Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D.
by The Project P.O.D. Casters
Hey, y'all hear about that Dirty Pair? That's good! It's good! You should watch it! We think it's good, which is why we're gonna do everyone a favor and make a podcast where we go through every episode of the classic series based on the (questionably) classic light novels by Haruka Takachiho. Maybe we'll do the OVAs and Dirty Pair Flash too, who can say? I sure can't. It's too early to tell! Music by FASSounds from Pixabay.

Dirty Pair Flash 3 Episode 5: The Gray Revenger!
As a rule, we're not good at finishing projects. Sooner or later we run out of steam and things just stop happening, and that's the end of THAT, as they say. But by GUMBO, we finished this Project P.O.D! And thank goodness that we got to finish with this episode, and not the last episode, because...
-
Dirty Pair Flash Season 3 Episode 4: My Boy In Rose Color
At the outset, we knew that this wouldn't be an easy episode. Our half-remembered recollections of watching it however long ago were, as it turns out, not enough to adequately prepare for the depths of despair that awaited us in this particular episode. If you wanna listen to two people get real...
-
Dirty Pair Flash Season 3 Episode 3: The Winners in Summer Colors!
Well, we finally did it. We made it to what's probably the worst episode of Dirty Pair FLASH thus far. What makes this episode particularly unsavory? Oh, we'll get into that. We'll get into that! Are there a few bright spots in here? We'll get into that, too (not really, sorry). But hey, don't...
-
Dirty Pair Flash 3 Episode 2: Pink Sniper
Welcome back, we're still in the final stretch here (only three more episodes to go!) of our Dirty Pair FLASH era. This time we tackle the question of a young assassin making her debut kill on the main stage of history, as they say. And you know what? She fucks it up! She's bad at it! This…

Dirty Pair Flash 3 Episode 1: Snow White Chaser!
You'll never believe it, but we've actually come back to finish off this Project POD for good. Or at least for now. For Dirty Pair FLASH, anyway! That's right, here it is, the first of five hot new episodes about the final five episodes of the Dirty Pair FLASH OVA series. Have I always…

Dirty Pair Flash 2 Episode 5: Tokyo Airport Hot Pursuit!
We've done it, we've made it to the end of Dirty Pair Flash 2! Let's dive in and discuss an android assassin, an out-of-control spaceship loaded up with high explosives, Yuri's expert piloting skills, and Kei's sharpshooting prowess. We also take some time to talk through the entirety of Flash 2…
more -
Dirty Pair Flash 2 Episode 4: Sparkling Flower Shop of Love!
We've returned to provide unto you, our listeners, a longer-than-I-remembered discussion about what once was and still might be my favorite episode of Dirty Pair FLASH! Honestly I'm amazed that we stayed on topic as much as we did, which doesn't make writing this podcast description any easier.…
more -
Dirty Pair Flash 2 Episode 3: Steamy Hot Springs Romantic Tour!
It's the hosts' birthday, and we got ourselves a podcast that published on time! Hooray for us! Also, we got the absolute maximum number of weird faces allowed in a 24 minute OVA, and you can see a good number of them on our wretched bluesky account, because I got carried away while I was editing...
-
Dirty Pair Flash 2 Episode 2 - Mysterious High School Seventeen!
We've done it, we've managed to get an episode out on our two-week cadence again, and doesn't it feel good to be back in the swing of things? Of course it does, don't bother answering that. The second (very good) episode of the second (very good) season of Dirty Pair Flash is full of mystery,...
-
Dirty Pair Flash 2 Episode 1 - Tokyo Holiday Network
Welcome back to our (hopefully) more regularly scheduled podcast, where we decided that things work better when we do one episode at a time! So, in recognition of that truth, please enjoy over an hour of us discussing the first episode of our favorite season of Dirty Pair Flash, which sets up the...
-
Dirty Pair FLASH Episodes 5 and 6
Well it isn't pretty (the audio file) but we managed to hold Audacity to task long enough to edit down and publish this, our final episode dealing with the first series (season?) of Dirty Pair FLASH! It's hella climactic, the stakes are hella high, and the universe at large... doesn't actually…
more -
Dirty Pair FLASH Episodes 3 and 4
From a noir revenge tale to being a gamer girl, these two episodes of Dirty Pair FLASH sure do cover a lot of ground, and so do we! Our trip through the first season of Dirty Pair FLASH continues apace as we discuss Twin Peaks, Professor Wattsman, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and the Cincinnati...
