I finally found the first disk today and watched it all. I'm so used to shoujo having low animation budgets that I was really blown away by Kaleido Star. So many cute outfits, too... even if there aren't many yet I'd be caught dead cosplaying. ^_^ I'm definately getting the second disk next week.
My favorite character design so far is Mia, but there's a lot of good ones. I also like how Sora was sensable enough to tie her hair up for the first silly costume. (Yeah, I really go for the costume aspect of shoujo. ;p) Unfortunately the dvd insert seems to have not only spoilers for the first disk, but the description for Yuri has a spoiler not even in the first five episodes! Oh well.
I look forward to sampling the dub soon. With a mostly American cast, the casting better be good!
Kaleido circus reminds me of Circus O'lea (which I know I misspelt). I wonder if the production was at all infuenced by them.
