Kiddy Girl-AND/Trivia


 * Anime First - There is a manga, Kiddy Girl-and Pure, which was released simultaneously (it actually started serialization in Comp Ace before the anime started) but the story differed wildly. A novel adaptation was released later.
 * Bad Export for You - it is a HD show but despite there being no sign of a western DVD release, let along Blu-ray, the Crunchyroll streams are limited to 480P.
 * The Danza - Shiraishi, voiced by Minoru Shiraishi. Hell, he even gets to say his famous Wasuremono line up to how he says it.
 * Development Hell - from announcement to release took three years, including two years of complete sience and an unexplained change of animation studio:
 * The "K-G.2" project was announced in October 2006.
 * In January 2007 the studio (asread) and basic details were announced.
 * A Pilot DVD was released in May 2007.
 * In February 2009 the official title was finally announced along with news that it was now being animated by Satelight. Clearly there was also more than a little tweaking done to the basic story as well since it bore little resemblance to the Pilot and one of the main characters had a fairly radical redesign, both in appearance and personality.
 * The first episode airs in October 2009.
 * Hey, It's That Voice! / Names to Know in Anime:
 * Akira Ishida - Un-ou
 * Aya Hirano - Lumière.
 * Jun Fukuyama - Tweedledee.
 * Kikuko Inoue makes an appereance as Alv, with her trademark "Juunanasai" in ep 05.
 * Minoru Shiraishi - as the voice of okama Mi nourose, most of the mecha, and himself in one episode (including a reprise of his most popular line from Suzumiya Haruhi). He also wrote Ascoeur's "Pumpkin Pudding" ditty and stars in most of the DVD extras (half of the time in drag).
 * Norio Wakamoto - The Narrator voice of the first episode, immediately making it (at least, its narration) epic.
 * Also voices mascot character TAMA and returns as Che in one episode (voicing both characters simultaneously).
 * Alisa: That sweet melodious voice, and that calculated look in his eyes! He's the ultimate Seme!
 * What Could Have Been - Just watch the original pilot.
