Ginban Kaleidoscope Series
Tagged under Hiro Suzuhira, Series.
With $10 billion worth of beauty (or so she says), Sakurano Tazusa is a contestant for the selection of the Japanese
representative at the winter Olympics' figure skating competition. However, her ability is questionable in the eyes of
the media and public, as she constantly falls during critical moments in her competitions. During a particular fall, at
the same time, a Canadian teen by the name of Pete Pumps perishes as an accident occurs during an air stunt. Before
being allowed to pass on into the after life, Pete possess' Tazusa supposedly for a hundred days, living on in her body.
Despite the discontent and anger Tazusa faced having her body and privacy invaded by this Canadian ghost, she moves her
focus onto improving herself in hopes to be selected for the Olympics.

Ephemeral-Garden's Ginban Kaleidoscope Tv Review
Rated:
The overall presentation was not really that good, but the ending was touching though, although the actual story did not end there. The story is a little cheesy, and it seems like what we can only see in Ginban Kaleidoscope is Tazusa skating around and firing at the medias. Character development is not strong enough, I mean, from all the previous episodes right up to the later ones, it does not actually look like they have any improvement in their relationship. Plus Tazusa looks like a very defensive girl.
Overall, the presentation is not that interesting and satisfying. I'd choose the 12-episode Kamisama Kazoku over Ginban Kaleidoscope. Well, that is just my opinion on this anime.

The idea was pretty original, and I enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed an afternoon nap.
It's pretty sad, knowing about Pete and watching the ending. Lots of funny moment and the graphic was good, somehow no
one is handsomer than Pete in this series...XD
I watched this anime because of the Pete the Canadian Ghost and must help a certain Ice Skater to pass on the next life or be stuck on Earth without any purpose thus he choose the first option which was easier than done. Sakurano was harder to understand and persuade than any other Ice Skater. The summary was good enough for me to pulled and actually watch the anime, although the anime was a bit of a disappointment since it was too short and the character development wasn't really good. Overall the anime was Good. :D

Interesting romantic story. It's a shame he's not around any more.
The heroine's struggle to make great performance in figure skating always brings smile to my face, especially in the
last episode, it's entertaining. :D
Well, I certainly recommend this anime for those of you who like to have a new kind of sport-romance anime to watch. :D
Fun, sweet story. Pete is adorable. Gets its facts on ice skating right, surprisingly. Cute romance with a ice skating theme. Rather sad ending. Skating routines are fun to watch, but the art and animation is unfortunately bad, very prone to QUALITY and going off-model, which is especially odd for a series made in 2004. Characters are pretty good, not exceptional.
mangaka625 rated 9.25:very realistic and sweet anime. though it would be perfect if the two ended up together, as many ppl complain, i actually don't find the ending that bad, cos it's life and not everything is gonna be perfect. it's cool how the opening scene was actually the end...
