Kiddy Girl? Well, mentally...

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...

It's not a daiper, it just looks like one...

I recently finished an anime about aliens. Tanpopo is a loli Manager for a minor toy company who comes to Earth to find a tester for a power suit the Galaxy Police commisioned for. Her rival is another poser suit developed by the Emerald Company. An unemployed student reluctantly takes the job and becomes Dokkoida.

I really loved the hilarity of all the heros and villians living under one roof without knowing who's who. The aliens throughout the galaxy were portrayed very oddly, especially the chief and Tanpopo's boss. Gags and goofiness abound in this satirical parody of superhero anime. The plot was solid and animated decently.

I was more annoyed than enamored by the Dokkoida power suit.

I enjoyed the catch OP, but the ED was lacking substance. Overall I give this one a 7.1 on the Z-scale.