-
Dirty Pair FLASH Episodes 1 and 2
It's been a while, but we've come back after a break to crack open the somewhat curious artefact that is Dirty Pair: FLASH! We also decided now's as good a time as any to switch things up and do two episodes of the show in one episode of podcast, because the first and second seasons of FLASH are...
-
OVA Episode 10: No Need to Listen to the Bad Guys! We are Space Truckers!
It wouldn't be the end of a series if we didn't provide an extra-long episode, and it wouldn't be the Dirty Pair if they didn't have something interesting to say. This time, we're talking about police corruption in a capitalist system and the only cure for it: collective action! Also, Kei and…
more -
OVA Episode 9: Red Eyes are the Sign of Hell! We Go After the Killing Squad!
We've almost made it to the end of Dirty Pair 2, and what better penultimate episode could there be than yet another of Shinchiro Watanabe's doings? This time, we're off to a war-torn jungle planet to learn about the war economy and vengeance! Kei and Yuri are facing down a crooked arms dealer…
more -
OVA Episode 8: A Girl Who is Well-Preserved for Her Age: Sleeping Beauty!
I'll level with you: I might have lost the plot a little bit somewhere in here. Digressions abound, which is how you can tell which one of us was driving the episode recap. It's fine, don't worry about it, this is still guaranteed to be a memorable episode of Project P.O.D. as we take a…
more -
OVA Episode 7: Revenge of the Muscle Lady! Is the Gang Making a Profit from the Spirit of a Woman?
Gosh, it feels like forever since I last did this, but it hasn't been that long, has it? We return and bring in the new year with another cracker of an episode of the Dirty Pair OVA series! Shinichiro Watanabe returns to the director's seat to walk us through the seedy world of underground...
-
OVA Episode 6: Are You Serious? Shocked at the Beach! Wedding Panic!
I want to remind everyone that we record these shows all in a batch and in fact recorded this show at the beginning of November, which makes the fact that the American News Media is all talking about an Italian dude named Luigi another one of those weird serendipitous things that sometimes happen...
-
OVA Episode 5: And So, Nobody's Doing it Anymore.
Side-tracked conversations and Dragon Kung Fu abounds on this, our latest offering to the devoted listeners who are hungry for more tales of the Dirty Pair! We dive into the fifth episode of the Dirty Pair OVA series and answer the important questions of: what the hell is Mughi wearing? Is his…
more -
OVA Episode 4: But They’re Only Children! Playing War Games Warrants a Firing Squad?
Weird audio issues abound on this episode (not really, I cleaned a lot of it up) but we soldier on anyway to discuss yet another episode where Kei and Yuri have to deal with some troublesome kids. These kids, however, have a childish obsession with war and access to a weapon that could…
more -
OVA Episode 3: We're Not Afraid of the Judgment Are We?! The God's Challenge
On this, the spookiest day of the year (it's gonna be 80 degrees here on October 31, that's the scariest thing going), we discuss the spookiest of topics: the true cost of Utopia OOOOOOH BOOOOOOOOO SCAAAAAAAAAARY! We also discuss the lesser known works of Shinchiro Watanabe, as well as everything...
-
OVA Episode 2: No Thanks! No Need for a Halloween Party!
It's a Halloween full of capers as Kei and Yuri, y'know, fight crime or whatever. I don't know if they even really mean to fight crime, they're too busy chasing a killer robot, but crime is fought nonetheless! We spend a lot of time talking about Kei and Yuri chasing a killer robot, and make sure...
-
OVA Episode 1: Prison Uprising! Or We hate People with Grudges
You wanted it, we also wanted it, we said this post was going to be on Cohost but hey, whaddaya know, it's on our own blog now because RIP to Cohost: it's the triumphant return of *Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D.*! We're coming to you with the fantastic OVA sequel series, known to some as *Dirty Pair...
-
Special Presentation - Dirty Pair: Flight 005 Conspiracy
Well, we've finally come to the end of the road for Kei and Yuri, or at least the Kei and Yuri who don't wear matching uniforms. Flight 005 Conspiracy marks the longest episode we've ever done as well as the final foray into the world of feature-length animations, assuming you only need to be an...
