| That was bizarrely progressive for 1980s Japan. |
| Kudos to the creators, didn't expect that great plot twist, at first I thought the lady with the glasses was secretly Joanaca or maybe Joanaca had an evil cone/twin. That ending 😄 Oh and the scene where Kei and Yuri ride Mughi because it looks cooler than air bikes. 😃 |

| The other episodes were just non serious good fun, so it was pretty unexpected to see the show dealing with a topic like this. A character from the 80s saying "So what? That's so closed-minded!" during a conversation about a sex change while people in 2015 are freaking out because Bruce Jenner had a sex change. That makes me wonder what people in the 80s thought of this episode. Also nice to see another anime mention time dilation, wished that more sci-fi anime wouldn't forget about it. |
| A great episode, and surprisingly progressive as others have noted. Review here: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2015/10/06/dirty-pair-1985-love-is-everything-risk-your-life-to-elope/ |

See you, Space Clicky und Joanca. Props to the staff for this episode. They handled the transgender character and subject in a tactful manner |
| I need to know how old that kid was though, because he looked and behaved like a 12 year old lol. Hard to cheer for a groomed kid eloping with an adult! |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| the funniest episode of the show, i laughed so much at the ending. The sex change part was super progressive for the time, unexpectedly a very good moment. Now the Lovely Angels have my full respect. |

| Clicky and Joanca should get a spin-off set 50 years in the future from this episode. Glad to see the comments here not full of culture warrior tourists claiming that Joanca having a sex change is a "mistranslation". If this were English dubbed, the localizers (that the other side of the culture wars love for some reason) would surely remove this. |
