I wonder why they waited 7 months to tell her about the pregnancy.

I think that if Sora had asked her, Layla would have joined their new troupe too. and they probably could have lived in her mansion rent free. and with Layla on board, they probably could have gotten the other 6 remaining members too. not to mention the increased credibility with potential sponsors.

I feel bad for Sora even though the baby is alright. I'd feel just as guilty. T_T

That's... a really good point. Usually you'd tell someone as soon as you found out - which could be, I don't know, when you're a month or two months pregnant? Why did they wait so long... I wonder if they didn't want Sora to worry or lose her focus on achieving her dream at Kaleido Stage or something?

I was wondering that too! Especially since, in the last show, we could see that Layla had accepted Sora as a co-star, pretty much, and even was thinking that she was afraid to lose a partner who continuously challenged her to be better and to do her best. If Layla let them live in her mansion, she'd have her "co-star" right there! [Plus Sora, Anna, and Mia would have access to all that training equipment that Layla has.]

They might have waited to tell her until they were very sure it was going to be a safe pregnancy. If they haven't been able to have a child until now, they may have been afraid of a miscarriage. I wonder if it's something to do with Japanese culture to wait until later to tell people about a pregnancy?

Emotional episode. The voice acting was spot on. (I'm watching it dubbed) Not that I don't think that it's always good, it's just that this episode really letter Sora's VA shine.

They probably didn't tell Sora because they had trouble conceiving for years and may have suffered numerous miscarriages too. They waited until seven months because now it was more likely to actually be born.

a filler! but nevertheless good familial ties ep :)

i love the new op and ed btw. i skipped both of the old ones but now i can't bear to skip either xD though the new ed really sounds like one of a shounen series instead of a shoujo!

love that this show doesn't pull any hammy tricks, like yuri suddenly repenting and forgiving kalos, and that the kaleido stage is actually finished. i shouldn't have expected anything less with yoshida in charge of series composition

Family relationships! My only weakness!
I didn't like the Anna episode, but this one actually made me cry. They are such a nice family. "Yume". That's so Sora-like. It felt a bit of an egoistic name, focused on Sora - I'd prefer if she'd make something related to the baby, how she was struggling or how strong she was or something. Nevertheless, pretty good episode.

Midori had green visions in that moment, huh. Nice play on her name.

First the dad, now dad and mom, next time might be dad, mom and sister ask me to come back to Japan xD
It was nice but I found funny they let Sora name her sister.