-
Special Presentation - Dirty Pair: The Movie
It's our lowest bitrate yet as we once again go long on Dirty Pair: The Movie or Dirty Pair: Project E.D.E.N as it was known in the United States (also where we got the name of our podcast from). It's also our most musical episode yet, because all of the music in this film is incredible and I…
more -
Special Presentation - Dirty Pair: Affair of Nolandia
We'll get to the true second season of Dirty Pair eventually, but first we need to take a look at these OAVs and Feature Films, starting with 1985's Affair of Nolandia, an experiment in a harder science fiction and more adult content (not that kind of adult, for the most part. The mature kind). A...
-
Episode 26: R-Really? For Beautiful Women, "Cannon" is the Keyword to Escape!
We've done it, you've done it, everyone's done it. We made it to the end of the 1985 (plus two in 1987) classic sci-fi animated series Dirty Pair. We've done it with a special longer-than-usual episode for you since it's the last one we'll be doing for a little while. And what an episode it is!...
-
Episode 25: What? The Boy in the Mansion is a Terminator!
25 episodes into this podcast run and I discover that I can put custom thumbnails for each episode. Well, better late than never, I guess! We careen towards the end of our time with the original run of Dirty Pair (plus two OVA episodes!) with this episode that maybe, y'know, has more subtext than...
-
Episode 24: Are You Serious? A Condo is a Dangerous Place to Live!
We come to you now with a bit of a long one but in fairness, in fairness, they're all long ones from here on out. But here on out isn't that far away, because this is the final episode of the Dirty Pair's 1985 televised run! Sure, sure, there's a couple of OVA episodes that get released in '87…
more -
Episode 23: Uncertainty, Our Magnificent Revenge!
Welcome, everyone, to the second-ever podcast that I had to export at a lower bitrate in order to get the file size low enough to upload to this free tier of podcasting service! Pull up a chair and have a listen to an elegant assassination attempt, a long con, a romantic pursuit, and a dramatic...
-
Episode 22: We Did It! 463 People Reappear!
It had to happen sooner or later. Eventually, there was going to be an episode of Dirty Pair that we just couldn't manage to talk about for an hour. This, the second half of a two-part tale, is that episode. It's nothing wrong with the episode itself, mind you, it's just that things happen so…
more -
Episode 21: No Way! 463 People Disappeared?
Our podcast project hurtles towards its inevitable conclusion, as we encounter a mysterious ghost ship that ought to have 463 people on it, but doesn't. Incidentally, why 463 people? It's such a specific number. We don't talk about that, but we do talk about proper commercial break timing, the...
-
Episode 20: Nostalgic Blues Make a Killer Soundtrack
I don't know how I manage to keep getting these out on time, but here we are yet again for another episode of Project P.O.D! This time, we're talking about Captain Haddock, an assassin who has one last job to do, an ice cream magnate, and the creamiest gal. Kei and Yuri spend this episode either...
-
Episode 19: An Unjustified Lover's Grudge. Let Me Love You Without Revenge!
Another day, another podcast about that one episode of Dirty Pair where a dude seeks revenge because someone broke his sex doll. You know how it is. Look, maybe you could argue that this episode is also about Kei and Yuri doing cool commando shit and fighting a warlord and his army. I'll allow…
more -
Episode 18: Pardon Us! Trouble's on the Run, So We're Coming Through!
The Yuletide cannot stop this podcast, because I worked ahead for a change and uploaded it all ahead of time like a responsible show-runner, running a show that is largely for my own amusement. I also probably spent a little too much time too close to my mic, and so some of the audio is uh, less...
-
Episode 17: Come out, Come out, Assassin!
CW: Suicide, sexual assault It isn't their usual fare, but sometimes some heavy things happen in Dirty Pair so we're warning you ahead of time: yes, someone kills himself and yes, there is an extremely uncomfortable scene between Kei and an assailant that reminds us that 1980s culture was in fact...
-
Episode 16: Leave It to Us! The 3WA is a Wonderful Job!
We've made it, everyone, to episode 16, and only now do we truly begin to understand how far afield we can wander. I mean, it's probably not that far of a walk from Dirty Pair to GI Joe but it's not a quick stroll, that's for sure. We also have trouble with pronunciation, and I left it in the...
