Kiddy Grade III: Truth Dawn

In a future where humanity spreads across countless planets and everyday life depends on advanced tech, crime grows more complicated and far reaching. To manage cross planetary trade and law the Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs, GOTT, keeps order. Hidden inside GOTT is the ES Force, a secret unit of twelve young operatives with unusual powers who take on missions ordinary officers cannot handle. The film centers on two junior agents, Lumiere and Éclair, as they carry out assignments that seem routine at first but reveal inconsistencies in the organization they serve. As they follow leads, meet allies and adversaries, and protect civilians, unsettling information about GOTT's practices forces them to reassess who they can trust.

Released in 2007, Kiddy Grade III: Truth Dawn was directed by Keiji Gotoh. The animated film continues the Kiddy Grade franchise, bringing original series characters back to the screen and extending plot threads for viewers familiar with the TV show.

It holds a modest 6.5/10 average from five votes, reflecting niche interest. Viewers often point to the central relationship, ethical questions about power and authority, and stylish sci fi visuals, though some say the film depends on prior knowledge of the series and its backstory to fully appreciate its plot.

While it didn't break into mainstream anime awareness, the film reinforced fan discussion around GOTT's moral ambiguities and the ES Force's role. It kept interest alive among existing followers and sparked online debate about character choices and unexplained plot elements, and it remained a talking point at fan panels and conventions.

Box office figures aren't widely reported, and the release mostly circulated through anime venues and home media. Financial results didn't draw broad attention, so precise revenue numbers are not readily available. It saw limited theatrical runs and niche DVD sales.
