Oh God, mini Layla is cute. The competition and performance between those two were great though. I sense these intense vibration coming from both of them.

Grats Sora!

Is it strange that I wanted to cry during the entire audition? Beautiful beyond words, and the way it brought together all of Sora and Layla's growth and development was absolutely wonderful. I went from watery eyes to manly tears the moment Layla looked over and saw Sora embody the Kaleido Angel that captivated everyone in that arena. I'm so happy for Sora and this is the first in a long time that I've been so attached to a character's happiness and success.

Edit: Had to come back to this episode. Still so dazzling and lovely. Something I noticed this time is that the memories that everyone was recalling was the starting point of the dreams they've pursued. Sora's performance was bringing back memories of the birth of dreams and passions.

So much for a battle free stage then, first challenge and she's already ready to fight. Though I can understand why, Sora did make quite a big deal out of not wanting to fight.

While the "battle" was going on I was wondering why they were even competing; the beautiful speech by Layla at the end made it all clear.

This was such a beautiful episode. It was so emotional and amazing. I'm baffled. I really wish Kaleido Star had focused more on the performances instead of all the hate... Of course, it was so Sora could overcome it all, but still...

I caught myself tearing up when everyone was remembering some of their precious moments... When Layla looked at Sora and the OST started to play... Ouch, my heart. That was a really, really 10/10 episode. Beautiful.
