The Dirty Pair television series, OVA series, Project Eden and the two standalone OVAs (Affair of Nolandia and Flight 005 Conspiracy) are the first wave of anime adaptations to star the iconic heroines of the long-running Dirty Pair novels and short stories. All portions of the original Dirty Pair anime franchise feature production by Sunrise (Gundam, Outlaw Star, The Vision of Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop), while the TV and OVA series also feature production by Studio Nue (Crusher Joe, Macross).
The original Dirty Pair TV series and OVA series are now available as DVD sets, with remastered video, from Right Stuf’s Nozomi Entertainment. Nozomi also has plans to release the 1990s, alternate-universe series Dirty Pair Flash in 2012.
The Dirty Pair’s literary adventures – written by Haruka Takachiho (creator of Crusher Joe) and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (character design for Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam Unicorn) – have won two Seiun Awards for science fiction and inspired an array of media, including anime, radio series and English-language comics. The first two novels, The Great Adventure of the Dirty Pair and The Dirty Pair Strike Again, are published for English-speaking audiences by Dark Horse.

About the DIRTY PAIR: The Original Features
The Lovely Angels are back in a triple-pack of ‘80s sci-fi action!
Project Eden: Kei and Yuri are on their way to the distant planet Agerna. There, they’ll have to ease tensions between rival governments, capture a self-proclaimed master thief and stop a mad scientist from reviving an ancient alien race!
Affair of Nolandia: A little girl has gone missing, but this particular damsel in distress has incredible psychic powers. If Kei and Yuri want to find her, they’ll have to fight their way through a deadly forest of illusions…
Flight 005 Conspiracy: The 3WA’s Central Computer gave the Dirty Pair two cases at once! Kei and Yuri must investigate a space liner explosion and, at the same time, find a missing scientist. It all seems harmless enough, but this is actually the Angels’ most dangerous mission, yet -- and if they’re not careful, it’ll be their last.
Contains the PROJECT EDEN theatrical film, plus the direct-to-video features AFFAIR OF NOLANDIA and FLIGHT 005 CONSPIRACY.
