| Junpei's decision to go full ballet (and with a shaved head of all things), and achieve the fame of a Danseur Noble dancing the part of the Prince, it's not so easy facing against prestigious Russian ballet, but if the dream takes you there, it's seeing it to believe it. Junpei should be proud that his father taught him Jeet Kune Do as his base foundation for ballet, but according Chizuru to it just isn't TRUE ballet. From the barre basics to even the most extensive of movements, TRUE ballet takes years of practice, and for Junpei to master them a month since his arrival seems like it's asking too much from him to nail the correct foundations of ballet, and drill them in his mind to etch off the bad habits. Taking barre lessons repeatedly can seem mundane, but the basics are essential, and if there's one thing that Luou can't stand, it's standing on the same stage as Junpei, much less his own personal trauma of being taught under his overzealous grandmother. Practicing barre day and night, Junpei might've got it down, and when it comes with the actual replication both him and Miyako did good, except that Miyako got flustered by Junpei's still-sloppy dance. Just hoping that both Luou and monke Junpei can come to terms with one another on stage in the future. |

| Now, that was a great episode, because felt that this series will pick up. Previous episodes were good, but was just a prologue in a way. Junpei finally got his thoughts together. And now can dance. That Junpei and Luou scene, I really liked it, was a great beginning of a rivalry. |
 |
| Now that Junpei has removed the social barriers standing in his path, he must re-train himself in the basics since just "passion" isn't gonna cut it. May even lead to injury. Loved this development. Luou certainly seems to have had a rather abusive childhood, getting groomed in ballet. That might explain why he's passive. |
 |
| Man you can't just help but be impressed by how much actual ANIMATION, how much MOVEMENT there is in this. |

| Oh, I think I was right about Luou being abused in his past. Really hope real ballet instructors don't treat their students like that! Has Junpei been cutting his hair throughout this time? A month is long enough to grow a good amount of hair, but his hair is still so short. I wish his hair would grow a bit more. Hair can be a great way to show a character's emotions and personality, and I think animators should take advantage of that. A part of me still wants Luou to take over as the protagonist. lol. He's a lot more interesting. Looks like we'll get to see their Swan Lake next episode. I have only seen clips of that show on YouTube, but it looks really pretty, and the music is beautiful, so I am looking forward to it. (And, Luou's makeup looked so good in the preview!) |
| And people had the nerve to give Jumpei shit, lol. Great episode again, someone is having way too much fun with basic training and you love to see it. Ah, the joy of the beginner phase. |

| It was an okay episode. It wasn't boring, but it felt somewhat too "by the numbers". When Miyako pointed out his worn out shoes, it felt like ... don't TELL us about his training efforts, SHOW us. It was like they rushed it a bit here. My highlight of the episode was when Miyako started blushing during her dance with Junpei. Haha, how the turn tables have! :D Although this scene also shows one problem: Before, Junpei had severe issues with getting close to girls. Now he was full of confidence just by visualising the coreography. Again, too fast for my liking. With so many anime nowadays rushing their plot, I hope Dance Dance Danseur actually slows down a bit. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| THIS EPISODEEE🫶🫶🫶🫶 EEEE I LOVEDD IT. really really nice, im happy to see that the stuff that miyako's pointing out are actually real things. and junpei beginning to master those basics were great. im glad that him and luou made up (kinda... did they? im just gonna assume they did😭) |
| That was another great episode. More on the technical side of the ballet. I loved it even tho I'm not very familiar with Ballet myself. Seeing Junpei being freely able to move and express his love for Ballet was great to see and Luou also came out and feels like the rivalry between them is gonna get spicy from here on out. The preview for the next episode looks great, especially the storyboard and the direction. Can't wait. |
 |
| I always love it when the sparkles show up. Great episode! Junpei and Miyako's practice performance was fucking great. Once Junpei gets the basics down, he's definitely gonna become a beast. That choking battle at the end though lmao. Looks like we'll be getting the performance next episode based on the preview, and it looks like it's gonna be a banger, really looking forward to it. |

| Don't like how much this left behind the content of the last episode. We're right back on the path of budding rivals as if Luou didn't get another big dose of trauma and Junpei didn't abandon all his friends and hobbies. It really cheapens the plot to use bullying so shallowly. |

It really cheapens the plot to use bullying so shallowly. Right? I was suspecting ,after the last episode, that the whole bullying thing was just a narrative device rather than an actual plot hook. I expected it to be irrelevant within like 2 episodes, but apparently it didn't even take one. |
| Junpei if he is released now and can go as he wishes, but he lacks quite a bit and with so little time for the festival, plus the fact that he has high dreams, let's see what's next, Ruo is still the one who knows the most. |
Can we- talk about this?  |
| An abusive family and bullies. Luou doesn’t seem the catch a break. And the neck grab!?!! |
 |
| They all can die from envy, Junpei. You just keep doing what brings joy to your heart. Second 5/5 episode in a row. Junpei's character seems to be developing nicely and not gonna lie, it's actually kinda cute seeing him having so much fun while doing ballet. As for Luou, I see he continues to act like a disrespectful ass. Honestly, no wonder why I didn't feel anything when we got a glimpse of his shitty childhood. |
| Congratulations to Junpei for being slightly more tolerable. That being said. I'm still rooting for Ruou, and would rather have him as the protagonist instead of Junpei. After all that hell, I'm not surprised about his behaviour at all. But I'd like to see both of them dance in Russia. Maybe not as danseur nobles, because I think 11 episodes won't be enough for that unless they either rush it or skip a lot to get there, which I hope they don't. |

| I get Naruto-Sasuke vibe from this :P |
| I am so so so so happy they seem to have changed the pace of this show. After the first two episode I was ready to drop this. The pacing of the story went SO fast that it annoyed the f out of me. But ever since episode 3 they seem to have slowed down a lot. This could be entirely my individual perception on this though, lol. Anyway because of this the show is 10 times more enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for the next episode! Only remark on this episode is how they sorta skipped over Junpei losing all his friends just like that. He seems to be perfectly fine with it... But that's maybe a bit hard to believe? Who knows. I have not read the manga so perhaps they skipped it on purpose. |

I believe that he made friends mostly for the sake of keeping up this image of manliness and all so now that he can use pursue his passion freely after having kept it inside for so long, he doesn't care. |

| These little practice dances brought me to tears. They're so elegantly animated and they reach you in the most beautiful way. It was very dreamy watching this episode. I like the rivalry, but damn Luou has a dark past. I genuinely wonder how he feels about the way he got into ballet in the first place. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Junpei is taking the ballet seriously, and made it clear to Ruo. Good chapter. |
Damn bro, look at that neck. What a sight. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| Ruou seems to had a very tough childhood with his abusive family, I can understand his behavior, anyway Junpei is back to business now and is very motivated to improve, even wants to come to Russia lmao |
 |
| wow, Junpei is amazing, learn a quick steps!!! kekeke |
| If you're talking about the length of the necks, they pass unlike the atrociously long ones in ballroom e youkoso. |
| their future budding love/hate BFF-ship is starting to show now. |
