Pretty enjoyable first episode, looks like this will be a "fun" action series.

In case anyone is interested I'm working my way through the TV series and posting brief reviews of each episode. Episode 1 is here: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2015/09/19/dirty-pair-1985-how-to-kill-a-computer/

The animation was pretty good. It was mostly brainless fun, jumping right into action.

This is my fourth re-watch and the jokes und banter still make me laugh. Kei & Yuri are bad ass 美人 <33. Their partnership was always one of the most entertaining parts of the anime. Meiko Nakahara on the OP and ED. Great first episode, I'm looking forward to experiencing everything again.

Almost nothing better than a light hearted 80's action comedy for a chill watch.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I can't put up with this idea to make such silly almost-naked outfits for such serious and harmful job. I don't mind fanservice but this is far beyond logics and common sense.
I do realise this show is funny and entertaining and good overall but I just can't :(
It destroys all the sci-fi mood. These girls deal with criminals, fight, shoot guns, make explosions, and all that while wearing nothing but panties and bra

God, this show really takes me back. There is just a charm that older shows have especially in the 80s. I like the music and hopefully I enjoy the rest of the series as much as You're under arrest.

At 19:20 we see where Yuri buys her pretty boy skin mags.

Also love that Kei putting her feet on the screen and calling him busted is what pushes Brian over the edge.

hmm
pretty good animation for a hand drawn 80s anime, surprisingly good sound. there are some that are just unwatchable purely for that. as far as enjoyment, i'd say this was pretty interesting. brian...lol clever. also, announcing your attack and then giving a super computer 15 seconds to prepare is just ridiculous but i'll accept it for now. i hope she meets that guy again. there's also something to say about hand drawn anime. usually it has just so much more love and detail to it, idk how to explain it. it's harder to animate movement sure and sometimes it comes off as clumsy but the detail is something to be appreciated.

Hehe, yeah. I think I got softer in these two years. I'm a big retro fan and I got this show in plans now.

i hope you find it fun. it surely isn't deep or much of a brain teaser but so far it's fun. i haven't watched enough to say much more.

This looks like a fun show, brimming with that characteristic, light-hearted, colourful, eighties style! As for the girls' outfits? Besides all that typical 80s aesthetic, they reminded me of a pivotal piece of classic SciFi entertainment from the Sixties: a film (and, before that, a comic book series) where the heroine goes against her enemies and fights evil, clad in an interesting assortment of outfits. The film is Barbarella of course!

The only people who hate Dirty Pair would be Gantz fans with their Cheetos dust fingers malding and trying to talk to a brick wall on how "great" Gantz is.

@Nemo_Niemand At least the fanservice is better used than Gantz
