Kiddy Girl-AND is a 2009
Spin Off of the popular series
Kiddy Grade. The series opens with the main characters of the first series make a brief cameo before being
ambiguously vaporized trying to save the universe from a vaguely established threat. After this bit of extreme closure the show jumps leads to a new
pairing and takes a sharp turn for the absurd. The new main characters are Ascoeur, a
slightly unhinged waitress, and her
unflappable partner, Q-feuille, who are training to become ES members. Thus begins a
self-parodying romp that feels like a permanent
day at the bizzaro in the
Kiddy Grade universe full of
panty shots, swapped voice actors, mecha-dragons armed with light sabers, and pudding. Grab your popcorn, recite the
troper's prayer three times, and get ready for the
Kiddy Girl experience.
