Comments on: The most screwed-up anime I’ve yet seen – Kiddy Grade http://anime.aoselectronics.com/wordpress/the-most-screwed-up-anime-ive-yet-seen-kiddy-grade_66/ Anime, Games, Music, Life, Universe Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:38:11 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: andrija http://anime.aoselectronics.com/wordpress/the-most-screwed-up-anime-ive-yet-seen-kiddy-grade_66/comment-page-1/#comment-20 andrija Sat, 19 Aug 2006 16:55:40 +0000 http://anime.aoselectronics.com/wordpress/?p=66#comment-20 Well, maybe I'm overreacting a bit. Kiddy Grade just feels wrong. Not unlike Ghost in the Shell: SOC which totalitarian governments of the world (and these days, that just about every one out there) should use as a propaganda tool. It suffers from totally inappropriate things at totally wrong times. For example, gratuitous fan service (front and center panty shots no less) in serious moments (these particular ones are actually not appropriate in almost any situation), occasional gratuitous nudity, characters which never grow up even when they're hundreds of years old - so you can have a huge boobed (who still gets a breast enlargement during a plastic surgery later) supposedly under-18-but-not-looking-like-it girl next to her younger sister who seems only a few years younger yet is completely flat chested - you can see the target market. Then there's cliched dialogue, laughable attempts at philosphy, illogical flow of action, irrational thoughts of characters, you name it. Unfortunately, it looks very colorful and it has plenty of action that looks good for a TV series - it seems to have gotten quite a budget. It really baffles me - I would imagine a son of a rich person was either the manga-ka or more likely the director, so they got loads of cash to make this show. Well, maybe I’m overreacting a bit.
