| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode is out on Amazon Strike. Damn, this was tough to watch. Tatara and Chinatsu really have some problems with each other and that is not good for them. Funny thing is, the unlikely person to step in is actually Hyodo as a middleman. A lot of emotions and a lot of fan service this episode lol (thanks to baths). |

| Naked Marisa-sensei was just too much for me... what a goddess. |
 |
| Great episode. I'm glad they cleared up the spite between Tatara and Chinatsu. Even if they still fight, they've gotten better as a team and that's good. Was real nice of Shizuku and Hyoudou help out the duo with all those exercises which I actually found quite interesting. The bath scene was absolute gold, so much win there. <3 Mako still holds best girl title. XD Loved the conversation between Shizuku and Tatara this episode especially when Tatara talked about how he wanted his dance to leave an impression on people. Competition next episode, hype! |
 |
| Did Tatara answer that question? I NEED TO KNOW! |
| Into the Internet! |
| I hope Tatara pairs up with Shizuku one day. They seem to have good chemistry together. And where is old Sengoku. Miss that big oaf already. |
| They changed the bath scene. 1/10 dropped. |
| I’m amazed that they drew the rib cage, bone structure and muscles. Maybe the long necks seem weird because they are drawing them to proportion and proper posture? |

| Marisa looked gorgeous in the bath scene. Things have cleared up between Tatara and Chinatsu. They still fight sometimes, but they have gotten better as a pair. It was nice of Shizuku and Hyoudou to help them out with different exercises. I loved it when Tatara told Shizuku how he wanted his dance to leave an impression on her and Hyoudou. Looking forward for the competition next episode. |

| more character development...I kinda love these episodes more and more |

| I CANT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. I FEEL AMAZING. YEFGHUIKDGN ALSO HYODO IN THE HOT SPRINGS OH MY GOD |
Sigmund05 said: It seems like the director is changing the scenes from the manga in order to put more focus on Tatara and Chinatsu's relationship. They have omitted the "impact" moments between Tatara and Shizuku on the anime, thereby lessening their actual connection. For example, the scene where Shizuku comes out of the vacation house wearing the nice dress, (On the manga) Tatara cried (unconsciously) when he saw her because she thought that she was beautiful and that he could not reach her level. They skipped on this moment on the anime. (from previous episode) Another scene during this episode is when Tatara told Shizuku that he wants to make an impression. On the manga he said "I want to impress you", to Shizuku, specifically, as if he was boldly proposing to her (he surprises people a lot of the time). They changed the script to say that he wanted to impress both her and Kiyoharu in the Anime. So it did not have as much impact when Shizuku said that Tatara is a "Mystery" to her. I just wish that they do not modify the manga's character development as much. Maybe they are just aiming for one season and they don't see Tatara ever getting together with Shizuku in the story. Does Shizuku really have that type of relationship towards Tatrara. I kinda felt Tatrara had a crush on her when he first started off, but now it's more of an admiration than something romantic. Also wouldn't that be a manga spoiler.......... please respond with a spoiler tag for relationships down the road. I don't know. I just see the current pairings perfect the way they are now. |
| They're omitting too much from the manga that I can't help but agree to those complaining it feels a bit rushed. Dropping this. I'm sticking with the manga. |
| These two are slowly getting there. Another great episode. Can't wait for the next one. It should be good. |
  |
| Great episode once again. Really loved the tension between Chinatsu and Tatara, as well as their conversations with the girls. After all they went through now I'm pretty it sure it will be damn satisfying to see both of them succeed at the competition. Also Sports anime are gay, 110% confirmed....( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Thankfully Chinatsu and Tatara overcame their dilemma, sure they still seem to be fighting, but at least they're able to handle it more maturely than before. The competition should be fun to watch. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Yay the bath scene. As I thought they censored Hyodou's naked dance lol. Someone got jelous about Mako's remark  Next week we are back to competitions, this one will be fun to watch. |
| The way Tatara and Chinatsu are constantly fighting, they may become the next Sengoku and Chizuru. Looking forward to the competition. |
 |
| That bath scene with Marisa was too much for me... Nazis were wrong, the true superior genes are russian ᶘ○་།○ᶅ |
 |
| Good episode. The fighting continues. Good of Kiyoharu to help Tatara out. Nice talk between Mako & Chinatsu. Tokyo Metropolitan Competition next week. Hopefully they don't separate. |

 Omg Shizuku's eyes in this scene made me have to replay this scene a few times over it was so well drawn. |
 |
Hyodou's Mom is definitely milf of the season |
 |
| I was happy to see Tatara and Chinatsu working out their problems. I am nervous about the competition but think that maybe things will start looking up since they are seriously trying now. |

