When I first heard of the anime "Kiddy Grade" a few years back, the title initially made me think it would be a rather childish anime. A kiddy-grade anime, if you will. What it turned out to be was an anime about a pair of nanomachine-empowered girls, Éclair and Lumière. The two girls work for the GOTT - Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs - as special enforcers known as "ES Members". The show started out fairly lighthearted, but it became much darker as the series progressed.

I ended up liking Kiddy Grade well enough, but wasn't overly crazy about it. In fact, I had almost forgotten about the series entirely. Then one day I came across Kiddy Girl - sorry, Kiddy Gi RL-AND - on Crunchyroll, and suddenly remembered that Kiddy Grade did, in fact, exist and was something I watched. Seeing this sequel/spinoff up on Crunchyroll, I decided to take a look. How does it compare?

Well, rather than outright tell you, why don't we go through this episode by episode? This is a liveblog, afterall.

At least in Plan 9, the stupidity of the solarbonite bomb explanation was in a movie we were already laughing at rather than taking seriously. This, well,

"I'd ask that this anime start making sense, but... this is the same anime that goes from Hulk!TAMA in one episode to actually trying to be serious in the next."

I think you summed it up pretty well so far. It's a common trait of bad anime.
