As a rule, we're not good at finishing projects. Sooner or later we run out of steam and things just stop happening, and that's the end of THAT, as they say. But by GUMBO, we finished this Project P.O.D! And thank goodness that we got to finish with this episode, and not the last episode, because this episode of Dirty Pair Flash 3 is the best of the bunch, the best single episode, you might say, of the entire Dirty Pair Flash project! Could you imagine if the last episode sucked? That would be the worst.

And, well, that's it, everyone! We made it to the end of all things animated Dirty Pair, and possibly the end of this podcast. Maybe somewhere down the road we'll find something else that grabs us in the same way but for now... for now....

SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY (wait shit wrong show)

At the outset, we knew that this wouldn't be an easy episode. Our half-remembered recollections of watching it however long ago were, as it turns out, not enough to adequately prepare for the depths of despair that awaited us in this particular episode. If you wanna listen to two people get real uncomfortable about the premise and happenings of an episode of anime, well gosh you're in luck. How many times do we stop to sigh and say "I hate this, man," you might ask? There's only one way to find out and it's to listen to this podcast.

Of course we find some bright spots in this whole mess, and of course we pounce upon them as a starving man would a succulent Chinese meal. But boy, are we ever glad to have made it past this one, and thank goodness that there's one more episode left of this show. And it rules! It's the best! You're not gonna want to miss it!

Well, we finally did it. We made it to what's probably the worst episode of Dirty Pair FLASH thus far. What makes this episode particularly unsavory? Oh, we'll get into that. We'll get into that! Are there a few bright spots in here? We'll get into that, too (not really, sorry).

But hey, don't worry dear listeners, because at least it can't get any worse than this, right? Right? Guess there's only one way to find out, and that's to tune in next time to our PENULTIMATE EPISODE OF DIRTY PAIR: PROJECT P.O.D.!

Welcome back, we're still in the final stretch here (only three more episodes to go!) of our Dirty Pair FLASH era. This time we tackle the question of a young assassin making her debut kill on the main stage of history, as they say. And you know what? She fucks it up! She's bad at it! This episode of Dirty Pair FLASH is kinda bad too!

But hey, it ain't all rain and thunder. There's a few moments here and there, the lightning in that rain.

But mostly it's bad.

Come back next time for our next episode where we tackle our next... maybe also bad.... episode of Dirty Pair FLASH 3! Dirty Pair FLASH 3: It ain't great, but we promised to finish the series, damn it.

You'll never believe it, but we've actually come back to finish off this Project POD for good. Or at least for now. For Dirty Pair FLASH, anyway! That's right, here it is, the first of five hot new episodes about the final five episodes of the Dirty Pair FLASH OVA series. Have I always capitalized FLASH like that in these descriptions? I don't know and there's no way to ever find out for sure.

Anyway, Kei gets the spotlight in this episode as she learns how to raise a baby on the side of a mountain, while Yuri gets to play with all the new toys that the Pair acquired after blowing up the Lovely Angel at the end of the second series. That includes a brand new dang ol' Lovely Angel! It looks cool as hell! Let's all agree that this rules. The rest of the episode is all very straightforward. Twists? Turns? Not necessary, there's guns and explosions now. Did we enjoy it? Probably more than we expected!

Am I dreading next episode? Maybe just a little, but maybe it's not so bad? The only way to find out is to tune in next time (in two weeks, heavens, hells, and various other planes allowing) and listen!

We've done it, we've made it to the end of Dirty Pair Flash 2! Let's dive in and discuss an android assassin, an out-of-control spaceship loaded up with high explosives, Yuri's expert piloting skills, and Kei's sharpshooting prowess. We also take some time to talk through the entirety of Flash 2 as a project, what worked for us and what we could perhaps have done without. Will we like it after all? Only one way to find out, and that's to listen to this here podcast!

There's one more season of Dirty Pair Flash to get through before our long labors are finished, and we haven't yet recorded those episodes! That means there's only one way for you to know the status of our final series of episodes, and that's to subscribe to the podcast feed! They'll show up there when they're finished, after all. I guess if you want something a little more granular, you can also follow us on our wretched Bluesky account. We'll see you probably sometime in September when we kick things off with the first episode of Dirty Pair Flash 3!

We've returned to provide unto you, our listeners, a longer-than-I-remembered discussion about what once was and still might be my favorite episode of Dirty Pair FLASH! Honestly I'm amazed that we stayed on topic as much as we did, which doesn't make writing this podcast description any easier. I'm very tired! I didn't sleep last night! Yuri is bisexual! Thanks!

I just tried to publish this episode without uploading the audio file! I'm really out of it!

It's the hosts' birthday, and we got ourselves a podcast that published on time! Hooray for us!

Also, we got the absolute maximum number of weird faces allowed in a 24 minute OVA, and you can see a good number of them on our wretched bluesky account, because I got carried away while I was editing this podcast. Understandable, I think. This episode dials down the seriousness and dials up the comedy of the Pair as they do their level best to bring a con artist to justice and get their just reward: a fancy dinner together at Trois Poires. I don't have to try any harder with this podcast description because it's my birthday!

See you next time.
