The February 2017 issue of Monthly Shounen magazine, which goes on sale on January 6, 2017, will announce that manga Ballroom e Youkoso (Welcome to the Ballroom) will receive an anime adaptation.

Synopsis
Fujita has drifted through middle school aimlessly, unable to find friends or anything that can hold his attention. Then, one day, he's attacked by a gang and saved by a mysterious man. But this isn't a karate master; it's a ballroom dance instructor! Reluctantly, Fujita takes a few beginner's classes, only to find his inspiration... an entrancing, teenage dance prodigy named Shizuku. It's Fujita's first step into the high-octane world of competitive dance! (Source: Kodansha Comics USA)

Ballroom e Youkoso is drawn by Tomo Takuchi and began publishing in Monthly Shonen Magazine in November 2011. Kodansha published eight volumes as of October 2015. The series was nominated for the 6th and 8th Manga Taisho Awards in 2013 and 2015, and placed ninth in the male readers category in 2013 edition of "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" Kodansha Comics USA released the second volume in English in November of this year.

so much hype, even if they completely butcher the story (kinda hard to do it's very straight forward) the animation alone would probably be worth the watch

Yep. Was about to post it here:

Staff

Director : Yoshimi Itazu
Character Design : Takahiro Kishida
Screenplay : Kenichi Suemitsu
Music : Yuuki Hayashi
Studio : Production I.G


Really great news. I.G is my favorite studio right now and they're really consistent in their animation quality so this kinda get my hopes up. Plus the music is done by Hayashi Yuuki so this is pretty high up on my radar for the Summer season.
How is Production I.Going to handle This, Legend of the Galactic Heroes remake,Kuroko no Basket Movie, FlCL 2 and 3, Atom and MAYBE Pre/Early-Production for Haikyuu 4?

Production IG is a big studio. They can handle it.

Dec 29, 2016 11:41 AM by Z4K

PRODUCTION I.G.? YES!

I haven't read the manga though I've heard about it for a while, mostly good things. Seems interesting enough.

Gonna be animated by I.G now? This must be good.
But I don't like ballroom at all. if only it's hip hop.
Maybe I'll watch if it's like 3 gatsu no Lion (shogi), that it's just the theme.

Dec 29, 2016 7:18 AM by Rayzer

Looking good, fam. Gonna give it a shot for sure.

Dec 29, 2016 6:24 AM by Wintovisky

Looking forward to this. I'm sure the animation will look beautiful.
I'll try catching up and buying the english published manga. ^^
