to be quite honest, when i first started watching this anime i really wasn't into it, but now i'm really enjoying it. i especially feel like the second half of this anime will be great, now that Chinatsu is introduced (wish she was less of a tsundere though...although, i'm not quite sure if she's a tsundere. her character is all over the place). i'm glad they made it 24 episodes instead of the usual 12-13 episodes. honestly, they can probably even pull off a second season. sports anime are pretty easy to drag out


also Hongo is completely adorable

I think I just started hating Sengoku... That son of a bitch is way too lucky to have a partner such as Hongou XDDD just kidding, they really make a great couple ^^

Chinatsu is kind of hard to read for now. Interesting character ^^ Im looking forward to see where this is going.

shown how useless his so called trainer is..

Because Sengoku is actually a BAD teacher. He's the type that gives you the answer but doesn't teach you how to get to the answer.

Didn't you notice how all of his coaching was just "Do this specific thing to win".

Hmm, I'm still curious as to why Chinatsu stopped dancing and didn't want to continue at first. She's clearly experienced; I guess something happened in the past that made her start calling it "lame." Looking forward to see her chemistry develop with Tatara. Hopefully he doesn't stay as the follow for too long lol, but Chinatsu's aggressiveness is a nice change of pace.

Love her.

Banba Karen turned into Demi Moore all of a sudden with that fucking hot body, she looks gorgeous! D: I bet Jinbo is hating himself now lol

I love the banter and tension between Chinatsu and Fujita, they're definitely my second OTP. First OTP is Hyodo x Shizuku, second is Chinatsu and Fujita and of course, one OTP that I am sure many people are hoping for are JINBO x BANBA KAREN!

Chinatsu so cute crushing and blushing over Chizuru, she's fawking hot too so I understand.

Chizuru and Fujita look like they were dabbing.

Chinatsu looked so cool leading Fujita.

I never thought this series would fall into the same writing style as action anime in the fact that as soon as one arch ends, they would reset the main character into a no talent green horn, who now has to start from square one again, completely forgetting the fact that one episode prier took a partner he had very little time with and placed in the finals in his first comp. I just dropped this anime because I was hoping that this one would turn out different but alas I was wrong. I might come back to it much later just to see what they did, if I remember to.
You do realize that Tatara sucks and he was at a no name competition and Mako carried their team. Tatara is aiming to be a pro so that is not the way to do it.


Not only that, he's no longer at zero. He knows the basics, and he can dance. IN the previous episode he recognizes his flaws in the competition. If only it sets up for his further improvement, not restarting him.

Honestly, not really about chi-chan yet. I'm sure she will grow on me though. When she was so good at the lead I thought she was a trap for a second, XD. Had to remind myself its not that kind of anime.

Says not to talk to her but then talks to him the next day. Says she doesn't want to dance, but then dances with him the next day. Her personality is the same way. She's like ice and fire, and I love it :)

I didn't think we would get as good or even better female characters after Shizuku and Mako, but wow, Hongou and especially Chinatsu have been great characters so far!

An awesome new OP from USG, their songs are always so catchy!

Apparently, from what I've seen in the forums, something happens in a certain chapter that completely changed the opinion of everyone regarding Chinatsu, I'm curious to see what it is.

A good episode in which the character of Chinatsu immediately breaches in my heart is difficult to miss his character so well-characterized. The comedy in the whole narrative is good, apart from Chinatsu, even the character of Hongo it rocks.

Seems likes Chinatsu used to dance as a kid and since she is good at leading, she probably used to lead as a kid since at that age gender does not matter much.

No wonder she has dominant qualities.

Lol you can call me chi-chan if you want

Hmm shes an odd one that new girl, but might like her later on. She sure looks pretty and cute when shes all flustered and shy.
And now both are beginners, might go better with tatara-kun. But she sure has an attitude, but as a leader shes good.

Hongo looks hot with her hair like that :D

Chinatsu is so interesting. She is a tsundere, she loves Hongo, is a great lead. You never know how she will react. She refuses to be a dance practice partner at first but then willingly goes with Tatara even though he didn't even ask properly.

It was interesting to them switch positions, too. It's like Hongo and Sengoku could tell that their dancing would work better if Chinatsu was leading and Tatara was following. I wonder what Sengoku meant when he said to Chinatsu that she isn't used to following, even though she's a girl.

Tatara continues to amaze everyone, including me, with how great he is a picking up on things and going with the flow without knowing certain steps. I guess that's just how powerful Chi's lead was.

I wonder how this couple will work.
