ES Members Éclair and Lumière were involved in a battle to determine fate of the galaxy and they prevailed in the face of danger. However, years passed and now the galaxy has entered another era of chaos. The general feel of the Kiddy Grade universe remains unchanged and the story takes place after the end of the first series, though the exact time lapsed has not been confirmed yet. The new heroines are “Asukuuru” (resembles Lumière) and “Kufiiyu” (resembles Éclair). Look forward to possible appearances by characters from the first series. The limited edition pilot episode DVD is 7-minute long and cost ￥2,940.
All information taken from Moon Phase Zakki.
The names are direct romanization from Japanese (アスクール and クフィーユ), so they are almost definitely wrong. I tried googling around in French but couldn’t find anything close.
More sci-fi yuri action coming your way soon.

2 940 Japanese yen = 18.7807736 Euro
holy …
Thats about 2,7 Euro per minute ! Woah… If you sum that up to normal film standards … A 120min DVD would cost a whooping 322 euro !!
Or even more.
1minute = 60sec = 60*23,97 frames
So you pay roughly 0,19 cent per drawn picture…
Alter kannich Geld scheißen oder was ?!?!
(sry for rant)
This is a LITTLE bit expensive… deshou?

Okay we got “believed to be Lumiere/Eclair” from moonphase, yet 2ch, mixi, and even beerman are reporting it’s not them at all. I don’t know what to believe anymore, hahah. But all I really care is YAY, more K-G doujinshi on the way ;P

OMG the picture looks so tempting to copy right now my fingers are twitching with excitement! OMFG KG2!!!!

Ops. It’s 思わせる instead of 思われる… so it’s more like “resembles” instead of “believed to be”. I shouldn’t translate stuff 2am in the morning.
