Right Stuf's Nozomi Entertainment Announces Dirty Pair: The Original TV Series, Part 1

GRIMES, IA, Feb. 20, 2013 – Anime producer and distributor Right Stuf, Inc. and its Nozomi Entertainment division are pleased to announce the DIRTY PAIR: The Original TV Series, Part 1 DVD set will be available on June 4, 2013.

This new set repackages the first 13 episodes of the Dirty Pair television series – featuring the remastered video from the Japanese home video release and previous Nozomi release – with Japanese audio, English subtitles and English on-screen translations, along with on-disc extras.

“Cute, kick-arse girls going around the universe and
blowing stuff up in the name of justice”
Mike Dent, Otaku USA

The Dirty Pair television series, which consists of 24 episodes and two TV specials, is the first anime adaptation starring the iconic heroines of the long-running Dirty Pair novels and short stories. It features production by Sunrise (Gundam, City Hunter, Sgt. Frog, Cowboy Bebop) and Studio Nue (Crusher Joe, Macross).

The Dirty Pair's literary adventures – written by Haruka Takachiho (creator of Crusher Joe) and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (character design for Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam Unicorn) – have won two Seiun Awards for science fiction and inspired an array of media, including anime, radio series and English-language comics. The first two novels were published for English-speaking audiences by Dark Horse Comics.

All of the Dirty Pair's animated adventures – including the original television and OVA series, the original theatrical features (Project Eden, Affair of Nolandia and Flight 005 Conspiracy), and Dirty Pair Flash (the 1990s reimagining of the series) – are available on DVD from Nozomi Entertainment.

About the DIRTY PAIR: TV Series, Part 1

In the 22nd century mankind may be technologically advanced, but there are still some problems that can only be fixed by a couple of women who don't back down from a fight! These are the adventures of Kei and Yuri, two official Trouble Consultants for the World Welfare Works Association, who use their brains, brawn, and looks to solve any problem.
