Synopsis

Agerna is a planet rich in Vizorium, the one mineral necessary to space travel. So when a series of mysterious attacks on mining operations has the governments of the world pointing fingers and blaming each other, the World Welfare & Works Association naturally sends in their top agents to investigate. But are the lovely angels up to the task of stopping a mad scientist bent on taking a long dormant alien race to its final evolutionary form? Throw in a thief who's hunting a bottle of World War II-vintage wine and it's a safe bet that nobody on the planet is safe. It's more chaos, more mayhem and even more destruction than ever before as the Dirty Pair take on their wildest case yet!

Dirty Pair: Project Eden is by far one of the best and most underrated anime films of the 1980s. It focuses on an adventure that the two trouble consultants Kei and Yuri known as the Lovely Angels but more commonly known by their nickname the Dirty Pair because of the destruction that gets left behind after completing their missions. The film basically has everything you would expect from a 1980s anime such as action, awesome music, excellent science-fiction environment, fantastic art and sexy female leads. This film is a great example for anyone who would like to get in to 80s anime. The story is pretty basic and is probably the weakest part of the movie but its simplicity of it helps you enjoy the characters and environment more.

Dirty Pair: Project Eden is by far the best part of the entire Dirty Pair series perfectly putting together every element that the series is known for. The personalities and appearance of the two protagonist Kei and Yuri are captured perfectly and does so better than the TV series as well as the OVAs. Kei and Yuri are both opposites with Kei being a more aggressive and Yuri being more feminine but they both work great together. One scene that I found to greatly show us their characters is when they decide to put their mission on hold to take bubble baths in bathtubs found in the abandoned mine they had to explore and casually chat as they are washing.

The movie has some strong characters that are exclusive to it such as Carson D. Carson who was introduced at the beginning of the film as a smuggler that the pair encountered but got away. He later comes across them again and becomes their ally as well as a love interest for Kei. Among any of the love interests Kei has had in the series, Carson is the only one worthy enough as he is resourceful and helpful to them throughout the film. The antagonist to this movie is a mad scientist known as Dr. Wattsman and his butler Bruno. Dr. Wattsman is simply your stereotypical mad scientist villain who makes alien-like monsters to take over and replace the human race.

The soundtrack is absolutely great with its great 80s sound. It features a few great songs sung by Miki Matsubara who was later known for the first opening to Gundam 0083. The soundtrack also has some great synthesizer background music such as Professor Wattsmans theme and the song "Through the Danger" which plays during the battle near the end of the film.

Overall I give this movie a 10/10. The only flaw this movie has is that its ending isn't the greatest but it definitely still works in the fashion that the series does. It's my absolute favorite anime film and my favorite entry from one of my favorite anime series. There is about a handful of people who appreciate this film the way I do and needs a little bit more recognition.

To be honest, this was the first Dirty Pair movie that I had watched back in 199.. um a long time ago. It was so much mind-boggling fun that this movie raised my expectations of the rest of the Dirty Pair franchise, which sadly did not live up to those expectations. Having watched most of the rest of the OVAs and other movies, I will have to say that Dirty Pair Project Eden is still by far the best of all the Dirty Pair OVAs/Movies.

The plot is simple, they are sent to Agerna, a planet rich in Vizorium (one mineral necessary to space travel). Needless read more

one hour,twenty three minutes of my life that i wont get back,plain and simple thats what this anime is.it starts off reasonably interesting,with humans having colonised space with two planets being the focus of attention as they are the main manufacturers of an essential mineral called Vizorium which is needed as a crutial component to produce the metal that makes space ships.Agerna one of the two planets suddenly has its main production factory attacked by strange creature who feeds on the vizorium and destroys the factory in the process.

Agerna suspects that the creatures came from eden as it is its main competitor.Two females read more
