Dirty Pair 2 ★★☆☆☆

Perhaps I just had had my fill of the show already but I felt this didn’t have the same energy and fun as the main TV series. The silliness does seem to have been toned down a little. Nanmo isn’t here and both the spaceship and 3WA headquarters have been toned down into something a bit more typically scifi and the plots seem to come down to straightforward shootouts a lot.

On the positive side Kei and Yuri seem to actually like each other more now, their jabs at each other more frequently feeling more like teasing than actual meanness and doesn’t devolve into them just shouting at each other. Having a couple more recurring characters in the 3WA is fun to have too.
