Sora's performances are so free, light, and happy. :) Episode felt unrealistic and kind of cliché (have seen things like this in other anime where the bad guy comes around because of something main character does and turns himself in...) but it was still enjoyable. Sora's strength of character is really shining through.

May still bothers me. She should go back to her ice rink. :|

I was kinda hoping that Ken would do something dramatic to save Sora from the guy robbing the bank, but I loved seeing Sora perform again.

i'm confused about the above comments. unless i'm on a completely different episode, which i'm sure i'm not, this should be the episode 41 discussion.

anyways.

May slapping Sora for not agreeing to a battle on stage is like kicking a person because they didn't want to eat something because of the taste. you just don't want to do it. now, if Sora like ran over May's pet cat and laughed immediately afterwards, then i'd understand a bit of anger and a slap would be warranted thereafter, but not for something as trivial as denying to duel against their wishes.

Layla defending May was unjust and blemishes her previous personality from the beginning half of Kaleido Star.

I'm guessing they watched a version without those 2 recap episodes after the end of the 1st season...thus discussing what happens for us like 2 eps ahead of what we know.

Indeed...by the end of the 1st season I actually started liking Layla...now...it made me think of her just like I did at the start of the series...that she's a heartless bitch.

Kaleido Love Triangle. At least that's the vibe this whole thing gives off. I really hope Sora doesn't fall for Leon though, bleh. Even if he has some tragic past, he's still a dick. Although admittedly it was a shock to watch him lose his composure when he thought of Sophie.

Ugh, Layla and May's expectations of Sora are making my head spin. I like Sora's current dream. Competition and rivalry isn't inherently bad, but it was swallowing Sora before and just wasn't fitting what she wanted to do with her performance.

Off course it was Sora's fault again; this time time for not trying to steal May's leading role.

Her no battling dream is completely unrealistic though; as there is bound to come a point where two people want the same role. Thought her dream was to make a show that's enjoyable fore everyone, not sure what no "battling" has to do with that.

And just as when you think that the show is going back to it's roots with Sora's new resolve, it seems that this episode wants to make Sora wrong again about her new resolve about not competing. Seriously, what's going on!? At this point I'm not even sure what message is this show trying to tell anymore.

And Please don't tell me that May is right about competing? To me, May's motivation is wrong and despicable. Nothing but to disrupt Sora's growth And her slapping Sora totally enrages me.

My god, May is just on her high horse, isn’t she? Rival or not, who slaps someone else because they have a different pov than you. Layla’s comment about not competing is also insulting doesn’t even apply here and why should Sora care about May’s feelings after all the sh— May put her through.

I don’t like Leon but I do enjoy how his interest in Sora is messing with May a bit so I’m hoping for more of that.
