Line 7:
[[Break the Cutie|But it won't]] [[Training from Hell|be easy]]. After an incident involving the theft of her luggage, Sora arrives late to the audition and is told to go back home and wait for the next round -- a year later. However, when a performer is unexpectedly hurt, the owner [[Stern Teacher|Kalos Eidos]] tells [[The Fool|Sora]] to cover for her. Main Kaleido Stage star [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Layla Hamilton]] wonders if Sora is ''really'' cut out for it and challenges her to either perform Layla's trademark move, the Golden Phoenix, or go back home; Sora trains hard with the help of two other recruits ([[Bifauxnen|Anna Heart]] and [[Badass Bookworm|Mia Guillem]]) and the company's stage manager ([[Non-Action Guy|Kenneth "Ken" Robbins]]), and though she doesn't fully accomplish it, [[Plucky Girl|her determination]] convinces Layla to let her stay. Ever since then, Sora has to struggle extra hard to fulfill her dream: to become the Top Star of the Stage...
'''''Kaleido Star''''' (カレイドスター, ''Kareido Sutāa'') is an anime series co-produced by Japanese studio Gonzo Digimation Holding, Korean studio G&G Entertainment, and American distributor [[ADV Films]]. The series was created by [[Junichi Sato]], who also directed the first season, and written by Reiko Yoshida. The second season, ''Kaleido Star: New Wings'', was directed by Yoshimasa Hiraike. Famed Japanese circus performer and Cirque du Soleil veteran Dio Kobayashi was a special adviser to the production; a character within the show was named "Dio" in his honor.
In short, take the [[Frills of Justice|sparkly costumes]] and [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|cheery optimism]] of a [[Magical Girl]] series, remove a good part of the magic except for the [[Fairy Companion]] and have ''everyone'' try to [[Break the Cutie|break the spirit of the main character]] at some point and to different degrees. That's ''Kaleido Star''.
