Kaleido Star Series
Sora Naegino is dreaming of becoming a member of the Kaleido Stage since
she watched "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" at Kaleido Stage with her parents.
One day she starts her journey
from Japan to America, however when she arrives in America her suitcase is stolen. But with Sora's awesome athletic
skills she soon catches the thief and a kind policeman drives her to Kaleido Stage. Although the casting is already
finished she manages to be accepted by Kalos Eido, the owner of the Kaleido
Stage, and is now finally a member of the crew.
On her first day of training, only by a misunderstanding, she
challenges Layla Hamilton, the top star of Kaleido Stage. Now Sora has
to master Layla's "Golden Phoenix" in only a few days. If she fails she has to immediately leave Kaleido Stage, but if
she succeeds Layla will accept her and Sora can finally fulfill her dream to be the true Kaleido Star.

Ladholyman's Kaleido Star Ova Review
Rated:
Layla was the main character here, so all you Mia and Anna fans will probably be a bit disappointed. I learned
quite a bit about Layla in this OAV, from her severe phobia of failure to her hidden past of being a weakling and a
crybaby. All this makes me appreciate her already beloved character even more. Sora was her usual happy-go-lucky self,
so not much development there. But there was no need to, since Sora did fulfill her purpose as Layla`s pillar of
support. All the other characters only had cameos, and somehow (I don`t know why), Ken started wearing those fruity
glasses. It makes him look more pimp, I guess.
If you have not watched the original series, stop right here. Don`t even think of watching this.

A solid anime series that I wholeheartedly recommend to shoujo fans and not only. Unlike other shows, the cuteness in this doesn't get in the way of the plot and things progress quite nicely. The characters have depth and the performances are simply mesmerizing (though they could've gone easier on the slow-mo). Some episodes may feel drawn out, but the payoff is more than worth it.
SnickerdoodleNinja rated 8.00:This show was so much fun! It was colorful with good characters. The second season got a little too sappy and anti-competition for my taste at times, but was still good, just not as much so as the first season.
evilxangel rated 8.00:I start sawing it when I was a little girl I use to love it so much!I wished I saw the end back at those times it would had meant a lot more than now but I loved every single part of it and the OVA's too!Hope they do a season 2 with Soras little sister as the main character!
Nixxi rated 8.75:It was a wonderful ending to a nice anime, though not always suspenseful or entertaining, I did enjoy much of their techniques and shows! I liked how they showed many classical stories such as Cinderella and Romeo and Juliet in their performances. Sora's determination for a carefree stage just made me want to root for her and the rest of the cast was just as determined (but also hilarious!). Kaleido Star is like a nice break from those high suspense and action animes and I absolutely loved it! :9
kitineitor rated 9.25:I just finish to watch it today, including the extra chapter where Rosetta performance her own main character. It is incredibly how emotive this anime can be. Probably it can be too sweet for many people, but if you like circuses this one is a must.
