Customer Reviews of Kiddy Grade - The Peacekeeper (Vol. 1)

Kiddy Grade AWESOME just wait...
For this first DVD, you will just have to sit back and enjoy the battles, humor, and fan service. The plot does not pick up until the next disk. But dont dismiss this anime because of its slow start!!!! I PROMISE you that it will totally blow you away as you get into it! Just when you think there will never be a plot, it hits you in the face. AND IT IS GREAT! Eclair and her partner and their friends make this anime incredible both for its action and its artwork. I def reccomend it!

***just wanted to edit this to say that I originally thought this release was 7 disks of 4 eps or so...since then I have found this disk only has 3 eps on it. So, basically I have to correct myself and say that the plot will pick up on the 3rd disk. But dont be discouraged!! Its awesome, plus, the eps in the beginning introduce characters and situations that will become very important at the end!

Kiddy Grade = Perfecto!
Episodes one through three don't seem to be related at all, however, the story and the characters are engaging. The story sounds simple enough, a group or organization called the GOTT is used to combat and eliminate all terroristic threats to world peace. The two members in which the story mainly revolves around are both Eclair and Lumiere. Eclair is a hands-on-combat-fighter, whereas Lumiere uses her technological powers to take complete control over any type of machinery. Yes, there is fan service for something that is titled "Kiddy Grade," however the artwork rivals that of Full Metal Alchemist (another great anime). The humor, the action, and the story-telling promises us a great series far into the near future. I would highly recommend giving this product a shot!

Another Galactic Union?
No, this series is set in the Global Union. The characters, most of them anyway, work for the ES, a branch of the Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs. The ES deals with big time criminals, protecting trade missions and general law enforcement. Eclair, a 16 year old armed with a superhuman speed and a dangerous tube of lipstick, and Lumiere, a even younger girl who is linked to the ship and can link with almost any machine, is her partner. Together, with the other agents, they work to help the planetary governments of the Union keep the peace.
I took away a point because the first DVD only has three episodes and, even with all the extras, I couldn't give it five points. Some of it was fun, even interesting (like the launching scenes - is that a type of space elevator?), but Eclair's powers and skills seemed to rely on her TUBE of LIPSTICK. Now, that's plain silly. Extras include character files, trailers, a image gallery and even the original commercials. 75 minutes total.
In other words, the show is OK, but the DVD value stinks.
I DID enjoy hearing Lumiere's English voice, that of Monica Rial, who is also in "Noir" and "Najica: Blitz Tactics". She always sounds SO cute!
