You Don't Want to Miss Out On This!, October 17, 2008
This review is from: Kiddy Grade - The Complete Series (The Viridian Collection) (DVD)
I first came across Kiddy Grade on TV. I thought it was really cool. I think that both genders should like watching this series. The graphics are good, the picture clear and the sound is grate. There is a total of 24 episodes, English and Japanese languages and the usual kind of extras. This is a sci-fi anime with very cool fight scenes, drama, suspense a good story line and some pretty neat robots. The story revolves around Éclair and Lumiere who are ES Force members of the Global Union, a shadow force that serves as the primary law enforcement for the Galaxy. Éclair and Lumiere go through quite a few exciting adventures and through out them you'll fall in love with both characters. Éclair begins to remember bits and pieces from her past and during a tedious mission the situation escalates to the point where Éclair can't take anymore and losses it which results in her and her partner being hunted down by their fellow Es members some of whom where friends. This series has a good ending; it's funny, sad, and exciting all at once. You won't regret buying the Viridian Collection. This is truly a great show. NOTE: I wouldn't recommend this series for anyone under the age of 16. There isn't any bad language but there is some adult humor and suggestive scene like the clothing the girls are wearing etc.

Slow start but great conclusion., August 1, 2010
This review is from: Kiddy Grade - The Complete Series (The Viridian Collection) (DVD)
I bought this series quite a while ago and just now finished watching it. Have you ever gone to a party and nothing really was happening , so you left to go to another party ,only to find out later that the first party turned out to be ' the party of the year'? That's the comparison I have about Kiddy Grade . I watched the first 3 discs and they were good but they didn't have that 'Wow factor' that keeps you rooted to the screen. So the other day I grabbed the box off the shelf and inserted disc 4 . Thats when I realized I had 'left the party ' too soon.
The first 3 discs are good , giving insight about the girls personalities and the various missions they are sent on , the introduction of other GOTT teams and also hinting that something is amiss behind the scenes at the GU and GOTT. Disc 4 is really where the show takes off. All the missions the girls were sent on were just small pieces to a large picture and also giving the back story of Eclair and Lumiere.
The characters I liked from the beginning . They couldn't be more completely opposite , Lumiere is the epitome of a refined elegant lady and despite appearing to be much younger than Eclair ,she is more level headed and sensible. Eclair is more of a free spirit who sometimes lets her emotions overrule her orders , she's not afraid to go out in public dressed sloppily or picking up a piece of dropped food and eating it , much to the chagrin of Lumiere who points out she should act more elegantly.
So if you want a great series at a great price , then Kiddy Grade fits the bill. The last 5 discs more than make up for the pacing of the first 3. The characters are as diverse as any cast I've ever seen , with each GOTT team having distinct personalities and powers.
One of the extras on the discs are portfolios of the Gott teams outlining their personalities , their powers and equipment.
Trust me on this one Kiddy Grade is a great show and a great value that you should pick up.

Kinda Scattered but still a great story, July 8, 2010
This review is from: Kiddy Grade - The Complete Series (The Viridian Collection) (DVD)
Although the characters may not be explored too much or the story kind of one tracked the fact of the matter when you follow them around on their adventure and begin to understand the story you will be happy that you purchased this item. A Nice story that shows the sands of time come more then once a lifetime and that choices you make in the past will impact your future and have potential to influence greatly.
The story does take time to pick up and is very slow but all in all, i say this is worth buying. In the end it was worth every second the clock ticked away at the finale of the series
