Dirty Pair - Recommendations

HasseRovdjur says...

Eisodic format, bounty hutners/"problem solvers" with a penchant for reckless behaviour and whose missions often end in destruction of some sort, lots of action of the gunslinger and martial arts variety and a sci-fi setting that features interplanetary travels. If these are things that interested you in either of these series I suggest that you check out the other.

These are both loving Japanese tributes to western science fiction. Both series are filled with references to classic science fiction. They're fun, action packed and the space settings allow for a variety of story types. They're both about reckless space bounty hunters that get into different situations each episode usually ending with lots of explosions. 

Rascal says...

The episodic format of the Dirty Pair as well as the space setting may intrigue you to note that Cowboy Bebop shares these characteristics along with a few quirky characters, a similar runtime, and some similar aesthetics, but those expecting Dirty Pair's same jovial energy may feel differently about bebop's melancholy tone. If you like dirty pair, you may like cowboy bebop, and the other way around.

Now these two are quite similar in alot of regards. I will try to do a comparison on these two without much spoilers to give you guys a good comparison without ruining either show for you. The main thing that reminded me of each was that both shows are quite episodic. Dirty pair doesn't necessarily have a story with consistent episodes ,along with cowboy bebop. The next comparison between the two is that they both have the setting of being in space and traveling from planet to planet in a space ship ,both pretty much do jobs that're either assigned to them or through the news. Both have partners that help them through situations and both are pretty old anime. Thats all i got for now ,there was more from when i was watching dirty pair ,but unfortunately i can not think of them atm ,Hope you enjoyed ,Bye.

Whether or not it's full body armor or spandex, Dirty Pair and Bubblegum Crisis focus on crime-fighting women that do things their own way. Both have a classic animation style and are enjoyable still to this day.

HasseRovdjur says...

Both series feature a lot of action, explosions, kickass female leads and they both take place in a futuristic setting, although the particulars of each setting differs. And lest I forget: they're both overloaded with music (often incredibly catchy), color schemes, animation and general feel that just reeks of the 80's. I leave it up to you to decide whether this is a good thing or not.

If you liked one of them any, some or all because of this I strongly advies you to check out the other.

ZetsubouKaiji says...

80s action series with a focus on kick ass ladies and explosions. If you like 80s sci-fi action films that just want to take all the cool futurisistic ideas and make them explode. then these series will be right in your wheelhouse. They both have kick ass 80s soundtracks too.

These are the tales of Space! Of ships!... And of Boobage!

If you want 2 titles of fun and adventure with worlds created with aliens and a robots you will dig either of these.It helps that they all live on a ship that doubles as the living quarters. 

In fact the animation in Dirty Pair has aged well and Dandy so far is solid. 

HasseRovdjur says...

Both Dirty Pair and Space Dandy are episodic sci-fi space-faring romps with great (and colourful) animation and bitchin' soundtracks, and neither show takes itself very seriously.

Fans of either show looking for another comedic show without an overarching plot should probably consider one of thse.

Rascal says...

Two shows about a bunch of assholes in space screwing things up, both episodic and featuring an overarching plot with lots of boobs and women, but also wildly varying themes and comedy. If you liked Dirty Pair, give Space Dandy a try, and the other way around if you want a more retro experience.

Otaku108 says...

Noir and Dirty Pair have two teams of women: one is legal, the other not so much, but both cause destruction and mayhem throughout their respective stories and deal out justice by any means necessary.

foxhead556 says...

The 2 main characters share a same personalty with 1 doing everything by the book and the other is dishing justice by all means. But by the end of the day they still get the job done. So if you enjoyed Dirty pair(or Noir) you will enjoy Noir (or Dirty pair).

MalteseFalcon says...

Girls, guns and plenty of destruction. That pretty much sums up both Dirty Pair and Dominion Tank Police (though the later has plenty of male characters too).

Really, if you enjoyed one of these and are in the mood for more mayhem, try the other on for size.

SailorStyx says...

The same mass chaos and destruction mixed with hijinks and hilarity. The Lovely Angels never ask for trouble but it always comes their way. In the form of Kidnappings, Robbers, Pirates, and super criminals. Almost always ending in their trademark destruction of anything in the way. Earning them the nickname "The Dirty Pair" which if said to them is certain to get you decked. 

acgalaga says...

If you like the super tech tripped out worlds visited by the Lovely Angels, you may want to check out Kiddy Grade. It's similar in that both have sci fi special ops departments, and hardcore lady duos. If you're a fan of the Dirty Pair franchise, this nano-infused anime should certainly wet your pallet.

MalteseFalcon says...

I can't help but be reminded of Dirty Pair while watching Burst Angel. Female protagonists that are assigned various jobs, with said jobs ending up being more complex than initially expected, followed by mayhem and destruction? That describes both of these series to a T. If you enjoyed one of them, I am sure you will enjoy the other.

MalteseFalcon says...

Dirty Pair and Miami Guns features a dysfunctional partnership, outlandish problems to solve, and plenty of destruction. Our dynamic duo is just as likely to have an argument in the middle of a case as they are to work together. If you enjoyed one of these, I would suggest giving the other a try.

Theta says...

These two are old school sci-fi space comedies.  With high production values these were popular in their time and still hold up today.  Protagonists Kei and Tylor have many similarities despite a difference in gender.

Taek says...

Really speaking they're only similar on a superficial level, a sci-fi police force. It's also true that Dirty Pair relies far more on comedy and zaniness than it does the thought provoking themes that Ghost in the Shell aims for, but if you're watching some retro anime and you like the idea of a police special unit in a sci-fi setting, then it doesn't get more "special" than Dirty Pair.
