----------------------------------------
This episode is pretty tense.

Sengoku seems to be in a bitter mood but still found time to tease Tatara. I think the pressure may be getting to him. I suppose this episode it's more of a transition from the previous round.

Shizuku really knows how to get her point across.

Marisa is gorgeous. I get where Shizuku is coming from, but she just comes off as unnecessarily rude to me.

Tatara struggled a lot in this episode, but he and Mako still advanced to the Finals.

Seeing them dance next episode should be good, let's see how Tatara helps Mako bloom.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Great episode again.

Poor Tatara got worn out, when he cried in Sengoku's arms thinking he should have found his passions for dancing earlier was so emotional, I teared up. :(
Nevertheless props to Tatara for having endured a harsh semi final.

Marisa is such a tease, Sengoku on defense. xD

I loved it when Tenpei coach was talking about how dedication and passions is what makes him loves dancers and about how he saw that in Tatara and Mako. I love how they contrasted that scene with them finding out they cleared the semis and celebrating, they are such an adorable couple.

Shizuku seems so cold.

Soundtrack was great especially during the final scene.
Mako at the end. <3

The preview for next episode looks excellent and i love the title! They better make this extraordinary.

Tatara bursting into tears ;_; He is glad to be a dancer now. All the stamina problems are coming to him, yet he is fully engrossed in dancing.

Mako's ''Make me bloom''- line was great. I can't wait for the next episode.

Simply fantastic, this show just became even better after this episode.

That Tatara, Mako moment at the end was beautiful, can't wait to see when Tatara will let her shine.

And boy, Marisa is easily milf of the year :P

Great episode and really good character development this episode.
It really shows how Tatara still don't have the stamina for all these dance but his love for dancing keep him moving.
Really wish all episodes of this season could come out instantly xD

Never recalled the organizer of the Tenpei Cup being such a perv, hahaha. Dude tried to cop a feel on Marisa and Hyoudo's just sitting there yawning like it's an everyday occurrence.

Tatara's coming off worse for wear because he's a total amateur and doesn't have the stamina to properly last an entire competition. It kinda sucked to see him feeling so upset about not discovering dance earlier, since it really wasn't his fault to begin with. Was great to see how close him and Mako have gotten though, and that will play into the next arc as well. These two lovable dorks trying to take the blame for their flub in the semi's was adorable.

And as for next week... I can't wait to see the look on Gaju's face when..... ah, no spoilers, we'll see next week. XD

Marisa has a nice rack. Her teasing with Sengoku was funny. Tatara was struggling. He was trying to dance for himself and Mako couldn't follow him. I'm glad they managed to make it to the finals. Looking forward for the finals. Let's see how Tatara is going to help Mako bloom.

oh my glob why is this anime so good

One of my favorite episodes since we got a bit of development for everyone- it really broke my heart when Tatara cried about not having discovered dance sooner. I think we've all been there at some point- you discover something you really love but kick yourself over not having found it earlier because there's so much competition out there.

Shizuku seems to be doing what Mako's doing- but in a less roundabout way. She's pretty insecure about Hyodo outdoing her, and I think she wants to see him be bothered about losing her or at least show him what he's missing.

I wanna see Mako shine! It'll be great to see the spotlight on her because she's got a lot of potential, but her docile nature kind of affects her presence on the dance floor.
As she is right now, she's too selfless for someone like Gaju, but it looks like she's changing.

Nice episode.

Sad seeing Tatara crying. He is trying his best. You need a lot of stamina to do this.

Nice to see Kiyoharu give Tatara some advice. Gotta dance with Mako as a team.

Marisa is stunning.

Can't wait to see the finals.

For some reason, I couldn't help but laugh at the drama in this episode. Tatara freaking out that his stamina was failing was just funny for some reason.

That said it was an interesting shift making Shizuka suddenly the person to beat. We'll have to wait to see if Tatara can make Mako "bloom" or not. lol

Definitely a good episode. So in the end it'll be the battle between Shizuku and Mako. Can't wait for the next episode.

I wonder how many people have a "pure" thought when Mako said "Make me bloom" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Again it's the Tatara & Mako scenes the strongest, with good ost. The other Hyodo scenes were interesting too, filling that "flower & frame" analogy.
Stamina sure takes time to build up.

The last few episodes I was really hating on Shizuku. But after this last one I can kind of understand why she's acting that way. She's afraid of being left behind and is trying to set up her future. Even though it comes off as really cold and unfeeling.

I personally think Hyoudou is better off without her, but they've been partners for nine years so I think he's probably thought about the situation thoroughly and he doesn't seem to be the type who would abandon his partner. though, she deserves to be with that jerk Gaju.

Great episode! I love this story and can't wait for next week.

You know what I loved the most about this episode? Sengoku's growth from a callous jerk who couldn't care less and wanted to slack off all the time to a mentor who's actually worried and invested. It was a telling moment how because of Hyodo popping up he'd forgot to do anything about Fujita's exhaustion and how he was cursing himself for his failure, and then how worried he was for Fujita when the boy burst into tears. I didn't like Sengoku at the beginning, and now he's shaping up to be a good mentor.
