isn't it the job of the director and the choreographer to fix these sorts of problems before opening day? the problem isn't Sora, its the lousy support staff and the idiotic owner who seems to expect Sora to develop telepathic powers to figure out whats wrong with her performance in spite of her extreme lack of experience, thereby sparing him from spending 2 mins explaining it to her or even pointing her in the right direction :/

honestly I don't know why I'm even still watching this show if this is the best they can do :/

I agree with Jacob. It's a little frustrating that Sora takes all the heat for something she has absolutely no idea she's done. >:/

I liked this episode more than the last - maybe because the characters seemed normal again? Sora was great -- she wavered but overcame the obstacles to ultimately come out on top, Ken was firm when it came to Kaleido Stage but bashful, and... the owner was still a jerk! I also don't see why Sora is taking the brunt of the blame all the time when things go wrong, especially since she's a novice, and why it seems like the owner expects her to always magically figure out what's wrong. (And sorry, Fool, you fail at that too. Tarot-card-reading is too vague to be helpful. D< )

I want to see Sora succeed but honestly this is starting to piss me off. She's a novice ffs! Give her a break! Why does she get blamed all the time? Seems like the director failed to attend every single one that is of course if they had one in the first place.

Sora finding her own Little Mermaid was great, her way to be is too different from Layla's to try to do the same.

Best episode out of 10.
I actually see Sora's development, but director is a big dum dum.
Performances are still the olny good part of the show.
I hate everyone equally

Awesome and moving episode, people suggesting that the director should "just explain" don't get it - he wants Sora to become a star, which she won't do if all she does is following someone else's directions. It's not like she's totally a newbie anymore, she has *some* experience, talent and dedicated friends.

Such a great moment for Sora (also Ken who is getting to do more things besides having a crush on her), felt so satisfying watching her develop her own Little Mermaid and the focus on how everyone got to participate; Layla got to see what was probably the moment a new star was born.

The general idea is heartwarming, but it doesn't really make sense how it was writen. That kind of problem should have been worked out in rehearsals, shouldn't it? They let her think that she was doing a good job by copying Layla, who has a lot more experience and a better tecnique, but they wanted something different from Layla's version.

I get why the crew got annoyed when Sora started to change things without previous notice, but she's just a kid in her first big role. This plot only makes sense if we assume that the higher ups didn't comunicate their wants in the first place.

At least they worked it out together instead of bullying the poor girl like in the first episodes.
