I love the episode, I was almost everytime when Chinatsu appeared fangirling.

Also the new OP is brilliant, we can see all the interaction between Tatara and Chinatsu, but it has a lot of spoilers.

Do you think we're going to have a different ending from the manga? Seeing the opening it looks like is going to catch it.


Yeah, I was screaming everytime she appeared and waiting her to appear any moment, "when are u going to appear Chinatsu??"

I hope they finish the tournament with the manga (I hope it is not anime original, probably the author finishes the arc before the anime or she tells the producers what is going to happen, because I think we won't have to wait for many chapters to know how it is going to end)

Gaju and Tatara in the same school is great!! Really, love their future intercations


Chinatsu, best girl ever! I love her!

Like srs you source readers got to take your stuff off here. This is for anime-only. Why are you ppl discussing anything beyond this episode? I don't care if the opening has spoilers, at least let me figure that out for myself. I don't care about your chinatsu theories, go to the manga discussion section.


report the posts you think contains spoilers then, instead of just whining about it.

Though as far as I can see, no one has really spoiled anything other than saying that the OP has spoilers in it.
Though if you're not a manga reader, you won't get what the spoilers are ;)
The thing non manga readers get from the OP, is that Chinatsu will be Tatara's dance partner. Seeing as that's made very obvious :P

Chizuru + Sengoku = hilarious

Gaju is just too sweet - he doesn't wanna admit he's fond of Tatara

Imagined Chinatsu's hair colour a bit different...like bit more red I guess

I liked the episode a lot, the dancing part was great, Gaju was being cute and Chizuru and Sengoku were super fun.
However I hate the new girl and after everyone was like "best girl finally appears" I felt super disappointed lmao

Aye fresh new start with new characters was good.
Pretty chill episode.

I feel Tatara has become a tad more mature now.

Shizuku was adorable. Screw me for even doubting the best grill in the anime <3
About time we get a glance of Sengoku's skills. Only he has the talent to represent Japan on a world level. And yep, the more I see him, the more I'm reminded of Takamura lol. The only difference is Sengoku has a girl beside him lmao.

I giggled when Chizuru slapped Sengoku and then he fought back lol. And damn that lucky skrub, he's getting smooched by such a gorgeous woman and yet he only cares about breathing .-.

I seriously wanted Tatara to give Chinatsu a big smug when she bumped into him in the hall lol.
Also, her big forehead irritates me. She looks more cuter in manga tbh.

Best girl China-chan finally appears, loveable episode, and from here on, it will only get more lovely and wild!!

My only complain with this episode was the OP, why did they show OP2 already?! The spoiled too much about what is to come, it would have been better if they left it for a bit more of a surprise towards Tata's future partner... it is like they didnt even tried, and just wanted to get it out loud and clear.

Already in love with the new nasty redhead. She's going to be awesome I think. And after being hard on Gaju for a while, I liked his attitude here.

Macho-ona Chizuru was hilarious

We are finally past the first part of the story, now comes my favorite one~ I'm happy they are going to adapt up until they showed in the opening, I feared they were going to stop just before that competition. Now I'm really hyped for this season!
I was never a fan of Shizuru, and while Mako was ok as a side character she can't hold a candle to Chi-chan. Looking forward to Tatara's new adventure with her..he might not though

Nooooo! They changed the OP. That's unacceptable. Lol.

I always thought Tatara's already a high school student. Lmao. And now we have a new character: a tsundere. I'm gonna call her tsundere for now. And Ganju is his school mate. This is gonna be good. At least, nobody's gonna attempt to bully him since Ganju is pretty popular with people for being a scary person. Nice. Nice.

I miss Hyodo so much. ;-;

Shit. Is it just me or Sengoku-san looks hotter than before? Goddamn. That hair. He looks so good with that hairstyle. I'm not okaaaay. I lost my shit when Sengoku-san and Chizuku-san started beating each other. Hahahaha. I ship it. Naaaah jk.

We're seeing more animation of the dances, so that's good.

I honestly prefer the old OP and ED. They made it look like a rom-com with the new OP, especially that ED. Jeez.

Hongou Shizuru! What a woman!
I love the scenes with her, being it with Sengoku or then with Tatara. In general I love strong female characters and she is exactly that. Furthermore despite it, Sengoku doesn't step down and they just fight : hilarious! I loved it!

Chinatsu on the screen. They made her almost as beautiful as in the manga. Good thing.

I'm really looking forward to the second cour a lot more than the first one to be honest.

Much hypocrisy then. :D

Ok, first of all, that girl who sits next to Tatara is very mean :/ But after I saw the new Opening made me think of why she made a bad impression to the rest of the classmates. Probably she's just jealous :P

Ok~! another save for Tatara ^^ , but this time with Gaju?? Didn't see that coming o.o; And the way Gaju beat up those punks who pick on Tatara was very cool :3
...WTH Gaju XD You shout furiously at Tatara just because you saw some changes in your sister? Because she uses a bra? How is it his fault? XDD That was a hilarious moment there :D

oh my! D: No wonder Tatara got scared seeing Sengoku and his partner punching at each other like crazy. What's wrong with you Sengoku?! >_< And the part where she hugs and gives kisses to Tatara was very funny :D

Amazing episode :3

I already knew about the new girl because of people mentioning her in the comments section before, but I didn't expect her to be like this. It is quite hypocritical of her to call Tatara lame for liking dancing and then fangirl over Sengoku (not that I can blame her for that after his performance but still...). We'll see how she and Tatara's relationship develops.

