Kaleido Star

Postby Mangafanatic » Thu Dec 28, 2006 6:28 pm

Thanks to Splitter 2.0 for a fantastic review of Kaleido Star! Everyone, enjoy the review!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Great review, Splitter! I actually just bought the Thinpak for this series, and I've been vastly enjoying it. :D It's nice to have squeaky-clean anime like this one once in a while, and the review for it was very well-written and fitting! Nice work! :thumb:

OK, so when will you people get to my reviews?

You know better than to ask that kind of question, rocklobster, especially on a public thread, and especially in someone else's review thread.

Gypsy and Osaka have busy lives outside of CAA, and even when they're on CAA, they're usually tending to other mod duties. They get to new reviews as they're able.

I doubt that the world will end if your reviews don't get posted, rocklobster. Have some patience.

Yeah, luckily I knew there was a second season, but I don't think it's been released as a thinpak yet. XD So that means I have a bit of time before I need to get a hold of enough money to buy it. XD

sorry, Rogie. Please forgive my impatience.

Okay, I know this is kind of a grave-dig, but who cares.

I enjoyed the series, but I'm worried about buying it because of the whole "tarot-card" issue with Fool. When I saw the series on demand, I simply muted the television. But I'm worried that actually owning the DVDs might present a problem, in the form of my mom getting picky about it or something else...but anyways, those're just my fears and concerns.
