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 hour long to be counted as a 'feature.' It's some of the best writing to date and probably the worst ending we've ever seen (or will see with this Pair), and you can hear all about it here, right now, on this very podcast!

As a scheduling note, due to the fact that my work schedule is gonna prevent us from being able to record in time, our next episode which both marks the beginning of Dirty Pair 2 and me not breaking the Season field by putting 1.5 in there, will publish on October 3rd! We'll be going back to our every-other-week cadence as well, since we're leaving the longer features behind. Dirty Pair 2 runs for 10 episodes, and after that? After that? Well, I suppose Dirty Pair: Flash exists too.

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 just HAD to include it. So, y'know, this'll never get monetized but I will put the tracks I played most of below (also I guess the OST is on Spotify but the OST does not have the Wattsman song so... it'll be a mystery).

You'll notice that I've mostly talked about the music and haven't mentioned the plot, and that's because... there's not much of a plot. Sorry. There's some monsters, there's a mad scientist, and there's Yuri shamelessly flirting with Kei. There you go. Enjoy! This movie is gorgeous both visually and sonically and is an all around fun time.

We'll be back August 1st with our final Special Presentation, where we examine the Flight Five Conspiracy. See you then!

Ah, and here's the link to the Dirty Pair soundtrack, as promised.

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 brand-new Lovely Angel with brand-new character designs takes the stage! Artificial esper kids! Corporate conspiracy! Cyborgs! Tentacles! Some really odd musical choices! They're all here, in this podcast, and all will be discussed!

Also, we talk about Berserk and Mad Max and... honestly some other stuff, I dunno. It's two hours long, you gotta expect the occasional detour.

I boldly predict our next episode will hit on July 4th, wherein we will discuss the Dirty Pair movie, or Project EDEN. Only history can prove me a liar!
