It is so enjoyable, so funny, so great... so AWESOME!! It's fit for the family, especially to the parents and to the children. This anime, Kaleido Star, has a lot of moral lessons, like 'Never Give Up!'. It is also good for teens and friends because it tells us the power of friendship and teamwork.

Layla was the main character here, so all you Mia and Anna fans will probably be a bit disappointed. I learned quite a bit about Layla in this OAV, from her severe phobia of failure to her hidden past of being a weakling and a crybaby. All this makes me appreciate her already beloved character even more. Sora was her usual happy-go-lucky self, so not much development there. But there was no need to, since Sora did fulfill her purpose as Layla`s pillar of support. All the other characters only had cameos, and somehow (I don`t know why), Ken started wearing those fruity glasses. It makes him look more pimp, I guess.
If you have not watched the original series, stop right here. Don`t even think of watching this.
