The Dirty Pair



     Another anime based series the cartoon was based a series of novels
rather than comics.  It follows the (mis)adventures of Kei and Yuri, two
Trouble Consultants from the WWWA a massive private security corporation of a
few centuries from now.  Codednamed the "Lovely Angels" their habit of causing
massive collateral damage resulted in their becoming nicknamed the "Dirty
Pair" a name that makes them go ballistic.
     Feared throughout the galaxy the question of why the Central Computer
always clears them of all responsibility for the massive destruction they
leave in wake has never been answered.  Like the original Bubblegum Crisis
another series with greater popularity outside Japan than in its homeland.
The Toren Smith, Adam Warren comic miniseries added some cyberpunk elements to
the plot and made the WWWA an intergalactic government.
     In "Dangerous Acquaintance", their second miniseries, the vacationing
Pair run into a former WWWA agent, Shasti who left them for dead after
her neural implants malfunctioned and turned her from the greatest agent in the
WWWA's history to a multiple personality psychopath.  It was really the 3WA's
fault for not anticipating the consequences of their actions.  Does installing
a copy of criminal mastermind Lacombe's personality into Shasti's experimental
bioengineered multiple personality brain so she could think like him sound in
any way like a good idea?  Sure enough Shasti went beserk killing both her
partner Dierdre and Lacombe and flipping wildly between personalities got the
drop on Kei and Yuri.








Mother of Mercy! Is this the end of the Dirty Pair?
