Dirty Pair: Project Eden
Dirty Pair Project Eden, known in Japan as Dirty Pair The Movie Daati Pea Gekijouban, is a featurelength anime film based on the Dirty Pair anime series originally released in Japan on November 28, 1986. The movie was originally licensed in North America in 1994 by Streamline Pictures but was later redubbed and released on DVD on November 9, 2003 by ADV Films. The Streamline version was directed by Carl Macek.
As of August 2011, the film has a 71 rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is commonly acknowledged to be better than the anime TV series, Mike Crandol of Anime News Network even states that Dirty Pair Project Eden is one of the few glorious exceptions...its not just bigger and louder, it actually IS better. Rarely do all the elements come together so nicely, and even all these years later its hard to think of any other anime thats simply as much fun as this movie. Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network mentions on her review of the Dirty Pair Features Collection that among the three films this one was the campiest with the least urgent storyline. She also states that the Animation has moments of beautiful fluidity, such as Yuri flopping in a tub of water, the dissolution of a floor beneath the characters feet, or Yuris impromptu dance number on a transport. Helen McCarthy in 500 Essential Anime Movies commented that this film can stand the test of time and that this is a movie with lots to enjoy. Even the cheesy 80s pop soundtrack has its own guilty charm.
