S5E11 - DIRTY PAIR 2 & PROJECT EDEN Reviews: The Sequel OVA & Film by Sunrise

from Japanimation Station Season 6 - TOMINO-THON! · host Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman

Our dirty pair of Dirty Pair episodes continues this week with a look at the theatrical feature film and cavalcade of OVAs that followed in the wake of the original TV series. Dirty Pair was so popular on the home video market that it got two feature-length OVAs – 1985’s Affair of Nolandia and 1995’s Flight 005 Conspiracy – and an entire ‘second season’ of 10 TV-length episodes, known as Dirty Pair 2. There is some fantastic stuff among these home video releases, but the real highlight today is the 1986 feature film, Project Eden, one of the most spectacularly produced anime of the 1980s that feels a lot more like a feature-length music video than it does a conventional narrative. Whether it truly works as a Dirty Pair story is something we debate, but there’s no disagreement that’s an absolutely eye-popping tour-de-force of synesthesia. Enjoy, and come back next week for something completely different, as we look at the classic 1997 adaptation of Miura Kentaro’s seminal Berserk! At least it is true that podcasters have no control, even over their own will… Time Chart:Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:15Intro and History: 0:01:15 – 0:18:44Affair of Nolandia OVA: 0:18:44 – 0:44:55 Eyecatch Break: 0:44:55 – 0:45:34Project Eden Movie: 0:45:34 – 2:10:24Dirty Pair 2 OVA: 2:10:24 – 3:11:27Flight 005 Conspiracy OVA: 3:11:27 – 3:29:28End Theme: 3:29:28 – 3:30:29Subscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastRead Jonathan Lack’s movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.comRead Jonathan’s book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK“Welcome to Japanimation Station” – Music by Thomas Lack, Lyrics by Sean Chapman, featuring Hatsune Miku. “Rolled Into One” – Music & Lyrics by Thomas Lack, featuring Hatsune Miku. https://www.thomaslack.com
