(CR) Kiddy Girl-And (Kiddy Grade 2)

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Wait, so if Q-feuille is about 7-8 years old, was she a clone or a genetically engineered human or what? In any case, I never would have guessed given that she's supposedly the more mature half of the Asceour/Q-feuille partnership.

There's definitely something odd about Dia though. I'm thinking that perhaps ES Members are not born, but made by the GTO itself, or something. We'll see.

Nope. Get rid of her and bring back Eclaire and Lumiere. Or those new look-alikes that appeared an episode or two back.

I have to say... I'm really hoping that, at the very least, we get a couple episodes focusing primarily on the new look-alikes.

Ascoeur wouldn't be a problem if she was just some wandering super-powered person going to school and whatnot... like a MU mutant... but as an ES candidate, she leaves a lot to be desired. Director Hiver must really have a fetish for how she looks, and that's all that's keeping her around, lol.

In the manga Ascoeur and Q-feuille had spent 6 months accompanying The Tweedle Twin and the Buddhist couple respectively on missions being being assigned to work together in the cafe. I'm assuming this holds true for the anime also.

Their "Rank" is given as C-

[GDB]

Until they make at least some vague reference to it, I'm not assuming anything to be true from the manga.

Also, there's a manga?

[karasuma]

Ah!!!!! Ep 3 now. Where is the kickass action scene and nifty super power?!?

The manga has been running in Comp Ace since March, the first tankoubon was released at the end of September. They have the same writer and the same characters - however Dia is, thus far, original to the anime, as are Rubis and Saphir (Torch and Shade have appeared in neither). On the other hand, A-ou and Un-ou have yet to appear in the anime, as have Pauk and Letuchie, while Troyes and Trixie didn't show up till chapter 6 (the end of volume 1).
The manga started earlier than the anime, with Ascoeur on her final training mission with Tweedledee and Tweedledum before being partnered with Q-feuille and assigned as waitresses. I've only seen a translation of the first chapter, but most chapters basically consist of them being attacked by some men in black with various mecha while out on errands and defeating them so neither have got very far anyway.

about the CCS reference in episode 3, is there any connection with the VA cast or studio production to it, or is it just a random reference.

I think it was fairly random (although it was planned in advance - look out for references in the previous episode), but they had Yui Makino do her voice - she was Sakura in Tsubasa Chronicles.

[Dist]

And how is Sakura in Tsubasa Chronicles related to CCS's Sakura ?

.. Anyway, I just came here to ask that if the first '' season '' of this series is any relevant? Should I watch the first season first before watching this one, because I can't seem to even see any real '' story '' in this anime, thus it doesn't feel like a continuation.

[Shiroi Hane]

Like most of the characters in Tsubasa, Sakura is an alternate universe version of the CCS Sakura (where Clow was her father and Fujitaka was Syaoran's adoptive father, she'salso older).

So far the first series has little bearing on this one, although there might be more in the next episode given it's title but I wouldn't expect an immense degree. As it stands I think you're more likely to spoil certain elements of the first series if you were thinking of watching it later rather than missing out on anything major, but there's no way of knowing what will come later when (if) it finally get's serious. Currently I'd liken it to Gatekeepers - I watched GK21 first and enjoyed it, although I missed out on some of the cameos and references and spoiled myself on one of the characters from the first series when I later watched it.

[Dist]

Oh yeah damn, I totally forgot CCS is also by Clamp.. my bad.

Thanks also for the information about the first series.. Gotta think about if I have time/interest to even watch it. I kinda like KG2 as it is now, pretty relaxing and funny. Not that I mind if it gets serious, though.

is season 1 kiddy grade any good

i havent watched season 1 or 2 yet :><

[Anh_Minh]

Damn, now I feel dirty for thinking Q-Feuille's sexy.

[willyvereb]

Well, being 7 years old may explain some of her more childish reactions and why she can put up with Asceour.

[Shiroi Hane]

Regardless of whatever age she actually is, she still has the body of a 16-year old and that's the "sexy" part. If you didn't find her sexy until she said she was 7, that would be "dirty".

[Kalshion]

So her physical appereance is as a sixteen year old girl, her mental state is a mature teenager *Which is rare in todays society, but anyway....* and yet, her actual age is 7?

She'd have to either be a clone, a genetically altered humam being, or perhaps cyborg... and I don't like the cyborg part since we haven't seen any indication of that being the case.

Otherwise, I guess we'll need to wait until later.

Actually, if Ascoeur is also seven years old, could that explain why the Director and the others tolerate her?

You can pretty much rule out cyborgs. The Kiddy Grade universe have reached such an advanced tech in nanomachines, that they don't use blocks of metal to replace human bodyparts anymore. Artificial organs? Sure. But cybernetics, as in something visibly mechanical, is so antiquated to them, it is the equivalent of a steam engine in our time.

[willyvereb]

Well, but they can be still cyborgs...or maybe more likely androids. If the ES agents' body made up entirely of nanomachines then they're pretty much machines even if they're like humans. But it's been confirmed the very least that they're artifical humans, the very least after their first change of body.

Anyways, I doubt Asceour is 7 years old. She's probably older guessing from Q-Feuille's talk and the funny sketch mid-episode. Maybe she's as old as physically things suggest...

[Anh_Minh]

Could be a robot brain.
