A tight and tense little OVA co-directed by none other than Masamune Shirow. It focuses on just a small but interesting part of the Black Magic manga and expounds upon the basic story with some great animation and exciting action sequences. The music is pretty good, too.
VISUALS: 7/10
Generally fluid animation compliments great character and mecha design. This will not blow you away, but it's good enough not to be distracting and the visual ideas carry it above other similar stuff.
STORY: 7/10
Simple and straightforward plot and not much excess. The story is a set-up for the action here, which is OK by me since it doesn't spend a lot of time dressing up as something it's not. The characters are basically fun, especially Sybil.

Two of the military's top-secret android weapons, called M-66 units, are lost and go berserk. One is hunted down and destroyed at the cost of quite a few men, but the other escapes, with orders to kill the granddaughter of its creator implanted in error. It comes down to an intrepid photojournalist, Sybel, to save a girl from a situation she has very little control over. Will she be able to do what the military could not...stop the doll-like M-66 from its mistaken mission of death?
This is a really nice anime,its fast pace and comes off as a confincing sct-fi action anime.the animation is quite good,i loved the colours used and the drawing looked quite realistic.overall nothing spectacular but still a good anime.

Dirty Pair has the same playful lack of seriousness when dealing with lethal situations as Black Magic. They both feature a pair of women as the leads. They're both very funny. They both have interesting science fiction mixed with intentional goofiness. They're a clear match.

Loveably, overly 80's in style and execution. Both are great sci-fi/cyberpunk anime series that deals with technology and what the future might bring us. Both are set in a dark, post-blade runner type setting, yet both have humor. Both come from the mangas of Masamune Shirow. Both are inspired by 80's action flicks. Dominion is going down "Streets of Fire" central, while Black Magic M-66 is going down "Termiantor 1" lane. Dominion is the much stronger of the two, however.
