I don't think modern otaku would let Dirty Pair pass. I mean, they're obviously not virgins and have a new date like every episode.

>>14300711
I don't know what you're complaining about. Are you too stupid to realize a show can be good or bad regardless if it features girls/fan service?

>>14300711
>moeshit and moeblobs
Kei and Yuri barely qualify as cute. They're funny and attractive but they're way too wild and rude and hot to be cute, and Yuri's attempts to come off as a pure maiden are always played for laughs.

There's a handful of cute side-characters but they aren't memorable or even frequent.

>>14300686
The 90s version is very uneven but overall it's better than the first TV series. Not as good as the OVAs though so you might be a bit disappointed.

I think that what puts off most watchers is that the 90s series tries to distance itself a bit from the original continuity but still kind of acknowledges it in a clumsy way that some may find offensive if they read too much into it, and I'm talking about a specific character.

The second "season" is kind of boring but the third makes up for it, overall it's got more sex appeal and a more cartoonish take on a lot of stuff.

Second season has the conman played by Ohtsuka. And the flower shop and high school comedy eps. Those were great. But I would also say that third season was best overall. Too bad it was the last.

It's not too bad. The middle part feels like it lasts forever though. The TV series is not as condensed with lots of ugh, the original OVA is much better, Project Eden is fun, Nolanda is different and might be closer to the novels in tone, and Flight 005 Conspiracy is a good action movie in which the girls have bigger breasts.

>Kei is best girl.

It's supposed to work out that Yuri is the sciency one, while being more girly, and Kei is the tomboy. But Yuri's smarts almost never come up. So Kei just ends up dominating the show, with Yuri being more of a backup.

Kei even dominates the movie. She's the only one with an emotional element to the story. Yuri's most memorable thing is dressing up as a lizard and wearing a bikini similar to Lum.

>>14301868
Yeah, Yuri is less proactive, and even if she's essentially the same kind of hotheaded, superficial brat as Kei, she refuses to own it, and tries to pass as a demure and cultured maiden instead. It makes for some nice jokes, but since she doesn't really try to keep that cover up all the time, she's mostly just toned-down version of Kei with a squeaky voice, rather than a good counterpoint to her.

Flash has the advantage of giving them more different personalities, and to have them start out with a conflicting relationship. And I think it makes Yuri more interesting and stronger (even though Flash Kei is still best)

>>14301868

>>14300711
>Funny how fan-service filled moeshit with moeblobs galore get a pass when it's from the 80s...

Which is not Dirty Pair. The girls are not helpless little children. They're full adults and stars of an action show. Moe blobs look like children and highlight how helpless they are.

>fan service

Even this is kept fairly moderate. The girls wear what amounts to bikini uniforms but by and large it's treated pretty normal. The most you get is a bit of Yuri's butt and some feet shots in the movie mostly.

>>14301964
>femme
can someone explain me this meme?
It just means "woman" in French. Are you just trying to say "womanly", or are you trying to ape Adam Warren's writing for comedic effect?

Of course Kei is more popular in the west. Everyone knows westerners prefer slutty girls.

they're both giant sluts though

Butch was/is also used derogatorily to refer to women who go to the gym or are athletic looking like Tifa Lockhart, but not body builders in an unflattering light. Some guys just don't like getting beat up or outdone by a cutie. Or, no respect.

You know, I think this may be the first time I've ever heard Tifa referred to as 'Butch'

As a rule always heard it applied to more overt examples of the type like Mora from 0083 or Youshi from Giant Robo.

It's a pride thing to those individuals, that seems to have had enough notoriety to become a type of character you could quickly write into a script.

The trolls with their false analogy of "look! 80's had moe!", with the false inference of "80's showz are overrated and no better!" are a joke. The fact remains that the 80's anime industry was willing to take chances that would never be taken now, with factors like the Bubble Economy to finance everything from Wings of Honneamise to OVA oddities like California Crisis. If these imbeciles can't understand that, well, /a/ is that way...

>>14304985
The 80s were literally the startint point of otaku pandering that you're complaining about. The 80s were filled with mindless action flicks and borderline pornographic OVAs, each filled with shallow character, cringey dialogue and nonexistent plots. Sure, there was a lot of funding in the 80s but that didn't affect the overall quality of the productions put out. For every 1 gloriously animated 80s OVA, there are 5 terribly animated shoestring budget OVAs that never made it past VHS.
You want to talk about taking chances on novel concepts? Then you should be talking about the 60s and 70s when anime was still highly experimental. The 80s was a big downgrade from those decades in terms of writing quality and experimentation. And you want to talk about the Japanese economic bubble? That wasn't even a thing until the late 80s and only lasted for 5 years. In terms of animation quality, the 90s were superior with many high profile and high quality TV shows, movies and OVAs.
The 80s were like any other decade for anime - lots of bad and some good. Touting it as some kind of golden age is just plain fucking retarded and you probably weren't even born until the 90s.

>>14305081
No, improvement are made by IMPROVING upon the achievements of the past, not simply imitating them.

I don't see what's bad about this. And Austrian/ French/ German composers who wrote librettos in their own languages weren't trying to be modern and innovative so much as they were trying to stay true to the theatrical traditions of their respective countries.

>>14305081

It's cultural stagnation. It's what kept China in a period where nothing changed for centuries because they saw themselves as the height of civilization and thus didn't try to improve anything.

History forced improvement to happen by the Mongols reducing everything they created to ash

>>14305113

When society becomes comfortable to the point of stagnation, measures must be taken or it will eventually lead to its internal collapse. Even if that requires culling.

I don't know if your country ever had an empire, but stagnation more than invaders is what destroys one.

It's really under rated. At the time, it was HUGE in Western anime circles. You see a bunch of Dirty Pair references in The Next Generation. They were mostly from watching the movie.

Since then, Dirty Pair sorta dropped off the map.

>>14302473
Yes. The early volumes are actually fun and well-written but with a darker edge than the OVAs.
But as it went on, the art deviated more and more from the anime style, the edge got edgier and the writing stopped being fun and started being, well, American.
