Ok, I understand what you mean now. You're saying that regardless of what they call themselves, they're actually theives. At first I had thought you meant that the writer of the film made a mistake in using the term Borrowers, as opposed to the thieves.

Eclair has a Lipstick Whip. Clearly the show was so good that you have a firm grasp of the character names!
Oh shit youre right, I meant Eclair >_
Lumiere can control electronics with her touch.
I dont know why I said Lumiere honestly.
Also I haven't seen the show in years, but talking about it now makes me want to revisit it soon.
You mean you haven't seen it yet?
You must right this wrong ASAP.
I'll even let you put Ultimate Girls on hiatus to watch it

That alone is reason enough to watch it!
So, what is Kiddy Grade actually about?
THe G.O.T.T (Galactic Organization of Trade and Tarriffs) has several divisions of enforcement based on rank (gradeS) at the bottom, Kiddy Grade, is Eclair and Lumire. they enforce various laws in the galaxy normally, but they get caught up in some conspiracies and politics. there are lots of pseudo-mech fights with higher ranking characters and some other neat stuff. Each member of the division has special powers of some sort.
So it's a magical girl mecha show?
You could say that. but its really not mecha. Eclair and Lumiere use a special ship called the LaMuse and a little robot called wirbelwind. Other members have similar robots, but they arent really mecha as you think of the traditional mecha.
I'm already watching too many series as it is, but I might toss it onto the backlog.

You should, nice film with generous pacing.
*gasp* I would neeever...
Speaking of Ghibli, thinking of trying Only Yesterday next.
Personally one of those, "First half was cool" peoples. Second half was eye-roll worthy EXCEPT FOR
the galaxy fighting near the end, I respected that with much hype.
I'm drawing a blank here....
just stop watching it at Episode 16 and save yourself the disappointment of the second half.
What fun is that?
the show goes balls-out crazy.
I like balls-out craziness.
That's why I watch shows like this.
I disliked practically every character change and plot change in the second half of the show.
Thats disappointing, however I did buy the series, so I may as well stick to it. I might enjoy it more, who knows?

I hear ya Envelope. I hear ya's.
I KNOW!
...I don't know.
Just have fun with it then, man. Penguin Drill to the heaveeeeeens, etc!
Hmmm, is there nothing like that in existence? Or do you mean more aesthetically/visually functioning like Steam?
It was a joke based on the running gag that everyone in FMA makes fun of how short Ed is
So similar to crunchyroll?

I should have gotten that.

All that Kozaki talking earlier reminded me that I've been sitting on this series for a long while. I gotta say, it's not bad. Generi--stoic, badass wandering ronin, meets traveling parteners, etc...etc...--and produced so very cheaply, but the characters seem like a lot of fun, and the story's blitzing from the first ep; have to appreciate that. Sunrise also did Kozaki better than Gonzo did, ten-fold. Which is to say that it's nowhere near one hunnid percent, but that's basically me asking for him to animate the whole show himself.

I was eventually going to hit Utena as well.
These pre-requisites are disheartening!
Edit: Oh, only for influential weight? I'm saved!

It might actually be good!
Or just do like me and skip all the boring long shit and go for Utena.
And then buy it all over again because of the pretty boxes ;_;
But those are all good shows!

I know, but that's quite a pretty number of episodes to get a hold of the influence behind it. :S
*Googles*
OOOoooo AAaaah
I know I will love it, I'm not sure why I keep putting it off. Starting new series always feels like a chore, that's why I stick to low episode OVAs and movies
You can also just ignore Jex!
It's better to look at those shows in that light only if you've already seen Utena and loved it. Otherwise, they're just good shows in their own right.
Well, Sailor Moon is about this girl named Usagi...
Actually, Ikuhara had involvement in Sailor Moon, so you still have to watch the bulk of the prerequisite episodes, ahahahahah.
There is no established order for experiencing the path to Utena. I'm actually doing it backwards, having watched Utena first and now Sailor Moon. If you watch Rose of Versailles just to enhance your Utena experience, you'll only end up fatigued by the time you finally get to the good stuff and unable to properly appreciate it
but totally let me know if you ever marathon it so I can too
Sailor Moon is some magical girl show that isn't important
Oniisama e is an all girl private school emotional political roller-coaster melodrama
This show nearly destroyed me a few times. Too much drama!
Rose of Versailles I'm not sure yet.
You need to watch it, Cajun.

But his monocle is intimidating...
Self-proclaimed Hipster points earned!
Of course. Its on the must-see at any cost list.
Work needs to stop being a fucker and just get us back on our original schedule. then I will have all the time in the world to watch everything.
PGSM is what people should really be watching anyway!
True Sailor Moon fans watch both!
I HAVE seen the live action. It is glorious. and the production budget was astoundingly cheap. At one point they cut Luna's eyes in half to make her change expressions.
Actually, we're probably the hipsters for finding critical value in something that's mostly enjoyed by little girls
even though there is actually tons of critical value and entertainment for all ages.
I really need to find the energy to marathon more
That was an amazing moment. I'm going to finish the first season before I resume the live action, though.
