----------------------------------------
Ooh, the psychology of this episode was interesting to take in from Tatara's point of view.

He still seems very passionate about his dancing on the stage. Similar to the previous episodes, I like how the details that show their dances. The audience seems to be attracted to their talent too.

Masami's so damn talented too.

I'll probably kill myself knowing that after this season it will take a loooooong while for a new season since they ran out of source material. I kept getting goosebumps throughout the entire episode, very well executed.

So is all this anime original?

Good episode again, it's pretty cool to see Chinatsu and Tatara in full form.
Sengoku calling Tatara to rile him up was great and like how his advice translated directly into what Chinatsu told him later.

Kugimiya's backstory here was great but I started liking Idogawa a lot more after we saw her perspective in Kugimiya's story. Loved the part where she covered for Kugimya's miss and the final part where Kugimiya told her he was happy she was here. :)

Final three dances for our finale, it's gonna be lit.

The next to last episode... I am seriously going to miss this series a lot. Such an exceptionally incredible anime.

Everything in this episode was perfect. I especially loved when Sengoku called Tatara to cheer him on from afar.

Kugimiyas determination and respect for his former teacher are surely impressive.

Next week already the last episode,fuck noooo :'( But it's going to be a blast for sure.

It was very nice of Sengoku to call Tatara and said that he's watching him, but in reality he's not in Japan xD He knows that Tatara is the type that gets excited when someone's watching him. Got to see some backstory for Idogawa. I loved it when she covered for Kugimya and when he said he's happy she was here. One more episode left. Let's see how this ends.

I was looking forward to tatara and chinatsu's heart to heart talk and tatara's manly words and gesture that really touched chinatsu but they skipped it. :(

no they adapted heat 43-45 if the chalter numbering is correct.
next week they're gonna adapt the rest of chapter 45 and this months new chapter which has a big revelation regarding
, and the author is also working with the anime staff to make a draft for the ending, cause the author is ill and has to take many breaks because of it.

I have noticed that the anime has been leaving out all the "shippy" moments so I'm not that confident that they will animate tatara x chinatsu moments from ch 45 and 46. I hope you're right though!

nah, i thought that they left out the romance moments with shizuku, am personally was happy with he development (tatarachinatsu shiper), still i have hope for the chi x tatara ship cause the new chapter more than confirmed it, and they should adapt it next week. also the op of the anime makes me extremely holeful for the last ep (chixtatara centric also the ed)

It was nice of Sengoku to hype up Tatara like that and give him some more motivation.

There was some focus on Idogawa this episode, which was nice since so far she hasn't really provided much to the series. She was always just kind of there for the sole purpose of being Kugimiya's partner, but I'm glad she helped Kugimiya get his shit together.

Well the time has finally come to say goodbye to this show, hopefully our main pair can finish these last three dances strong and send this show off in a great way.

Great episode.
Nice of Sengoku to call up Tatara & give him some advice.
LOL he's not actually there.

The Tatara pair are a joy to watch. Even the audience are amazed.
Kugimiya having a bit of trouble, but he pushes through.

Final ep next week. Can't wait.

There were also some scenes from the manga that were cut, especially that incident where Kugimiya elbowed Tatara in the face and the last phrase Tatara said which was "To me, Chii-chan is".

Oh my gosh, this episode was amazing!

I love how they revealed more about Tatara's illusion and how he's finally realised that heavy weight was Chinatsu becoming an extension of his lead. The plot development for Kugimiya also was paced really well, this is going to be a tug of war between the two pairs - Tatara + Chi chan better win this :)

Start of cour 2 wasn't great but they've really picked things up - easily my fave show of this season.

Idogawa felt left out compared to the rest of the cast, so I'm glad she got some screen time here. I wonder how much makeup Idogawa has to put on to hide all of her freckles...

And yay Sengoku for the save! Viennese Waltz though. Something that the Kugimiya pair excels in while the Fujita pair has little experience with it. One more episode to go, so go for broke!

It's really awesome how well this anime has progressed. At the beginning I remember everybody, including myself, complaining about the non-animated dances, but we now actually get a lot of movements.

Unfortunately, next week will be the last episode

The first two dances of the final was pretty exciting. Tatara and Chinatsu wowed the audience with their lovely performance for the first dance, but Kugimiya and Idogawa was unbeatable for the second dance, the Tango. It was good for Idogawa to help Kuigimiya keep his balance up after he got leg cramp, then afterwards, they both took off like a bullet and left the audience and judges amazed.

Honestly, I'm not sure who will win the finals. Although I want Tatara and Chinatsu to win, I won't have any complains if Kugimiya and Idogawa win overall. Besides, winning the finals would mark an excellent comeback for Kugimiya after his accident two years prior.

Speaking of which, it was nice to see for insight into the past with the focus on Idogawa this time and how she paired up with Kugimiya while juggling college studies and a part-time job. She might call dancing a hobby, but her commitment is remarkable and should not be dismissed at all. =)

Not to forget, seeing Sengoku once again was really nice to see. Although he's still out of Japan with his dance partner, his call gave Tatara a big motivational boost for the finals.

Looking forward to the final episode a lot. =D

The final decision... who's gonna win? I would like if it's the Tatara pair, but it might be the Kugimiya pair ending first place.
Both of them are already winners for coming this far in top two ^^ I wonder who's gonna bring the glorious trophy home? X3

Good thing Sengoku called Fujita at the right time so that he he could get his hopes-up and perform better on the competition!
2nd part was the comeback of Kugimiya in their Tango dance!
looks like next episode will be trouble for Tatara & Chinatsu cuz they didn't know about Viennese Waltz!?

Nice to see Idogawa getting some screen time. The comeback from Kugimiya & Idogawa pair in the Tango dance was great.

Tatara and Chinatsu will be in trouble since they didn't practice the Viennese Waltz. Hope they can pull it off.
