name of our podcast from). It's also our most musical episode yet, because all of the music in this film is incredible and I just HAD to include it. So, y'know, this'll never get monetized but I will put the tracks I played most of below (also I guess the OST is on Spotify but the OST does not have the Wattsman song so... it'll be a mystery).

You'll notice that I've mostly talked about the music and haven't mentioned the plot, and that's because... there's not much of a plot. Sorry. There's some monsters, there's a mad scientist, and there's Yuri shamelessly flirting with Kei. There you go. Enjoy! This movie is gorgeous both visually and sonically and is an all around fun time.

We'll be back August 1st with our final Special Presentation, where we examine the Flight Five Conspiracy. See you then!

Ah, and here's the link to the Dirty Pair soundtrack, as promised.

We'll get to the true second season of Dirty Pair eventually, but first we need to take a look at these OAVs and Feature Films, starting with 1985's Affair of Nolandia, an experiment in a harder science fiction and more adult content (not that kind of adult, for the most part. The mature kind). A brand-new Lovely Angel with brand-new character designs takes the stage! Artificial esper kids! Corporate conspiracy! Cyborgs! Tentacles! Some really odd musical choices! They're all here, in this podcast, and all will be discussed!

Also, we talk about Berserk and Mad Max and... honestly some other stuff, I dunno. It's two hours long, you gotta expect the occasional detour.

I boldly predict our next episode will hit on July 4th, wherein we will discuss the Dirty Pair movie, or Project EDEN. Only history can prove me a liar!

We've done it, you've done it, everyone's done it. We made it to the end of the 1985 (plus two in 1987) classic sci-fi animated series Dirty Pair. We've done it with a special longer-than-usual episode for you since it's the last one we'll be doing for a little while. And what an episode it is! This one's got it all: big guns, cool fights, giant explosions, and above all, some real quality yearning. Ah yes, settle in friends. If a series has to end, this is the way to end it.

But of course, this isn't the end, there's a second series that releases as an OVA and there's a couple of hour long specials, as well as a feature film. We'll be tackling those all in some kind of order that we explain at the end of this podcast, but first we're going to take a break. I would like to take a break!

So while we take a break, and try to track down some information about the production of The Affair of Nolandia, feel free to just listen through the series again a few times. We won't keep you waiting long! Our next episode will deal with the first of two specials, The Affair of Nolandia, which takes the series in a different direction both tonally and artistically. Aren't you excited? Well, maintain that excitement until June 6th, which is when we're currently planning on releasing that episode.

Thank you to everyone for listening, this has been such a fun thing to do. See you next time!
