TOUCHDOWN!!!

<Image>

Challenge is born from opportunity--and opportunity--is born from challenge. The two are interlinked as are the coming into this world [Life] and the leaving of it for potential adventures anew [Death]. The end road of challenge gives birth to opportunity once the challenge has been assessed or overcome. Sometimes such challenges arise in the natural flow of everyday life. Also there is the guiding of free will which may lead our spirits to opportunity to later learn challenge so the essence of that which is unseen does further learn and grow. In my humble opinion, the soul does at times create challenge and guides the challenge that opportunity can bring on a level that is born from an intrinsic desire to further progress and grow. But theory is not physical.

Darling Words. Darling Silence. Darling... WHOA!

A date. A gun. A man who wants to marry. A police squadron. In the daily flow of a typical life one may not expect several portions of existence to meld this way upon the stream of time... but it does happen. Sometimes such circumstances swiftly become negative. At other times... the presence of such circumstances breed positive light. As a bank robber holds up a bank in sunny California--Ken Robbins, Jerry The Policeman [off-duty at the time], Medical Doctor Kate and Sora Naegino are placed under the same circumstance as scores of standing bankers, workers, clients and visitors as the facility is held at gunpoint by a single and desperate bank robber.

Indeed in such situations it is amazing how one man "holding fear" freezes the actions of so many people. The awe of the circumstance is amplified by the inexperienced gun holder's disposition. Simple reasons and a simple psychology sets the tone for a rather complex scene in our story. Although humor is played upon and "sir gunman" is far from a "Smooth Criminal" ...there is great lesson and an awesome parallel of realities that may be missed if seeking variable reason and "If I was there..." forms of thought. The "rock bottom gunman" possess a psychology that seems to be seeking reason or some reminder that life-in-itself is indeed a precious thing. Instead of seeking answer through self-surveillance--he decides to seek by self-un-reliance...


The Void That Sees Not Passion

"Don't forget... I'm a man with a heart of steel." The announcement of this statement comes out almost as a joke coming from a man who whines how unlucky he is. In fact; this facade tends to become the living soul of those who attempt to "break the mold by fitting in." This facade fits those who "want-but-don't-want." Those who "desire-to-be-acceptably-labeled" but "don't-want-a-label." The character of the bank robber in my humble opinion represents a soul that wants... but does not want to be known for wanting. What I personally call this is, "The Void of Indecision."

The insecure robber makes a deal with Sora that if she is able to give him a reason to enjoy life just for a moment--he won't shoot her dead. In my opinion--anytime a person becomes desperate enough to harm others--that person desires to feel there is a side to life they personally may relate to. Through viewing the creation of a thing before his eyes he once himself perceived as "fake" or "impossible" or "plastic..." the once-indecisive robber makes the decision to feel a passion for a potentially better life--in "Five to Seven."

The allegory behind this portion of the story is a river unseen essence. The theme is shared between four very different points of perspective. One we have Ken Robbins who is a living embodiment of "hopefulness" even when things do not gear in his favor. Two, we have two souls that are considering further defining themselves. In this case it is a relationship purpose based in friendship and romance--however could be a "new purpose" found in any syncing of spirits. Third we have the bank robber who is intrinsically looking for reasons he will fail at whatever it is he desires or decides to do because appears to have lost reason to feel passion. Fourth there is the optimistic energy of Sora Naegino who like Ken Robbins remains hopeful... but instead of banking on [pun intended ^_^] idle hope... her character takes action to define reasons to HAVE hope--also defined in some minds as "Trust" or "Faith In Point-Past-Present" known as "Future."

Indeed the parallel of these four intertwined paths have a great deal more of allegorical meaning... but to further explain would go beyond the scope of this portion of my Kaleido Star Dissertation.

Soul-Pass

Indeed through the experiences in this portion--each character seems to grow stronger if not simply more understanding of one another through someone-else. The psychologies of each soul is well presented. Jerry was not always "Mr. Buff-Tough" and Ken finally acknowledges that Sora lives to perform and performs to live. [being the "nice guy" "go-with-the-flow" style of soul that he is]. Doctor Kate comes across as the "Tomboy" style of soul and proves--at least in-part--to be. Sora soaks up attention as "'Mrs.' Showoff" married to her desire to perform and receive applause and the ever-searching-soul of the once-gunman decides [again likely] that great inspiration has come into his life and he is ready to transcend into the ethers at peace. [for now] And May Wong? Continues to try to honestly learn how to smile--her competitive spirit having potentially drained her passion to perform. Viewers? May Take in what is desired. =)

The World Without Sora O.O
(Episode 43 - Mr. Policeman's Amazing Proposal)

Date To Prevent Doom?

