They are focusing too much on this 1 dance competition, not worth waiting for a week to watch it, anymore.


Thank you! I get the need to drag out the drama to fill the 24-ep run, but there is no reason this arc should be more than three episodes.

This episode was nice. It showed a little of Shizuku and Gaju dancing skills a little fast, but it wasn't enough to satisfying me.
It still lacks the dancing potential during the competition :( It needs to show more of their dancing skills.

I'm enjoying this anime to be honest, it's just that I'm pointing out the way that they are only showing the dance in slow-motion and doesn't let us see clearly the steps :/

The animation is really begining to fall off. I'm already following the manga, and I started watching this primarily because I wanted to see that A+ Haikyuu animation again, but the viasuals are getting weaker with each episode.

To be honest, I'll probably drop this.

As if the still images weren't enough to begin with, the animation also took a hit downwards this episode. Quite disappointing.

I can't express how frustrated I am with this anime so far =l

There's like no dance animation at all!!!
I'm patiently waiting for 10 episodes and nothing so far .. we can't get 5 seconds of animated dance without they cutting the scene to a shoot of people dancing or making a close in someone's face or without being interrupted by someone thinking about how good is the dance that we aren't watching..
Also they never use the proper songs for more than a couple of seconds.. so many times there's 0 difference between tango, quickstep and the others... i mean, what's the point of a dance anime if they don't dance and if there's no proper music? ><

soooo frustrating... this anime had so much potential =/

It's frustrating how the characters keep saying how amazing some dancers' moves are, yet we never get to see them. Instead we get a bunch of still frames and cameos of random dudes being awed by the MC's dance. I wish I could see what they see but nope, here, have another still shot of someone's face.

This is getting boring really fast :/

Little Mako was so cute!
Shizuku is amazing! So she and Hyodo are more rivals than partners, it must be sad...

god,this competition arc is dragging so much.....i am so over it. I would give it max two episodes.


Exactly how I feel. Seems like it'll finally be over next ep.
IDK it feels like nothing happened in 20 minutes. The flashbacks were ok but by now I'm just tired.

Wow the lack of animation is really bothering me this episode (this wasn't even an issue for me in the last 9 episodes) because the execution (both direction and music) weren't perfect.

That, plus the fact that they were trying to drag out this episode make it worse. I might have dropped the show if this is episode one for sure.

This pacing....it really kills me. I was expecting the Tenpei cup itself to be 3 episode at most, but now this is just dragging speed. 5 episodes (including the next) for 1 competition, Old sports anime memories are surging back.

TL;dr I just want "You-know-who" to finally show up in the anime...goddamit.
What's interesting is that I agree with you, I do feel like I'm getting a bit tired of the Tenpei cup myself, but I find myself uncomfortable with the pacing of Tatara's progression as a dancer, feels like he's too good too fast, but of course that's just my thoughts on it.

Also having not read the manga and accidentally spoiling things for myself, I also await the arrival of who I think you're talking about (also because I feel a level of disdain towards Shizuku)

Nowhere near as bad as an episode as some were saying, even if the art in this episode was pretty bad.

Hate Gaju as much as you'd like be you gotta admit he and Mako-chan were cutie patooties as kids. You just want to hug and kiss him as kid and then strangle him as a teenager.

Gaju be lowkey, sometimes highkey, a siscon. He be blushin' like an idiot saying he's a man when he's actually a pervert in spades.

He's so jelly of Fujita because Fujita made his imouto bloom.

I wonder if Shizuku both likes and hates Fujita, not like as in romance but respects him. At the same time, hates him for firing up Hyodo more than she could. She still loves her husbando, Hyodo.

I like the BGM of this series, it's like a cross between 90s/early 2000s music, game OST, etc.

Solid episode, good to see a portrayal of the gap in experience since at times it feels like he is too good for only just starting.

The plot is holding me on the thorns, who knows what will happen in the next episode to close this arc, I am very curious! How the two Akagi brothers were cute. Even Shizuku, it rocks, wow!

What I dont like about this episode or this series as whole, you dont see many dances. They always explain whats important in a dance (for example Foxtrott this time), but we just see pictures of the dancers. And thats lame! Thats why Yuri on Ice is at least 2 classes above this show.

I mean, i like the characters and the pictures are adorable, but i want to see more animated. How should we, the audience want to see more dancing, or even wanna start dancing when we dont see much dancing?


Im with you on that.. its kinda sad

Im slowly starting to lose excitement.. as a ballroom dancer myself, i was rlly hoping to see strps i regonise and all.. and now only the characters make this anime

the flashback was cute uwu but yeah thats how people get enormous egos and cocky attitudes. I feel bad for Mako that Gaju couldn't see her worth or skill while partners.

oof and then he messes up
SENGOKU LMAOOOO 'WHOA HOW LAME' I-- AHKGDFDSGFDH so sensitive of him
BXCHBCVCBVCXN HE REALLY DECKED HIMSELF I HAVE TO LAUGH XD

I'm glad Shizuku realizes that she really is inconveniencing everyone and disrupting what could've been peaceful practice time for everyone.

Go Tatara and Mako, go!!!

def the weakest episode so far, esp in comparison to the beauty of the last episode. for the first time the still frames/flashbacks actually bothered me. but i feel like this is the exception rather than the norm, i assume it will be back to outstanding soon enough!

although i will admit the pacing on the tenpei stuff is kinda dragging, i wish they had finished it this episode

This is so annoying. The anime doesn't really show the problem or any moves of the dances. It's just all talk and still scenes.

To me it looks like the people working on the anime don't really know anything about dance and are just throwing in dialogue and expects us to imagine what the heck they messed up on, succeeding in and all around just all the dance moves. This is so frustrating. The concept of dance in this anime feels half-assed.

Now I'm getting mad.

I am thinking Tatara is getting less appreciation as he is just a beginner, started dancing for like 3 months while he is competing with the dancers dancing and practicing for 10 years.
