What happens

Dirty Pair (Japanese: ダーティペア, Hepburn: Dāti Pea) is a 1985 science fiction anime television series based on the novel series of the same name by Haruka Takachiho. Produced by Nippon Sunrise, the series aired on Nippon Television and its affiliates from July 15, 1985 to April 21, 1988. The series has a closer setup to the original light novels more than any of the other incarnations. Unlike the light novels, the universe of the anime has a more comical atmosphere and presents the typical styles of a 1980s inspired future. The Lovely Angels and the WWWA reside in a location known as Eleanor City where Kei and Yuri live in an apartment together in the city's famous Damocles Tower. The chief of the 3WA in this version is Gooley Andrew Francess along with Calico who serves as second in command. The duo also have two assistants, a genetically modified feline named Mughi, and a small robot known as Nanmo. The series won the 1985 Animage Anime Grand Prix prize. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
