As Ender mentioned last time, I’ve been on a slight hiatus from blogging this week. This is mostly due to the fact that I have been undergoing intense Kaleido training in the Grand Canyon. That or I have been marathoning Kaleido Star during every waking hour that was not spent toiling at work [...]

So Ender’s recent posts and endorsement of Kaleido Star finally perked my interest and I picked up episodes 29 and 30. After watching them both (about 4 times each…) I am completely hooked and in need of more. I never imagined how cool a series about a circus could be, but the stunts [...]

A rather humorous episode, chock full of SD…much more than usual, in fact. The new prodigy, May Wong, is a quite psychotic and full of herself, and cannot stand the sight of Sora!

With renewed strength and resolve, Sora and Layla begin their final training for the Mystical Act, which involves some crazy midair momentum shifts.

While Yuri’s “new and improved” Kaleido Stage has its grand opening performance (powered by expensive special effects), the trio are still living hand-to-mouth, as they desperately try to find some way to make money and rent a stage. After an attempt at a really crappy seafood restaurant job, all hope [...]

The Triple Illusion gets off to a bad start as Mia is late on the timing, and Layla has to cover for the trio. I guess news that her grandmother’s operation went well wasn’t enough to boost her powers. Meanwhile, it seems that Sora’s father has come to LA to convince Sora to [...]
