Runaway Angel
The head of the 3WA is regretting how much responsibility is put on the shoulders of the new Lovely Angels Yuri, a trouble consultant who misses work 74% of the time for dates, and Kei, an officer on probation whose violent tendencies has put on probation 3 other times. For these two, it's another normal day off just being glad you have a salary instead of wages until a dying man gives Yuri a card that has to be taken to the 3WA. Yuri and the reluctant Kei must now avoid the police, incompetent hoodlums, and being see in revealing, torn up clothing to get this card to headquarters.
What a way to open a series, get a simple concept and use it for a half hour. Like Burn-Up W, this series is based on another generation/incarnation of character filling in for the old ones which usually works. I still wonder how anime can do this so well. The main characters do seem a little overly mean to each other, but you can't help liking them for their quirks. All the action is executed well, so for what this episode was, you can't get much better. Technically, it looks a lot better that the original DP's animation and art wise and with a good sound track, this is what I call high quality anime.

Darkside Angel

Runaway Angel | Darkside Angel
Kei being a little over confident with air port security, inadvertently lets the body she was guarding get killed. The two give chase after the assassin who eventually best the Lovely Angels. Instead of killing the two heroines, she shoots some mocking shots at them and escapes. Surprisingly, the assassin is captured by military police. Kei smells a rat, and despite Yuri's objections, Kei is preparing for round two.
This episode gives us some great insight into how the main characters think and the assassin is far more interesting than one would think. The episode does feel rather slow moving though which is probably due to saving most of the action until the end by being a little overly serious. Fortunately seeing the full violent power of the angels make this episode worth seeing.
