Dirty Pair: The Original TV Series, Part 2 (Litebox)

A 30 Year wait is over at last
Where do I start. I first saw this series back in 1984 on a 6th Generation bootleg VHS tape, no subtitles and almost no color.

This DVD set is truly a revelation and a dream come true. Restored video and english subtitles, Life is good!
A note to the those individuals who only watch "Dubbed" Anime you are missing out on a legend in Anime, this title will not be dubbed and will only be issued for a limited time so get this one for your collection it is truly a "Must Have" for any fan of anime!

If you are on the fence, if there was something that turned you off on the first set, it'll turn you off on this set without a doubt.
