Welcome for starters.
It depends on what you are into. I personally really liked the series. It starts out kinda fun and then goes much more serious and a little psycho. Lumiel is basically a carbon copy of Ruri from Nadesico if that helps. I thought it was annoying, though I like both characters. Its fun, very interesting. |

Kiddy Grade has great animation, good action scenes, and scattered fan service. That's about it IMO. The writers just didn't know what they wanted to do with the plot. They hint towards some interesting plotlines, but never really explore them. If you just want a fun series, it should be fine.

I whole heartedly dissagree with you there (at least on the bits regarding the writers not knowing what they wanted to do with the plot) I thought that the writers knew exactly where they wanted to go with the story and that the plot was a fairly developed one. The characters were all pretty well developed throughout the story. Eclair and Lumier were equally enjoyable protagonists and the antoginists the creators threw in truely inspired your hatred. spoiler[Namely when the GOTT had Wirbelwind destroyed, i was heartbroken] The way the series ended was equally satisfying, so all in all I think I'd say that this was a very decent anime IMO. However, as always I guess it just depends on what you're into. Lots of space action and bits of fanservice scattered throughout. Maybe pick up the first dvd and see what you think. |

I've seen a few episodes of it, and I've enjoyed it so far. I like the character designs and animation the best. I can't comment on the dub, since I've only seen subbed versions. Mmm... shoujo-ai undertones...

This is exactly what I mean by what the writers didn't have any focus. spoiler[Wirbelwind is destroyed, but is replaced with 6 more copies.] It completely lost any emotion impact that was initially created. |

Ok, I see what you mean there. spoiler[I agree that by making, or rather bringing back the "prototypes", which were the same thing as Wirbelwind it did take away from the overall weight of the story. However, I was still heart broken when Wirbelwind and Donner were destroyed.] The plot twists in the story also made up for that bit at any rate IMO. spoiler[For instance when you found out that the leader of the Nouvlesse is related (at least in the emotional sense) to Lumiere and how the Nouvlesse plan to pretty much give the rest of the universe a pretty rough time.] |

Kiddy Grade had an entertaining story. The fanservice of that particular show was horrible though. I don't mind women running around in lingerie shooting stuff. I do mind however when said women have a five yearolds body.
Fanservice that (blatantly although between the lines) magnify the notion that a child has the same psychological ability to say no or yes to the pedophile as an adult has should be boycotted. |

I enjoy it, I've only seen the first four or five episodes. The is definitly no lack of fanservice here.
I'd like to see the dub, I havn't heard anything about how good it is though. Has anyone seen the dub? |

What on Earth are you talking about? I don't remeber Lumier (i'm assuming this is relating to hear) ever consenting to any acts of the sexual nature or for that matter any acts that could be perceived as sexual. Perhaps we are talking about different animes here? (blatantly although between the lines)??? That doesn't even make sense, I myself try to stay away from oxymorons. |

Obvious although obviously not intended to be obvious. The point is, that in the documentaries about pedophilia the pedophiles interviewed often have the same excuse. "The child liked it!" They have this tendency to delude themselves that the child have the same psychological ability to understand what is happening as an adult has. Oxymorons are good for you.

Okay, now how does this have any standing AT ALL on the anime in question Kiddy Grade? You keep saying pedophilia this pedophilia that but at no point does anything relating to pedophiliar occur (or anything terribly sexual for that matter) during Kiddy Grade. "Obvious although obviously not intended to be obvious."??? That doesn't make any sense either really, and you still have yet to address what is so blatantly obvious wilst hiding under the guise of being unobvious. If you're just being ridiculous I wish you would post some place else and stop trying to slander the name of a perfectly good anime. |
