Crunchyroll’s got one of my favorite series now streaming on its service thanks to the partnership with Funimation as the first season of Kaleido Star is now available. The show is in its original Japanese language with English subtitles form and we expect that the second season will be along soon enough. With this show originally being licensed by ADV Films and then rescued by Funimation, availability is limited as it’s open to viewers in the US and Canada only.
Plot concept: When Sora leaves Japan to join the circus family of the Kaleido Stage, it seems like her life long dream is finally coming true. But Sora soon finds out the being a star involves more than gymnastics. First she must get past the circus rivalries that could shatter her dreams, and rigorous training for death-defying shows!
Along the way she finds friends, family and romance, and a home away from home at the Kaleido Stage. Get ready to feast your eyes on the dazzling costumes, the high flying extravagance, and the unrivaled glamour of the Kaleido Stage!
