    Kaleido Star

    you can get it of irc in rizon #kaleidostage they have a bot with all the episodes..

    as for torrents... they dont have any...


    anime-4ever has released up to 18... they may have torrents in www.anime-4ever.org not sure though since this is ADV and they may stay away from torrenting the episodes

    Well, it's been 11 years since I watched the first season of this series... and recently noticed that I never finished it. Time to remedy that I guess. I recall really enjoying the first 26 episodes.

    Anyone around here managed to watch this series? I know Ryllharu has recommended it throughout the years, but who else managed to watch it?

    In any case, this is the version I'm downloading BD rip from joseole99:
    http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=13...ments=139e0758

    And I'm getting the OVAs from here, you can download the series version from there as well if you prefer (you need to register though for the link to work):
    http://hi10anime.com/kaleido-star/ka...0p-dual-audio/

    In any case, this seems to be a very underrated series so hopefully some of you who haven't given it a try take the time to watch it. By the same token, hope my continuation of the series holds up to my memory of it.

    As mentioned, I'm a big fan of it and have watched it start to finish at least twice, maybe three times.

    The original author also wrote Tamayura and did the series composition (though not original work) for ARIA and Ikoku Meiro no Croisee.

    It's a unique series and it's got a very 90s feel to it. Kaleido Star is substantially more action-packed than any of those series. It's basically Behind the Scenes: Cirque du Soleil: The Anime.

    Even with the dated art, it is visually stunning.

    I wouldn't call it underrated so much as under-appreciated. It has very high ratings on AniDB and ANN.


    Dammit Munsu, you're making me rewatch a bunch of series! First Chihayafuru and now I'm sure to watch this again.

    Yes, I guess under-appreciated is the correct way... maybe widely over looked?

    So I'm already at ep 26, the legendary manoeuver.It's an easy watch, quite nice, even if some eps were a little dull.
    Now that the main plot device is over, I wonder what will be the next one

    Layla and Sora's rivalry/friendship is easily one of the best parts of the show. It's different from normal rivalries in anime because of the nice dynamic between strict professionalism (early Layla) and passion (Sora and later Layla).

    It's strange that she's usually right when Sora is screwing up early on, because they can't betray the audience's expectations of a quality show for personal desires.

    Cool. I just finished last night the series I was watching, so I'll get on this next. Will probably watching a few previous episodes to get some of my recollection back.

    The last arc till ep 26 probably is better than mid season. It lacks the joy and freshness of the beggining, but although clearly in fantasy realm regarding body limits, that last spurt feels more grounded.

    Just watched from episode 23-26 to get back into rhythm. Seems like episodes 27-28 are summary episodes of the series so far, so I think I should be good to go with these handful of episodes without missing a beat.
