This was actually fairly decent. I'm surprised I never heard of this show before. Being episodic all the episodes were different from each other making some of them good and some of them not so good. I haven't seen the main show yet and decided to watch these OVAs first but now that I've seen them I at least plan to watch the show at some point.

Except few acclaimed classics, older anime (pre 2000s) are rarely known by general anime community. So it's no surprise you haven't heard about "Lovely Angels" before. You should definitely check out the original series as it is the best anime of 1985 (it won the 1985 Animage's Anime Grand Prix Award).


I just noticed it was more than two years since I watched it. Man, time really flies.

Sad to have finished this OVA series, mentioned it a few times already for previous episodes but this 10 episode series is so much better than the TV series was and yeah I'm disappointed that it only lasted 10 episodes. Great writing, solid episodic stories, better animation and better action. Great stuff.

I'll differ from BlaizeV, I deeply consider the series to be superior in every way from the writing, tone, and general uniqueness each episode surprised me with unexpected plots and lasting impressions from Kei and Yuri. Not saying the Ovas were bad, as I rated it a solid 7, but the original 24 episode run (rated it strong 8) was just breathtaking good and everything seemed more lively and innovative to my humble eye.

Although, I must admit the one constant that continues from the series to the Ovas is just how genuine and comforting the chemistry Kei and Yuri share as partners in every aspect of their dialogues, actions and understanding in each adventure. Hope the movies are better sendoff for these Lovely Angels than this final Ova turned out to be a little anticlimactic compare to the final episode of the original series with the chief kidnapped and the suspense in the fate the Dirty Pair in the final moments.

P.S. Wondering if anyone else feels this way about the overall aspect in improving the Ovas would be if each episode was extended past the basic 24 minus mark as many the adventures seemed like they had deeper conflicts but had heedlessly quick resolutions. Ironically, I remember the original series was able to compact the stories much better into the normal format of 24 minutes while these seemed uneven for the same time frame.

Responding to a four year old comment, I know. but I found out about the main 1985 show thanks to Crunchyroll obtaining the streaming rights and me being curious, watched it.

Now having completed the main show and this ova series, time to watch the 3 films :D

Did not expect anyone to quote my message, especially after so many years :)

I'm planning to (re)watch the remastered blue ray version someday :)
