Another silly cartoon. This time we’ve got Kiddy Grade, whose premise is somewhat similar to that of the Dirty Pair: two girls working for some galactic oversight group enforcing the rule of law, justice, and the good of society. Unlike the Dirty Pair, the ladies from Kiddy Grade have supernatural powers (the little one is a super-hacker and the older one has all manner of superior combat abilities). They are also minors. And competant.

Eclair is the tough-girl of the two, and as the older of two minors is the subject of 90% of the show’s fan service. She’s armed with a lipstick-based weapon that produces some kind of crazy ribbon, which she is able to use to great effect.

Lumiere is the younger, elegant teammate. She has a great rapport with their spaceship and can control electronic devices though… telepathy or something.

More images from this show can be found at the PBCC Online Gallery if you care to peek. There is some mild fanservice going on in this one, but nothing on the order of Agent Aika, or even Hand Maid May. The plotline and dialogue are a bit trite, but the animation is quite nice. It’s good in much the same way a James Bond movie is entertaining: nothing to challenge you with, and you’ve seen it all before elsewhere, but still nicely executed.
