''Kiddy Girl-AND'' is a 2009 [[Spin Off]] of the popular series ''[[Kiddy Grade]]''. The series opens with the main characters of the first series make a brief cameo before being [[No One Could Survive That|ambiguously]] [[Earthshattering Kaboom|vaporized]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|trying to save the universe from a vaguely established threat]]. After this bit of extreme closure the show jumps leads to a new [[Lovely Angels|pairing]] and takes a sharp turn for the absurd. The new main characters are Ascoeur, a [[Cloudcuckoolander|slightly unhinged]] waitress, and her [[Straight Man|unflappable]] partner, Q-feuille, who are training to become ES members. Thus begins a [[Trope Overdosed|self-parodying]] romp that feels like a permanent [[A Day At the Bizarro|day at the bizzaro]] in the ''Kiddy Grade'' universe full of [[Panty Shot|panty shots]], swapped voice actors, mecha-dragons armed with light sabers, and pudding. Grab your popcorn, recite the [[MST3K Mantra|troper's prayer]] three times, and get ready for the ''Kiddy Girl'' experience.

Kiddy Girl-AND is a 2009 Spin-Off of the popular series Kiddy Grade. The series opens with the main characters of the first series make a brief cameo before being ambiguously vaporized trying to save the universe from a vaguely established threat. After this bit of extreme closure the show jumps leads to a new pairing and takes a sharp turn for the absurd. The new main characters are Ascoeur, a slightly unhinged waitress, and her unflappable partner, Q-feuille, who are training to become ES members. Thus begins a self-parodying romp that feels like a permanent day at the bizzaro in the Kiddy Grade universe full of panty shots, swapped voice actors, mecha-dragons armed with light sabers, and pudding. Grab your popcorn, recite the troper's prayer three times, and get ready for the Kiddy Girl experience.

Tropes used in Kiddy Girl-AND include:
  1. ↑ While Pauki is the official spelling, it is actually the plural form; the singular "Pauk" makes more sense and fits the pronunciation better
