- July 22, 1985
In Dirty Pair season 1 episode 2, entitled Do Lovely Angels Prefer Chest Hair?, our heroines Kei and Yuri are once again assigned to a mission by their supervisor, Gooley. This time, they are tasked with protecting a wealthy businessman named Gordon who has been receiving death threats. As always, the two girls are more than happy to take on the job, but things quickly become complicated.
To start off, Gordon is not exactly the most pleasant person to work with. He is loud, obnoxious, and seems to take pleasure in making the girls' job as difficult as possible. He constantly complains about their methods and makes sexist comments about their appearances. Kei and Yuri try to remain professional, but it's clear that they are not enjoying their assignment.
Things go from bad to worse when Gordon is kidnapped by a group of masked men. Kei and Yuri manage to track down the kidnappers and engage in a high-speed pursuit through the city streets. During the chase, they come across an old friend of theirs, a man named Mughi who is now a taxi driver. Mughi agrees to help them in their pursuit, and together, they manage to rescue Gordon and bring him back to safety.
Once the danger has passed, Kei and Yuri start to wonder about the motives behind the kidnapping. It turns out that Gordon was not exactly the innocent victim he portrayed himself to be. He was involved in some shady business deals and had made a lot of enemies along the way. Kei and Yuri start to suspect that the kidnapping was actually an inside job, and that Gordon had orchestrated the whole thing in order to get attention and sympathy.
In typical Dirty Pair fashion, the episode is full of action, humor, and a healthy dose of fan service. Kei and Yuri are as lovely as ever, and they get to show off some impressive skills during the car chase scene. Mughi is a welcome addition to the cast, and it's fun to see him interact with the girls again. The episode also addresses some serious themes, such as sexism and the dangers of greed and dishonesty.
Overall, Do Lovely Angels Prefer Chest Hair? is a fun and entertaining episode of Dirty Pair that showcases the strengths of the series. It's not groundbreaking television, but it's a solid example of classic anime that still holds up today. Fans of the show will definitely enjoy this episode, and newcomers should find it a good introduction to the series.
