| That scene of dancing at night in the open nature looked like something out of a fantasy world. I wish they continued that scene longer. I'm also impressed by Miyako's talent and her passions of dancing. I think she and Junpei can make a lot of memories in this anime. Another person to keep an eye might be Ruou. Interesting development episode overall. |
 |
| The character expressions feel strangely good. So beautiful close-ups. I cant blame Junpei for being sad. If is to say something that was a missed opportunity, would be not making the ending of this episode Junpei dancing at the sound of Rosie from The Roosters. |
 |
| Oh yeah, my reaction to Schwanensee was similar 🥱 minus getting pumped. And lol, lifting weights won't stunt your growth, especially not in moderation. It's rather the opposite. Junpei should give up on soccer, start hitting the gym and hop on some hgh asap. Really good episode again, this is in my top 3 of the season so far. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Very good second episode. Many many mixed signals coming and going. Poor guy really need to make a choice, and not pick a thing because he likes a girl. I have high hopes for this, so far it easily one of my favourite shows. |
 |
| Last season every single fan of Sono Bisque was salivating and fangirling about Cloverworks' impressive animation. This season, nothing but a minuscule fraction is recognizing the stunning animation along with the coreographies on an activity that requires a lot more discipline. T&A sure sells well, specially when there's so much work in jigglying animation, shame it doesn't work that well on truly artistic performances. Back to the episode, the whole paralels of the swan lake characters to Junpei, Miyako & Lou is so on point. I never expected this show to be your happy go lucky rosey love story and it looks like it has started on the right foot. Gotta love all the hurdles thrown at Junpei in these couple of days, from Lou's former introduction and his obvious higher talent, to Junpei realizing that Miyako had an ulterior motive, to his other social activities just giving him mixed signals of what path should he choose. |

| Really enjoying the anime and just wanted to post here to show my support. Surprised how quiet the forum section here is. So far my favorite anime of the season, I could just keep watching for hours. Had a little anxiety attack during the scene at the train crossing. I wasn't sure whether Miyako was standing inside or outside of the rails, so when the scene just kept going and going and still no train, my mind went "omg, they're gonna kill the cute girl in the second episode, it's gonna be THAT kind of anime ...!". I'm glad that didn't turn out to be the case ^^ |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| The dance under the moon had some amazing choreography. I am curious to see how Junpei will resolve the hurdles being thrown at him, hurdles that are partially even his own fault. |
 |
| What a nice episode. Liked it much more than the first one. Watched some sequences twice. Loved the first 8 minutes or so of it, especially the humming + OST integration. Looks great. Probably the anime I'm looking forward to the most this season. aichaAb said: Can you tell me the name of the song used in the last scene please Also, the song Hyouta was table drumming on is pretty nice: The Roosters - Rosie |

| this show is super promising and looked over think its going to blow up! cant wait! |
 |
| I was more mixed on this episode than the first one. Junpei was very annoying the entire time not being able to touch a girl that he likes and constantly staring at Luou. The dancing looks good and some shots look pretty, but the art and animation for most of the show is underwhelming. Wasn’t expecting Miyako to be attracted to her cousin, but not surprised. |
| They had Odile dancing, and we didn't get to see her do that impressive spin! That is just a missed opportunity! lol Luou is a lot more interesting than any character so far. He clearly loves ballet but wants to quite it. He's also a very beautiful dancer. Also, when Junpei screamed, Luou covered himself as if shielding himself. I guess he must have experience with people abusing him. Maybe bullies? His old dance instructor? Or maybe his parents? Based on the previews, might be bullies? Junpei wore a dance belt outside his tights. haha Miyako is boring. She is just a love interest and a plot tool with no development. She adds nothing to the story. Rather, she decreases the impact of what could have been really impactful scenes. Like: I think it would have been better if Junpei did not do ballet for her, but for himself. He clearly loves it, so I think it's okay for him to pursue it for himself. Even selfishly at times. Also, the scene at the beginning where they go see a ballet performance: it would have been better if Junpei went on his own, and watched with excitement as other people enjoyed what he loves so much. Next episode has a nice title. 男らしいって、なんだ？"What is 'manly'?" I am interested to see what they'll do with it. |
| i am enjoying this anime especially the op is really good |
 |
| Junpei and Miyako's date to watch the Swan Lake play...but the former slept the way through to induce anger on him, not a surprise. It's only when the lead actors come in with exquisite moves to shake him in his core and try to imitate their movements, and Miyako follows suit. Junpei didn't felt it, but ballet was the only talent that recruited him instead, and in the midst, found Luou Mori dancing in secrecy, he's Rothbart the Demon as compared to Miyako's Odile. And comparing both guys, it's obvious that Miyako is the assuming love interest to fight for being a worthy ballet partner in the guise to get Junpei to do ballet. And the unmistakble happens: Luou coming to school, what implications will this have for Junpei? XO2HKIM said: Mistranslation, according to subs terms. Same with Junpei being "Jumpei", which doesn't make sense at all.Why did the anime change Ruou's name to "Luou"? |
 |
| Wow... a really solid 2nd episode. That was very good. Junpei still isn't confident in himself and there are times when the things he does are kinda funny and cringy but it's fine. Miyako likes Luou and not Junpei. That's sad for him. The animation and OST were great, once again. Enjoyed more than the previous episode. Also, the Rosie song was so fricking good and the ED is really good as well. |
 |
| I think Junpei is being obnoxious, but I guess he's acting childish because he's thirteen and more sensitive to emotions. Although, I believe Luou was bullied before due to his reaction toward Junpei when he jumped towards him. I hope Junpei isn’t a terrible person to him, now that’s he’s back in school. |
 |
| This anime seems ok but the pacing seems a little off to me? A bit fast maybe. I'm not 100% sure what it is. Still going to watch it and see how it goes. |
 |
| Excellent story and great animation… but why did they make her in love with her cousin 😩 |
| Unfortunately, only 11 episodes will be done. I afraid that we should read manga instead. There are mamy manga volumes and they again will end the story in nowhere. |
 |
| i'm enjoying this so muchhh i'm so glad we have a new type of dance anime |
  |
| Intriguing episode. Luou seems cute, loved him in his glasses at school. We've already been introduced to our love triangle, but Luou's her cousin so.... wonder if we will see this turn more into a close friendship between the three or if they will double down on the romance. I also really love the name Junpei, but for some reason his name has been translated as Jumpei in this episode on Crunchyroll 😂 The ED was really interesting, the animation and art direction is really dope. loved watching this as I finished the episode The last scene that teases our next episode titled "What Does it Mean to be Manly?" has Junpei crying a boatload of tears with a grumpy face. I'm dying to see what sort of decision he makes. Honestly, he just needs to tell the dance instructor that since his dad died, he's been really struggling with this and isn't sure if dancing is the path he should be taking. This can be cleared up, hope we actually get to see his mom introduced as a character lol I thrive on loving anime parents 😭 hope we get to see her supporting her son on this. |
  |
| solid 2nd episode! MAPPA is really doing a great job with fewest CG as possible! 5/5. |
 |
| Words can't explain how I'm feeling right now. I cried, got happy, then got goosebumps the whole time I was watching the show. The way Mappa adapted this is just a masterpiece for me. Dance Dance Danseur really connected with me as much as Ballroom e Youkoso. I feel like I'll cry every episode from happiness. |

