Episode 1 released by Arienai-Conclave

http://arienai.com/bt/torrents...419BF72%5D.mp4.torrent

Sounds to me like Hikaru no Go meets skating...

"Based on a manga with the same name by Kaibara Rei.

Sakurano Azusa is a beautiful and gifted figure skater, but because she is highhanded she is hated by other people, and she cannot display her true ability. One day, she is haunted by a ghost... "

<u>Penguin-fansubs</u>:
"Well, for all those wondering what's going on in our fansubbing scene, we have hit a pretty large delay. Our translator seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth and we haven't got into contact with him lately. So, expect some more slowness with regards to us even beginning to contemplate an Episode 2 release.

Thank ya' kindly.

Episode 4

http://a.scarywater.net/concla...DCB1A58%5D.mp4.torrent

Just watched this episode, I would say that it's the best episode yet...

She skated amazingly... I'm glad to her putting some preasure to the competition...

If this is only 12 episode series, and Pete will only stay with her a couple of weeks... I wonder how far she'll and the anime get...

Episode 5

http://www.arienai.com:1337/to...3e7e26986223936b621774

Bringing up the Ice Rink's (Ginban) forgotten topic...

So, another great series ended...I particularly liked it quite a lot despite its length and low budget animation; I thought it was quite different form your typical romance, sports, and drama genre like Suzuka or Princess Nine...so that for me was a big plus, with the ghost and all. With loveable characters (Sakurano Tazusa been the best, imo), great built up drama, and a bittersweet ending (the kinda of ending I like...) ...you can't go wrong with it...just luv it!

Ginban Kaleidoscope.mp4 (h264-ACC) BATCH 1-12 (complete) by Arienai &amp; Conclave

Like .avi? well C1 is up to episode 8 and KnKF is up to episode 3...you can wait for their releases if you hate .mp4/h264.

I'm diggin through the forums because I just finished this show. I didn't know a thread existed.

Well it is entertaining. Not the best animation/scenario around, but if you're interrested in the subject you'll have a nice time watching it.

I gues that show was created with the real olympic games in mind, and was a kind of pre-heating.
The real world interresting part is that ARAKAWA Shizuka won gold medal in figure skating on that february 23 2006, 4 days before the last message in this thread.... That was a total surprise for Japan for many reasons you'll be able to read in her bio.

I won't tell you how the anime ends, but it's interresting to point the differences, as the anime was finished 3 months before the real event... In fact I don't even know if the scenarist had a real world competitor in mind when creating Tasuza.

By the way, the arienai version is not available anymore as the group stopped activity this summer...

I watched C1 version available here as a batch (the batch isn't available on their site)

[C1]Ginban Kaleidoscope 1-12[Complete]

Have fun watching it!
