That was a super dramaful episode. Leon is insane D:

I really hope Sora x Leon doesn't happen

Sora wasn't psycological prepared for that festival! She really wanted to satisfy Layla but she didn't...
She's too honest, although she had cryed in the middle of the show and felt those feelings... she should have completed the act ... she could win ... whatever --'
I hate May so much... if i was sora i'd smash her face with a really strong punch! :@

Leon looked really insane in those parts near the end. o_o

This show has become so dramatic... It's great, and now I have no idea what's going to happen. XD Unpredictability is good though! Makes it so different.

Layla's kind of bugging me a bit, just 'cause she's so hard on Sora, and even I don't really get what everyone's expecting of Sora. Why should Sora's response that she wouldn't go on stage be something that would hurt May? (Bleh, May's stupid anyway.)

Wonder who Sophie is?

That Angel's maneuver was almost as moving as the Legendary Amazing one. Seeing Sora crying while floating up gracefully was both beautiful and heart wrenching. All of the pressure of becoming a top star and surpassing Layla finally caught up to her. She got so absorbed in this fierce battle for being the best that she was losing sight of what being a part of Kaleido Stage really meant to her. Her dream was distorted into a paling horror where the results were more important than the feelings behind them.

It's a bit of a mixed bag for me because while I do want to see Sora stand up again and become a true Kaleido Star, I also hope that she is able to embody the happiness and joy of her childhood dream instead of having to step on everybody to get there.

Not sure why the other couple felt the need to try the angel manoeuvre when they weren't even close to being able to do it. Not sure why all of Sora's friends showed up either.

Was really expecting Sora to tell Layla that her path won't be Sora's path and that's why she stopped the performance, but she didn't say anything; she only cried. Bit disappointed in that.

Predictable. Of course they would copy their maneuver. Jesus. This arc really shows this is a kid's show.

And Sora will be discouraged... And not be able to do the maneuver the way she wanted to... And lose. And everyone will be disappointed and she'll be sad again. Seriously, I'm so tired of this. I'm writing this at 19:20 because it's so freaking obvious what is going to happen. They've been using the same boring formula since the beginning of the anime. Don't they know this is boring?

And the dead roller-coaster won the premium lmao. Seriously, this is getting dumb. I'm glad this arc has ended. I hope Sora FINALLY chooses what the fuck she wants to do because I honestly can't take it anymore.

What is Sora doin? Sure the festival is very unfriendly place but why is she so affected by that environment? Wasn't everyone at Kaleido Stage unfriendly to her when she first started? And yet she didn't gave up. So why now? What's the difference? Why is she so affected by these strangers that she most likely will never meet again? She experience everyday the same environment when she first started but at Festival, it only took her "one day" to get so affected by her surroundings? I can understand why Layla is upset with her.

No se me hizo tan triste el episodio, como la frase con la que finaliza el avance del capítulo "Mis sueños son las alas que me llevan al cielo", en este contexto.
O sea, el rendirse justo antes del clímax, la decepción de todos, y luego el avance del capítulo que muestra que Sora vuelve a Japón, el nombre del capítulo "La increíble y desalentadora vuelta a casa" y justo después de eso "Mis sueños son las alas que me llevan al cielo", uf. Esa secuencia sí fue triste.

Okay, this is going in a good direction after that horrible scene with Meryl two episodes ago. Hopefully Sora can finally commit to her own dream now.

Yuri doing the intro lol
Mute and Alice making the most out of their screentime by failing was hilarious.
Sora getting a wake up call about completely losing focus of why she even fell in love with being a Kaleido Star at the first place and why she initially could go on and on and on against every challenge she faced at the beginning was good despite how annoying it was to get there xD it was a bit cathartic to see her letting go for now.
