Ginban Kaleidoscope continues to deliver in the price/performance category, and keeps the laughs rolling in despite its shrimpy budget. Where else can you get your fill of figure skating, tomato binging, and bowel movement in 20 minutes or less?
As Tazusa becomes accustomed to having Peet shadow her all the time, we learn a bit more about her situation as one of Japan’s top skater. Apparently, in the previous year she was one of two skaters representing Japan in the Olympic quals, but since the other skater (the beloved Shitou Kyoko) was unable to compete due to injuries, Tazusa alone was responsible for securing Japan’s spots in the Olympics. Unfortunately, she flubbed up dramatically, and Japan lost two of its three spots due to her poor performance. Of course, now the entire country seems to blame her and have been hounding her steps ever since. With the Olympic trials coming up soon, she’s going to have to prove herself better than Shitou Kyoko to secure her position as Japan’s representative.
There’s this whole plot thing about a sneaky reporter dude who is trying to advance the cause of Japanese figure skating by arranging a meeting between the supposed “bitter rivals” Kyoko and Tazusa. But really, who cares? The important thing is that Tazusa hasn’t emptied her intestines yet because of Peet’s presence…but how much longer can she hold it? Peet’s getting pretty cramped up too, since he can feel everything she does. Tazusa has also discovered that Peet hates tomatoes with a passion, and eats them as punishment whenever possible (going so far as to keep a stash of tomatoes handy in every situation). Perhaps she doesn’t realize that this is hastening her inevitable trip to the can.
Ginban Kaleidoscope’s plot will most likely be a rehash of ever other sports anime plot out there (work hard, powah up, win the championships), but all the extra filler material in between make it enjoyable to watch. Tazusa is also unlike most sports anime heroines in that she’s kind of an ass, and has a massive ego to boot (what else can you say about someone who constantly refers to herself as a ‘person of exceptional beauty and talent’?). I only hope that prolonged exposure to the constantly upbeat Peet will not mellow her out.
Last note: there was an actual intro this time! Nothing special, but it’s better than nothing. Also, the ending animation is of…<gasp>…a kaleidoscope view! Shocking, isn’t it?

I really really want to know if there’s a season 2 of ginban kaleidoscope. I wonder if pete will come back. And take note pete pumps is so cute but I cried a lot to the ending of the story I’m wishing for the season 2 of the anime . and the most important is that ginban kaleidoscope is a very good anime actually it is one of my favorite anime
i hope Tazusa dan Pete is grow together and then tey’re get married ^_^ and get watch movie .oh ya that anime is really good and amazing to me .
Ginban Kaleidoscope is the best ^_^
koniichiwa.
i was looking forward to this anime. It is very sad……..peet leave tazusa. i hope there is season 2 about tazusa and peet meet again, it would be nice… hope so…… season 2……… 
I was hoping it would turn out that Pete was just in a coma and recovered in the last episode but, no. Dead-dead. Very hard to have a Season 2 when half the duo has died and gone to heaven.
…Of course, the NEXT Winter Olympics are coming up so logically if they were going to revive the franchise that would be a good time.
koniichiwa. everyone i wantwd to say that i love ginban kaleidoscope ! so pls. support Ginban kaleidoscope tnx
The last flying of tazusa and petie is a sad flying

I can make manga of ginban kaleidoscope if I can get the story. I can draw anime well so I think I’ll be able to do it. but, I’m 80% sure there is going to be a season 2 so no worries.
there will be a season 2 I’m sure of it… well… kind of….
I think pete is just in coma and i think aerobatic plane has a ejection system or something that pete use second before crash, and the impact get pete in coma, He’s not dead that’s what I’m saying that’s why heaven didn’t took pete in the first place…
Well… That’s what a think ^^
