First off...I LOVE THIS ANIME!!!
I started watching this because one of my friends recommended it to me saying that i remind her of the main character. Because of that i just had to see it and i'm glad i did.
For me this show gives alot of inspiration because it is about following your dreams and giving it your all. This show personally relates to me because i am a dancer and i dipped a little into the acrobatic world for some time using the trapeze but gave it up for dance and the main character gives up her life in her home country to become
...
the greatest star of the Kaleido stage.
The show is very realistic and nothing is really far fetched like most people say it is. In the showbiz world you are either in or out and you can't complain because there is always someone on the sidelines waiting to take your job as you will see during the second season. It's hard work and sometimes it can overwhelm you with emotion and instability; There is real rivalry, Jealousy and pure hatred that is betrayed in this show. Despite all of this, the main character Sora never gives up and always works hard to make friends with everyone and Make the stage into a peaceful place where all competitors and rivals alike come together to give the audience a great experience and to shine brightly together.
The art and sound were perfectly matched for this show with all the bright colors and joyful music that really matched what it would be like at cirque de soleil.
I think the characters and their personalities were perfect and matched the story very well even though i would have love to see more of Yuri to be honest.
Another thing that i want to address was that some were upset because this type of show should have had more romance.
The creator of this show really captured the essence of the stage and knew just enough about the love life that goes behind it. fact is, Alot of very serious performers don't date or "fall in love" easily because they are more focused on their work. of course there will always be romantic encounters and awkward moments but sometimes that generally it.
I'm not saying it's always like that but think about it, when you are focused on something and you don't want any distractions, why risk the possible drama and agitation a relationship can bring and possibly affect your performance. that's what goes through alot of entertainers minds when it comes to that stuff. Some just might be so immersed in what they are doing they are oblivious like Kaho from La Corda, or they know about it and do date but keep it to a certain level.
All the aspects of the stage were carefully taken into thought and were devised well to make this show like real life in a cartoon.
I think every performer should watch this show, whether it be an acrobat, dancer, gymnast, ice skater or singer, it will spark a little light in your heart giving you the inspiration to keep going.
Everytime you step on that stage, there will always be a little of Kaleido spirit in you.