I liked everything else. Gaju and Tatara going to the same school is nice, Sengoku and his partner's relationship is hilarious, and their dancing is amazing. The new op and end are nice although I think the first seasons op is more catchy and I prefer the ending much more.

really glad the anime introduced us to another female dancer who is better suited for Tatara. i didn't want Tatara to continue striving for Shizuku when she already has her sights on someone else. i really hope Chinatsu makes the whole situation less complicated in terms of who likes who, there's no need for love triangles or anything like that. boy oh boy i am so excited for Chinatsu x Tatara development, it seems so refreshing

i also love this new cute friendship between Gaju and Tatara, character foils are always fun :-)

and i like this new OP much more. i skipped the first one each time, just couldn't get into it


(the boob physics in this anime never cease to amaze me. so pointy and perky...)

LOLZ! Everything seems to feel like Season 2! Fujita going to High School and new OP and new ED! Oh MAN! Chinatsu is a bit annoying saying that dance is "lame"...but look she also watched the performance of Sengoku-san! Which is a biit contradicting...maybe her bitch ego or something? lolz
OMG! Gaju is on the same high school with Fujita!
LOL at Gaju, he was dissatisfied because Mako is now wearing bra! bwahahaha!
Looks like Fujita got his spirits down again just watching Sengoku's world level dance!
OMG! Chinatsu bumped with Fujita! and why does it looks like she felt disgusted/revolted with her face expression like that!?!?
5/5!

My goddess has arrived. Best girl coming to eat your hearts. If adapted faithfully, you will know why us, manga readers, came to fully appreciate Chinatsu. She is a flawed character with really excellent character development (and at the same time, develops Tatara's too)!

Chinatsu is currently the main heroine, but you do know that Shizuku is still a massive part of Tatara's character and plays a very active role in his drive to dance in the first place right? I love Chinatsu, but people hype her up waaaay too much.


I don't see how people overhype her?

Shizuku doesn't have her eyes set on anyone. She has her eyes set on dance. They way you typed it makes it seem like she has a thing for Hydoudou. She doesn't. That goes for all the characters. I don't know why this series is tagged as romance in a lot of places when there isn't any romance in it.

I wouldn't say there isn't any romance, it's mostly implied and unrequited; but there are hints here and there. During the first half Tatara does view Shizuku in a way that is different from simple admiration, same goes for Mako. It's not the typical romance of "should I confess or not" or one that is explained to readers through inner monologues; it's mostly drawn expressions and sometimes words, albeit still very vague. I agree that a romance tag is misplaced though.

lol i've only seen Mention of Chinatsu like every other comment didn't realize she was gonna be the Main girl now makes sense everyone else has heir own partner speaking of which that was some good gender equality with Sengoku haha those two were brawling for real

I was thinking that maybe Tatara would dance with Shizuku for a while, but yeah, that would be stupid, since he just started...so in the end all the main dance pairs are together and Tatara is alone...for now.
Sengoku and his partner is so fun to watch! LOL

CHINATSU IS HERE!!! That OP, that sexual tension between them, this was what I was waiting for! :D

Chinatsu may seem like a bitch but she's not at the bitch level that Shizuku is at. If I ship Hyodo x Shizuku, then I fucking ship Chinatsu x Fujita.

I love seeing Gaju again, he's one of my favorite characters. It's nice to know we'll be seeing him since Fujita goes to the same school as him. Gaju is such a siscon, he's worrying about Mako-chan's titties swelling up as she hits puberty but of course he blames Fujita and thinks he fondled dem titties. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Senogoku be pullin' some Junji Ito Spiral shit on the dance floor. LOL at him exchanging punches with his dance partner, Chizuru. Chizuru's hot, thinks Fujita is adorable and gave him kisses and smooshed his face between her titties.

LOOOVE how the ED features BOTH Chinatsu and Fujita. SHIPPED!

This best girl all the manga readers keep going on about seems kind of...mean. But hey, don't worry. I'll take your word for it. She's obviously a main character looking at the OP and ED, so I'm sure my initial impressions of her will change.

Boy do I love Chizuru. She left a great first impression. Hilarious character, and I like how she can deal with Sengoku's usual shit. Bless this show for having these gorgeous older women in it.

Chinatsu called ballroom dancing lame to his face and then got caught being a fangirl LOL.

But it doesn't seem like they'll be getting along too well judging from the OP and ED. This will be fun to watch :)

Oh yeah, In the OP, I really like how they're dancing through the mud and showing clear strain on their faces while doing so. It's a good visual for what's to come, which isn't too surprising, given their opposite personalities.
