The Dirty Pair has long been at the top of my all-time favorite animes. Kei and Yuri are the ultimate duo of destruction. Although they're officially code-named The Lovely Angels, their endless bungling and wrecklessness has earned them the name, The Dirty Pair. Dirty Pair Flash is a prequel series to the classic series, in which the duo first meet and learn to act as a team. Because the girls are younger here, they're also less mature, so Kei is as hot-headed as ever, and Yuri is a boy-crazy airhead. Only later in the series do they begin to more resemble their classic selves, including one extra special nod to the classic series on disc 3 that I'm not going to reveal! The collection itself is split into three discs, eached labeled as a "mission" pack. Actually, these are more comparable to seasons, even though there are only five or six episodes each. The first disc is clearly the best, as it deals directly with introducing the Dirty Pair. The girls must stop the plans of a megalomaniacal villain bent on taking over the galaxy and solve the riddle of the enigmatic assassin, Lady Flair. The second and third disc, however, are less structured. While disc 2 has a story which loosely ties all the episodes together, the episodes on disc 3 are totally unrelated to one another. Although the lop-sidedness of the collection is enough to prevent it from getting a perfect score, it's still fairly enjoyable from beginning to end, which in my opinion, makes this collection worth picking up. Bear in mind, however, that you'll get the most enjoyment out of the first disc. The Dirty Pair Flash Collection also has the best dubbing of all of the Dirty Pair videos released by ADV. Where the acting was somewhat atrocious in the other Dirty Pair OVAs, the worst you'll have to deal with here is Yuri's whiney voice, although I found it somewhat amusing. And of course, original Japanese plus English sub is also available, so you really can't go wrong with this collection. The collection is out of print, so if you can find it on Ebay, you should snag yourself a copy.Read full review

The Dirty Pair series has seen various iterations, the classic manga, the original tv series and subsequent movies. Flash is the next generation of sexy and outlandishly dangerous leads that pick up where the original gals left off, and they even connect the two in one of the arcs. Since it seems to be out of print and not coming back soon, if you can find the box set, get it if you love mayhem, explosions, and slinky spacesuits.