-
Episode 15: Dig Here, Meow Meow! Happiness Comes at the End!
All right, so here we are once again with a weird little tale about an old man who's searching for treasure in a hidden temple. Was he led there by a legend? Archaeology? Probably the second one, but Kei and Yuri are here to help him survive whatever traps the place might have in store, along…
more -
Episode 14: The Vault or the Vote? A Murderous Day for a Speech
Something strange was in the air when we recorded this episode that starts with a bang, if a bang is an incredibly racist caricature. Sorry, everyone, the 1980s happened in this episode. But once you... get... past.. that... part.... (ugh, feels awful to type) we get into a thrilling heist and an...
-
Episode 13: What's This? Our Supple Skin is a Mess!
Oh ho ho, what's this? What's THIS? A spooky episode of Dirty Pair, just in time for the spooky season of Hallowe'en. We couldn't have planned it better, and in fact did not plan it at all. But you, dear listener, are the beneficiary of this lack of planning that turned out for the best anyway....
-
Episode 12: The Little Dictator! Let Sleeping Top Secrets Lie
A strange energy is in the air during this recording as we get back to the business of talking about Dirty Pair. And what better way for us to knock the rust off of our somewhat atrophied podcasting muscles than to tackle a story of love, loss, and desperation. And a hyper-intelligent Nazi mouse....
-
Episode 11: Ho ho ho, Dresses and Men Should Always be Brand New!
We near the halfway point of this podcasting venture with a splendid little episode about being overworked, the damage that can do to your relationships, and the importance of vacation. Also, the cops are shit - it wasn't until doing this podcast that I realized how poorly they do their job...
-
Episode 10: What? We're Heinous Kidnappers!
Here we are once again for another episode of Dirty Pair, and this time we spend a lot of time being angry about monarchies in general and one specific prince, whom Kei and Yuri have to get back to his homeworld before a dastardly drug-dealing duke puts his divine right to rule to the ultimate...
-
Episode 9: Hire Us! Beautiful Bodyguards Are a Better Deal
Shucks howdy pardn'r, welcome to this here podcast 'bout that there Dirty Pair. This time we travel to a mysterious planet full of Sergio Leone tropes to watch as the Lovely Angels turn their prodigious skills towards resolving a conflict between warring crime families who threaten to disrupt the...
-
Episode 8: Gotta Do It! Love is What Makes a Woman Explode
Oh wow, oh wow do we have an episode this time. It's got everything you could want in it: an audio clip from a different show, the most oblique reference to Sincere Engineer that I could think of at the time, and far more discussion of Metal Gear than I remember having, but I guess that sneaks up...
-
Episode 7: Love is Everything. Risk Your Life to Elope!
We've made it to episode 7, which means we've made it to The Episode You Probably Heard About. In celebration, we've prepared our longest discussion yet on just what makes this episode stand out from every other episode of Dirty Pair thus far (and moving forward, honestly). Kei and Yuri do a cool...
-
Episode 6: Lots of Danger, Lots of Decoys
We return once more, or perhaps we don't and this podcast is merely a decoy! The only way to know for sure is to listen to see if this podcast explodes at some point, that's the real one! Things get complicated for the Lovely Angels as they encounter a childhood friend while on a dangerous…
more -
Episode 5: Criados' Heartbeat!
You might think that I was on vacation and sat down in the midst of this to edit together this podcast and you'd be RIGHT. Coming in as hot as it's ever come in, episode 5 contains another brief Gundam digression, some tips on the building and painting of plastic models, and, of course, a whole…
more -
Episode 4: The Case Smells Like Cheesecake and Death
I'll not sugarcoat it: we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about throwing an apple core into the trash in this episode. It's good talk, though, so I won't hear any complaints. If apple cores going into trash cans isn't your thing, however, never fear! We also talk about thumb wrestling,...
-
Episode 3: Go Ahead, Fall In Love! Love is Russian Roulette
You there, what day is it? Why, it's new Project P.O.D. Day! The day where we deliver unto you the final episode from our first marathon recording session, which means that this one took a little extra time to edit because there were a lot more protracted silences as we attempted to hold onto our...
