Ugh! That was my reaction when I saw the character designs for this Dirty Pair OAV. By losing the bigger eyes, the girls lose their cuteness, especially Yuri. The reduced bust size didn't bother me, but it too was surprising. However, to make up for the smaller chests, the animators treat you to a couple of nude scenese for both Yuri and Kei. And if lolicon is your thing, we even get to see little Missinei naked too. Sadly, it doesn't get any better. The story is weak as water. Granted Dirty Pair stories are not known for their deepness, but they generally serve the purpose they were designed for -- to carry the action. So usually, we get to see the progression from A to B to C as Yuri and Kei solve the case. This time, Yuri and Kei solve the case off screen. So while we are given answers to questions, it is poorly done. And to make it worse, the answers are pretty dumb too. Had the writers actually focused more on the story, the same answers could have been made interesting. The music is also pretty bad, as in cheesy bad. I don't know what they were thinking. And it doesn't stop there. Usually, OAV's have better budgets and thus have better art an animation. Not this time, mate. There is a lot of recycled footage in addition to a lot of "cheap" shots. Basicly, this thing was just thrown together in order to try to make a quick buck off of Dirty Pair fans. Bottom line: Skip this, especially if you are a fan of the classic Dirty Pair series. There's really nothing to see here.Last updated Wednesday, February 11 2004. | ||||||||