In this episode, Ken takes Sora out and does his best to "who~o" her. To me, this is very possibly one of the more accurate outcomes when two personalities of the likes of Ken Robbins and Sora Naegino do indeed cross. Ken is a "homebody" boy who is used to acknowledgement from his family and family friends. Sora Naegino is your atypical assertive "career-focused" woman who does not mind being friendly but is not interested in a relationship beyond shared conversations or a lunch every now-and-then... even if only on a subconscious level [which I believe Fool represents]. "Mr. Policeman" or Jerry the police officer desires to ask his childhood friend to share the same path as his own soul--which is made fairly obvious in the title--but not right off the bat in this exciting part of Kaleido Stage.

One of the strengths of this portion of the story is showing the life-points of much of the Kaleido Stage cast. Although some may sit from the outside-looking in while viewing entertainers or people performing on stage may think, "This is how it consistently stays." This portion of Kaleido Star dares to present the more human aspects of human beings despite career, personality, or social standing. The "rock bottom bank robber" section voices both the curiosity as well as envy of some critical voices found in many crowds or group of viewers. In fact... this portion of the story may touch some in a very negative way--as what is found is a desire to disagree to agree with some of the views of a complaining, criticizing and upset spirit.

However one wishes to view this episode; one thing is clear... it would have likely not have taken place in the manner that it did had it not been for the appearance of Sora Naegino now just-over a year ago.

Who Is Sora Naegino? o.o

Had not Sora arrived at the time that she had, it is likely that this day there would not have been a venture to the bank. Dr. Kate was guiding Sora to the bank to share a lunch. It is also fairly likely that had Jerry spotted Kate speaking to another gentleman--he may have given up completely. It is unlikely Ken, Mia, Anna, Jonathon, Marion or Rosetta would have been present even had a bank robbery taken place--and had the robbery taken place the day and time that it had--it is not likely that the end result would have been a "shared positive experience."

Fore essentially, what allegorically takes place between Sora and the "rock bottom bank robber" is the very same thing that takes place when a person feels down and hears a song that lifts her or his spirits. What takes place when a person feels lost and a passage in a book guides a person to her or his answer [hopefully a very positive one. =] What takes place when a person views an orchestra, a play or an inspirational speaker perform... something is taken away by the spectator that adds further on to her or his intrinsic soul which further guides and further extends purpose. Perhaps had not Sora arrived and the robbery had taken place the robber may have become afraid and turned himself in anyway--feeling empty as ever. Perhaps bitter hatred or a physical confrontation would have taken place and the insecure-and-shaky-robber would have become a murderer in addition to an uncertain criminal... or perhaps himself murdered. But this was not the case.

All people in the Story of Kaleido Star do show--including Sora! And that's all there is to it. ^_^

Let me say first off that I AM NOT AN ACTUAL REGISTERED DOCTOR!

"Dr. Tiger M. Gales" (aka Doctor Kaleido Star!)
is simply like my way of like saying,
"What's up Doc" to a person (like Bugs Bunny =3) or "Dr. Dre" --

Dr. Dre being to this day someone I recognize as great influence on why
I decided on DJing music, creating original tracks, and "making beats"
and why it became important to me! -- later
came my "Prime Mentor" Fatboy Slim! =)

Just Music wouldn't do as a contribution to my now Favorite anime
of all time! So I wrote! A lot A lot A lot! One thing I like is that
Without being excessively sexual or violent (like some anime), Kaleido
anime covers just about EVERY outlet of the Entertainment Industry!

This is but one reason I like it =)
[Read the introduction and full 55 portions of my Kaleido Star Dissertation
to learn the other reasons I honestly absolutely love this series! =)]

"Dissertation" simply means "Thesis" or "Theory."
In otherwords this is simply my own understanding of what I
personally see speaking for me and only for me -- in having seen
the anime "Kaleido Star" in 2010! (initially saw in 2009!
Wrote this Dissertation as kind of an "Episode by Episode"
Review after viewing the series in its entirety a year later!)

Completed it and didn't publish it until now!
Why now?

Kaleido Star is an anime about Love Compassion, Challenge,
persistence, passion, overcoming difficult times and obstacles.

Proudly Born and raised in Albany, Georgia, North America -- U.S.A. --
Today is a day that for many -- embodies all of those things.
My Major! Love [Purpose], Peace, Happiness & Success!

I found ALL in this amazing anime and wanted to share! Wouldn't pass
If I were to submit this to a conventional college (DUH!) So I Simply
just went with my heart and like Nike decided to "Just Do It!" heh. =)

Written over a 4 month period between January and May 2011... This is!
