Ginban Kaleidoscope

Hi everyone! This is about an anime I watched called Ginban Kaleidoscope. It's about a teenage girl figure skater named Tazusa Sakurano who wants to go to the Winter Olympics, but has a very bad attitude and a "stone face." When she falls during her performance, she gets possessed by a ghost named Pete Pumps. Pete is a Canadian teenage boy who hates tomatoes (I know it sounds random right now, but the tomatoes thing is actually a big part of the story). Anyway, Pete has to be connected to Tazusa for 100 days before he can go to heaven. Everything Tazusa feels, Pete feels. At first, Pete is a huge burden to Tazusa, but he helps her with her figure skating and they eventually become good friends. Here are some reasons why I like Ginban Kaleidoscope:

1. It's funny. The characters have personalities that always make me smile.
2. It's cute and romantic. This isn't hardcore or anything, but the little romance along the way is so kawaii!
3. The songs. The opening and ending for this anime are sooooooo good!
4. The ice skating. I wasn't really into the sport at the time, but it's so cool when you see them skate that it makes me want to learn.
5. The message. Tazusa tries really hard to get to the Olympics, but she never seems good enough. With perserverence, however, she can do anything!

I can't comment on the manga because I've never actually read it, but the anime is awesome! It's only 12 episodes, so it won't take long to watch. Trust me, Ginban Kaleidoscope is one of the best shows about possessed ice skaters you'll ever see!
