FUNimation have a new version of their Kiddy Grade site up at http://www.funimation.com/kiddygrade/. It is again 100% flash but has a nice splash page and also features the first two episodes streaming in a (very small) window. The downside, and it is a big one, is that they have removed all the actual content related to the series (much of it fairly unique as they had access to translations of the Japanese material that all I can do is squint at.. luckily I have a copy of it all on my harddrive still). They have also nixed the domain (intentionally or not I'm not sure) - http://www.kiddygrade.tv/ is currently returning a 404 error however http://www.kiddygrade.tv/index.html works. I suspect it is because the two sites are served from the same physical location and they have renamed the index file without updating the config for the domain.
Hi Shiroi. This is a nice blog you have here - I found it googling! I'm commenting because I'm trying to write an article on Kiddy Grade (which will probably just get on my blog, but who knows where I'll go with it). I had gone to the funimation site to look at the detailed info they had there, but it was gone. So why do that?! Anyway, I was wondering if you could possibly share a copy of that info you have. I wish I had copied it too, but when I had originally seen it I was just curious about Kiddy Grade. Anyway, thanks for reading, and keep up the good work. By the way, have you ever watched the Japanese version's subtitles and compared them to the funimation translation? Thanks! Vicki
You have mail :)
Sorry for the delay, but I've had server problems. I'd like to see the article when you're done with it if that's OK.
You have mail too - thanks so much!! I'll let you know when the article is done (I'm working on a different one at the same time, so it won't be done for a little while still).
hey shirio, do you remember that on the old www.kiddygrade.tv site their was a really relaxed background music, if you do know can you send me the name or a link to where I can find it, I would be really really thankful;)
If you meant the default music for the front page. I've just been through the three sound tracks twice and not heard it. I've either missed it, am thinking of the wrong song or it just isn't on there for some reason.
Nearly forgot to add: it turned out to be from the latter half of Lumiere's theme from the 2nd OST. There's enough of a break in the middle to make it seem like two separate tracks if you're listening without watching the track listing.
