Kiddy Girl-AND/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • 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 Eclair's son 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.
