| Good episode. The fighting continues. Good of Kiyoharu to help Tatara out. Nice talk between Mako & Chinatsu. Tokyo Metropolitan Competition next week. Hopefully they don't separate. |

Oh she is just going to get better and better in fact ;D |
 Omg Shizuku's eyes in this scene made me have to replay this scene a few times over it was so well drawn. |

Hyodou's Mom is definitely milf of the season |
 |
| I was happy to see Tatara and Chinatsu working out their problems. I am nervous about the competition but think that maybe things will start looking up since they are seriously trying now. |

Now if only Tatara can grow in that direction too :P |
| I'm very concerned right now as the anime keeps rushing at a very faster pace than the manga. Last thing I heard is that Takeuchi-sensei still has health issues and that the current story arc is still not concluded in the manga due to this. Does the anime studio have a grasp of what the mangaka intends for the anime's conclusion? Also won't this end differently from the manga since the anime will eventually finish first before it's manga counterpart? Because from what I seen, they've cut too much from the original source. |

| Woot! Not a lot of dancing, but plenty of character interactions this episode! Well there's one thing the artists did right: Make the girls look good in the hot springs! And Hyoudou lol, so chill. For the women and men to hear each other from across the wall was really fun! Hyoudou second best man for dragging Chinatsu out of her room XD. The highlight of this episode for me though was the conversation between Tatara and Shizuku. Tatara doesn't necessarily want to win against Shizuku and Hyoudou. He just wants to leave an impression on them. That's very admirable of him. He doesn't aim to be the best, he aims to be seen. That's a rather uncommon motive in sports anime, but it works very well here in Ballroom since Ballroom Dancing is about style and finesse. Let's see how this turns out in the competition. |

| Marisa has one of the hottest milf bodies out there. i'm impressed. =P The tension between Tatara and Chinatsu remains strong, but after having some down-to-earth talks with the others, Tatara with Hyodo, Gaju and Shizuku, and Chinatsu with Mako, the pair seems to be getting their act together, despite their constant bickering still. With the next episode taking place at another dance cmopetition and with Chinatsu's smug friend also dancing, I'm expecting both Tatara and Chinatsu to perform a lot better. I'm hoping they'll win the competition, personally. =) |
| Enjoyable episode, the characters are drawn so detailed. There wasn't any epiphany, but they did resolve the argument mostly. |

God bless that Russian blood.  |
Sigmund05 said: It seems like the director is changing the scenes from the manga in order to put more focus on Tatara and Chinatsu's relationship. I just wish that they do not modify the manga's character development as much. Maybe they are just aiming for one season and they don't see Tatara ever getting together with Shizuku in the story. I wonder too about all that. Shizuku is the "first girl" we saw. Tatara saw Shizuku in underwear. Shonen Rules says MC must end with "first girl" and if underwear --- > marriage and it's a shonen :) I like to laugh about that but it's clear they emphasize the Tatara - Chinatsu relationship (which I love) On another subject, the episode last week was pretty well drawn, I mean I found Chinatsu almost as beautiful as in the manga. Still rooting for Chinatsu becoming someone like her role model Chizuru Hongou, my favourite character actually, even more since the anime. |

| When Chinatsu start to be likeable? At first that series was pretty ok, I really like Mako's arc, that final dance with all these roses was so pretty! But then Chinatsu joined with all these annoying and forced drama and right now is really hard to keep with these series. |
| Funny and well-designed episode. Also important because of what happens to Tatara and Chinatsu. I loved the comedy view in the narration. P.S. Marisa = MILF confirmed. XD |
 |
| Between Episode 16 and 17, in the manga we got an Omake about "How Leaders and Partners would work if they were genderswapped" |
 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
| I really like this anime but I have the impression that its too much rushed, so I think Im gonna switch to manga soon. Feel like Im missing too much from the manga in the anime ^^' |
| The anime is definitely aiming for an anime original ending, that's for sure. |
| きみ は だれ だい？ ぼく は ラムボ！ ぼく は だれ だい？ きみ は ラムボ！ ラムボ なんでし！ |
| Tatara and Chinatsu need to connect physically in a whole different way if you know what I mean. After that, dancing will be a breeze. Marisa is quite the sexy lady. Puts the hot young ones to shame with that 'nais body' of hers. |

