Also they spent a lot of time building Tatara up as this natural with great eyes. Someone who can learn very quickly and absorb techniques. It feels like we are starting all over with nothing he did in the first cour meaning anything and them presenting his competitions prior as luck. Which really throws me off.


Oh you'll enjoy episode (prob around) 16 or 17+

he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I

This sudden change of route with regard to narration, I really liked. Very funny some situations, but also the serious situations, I really liked it. Too bad for the quality of the drawings, really mediocre.

Every time Sengoku is involved, this show becomes so much better.

I'm a bit sad that Tatara has to leave Sengoku's studio, but I can understand it. He needs a full-time coach if he's going to catch up to Kiyoharu and Shizuku.

I don't think Tatara entering this competition when he was advised not to was a very good idea...

2018! When I saw the year it's set in it shouldn't be surprising, but it feels like it's far in the future even though it isn't.
Not getting a big sense of progress so far.

I am seriously concerned about the animation of this anime. From episode 13 I noticed a huge change in both animation and.. pacing perhaps. Personally I love the old cast and they have been left out a bit. I just really hate Chinatsu's personality.

The story on the other hand impressed me and keeps me entertained. I wonder how much they will fail at the Grand Prix. ..mhuhahaha


Chinatsu is far better (as Shizuku and Tatara) in the manga..

I was actually enjoying this anime before reading the manga , now I can only see how poorly animated and drawn it is.. :\
The previous episodes were bearable, but this episode.. oh boy


Welcome to the club of sad fanboys of the manga ! x)

How disappointing, not sure if it is due to the authors sickness but the plot quality has dropped a lot during this cour imo.

Balls greeting was weird! Anyway Sengoku-san was extremely hot in this episode, also I enjoy the fact that Tatara is facing so much on his way to the top and shows us that he s normal character, not some kinda simple genius-protagonist!

Great interesting buildup I have witness from this show so far(Now I am not missing Mako anymore). The most surpirising twist for me that Tatara dared to switch coaching place (The last train part honestly kinda feel sad to see... Sengoku couldn't been Takumura afterall...)
And he already entering the tournament in his current level? I am darn sure I am going to see his sad face once again...

My GAAAWWWDDDDD, an ugly face AND an ugly personality. Gross.
Don't like Kugimiya lmao.

"There are only pretty people at this studio!" UH. ALL EXCEPT FOR ONE.

Hyoudo-kun's so fricken hot. Haven't seen him in awhile and he looks just unf *O*

LMAOOOOO. Sengoku got violated hahahhaha x'D

On another note, maybe Shizuku and Hyoudo's expectations for Fujita is too high.... I don't think he can progress that quickly to meet them on rival footing ;/ and it's giving him so much stress and pressure to catch up quickly. "I won't wait longer than a year," she said. It's kind of unfair towards Fujita. Yeah, he's the main character and all, but that doesn't make him invincible .-. he's a late bloomer. Doesn't have much rn except for his sharp attention to detail...

That guy is a total arrogant asshole and I can understand why Tatara doesn't like his lead. Tatara seems very in tune and sensitive to people's auras and attitudes.

It was cute how Hyodo was trying to dance with Tatara and then pouted when he couldn't lol

I'm starting to dislike Hyodo's mother a little just because of the way she talks to Tatara. He is a beginner who doesn't know how competitions work and the basics of dance completely. She's comes off as sounding very condescending and I hate that.

I think separate practice is good for Tatara and Chi right now, though, because they can get specialized training in the areas they need to work on. I think this is smart.

It's good to see Sengoku and Hongo again ^^

SJDLFJASKDJFLAJ that guy just full on SEXUALLY HARASSED Sengoku JFAKDFIOSWTJSDLKDFJSXVJVN wut the actual FXCK

Wow i honestly can't believe Sengoku lost to that groper :((
And I didn't expect Tatara to leave Sengoku's studio for Hyodo's but I guess it's for the best... an era is over ;-;

OH SHIT a time jump and now Tatara is going to the Grand Prix without letting Marisa know kdjlsfdkjfs good luck to him and Chi
I wish they showed us the training and preparing for the Grand Prix instead of a time jump but I guess to get through everything they want to cover, it's necessary :/

Really?? When I watched ballroom dancing, I always look at the girls, not the leader! I didn't know guy have the important role.

I can't blame him, Sengoku is very sexy hahahah

not a fan of this new rival....his character design is really creepy. i can't tell if he's in his 40's or not, but he looks super old

i also like how Tatara is trying to make dance a cooperative effort instead of how his rival is just swinging his partner around. i didn't realize ballroom dancing only focused on leaders, kinda sad considering both of the people are putting in a lot of effort

It's always sad how Japan likes to present gay dudes as uglysh creepy man with no qualms about engaging in sexual harassment and borderline rape. When is not that they're just bishounen fujobait.

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but whatever.

this as well....


all of this, i've always liked how considerate tatara was to his partners, i didn't realize it would be seen as a negative? seems kinda backwards to me idk. it's hard to judge since i don't actually know all that much about ballroom dancing but based on stuff like this it seems like really traditional sexist roles are baked into its structure

the ball grabbing scene was uncomfortable and unnecessary lol. how is sexual assault funny

i am sad tatara is leaving sengoku, i liked their dynamic a lot. afraid marisa won't be so nice to him she's kinda scary T.T

also yes the new rival is so ugly to look at lmfaooo. his hair is so greasy, he reminds me of some sort of snape x levi hybrid

all we understand today: Fujita has a massive bottom power.

Masami is cool ig, but i don't really like this hyperbolization of characters' personality. it feels kinda cringy...
and i don't get it, is it a big problem if girl is leading in dance?

and we saw Sengoku on the floor again! he is amazing!

vasiliy is gross

Why are there stuff that was not mentioned before such as Sengoku going abroad? It looks like there was a time skip. In some parts, I'm confused to what is happening.
