Of course, It COULD just be them toneing it down a BIT for TV... which would also explain why their such ditzes at times (ususally when being shot at by large numbers of automatic weapons.), since the culture does seem to have a thing about women being not as good as men in some respects.

Also, in the Cannon (deliberat misspelling for humor value, folks!) is the Lovely Angel itself armed? I have seen a single instance of space combat where they shoot at someone... and they jumped out of the LA and used very large caliber personal weapons to to it.

Minor corrections - those are 10 OAVs.

The TV series still hasn't been released.

IIRC, The OAVs were done after a move or two had been done. Also, the Dirty Pair came from some novels that were written long before any animation was done. In the books, MUGHI was described and sketched as a displacer beast looking creature.

A lot of the background for the two come from these novels, though I've never seen them or even been able to find them online. If you can find them, it might provide more insight for you on the background.

I think it is...*shrug* I also think they enjoy the personal touch!

In short, yes. No matter which particular version of the ship they are using, it is _always_ well armed for it's size. The original series version (the pink ship with the underslung looking extra engine pod and anvil shaped upper hull) probably had the single most powerful weapon that any of them had. The aperture on the front end of the bottom engine pod was an enormous energy cannon (fusion, particle or Laser I'm not sure). The ship also had some missile batteries.

Other ships that have carried the Lovely Angel moniker have had various vaguely defined armament. Usually multiple laser cannon and missiles. The version used in the OVAs and Flight 005 Conspiracy had a missile payload that rivaled the Minerva from Crusher Joe.

(Edit - a clumsily misleading sentence. The missiles do NOT come out of the same aperture as the laser cannon!)

Blaming the Angels, to a certain degree, is like blaming John Sheriden for the Shadow War. He was doing what he thought best, but ISN had a louder voice than he did. Therefore, Captain Sheriden wasn't a war hero as much as he was a deserter. That's a loose analogy anyway.
