Kaleido Star.
I just finished watching Kaleido Star, and I have to say:
Wow. What an amazing show.
It's still all sinking in, but I am just filled with this sense of happiness and satisfaction.
There are plenty of parts that aren't perfect, and believability is certainly not its strong point. But it forces you to forgive it all, because when everything comes together, it is just so beautiful and heartwarming.
I'm a sap, so lots of shows will make me cry, but I can't remember any other show that has made me cry nearly as much for things that aren't even sad. It just hits me before I realize it. Starts with a little smile, and then . . . release? relief? a surge of warmth and joy? I don't know.
Anyway, you should all watch it. I still have to watch the Extra Stage bonus episode OVA thing, but after that, my DVDs will be available for borrowing. ^_~
Or, you can now get the individual season boxsets from RightStuf for $20 each. Even the complete collection is less than the total I paid back when, I bet, and that's after I waited for each to be on Weekly Special. *mutters* But, if I had waited, I wouldn't have just finished the series, so I guess I can't complain.
Oh, and in case you didn't catch it last time because it was behind a spoiler cut:
Sakurai Takahiro as Leon = TRUE SPINZAKU XD XD XD
