Synopsis

Tatara Fujita is a shy middle schooler who has no particular plan for the future. He has gotten through life by avoiding any kind of confrontation and blending in with the crowd. But blending in isn't enough to get out of trouble, as some bullies harass him for money. Luckily, he is saved by a man named Kaname Sengoku.

Kaname invites Tatara to his dance studio. Although he would normally never set foot in such a place, Tatara is captivated by Sengoku's commanding presence. Granted an opportunity to dance with fellow classmate Shizuku Hanaoka—who often practices at the studio—Tatara realizes there's something about the idea of being put in the limelight and dancing where people will see him that keeps him coming back. With an earnest, passionate drive to improve, Tatara begins his journey into the world of competitive dance.

i've never heard anyone talk about this work of art, it holds a great plot fitting for the "sport anime" genre, even tho some ppl may not view it as a sport. and if you've ever watched and enjoyed haikyuu, you'd definetly enjoy Ballroom e youkoso. although season 2 did not hit me as hard as the first season did, it's still a show that you'd confortably watch infront of your screen.

loved the artstyle and the main characters developement, surely after he realised that he finally is doing something he enjoys and makes him feel alive.

great watch, would totally recommend for drama, romance and sports ...

Mixed Feelings
Story: 7 - Good

Welcome To The Ballroom portayed the cut-throat nature of competitive dance accurately, while also making something I never cared about, actually interesting to watch. This anime also was surprisingly written like a battle shounen. Main character starts off really bad at something. Main character has a special ability no one else has (For Tatara, he was a natural at dancing, and was a very, very fast learner). The main character has training arcs, battle arcs, and tournament arcs, with character development mixed in between it all. Battle shounen writing is actually unexpectedly fitting for competitive ballroom dancing.

CONTAINS SPOILERS

Visually very appealing and most of the animation is good if not great, especially certain dance sequences. Good OST.
But big disappointment, so deeply sexist in its narrative and messages, even tho it had the potential to subvert so many ideas engrained in our society, and here in sport/dance.
But just didn’t tell anything about gender roles, or sexism, etc‧, just follows the good old status quo, kinda reinforces it even, with straightforward ideas, sometimes deeply problematic ones (misogyny, heteronormativity, the comparison women=beast to tame, etc), +some sexual assault for fun/jokes, oversexualisation, etc
And the characters or their « arcs » didn’t rectify that : loved some ...
