this episode wasn't as bad. Fool is such a perv. I love him <3

Sora still annoys me a lot. this anime isn't nearly as good as Glass Mask but it's still somewhat entertaining.

off to the next episode~

best reaction to a helpful spirit I've seen, shove him in a closet and go ask for a new room XD
when that fails, blind fold him and hang him by his legs XD XD

loving the character introductions too :)

I don't think that guy liked being saved from the cop that way ;)

that spirit is definitely a pervert ; )

I haven't seen Glass Mask, but its my understanding that its far more of a drama than this show. it'd be better to compare it to La Corda D'Oro, which still isn't the same, but is probably closer.

I loved this episode. She worked her ASS off to do the Golden Phoenix. I hate to say it but this episode makes me want to work hard (lol cheesy, I know.) I still think Layla is a bitch. >:(

Layla's still too harsh... Maybe if she gets some character development explaining why she is that way, she'll seem more forgivable. <_< For now though? Not liking her.

Amazing that, with a little hint from Yuri, Sora managed to do the Golden Phoenix, even though she missed the bar... I hope she doesn't seriously like that guy though. D: I like Ken and his cute little crush for her that she seems totally ignorant of. Hope that, if there are romantic developments, they occur between Sora and Ken rather than Sora and Yuri (who is virtually always with Layla anyway?!).

Fool is great. XD I'm glad he can't cast magic or something to make Sora instantly better - that'd be boring... He is amusing though, for suuure~

"I'm listening to the lecture. Don't mind me." *swings on the doorway* XD!

Fool is such a perv. I like how he casually suggests Sora should take a bath with her new friends.
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Sora and Fools dynamic together is really charming. I also like how quickly they characterized Anna and Mia once they saw how much work Sora was putting in. Never give up, the future as it stands now doesn't define you! Excited for more.

I am glad the excessive bullying finally stopped, and even Miss blonde bitch acknowledged Sora's talent! I dropped Glass Mask because of the unbearable, mean-spirited shit in the beginning. I love it when assholes acknowledge their rival's talent / power like that. Looks like the spectral magic clown also has a thing for cards and is a pedo. I am getting some real Hisoka vibes from him. :P

I liked the reaction of taking him and throwing him into a locker, and not believing he exists. It feels like a very natural reaction (even though I guess it would be more natural to be completely freaked out). I also like that the show depicts Sora as having talent, but she still needs to put in a lot of hard work and doesn't just succeed right away.

I am looking forward to see all these character relationships develop more! I am not completely hooked yet, but if anything I might put it on hold in the future, and not drop it. But so far I am on-board.

Freaking Fool, this one knows what he wants.

The dislike the girls had towards Sora was understandable considering how she got a spot and even performed, this challenge and all the effort she put made them realize that she's here well deservedly enough, nice episode.

I mean story is kinda typical right now and characters remind of millions of others I've seen before...Waiting for interesting part to start I guess.
This is the technique only high level pros perform... some random japanese girl completes on like 75-80% for just a week of intense training.I'm not an expert in shoujo genre, but that's just the same thing you would usually expect from shounen protagonists.

It's been more than 10 years since this show aired, but looks like viewers haven't changed a bit.Same complete misunderstanding of characters I see everywhere.

''Leyla is a bitch''.No, she is not.She takes pride in what she does and doesn't want random undeserving people to be there.She surely has high standarts for all performers and especially herself.That's normal for passionate people to not like when others disgrace the thing they love the most.

The boss is a nuisance with his looking at her legs .

People made their feelings about Sora be heard and got a display of her perseverance and talent so now they might be able to relax a little bit with the way they interact with her.

It was a great episode.

Sora really worked hard to prove herself and I love her determination.
