Kei and Yuri are a pair of trouble consultants working for the 3WA, a galactic agency that sends its agents out for a fee to help resolve special and ofttimes dangerous situations. Being very good at their jobs, Kei and Yuri like to refer to themselves as the Lovely Angels… but since they also have a habit of destroying everything in their wake, most people know them better as the Dirty Pair. In Project Eden, their first feature-length movie outing, the two travel to the planet Agerna to discover who has been attacking the precious mineral-producing mines there. Little do they expect to end up fending off vicious aliens, a crazed scientist and a handsome rogue… all while in their underwear!
Beyond the obvious draws of sci-fi action, wry humor, cute girls and stylish animation, of note is Project Eden’s soundtrack. It’s so good that the movie basically revolves around it; director Koichi Mashimo (Ai City, Dominion Tank Police) decided early on that he wanted to make a film where the music spoke louder than the dialogue. At no point does the soundtrack and animation come together more seamlessly than during the introductory cinematic, rendered in a dramatically different style by famed animator Koji Morimoto (Neo Tokyo, Robot Carnival).
