The 2002 sci-fi series Kiddy Grade is now available to stream in its entirety on Hulu and Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The show follows Éclair and Lumière, a low-ranked but powerful duo within the Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs (GOTT), tasked with tackling major galactic crimes in a future where humanity has colonized numerous planets.
Produced by Studio Gonzo, known for their work on Vandread and Last Exile, Kiddy Grade dives into themes of class struggle, artificial intelligence, and espionage, all wrapped in a real robot mecha aesthetic. While its MAL score sits at a respectable 7.19, the series offers a blend of high-octane action and political intrigue that defined early 2000s space opera.
The series spawned a sequel, Kiddy Girl-AND, and a manga adaptation, Kiddy Grade Reverse. With all 24 episodes available, viewers can binge the complete story of Éclair and Lumière's missions and their place within the GOTT hierarchy.
