I finished Kiddy Girl-and the other day. I hate comparing shows like this to their predecessors because this kind of show is really almost stand alone just set in the same universe. However, this one did have Eclair and Lumiere in it at the end, so...oh, did I forget the other three or four ES pairs?
This time around the ES members are two apprentices who cover as waitresses for the GTO which is the new version of the GOTT. The Nouvlesse, led by a charismatic ability user, are planning a comeback...
I would have liked this show much better if it had not followed Kiddy Grade (which I am proud to say adorns a covetted place on my anime shelf) making it seem that the juvenile title is a perfect fit. Even given the opportunity to be a coming of age story, it failed to develop any of the chara to the extend of intellectual stimulation for the viewer.
Mind you, the story was great, the potential for magnifcence was there, it just was not followed through on.
I enjoyed it for what it was and the antics of Ascour and Di-air kept me entertained, so i'll give it a 6.2 on the Z-scale...