| Nice to see an episode with more interaction between characters (especially the dialogue between Mako and Chinatsu). In the end, she and Tatara didn't solve the problem in itself but now they are in the same page. It was really helpful of Hyodo, Shizuku and Mako in giving them a push in the right direction. P.S.: I hope the studio puts the same effort into the panels/drawings for the next competition as much as they did with Marisa-sensei ones (DAAAAAAAAAMN). |
| If there's one thing this show has going for it it's the drama. I like it. They're gradually maturing, and I kind of ship them pretty hard.. lowkey. But then that scene with Tatara and Shizuku is a wild card. It warmed my heart to know that Tatara left an impression on Shizuku just as much she did on him. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| the fanservice in the thermal bath was nice!!! kekeke Well, the couple i think is ready for this new competition, but i think they will not win it!!!! |
| Doesn't seem like Tatara and Chinatsu are fully in sync yet, so I'm really looking forward to watching how those two improve as the competition goes on. |
| Shizuku is such a booring girl. If tatare ends up with her i will vomit :/ |
| Really excited to see how much they will improve their dance during this competition :D |

| Cannot stand Chinatsu. She needs a good smack across the face for acting like such a little shit. No wonder she's never been able to get a partner given her garbage personality. Tatara needs to man up too, though his scene with Shizuku was nice. Even though she's kind of taken a back seat this arc, she's still a very important person for Tatara. Can't wait until they pair up again since it's being strongly hinted. |
| I really need the ost at the end of the episode, its so good. |
| The more the two fight the worse it gets. But there's some development here with the help of Coach Marisa, Kyoharu, Gaju, Mako & Shizuku! Most of the episode is chaos between Tatara & Chinatsu! Mako so adorable this episode! Fujita should be happy because he got to train with Shizuku just for a short moment! 5/5. |
 |
| No Hyodo doing the naked cucaracha at the onsen :'( |
| A " bit" of fanservice of Marisa's russian blood! In the end Mako was the one to help Chi-chan! |
 |
| i enjoyed the manga but i don't know how because now i watch the anime which seems to be rather faithful and i all i can think is how shit all the characters are lol the animation is dogshit at times too and shows a lot of budget saving |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| This arc is probably my favourite so far. Watching all the characters interact and bounce of each other is a lot of fun. I think this show is at its best when it mixes in little slice of life moments with the dancing. The serious competition arcs (i.e. the majority of the show) are fine but its more interesting watching how the character relationships develop in a laid back setting. Not to say that I want the slice of life moments to overtake the dancing, but a better balance of both would be welcome. Definitely want more arcs like this. |

| As a manga reader it's a bit frustrating to see how Tatara is being eliminated as a person (as it's in the manga) to reduce everything to a kind of pseudo-romance that doesn't exist in the first place, speaking of those who support Fujita and Chinatsu as a couple, of course, who are obviously the staff's favorites. I don't understand the need to delete and/or modify the scenes of and with Shizuku (yes, they did before too) when in fact they are an important part of Tatara and his "development" as a character throughout the story. She's an emotional support as Sengoku is for Tatara, only that this has the sympathy of many of the writers while the first apparently not. The differences between the anime and manga are enormous at the level of dialogue and representation. (Meeting of Tatara and Shizuku in the manga).  Just enough to see the panels to realize the intention and the impact of the moment, at least for Tatara. And later also has an explanation, which was completely ignored to continue stagnating with Chinatsu. (Conversation between Tatara and Shizuku).  There are scenes that really contribute more to Tatara as a character than any tantrum that Chinatsu does at the moment. Apart from the fact that many other scenes of Kiyoharu have been thrown on the floor, very funny and that give a lot of charm to his character, like the infamous scene of him dancing the Cucaracha, which bothered many fangirls, eliminating the protagonist's development so suddenly it does feel him very empty, especially applying to Tatara, who is not a very interesting main character.   The people working behind this project are not so excited about doing this project. |

Not really. Maybe you should read the manga again. He still has a crush on her. It was literally shown in the training camp arc right before the current arc began. And the first few pages of the very first chapter should tell you exactly who his endgame partner is going to be. |
| Hmm, I was reading comments and yes. I read the manga too, and like others, I was disappointed with the scenes that was left out. Shizuku indeed have her role for Tatara developing, but we can say the same thing for Chinatsu.I think that only she can make him "grow" to a good leader, because she's wild and push him hard. For the endgame partner I still can't see him with Shizuku and i doubt that will happen, but probably it's too soon for that. But for now, I'm 100% sure that Tatara and Chinatsu couple is the thing they need for themselves. /and they are cute together/ |

| After bath scene, I seriously wondering why there still are not any doujins from this series. It's such a shame. Marisa-sensei is sooo hot. This woman deserve for a lot of doujins. Best milf in this year. Beside that it's seems that Chinatsu and Tatara will move forward - finally. It's starts somehow slightly bored and annoyed me. |

| At least the thing that strings Fujita and Chinatsu together is how Chinatsu knows she's such a great big pain to deal with, but Fujita never gives up on her as his partner. It's really nice how they complement each other in that aspect :') Good luck to both of their progress. They might end up like Sengoku and Hongo lmao. Always arguing and hitting each other, but dancing so well and fluid and the best in all of Japan together regardless ;P |
