Spotlight Anime: Kaleido Star



MAL Anime Information Page: Kaleido Star


MAL Score � 8.14 (by 11265 users)
Ranked - #334
Popularity - #737

For the next week I would like to have a discussion about the anime that focuses on the key elements that we here on MAL use to critically rate an anime: Animation, Sound, Characters, Story, and Enjoyment.

I would like everyone to approach this thread as if you were going to write a review and structure your initial post like this:


Animation - insert rating
Sound - insert rating
Characters - insert rating
Story - insert rating
Enjoyment - insert rating

Animation - discuss any pros and cons of the animation styling used in the series, try to include some specifics.

Sound - describe any of the things you liked or didn't care for in regards to the music and sound effects used in the series

etc...



If you are having trouble writing up a review or coming up with specific pros and cons, please don't worry. Just do the best you can with it and if you can only write two or three sentences about any of the 5 elements then that's OK. Not everyone here is currently at a level which will allow them to articulate their thoughts and opinions.

After your initial post is made you can feel free to civilly discuss issues of contention. I am sure there will be many opinions expressed here that some of us will disagree upon and criticise and it is for that reason that this entire club exists. So I hope everyone has fun and I am really looking forward to watching this discussion unfold.



*Due to voting rule changes, this series is available for nomination again.

And here I go.

Kaleido Star was one of the anime I watched when I was first getting into downloading anime. It aired on tv with a brazilian dub, but I watched it on my computer anyway. The experience was great. I found the anime very complete, in terms of character characterization and development and art. The setting is absolutely original, even though we have to accept that the circus gimmicks are wrong for the most part and some of their stunts are impossible in reality. However the anime makes us believe they are possible, and that's its charm.

It was an anime that made me dream and I'd recommend it to anyone.
