Ah recap of the first five episodes...

I mean, for a show that runs on one cour, I guess it means all the buildup and training are over? They better put their tactics to good use.

I haven't watched it yet, and not entirely sure I will either, but a recap episode is hardly necessary for the Danshis.
I mean, the show isn't even half over yet (unless this is a 10 episode series), it's only one cour, and not that much has actually happened yet. Guess I'm just upset I won't get a new dose of ikemen doing ikemen things today, lol.

I think the recap was kind of cool considering it retells us about how cheerleading is done and it also retells us about how the breakers got its first 7 members
I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met.

For a summary episode, the beginning was very disorganized until they started doing character introductions and cheer basics.

and tbh, the hair-colored debut routine scene was presented better in this recap episode than it was in the main series.

I've been waiting a whole week after the amazing first performance and they give me this.. I was really excited, I would even be okay with a filler, but not a recap. It didn't say anything much from what we have known already too. I hope episode 6 will be a beast because that recap destroyed my enthusiasm.

I don't really feel like Cheer Danshi!! needs a recap episode since it's only 5 episodes in but I figure the recap episode is also useful in getting new people to check out the anime? since cheer danshi!! is 5 episodes out already, a 1 one episode recap may encourage new people to pick up the anime that haven't bothered to watch any of the five 5 episodes.

I skimmed through the recap. I don't know if that counts enough for me to put it on my list. It seemed informative over the characters in the second half and the ending was pretty nice.

I didn't mind the recap episode tbh, sure it's pretty early in the series but it's definitely a good refresher and they also talked about some of the terminology too. They teased the new members near the end of the episode though (i.e. Saku-chan) so that's something I guess.

I mostly wanted to hear the ending song again bwahahaha <3

It seems you don't understand how recaps like this one work. It's not that they planned for this. Most likely they are stuck in production hell and were unable to complete episode on time so they decided to go with recap to buy some time. It's a sign that something went bad but at least someone cares enough to not release half assed episode and if they will fix issues by next week show may be back on track.

I'm guessing this is what happened, yeah. Unfortunate that we were given a recap episode but hey, at least it's not counted in the main episode line.

The sequence could have been organized better, overall pretty meh just as the other recaps.
