The Lovely Angels are back and ready for more fast-paced action. Armed with bevy of new misadventures and another interesting cast of characters, Kei and Yuri set out to entertain the masses once again in this frantic fit of fun. The five episodes presented in this collection offer a brand new set of cases that are bound to keep fans and neophites alike interested and entertained.

After their last escapade, the Lovely Angels have seen a return to normalcy as everything seems to have returned to its little rut. Gone is chief Garner, replaced by the testy Poporo. Unfortunately for the Lovely Angels, their reputation far exceeds their true skill and the two have risen to a form of infamy in the WWWA. Poporo, giving the two the benefit of the doubt, gives the girls the job of protecting Trouble Consultant (Tro-Con henceforth) Tohma, computer specialist extraordinaire, as they accompany him to the simply named World's World. World's World is a planetary theme park that encompasses the twentieth century in all of its aspects, from lifestyle to atmosphere. Apparently there is an error with the computer system there and Tohma's services are needed. Unfortunately, on the way to the World's World airport, the girls' ship is shot down, which forces them to make an emergency landing. While this may not sound so bad, the girls ended up taking out the entire spaceport in the process, which leaves many guests stranded for the time being. The girls, following their orders, set out for Shinjuku, where the park's headquarters is located. After reaching headquarters, the three find that the park's main computer is infected with a virus and will take some time to repair. This leaves the girls with quite a bit of time on their hands. However, it won't pass quietly as they will have to deal with bomb-toting terrorists, haunted high schools, clever con men, and more during their stay in World's World.

"Room service. Here's your fiery death special, sir."	The Lovely Angels are back and ready for more action.

This is probably my favorite of the three Dirty Pair Flash series. While keeping the new Flash characters, the series still manages to get the closest to the original Dirty Pair feel, with more of an emphasis on the story and more hilarious, hapless destruction. The characters of Kei and Yuri have also evolved past their "Flash 1" counterparts, displaying obvious growth between the two series. The plot manages to keep things moving without becoming hackneyed or overplayed.

In terms of video, Flash 2 has taken a drastic step upward. The grain and color bleed that plagued the first volume have been drastically reduced, leaving behind a much cleaner transfer than the original. However, the audio tracks can be disappointing in places. On the one hand, the Japanese track is excellent, with a very clear and clean sound to it overall. On the other hand, the English audio is anything but clean or clear. It sounds as if the characters are talking through layers of fabric to get their lines out. Hopefully ADV sees this error and fixes it for the third and final volume.

On the presentation front, Flash 2 gets the same "ADV" treatment that its predecessor did. Along with the standard character biographies, the show sports the original trailer for the series, as well as a clean opening and closing. The packaging features Kei and Yuri striking a pose standing back-to-back, with Yuri taking the center stage. The back's layout features another back-to-back picture of the Lovely Angels, this time with Kei taking the spotlight. The blurbs detail the contents of the disc, as well as the extras that this collection sports.

In the first volume, Dirty Pair Flash had a very open ending, which left me wanting more. The second volume managed to exceed my expectations with flying colors. Hopefully, the series' conclusion will not lose the massive amount of momentum generated thus far.
