Yesterday I started Kaleido Star, and it has a lot of promise. Some of the scenes were ridiculous, like how Sora joined the show without knowing much about the show. It was pretty and cute. That blonde guy and the police officer seem to agree, and it feels as if Sora's cuteness will be a theme. The bullying seemed to end quickly. I hope to see how this show develops.

So far Kaleido Star has been really enjoyable. I enjoy the wide variety of outfits Sora wears because they are cute. The clown outfit in episode 3 charmed me. I am glad Sora is taking Layla's tough love seriously and improving. Seeing Sora's plight from a narrative viewpoint is also satisfying. Episode 4 felt more like an introduction to the show. Sora's team is not horrible right now, but they don't have Sora's personality. The triple illusion was also cool. Episode 5 felt slightly off based on how early in the series it was. I don't know how long Sora has been in America, but it was strange how her father visited her this early in the series. I liked how Sora was serious because it gave the series realness. Episode 6 was my least favorite episode so far because I don't really see the point of a mascot. Why would it be a Seal and not a cat?

6 episodes and it's impossible for Sora to stop fucking up

My favorite part of Sora failing is knowing the other characters will back her up. It's also cute to see her fail or almost fail because it makes the following scenes seem wholesome.

Episode 7 of Kaleido Star taught me Sora has a super persuasive ability for whatever reason. I found it funny how they were talking about getting rid of Rosetta after one boring performance. The reasoning for getting rid of Rosetta made sense, but it was stone-cold for PG 13 show lole. Sora is getting good at entertaining the crowd, and it only makes sense because Sora is a natural-born entertainer. The duel at the end was entertaining too. Episode 8 was weaker because it felt more cliqued and not in a way most shows can counteract. Episodes like this go something along the lines of "Oh no, my dad cares more about work than me T_T. Should I care more about my hobby than my dad?". Kaleido Star in this episode distracted me from this annoying episode type by introducing Layla. What I liked about this episode is that they explained why Layla gets irritable so much of the time, and gave her a backstory that explains what she does. I would be mad if my parents paid people to come to my party. If my parents did that I would be mad for them inviting uncaring normalfags to distract from my peace. There wasn't a happy ending for some reason. I wonder why?

Episode 9 of Kaleido Star wasn't the most memorable, but what stood out to me was how willing the owners were to abuse Sora. Sora abuse is funny I am not going to lie but to what end? Episode 10 is when the show gets really good. Sora as the Little Mermaid is quite funny because she doesn't know what she is doing and somehow lucks her way into winning. Like the last episode when it looked like she was going to fall, but her feet reached the rope magically. It was also funny how they played into Anna's tomboy look. Them changing the little mermaid story was silly, but that is something Sora would do.

Do you guys know any animes/mangas/light novels about the baroque period? Anonymous Mon 29/05/2023 1:49:10 PM 1 year ago No. 143

Specifically looking for something that explores a story about a musician during this time, though I wouldn't mind just a show about the average life during this period. Bonus points if it goes into counterpoint and the common compositional and improvisational techniques of the time

It's hard to say whether the show I am thinking about takes place during the Baroque period, but Versailles no Bara has been on my list for a long time, but I haven't seen it yet. This shoujo series is about Oscar, a girl raised like a boy who eventually became a military commander. Oscar wants to live like other women but has to serve Marie Antoinette like a man would. I want to watch it someday, but for whatever reason have put it off. I am not sure if Rose of Versailles is what you were looking for, but I feel like this show is worth a mention. I would also be interested in an animu/manga that was about a Baroque composer.

Can you talk a bit more about what this manga is about?

he probably would have thought it was shit. when chuck berry heard the ramones he thought it was shit, said it sounded like something you play when you only know 3 chords. nirvana:hendrix are roughly one generation up from chuck berry:ramones so in my opinion he would have thought it was shit, and before he died he was planning on going to music school, everyone knows hendrix but few realize he never truly reached his full potential. it's a cute piece of fan culture minutiae but I don't think it's realistic. nirvana were basically a boy band that were given new guitars by fender every tour just so they could smash them up on stage.

Man, reminds me of when Hendrix before he died was planning on joining Emerson, Lake And Palmer (ELP). It is a common theory that with Hendrix's name the band's acronym would have been "HELP", honestly feel like they could have become the greatest progressive rock band of all time had Hendrix not died. The band sadly suffered from alot of pretention, feel like Jimmy could have helped alleviate that.

This anime is about road bicycle racing. I enjoyed the first season very much.

The main character is your average otaku loner and first-year high school student. He wants to start anime club, but accidentally discovers joy of road cycling and his hidden talent for climbing on a bike. In the process he gains new friends and mentors he can look up to.
Anyway, it's first sports anime that I have watched, and it really sucked me in, I watched first two seasons in around 15 days. I've had always thought that cycling is a boring sport, but this anime changed my mind.

>cycling is a boring sport
Are you stupid? Cycling is literally the best thing ever. You literally can go anywhere. Its more effecent then running, you gain a higher stamina, From racing to exploring to even drifting you can never get bored. I always say hi to the local cats when i bike. Satoru from one punch man is a real fucking hero and what does he do? Ride a fucking bike.

Such is the joy of cycling.
Finally, a real fucking anime. I must watch this. Are there cats in this anime? That is what i need to know before diving in.

this sounds like the thing you'd want to watch if you're already into cycling or want to get into it. Still, it's nice that there's an anime for literally every topic imaginable so you can have something to leverage your actual hobbies with.