Now if only Tatara can grow in that direction too :P |
| I'm very concerned right now as the anime keeps rushing at a very faster pace than the manga. Last thing I heard is that Takeuchi-sensei still has health issues and that the current story arc is still not concluded in the manga due to this. Does the anime studio have a grasp of what the mangaka intends for the anime's conclusion? Also won't this end differently from the manga since the anime will eventually finish first before it's manga counterpart? Because from what I seen, they've cut too much from the original source. |

| Woot! Not a lot of dancing, but plenty of character interactions this episode! Well there's one thing the artists did right: Make the girls look good in the hot springs! And Hyoudou lol, so chill. For the women and men to hear each other from across the wall was really fun! Hyoudou second best man for dragging Chinatsu out of her room XD. The highlight of this episode for me though was the conversation between Tatara and Shizuku. Tatara doesn't necessarily want to win against Shizuku and Hyoudou. He just wants to leave an impression on them. That's very admirable of him. He doesn't aim to be the best, he aims to be seen. That's a rather uncommon motive in sports anime, but it works very well here in Ballroom since Ballroom Dancing is about style and finesse. Let's see how this turns out in the competition. |

| Marisa has one of the hottest milf bodies out there. i'm impressed. =P The tension between Tatara and Chinatsu remains strong, but after having some down-to-earth talks with the others, Tatara with Hyodo, Gaju and Shizuku, and Chinatsu with Mako, the pair seems to be getting their act together, despite their constant bickering still. With the next episode taking place at another dance cmopetition and with Chinatsu's smug friend also dancing, I'm expecting both Tatara and Chinatsu to perform a lot better. I'm hoping they'll win the competition, personally. =) |
| Enjoyable episode, the characters are drawn so detailed. There wasn't any epiphany, but they did resolve the argument mostly. |

God bless that Russian blood.  |

I just wish that they do not modify the manga's character development as much. Maybe they are just aiming for one season and they don't see Tatara ever getting together with Shizuku in the story. I wonder too about all that. Shizuku is the "first girl" we saw. Tatara saw Shizuku in underwear. Shonen Rules says MC must end with "first girl" and if underwear --- > marriage and it's a shonen :) I like to laugh about that but it's clear they emphasize the Tatara - Chinatsu relationship (which I love) On another subject, the episode last week was pretty well drawn, I mean I found Chinatsu almost as beautiful as in the manga. Still rooting for Chinatsu becoming someone like her role model Chizuru Hongou, my favourite character actually, even more since the anime. |

| When Chinatsu start to be likeable? At first that series was pretty ok, I really like Mako's arc, that final dance with all these roses was so pretty! But then Chinatsu joined with all these annoying and forced drama and right now is really hard to keep with these series. |
| Funny and well-designed episode. Also important because of what happens to Tatara and Chinatsu. I loved the comedy view in the narration. P.S. Marisa = MILF confirmed. XD |
 |
| Between Episode 16 and 17, in the manga we got an Omake about "How Leaders and Partners would work if they were genderswapped" |
 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
| I really like this anime but I have the impression that its too much rushed, so I think Im gonna switch to manga soon. Feel like Im missing too much from the manga in the anime ^^' |
| The anime is definitely aiming for an anime original ending, that's for sure. |
| きみ は だれ だい？ ぼく は ラムボ！ ぼく は だれ だい？ きみ は ラムボ！ ラムボ なんでし！ |
| Tatara and Chinatsu need to connect physically in a whole different way if you know what I mean. After that, dancing will be a breeze. Marisa is quite the sexy lady. Puts the hot young ones to shame with that 'nais body' of hers. |

| Nice to see an episode with more interaction between characters (especially the dialogue between Mako and Chinatsu). In the end, she and Tatara didn't solve the problem in itself but now they are in the same page. It was really helpful of Hyodo, Shizuku and Mako in giving them a push in the right direction. P.S.: I hope the studio puts the same effort into the panels/drawings for the next competition as much as they did with Marisa-sensei ones (DAAAAAAAAAMN). |
| If there's one thing this show has going for it it's the drama. I like it. They're gradually maturing, and I kind of ship them pretty hard.. lowkey. But then that scene with Tatara and Shizuku is a wild card. It warmed my heart to know that Tatara left an impression on Shizuku just as much she did on him. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| the fanservice in the thermal bath was nice!!! kekeke Well, the couple i think is ready for this new competition, but i think they will not win it!!!! |
| Doesn't seem like Tatara and Chinatsu are fully in sync yet, so I'm really looking forward to watching how those two improve as the competition goes on. |
