Preliminary (38/50 eps)
While this show is clearly targeted at a younger audience, I think it's a bit more important than just another children's program.
As of the 24th episode, it is actually setting itself up to tackle some real political issues, all explored behind guise of a kiddy show about dancing and friendship.
Furthermore, many of the dance scenes appear to be done entirely in CGI, which is a fascinating step to watch develop in the anime industry, especially as it deals with the intricate movements of dance. Most full length feature films created with computers take years to create, while I'm certain the producers of Tribe Cool Crew are on an incredibly tight schedule, so what they are able to create within that time frame is remarkable, and has improved even over the relatively short period that the show has been airing. Especially impressive is how the animators manage to deal with so many different body types, and even differentiate between different characters even while they dance the same moves.
If not for the plot, which is surprisingly enjoyable albeit not very rigorous, I recommend this show for the potential it has at the time of this review.
If done right, its powerful message may something truly worth the buildup, and getting to witness the growth of complex computer imaging in anime is something truly special.
