16:00 – Dirty Pair
We’ll Teach You How To Kill A Computer (01/24)
The semi-coherent story of a pair of teenage intergalactic private eyes, Kei and Yuri. Their code name is “Lovely Angels”, but they’re better known—universe-wide, in fact—as the “Dirty Pair”. Their arrival at the scene of a mystery is always a source of hope and dread, since: 1) they always solve the case, 2) wherever they go, something gets horribly wrecked, up to and including entire planets. Lucky for them—but not-so-lucky for the rest of the universe—there are always some sort of extenuating circumstances that support their most often-used phrase, “It’s not our fault”.”
