So after a long wait and the hiatus of the mysterious Kiddy Grade 2 that teased us in May 2007, the official announcement has finally occurred.
The new title is called Kiddy Girl-and. It is a spinoff of the original 2002/2003 Kiddy Grade that is set 200 years AFTER the events of Kiddy Grade. "The spirited Asukuuru and serious Ku Fīyu work for the galactic government known as GTO. The two girls are members of ES, GTO's finest secret agents with special abilities — or, rather, they are training to become ES."
There is no word as to when this will air.

So we waited 2 years for a crap title. This is likely the result of Gonzo's recent restructuring. It would seem they are using the same characters from the one episode teaser, but it seems their names have now changed. The cast remains unknown at this point. Sources indicate that Aya Hirano may be taking the lead role however. Is this the big surprise she told otakus to wait for and not Haruhi 2?
Edit: Satelight is involved in the production. It is unknown whether Gonzo still is or not. Satelight did the animation for Macross Frontier, which means blu-ray could equal epic win.