| Still don't know what to think of this series. Comedy feels mostly awkward and honestly, I'm not interested at all in the potential love triangle between these three kids. Fluidity of movements and overall choreography continue to be quite impressive tho. |
| ohh man love drama👎👎👎 ill bear with it ig. junpei singing to that rosie song near the end was sooo nice. fav part for me |
| i really loved how the author knows how to properly write pre-teens the kids are so well written with all their insecurities and fears, im liking all characters from this show so far |
 |
| I am so f-ing frustrated with this show. The OP, the characters, the main concept/idea of the show, the visuals and animation, the ED... Everything is réally good. But it is ALL ruined by the fast pacing. I literally checked multiple times to see if I wasn't speeding up the video by accident. Sadly I wasn't. I wísh there was a button to slow it all down. They're throwing the story and arcs out like it's Formula 1 over there. I didn't know this much could happen in one single episode. Again... It literally ruins the whole show for me. Might drop if they keep doing this in ep 3 and 4. I have a small hope they speed up to build up the story and tone it down after a bit. |

| Watched this only because of Hajime Ootani and he absolutely delivered. The ballet scenes were beautifully directed especially, the stage performance. There are also a lot of strong directing throughout the episode like the train crossing, the park scene and the meeting at the night with her mother, also seems to be someone related to Shaft. Unfortunately, not every section of the production is strong enough and CG models don't help either but Mari Fujino is carrying this on her back. Thankfully, Luou wasn't introduced in an obnoxious manner which was one of my biggest concern. It's a full on improvement over the first episode. Next episode looks like it's going to be a hard drama in school. Character writing is so far the strongest thing about this, hopefully, this doesn't disappoint. |

| Now this episode was really enjoyable compared to the first one. Junpei wearing his outfit like some bdsm outfit was hilarious XD And Junpei seeing himself as a monkey was hilarious too XD The scene where Junpei started dancing on the street was beautiful and I really liked the song. I wish it was longer. |

| I'm going to be honest, I wanted someone other that Uchiyama Kouki to voice Ruou. I expected someone colder, sinister and thinner, maybe even softer. Ugh, I like Kouki and his roles, but I don't think he fits Ruou at all and that could have made a huge difference. Anyway, adding romance isn't a bad move, it'll make things more interesting. It sucks that this is a short cour because things seem to move a little fast. Good episode though, keep doing what you're doing MAPPA! |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Man, that moment at the crossing was pretty sad. Junpei and Miyako looked really good together too dancing at the park at night like that. |
 |
| Ruo Mori, hmm. Let's see what will happen, good chapter. The ending is good. The song that Junpei danced to sounded good, I liked it. |
| Ah so that Ruou guy finally "appeared" and not staying in the dark as before but seems like Junpei is jealous of him, which is not surprising. He really has too many things going on at the same time, he betters drop everything to focus only on dance. |
 |
| Ruo, rival in dance and love!!! kekeke |
| This girl is in love with her cousin? Um, doesn't this take place during the modern era? You know? Where incest is frowned upon? No? Some of the scenes were so awkward and cringe-worthy, but I do like this episode overall. It seems as if Jumpei's friend also has an interest in band. Luckily, Jumpei is accepting of that interest. I don't know about his other friends. Especially since we see some bad traits of them. Like the girls in his group calling Miyako a loser. |
