People are voting emotionally.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This hour long OVA sees the return of the Lovely Angels Yuri and Kei; AKA 'The Dirty Pair'. They are still working for 3WA leaving a trail of destruction behind them. This story opens with a plane crashing when the pilots hallucinate as they attempt to land… somehow it appears to be connected to our heroines' search for a missing girl. Shortly afterwards the woman who hired them is murdered and it is clear the authorities would rather they forgot about the case. Inevitably they don't and as they head to the remote area the girl is believed to be they start having strange and frightening visions; it is difficult for them, and us, to know what is real. When they eventually find her it looks like she doesn't want to be taken back and as she is the one causing the illusions they can't force her. They then appear to leave but soon return to confront the authorities and end up spending the second half of the story chasing the man they have exposed as the villain when they learnt the girls strange secret.Fans of the earlier series will no doubt enjoy this too although to my mind it wasn't quite as good. This is largely because it felt like two different stories; one involving the girls searching for a girl and having strange hallucinations and the other involving a chase through a city leaving a trail of destruction. The creators clearly took advantage of the fact that this was not meant for TV broadcast by including some fairly gratuitous nudity during the girls' hallucinations… on the plus side the level of destruction is increased too! The animation is on a par with the earlier series and the English dub was decent enough… although it did take a little while to get used to after watching the earlier series subtitled. Overall I'd recommend this to fans of the series but if you haven't watched the series I'd recommend watching it before you sit down to watch this as no time is wasted introducing the characters.

"Dirty Pair: Affair on Nolandia" (1985) is an Original Animated Video (OAV) spun off from the Japanese animated "Dirty Pair" TV series from the same year. It's a 57-minute adventure set on a planet where Kei and Yuri, attractive young female crimefighters known as the "Dirty Pair," are investigating the murder of a young woman and the disappearance of a young girl, after the woman had called for help from WWWA, the intergalactic police agency which employs the Dirty Pair (so named for their tendency to leave lots of property damage behind after solving cases). The local police chief, Samara, sends the two to a jungle plateau called Nolandia where the psychic young girl, Mizuni, is believed to have fled. Adventures in the jungle include encounters with all sorts of bizarre animal and vegetable creatures, including a golden pony with a blond mane, as well as surreal nightmares that find the girls under some kind of hypnotic attack. In one of them, a nude Kei is attacked and enveloped by a tentacled tree-like creature. Eventually they find Mizuni and earn her trust by appealing to her childlike instincts. Their pleasant idyll is interrupted by an attack by soldiers working for the planet's powerful tycoon, Olan Garcia, who, it turns out, is involved in bio-genetic experiments to create advanced new beings, like Mizuni.All this happens in the first 35 min. Then the action shifts back to the city where Kei and Yuri, with the help of Samara, go after Garcia and the bad guys in a padded-out series of urban chase scenes involving all manner of vehicle and public transportation, including bus, subway, monorail, motorcycle, bike, and roller skates, leading to a final confrontation at the city's spaceport. It's all beautifully animated, but none of it advances the narrative much. All it does is take what should have been a 30-minute TV episode and expand it to one-shot OAV length. And it gets really silly at one point when Yuri is confronted by an army of thugs and she dispatches them by pulling out what looks like a plastic playing card and throwing it at them, hitting them all in an unseen maneuver and knocking them out. We've never seen the card before so we know nothing about its properties. It's just a ludicrously contrived moment that diminishes the whole finale. This entry is easily the least compelling of all the "Dirty Pair" anime episodes I've seen. Worse, the scenes on Nolandia require the girls to wear bulky combat suits instead of their trademark bikini-style uniforms. (Which is why, I'm sure, the animators inserted the nightmare nude scene and a semi-nude sunbathing bit into that sequence.) I've never seen any of the "Dirty Pair" TV episodes, but I've seen the two hour-long OAV episodes (this one and "Flight 005 Conspiracy"), the feature film, PROJECT EDEN (1987) and eight of the ten half-hour OAV episodes from 1989. At this point, I tend to single out the latter OAV series as the best of the "Dirty Pair" that I've seen.
