| Was expecting some nice animation for the Shizuku and Hyodo dance scene... instead we got some still frames. In general, it feels like there haven't been any notable animation at all besides the tid bit at the end with Hyodo. Kinda disappointed (and even bored) so far as a manga reader. I'm expecting a lot from next episode. |
| This episode was also good :3 |
| tfw you will never dance with Shizuku. Why even live? Really like this show a lot. Probably my favorite of the season besides Abyss and Isekai Restaurant. It's like a mix of Haikyuu and Ippo. In fact, Sengoku reminds me of Takamura. |
| I enrolled a dancing lesson before for my PE class (was it ballroom or folk dance?), now I was seriously wondering why wasn't my experience as good as this one in the anime? We weren't taught BOX or that pendulum movement for basic waltz, more like I was bored to death just copying others dance and so on.. Made me realize more that anime mimicry or mimesis can be a bit dangerous if not taken with utmost moderation. It fuels up one's whimsical fantasies, imaginations, and aspirations that might never be there in the first place. TT EDIT: If I have to partner with a gorgeous girl like Hanaoka, I would probably don't mind re-enrolling those boring classes, or being called a pervert. I would just man it all up, and savour the feeling. Why not? |

| This is good, really good I never thought I'd ever get into an anime about dancing |
| The comedy has this weird timing, where we linger on the jokes too long. And did we really need the bit where Tatara accidentally walked in on whatsherface while she was changing? It wasn't funny and it didn't tell us anything new about the characters, it was just awkward. If I wanted fanservice I could just watch a show that focuses on that, so I don't get why that was necessary. And I guess I expected more class from a show about ballroom dancing, but maybe that was my mistake, too. Tatara still has no personality, outside of the traits that he only has because he's the protagonist of a sports shounen manga. It's almost insulting how obvious it is that he's a self insert. The way it's made so obvious that he's attracted to the girl is also annoying. It's been 2 episodes, I'm not going to care about his middle school crush, especially if it's rubbed in my face like this. I only tried this because it was said to be a visual treat, and it really does look great, but I didn't expect the storytelling style to be so hard to endure. |
| I absolutely hate the art style. Those two looked like dancing snakes, in the freakish, horror show kind of way. Which would be fine if it was intentional, but it clearly wasn't. |
| Alright, i am glad am not the only one who finds the dancing animation disturbing. They feel like dancing snakes to me, their body movements are so unnatural. |
| in the second episode was great too, because appears "the rival", Hyoudou, a boy, a great dancer, and rival in dance and ... love! kekekeke |
| What the hell happens with the necks in this show? They are weird. Lol, when Hyoudo yawns, the best part of this chapter |
| Karasuno Fight!!! |
| Karen and Jimbo are my faves. I also ship them. I also like the OP song, I hope it's not too late to mention this. Hyodo Kiyoharu is another favorite of mine, I love his cold look and how he was drawn in general. He and Shizuku look really good together. I ship them too. Shizuku and Tatara don't look good together at all, they look like older sister and younger brother. Complimentary scene where protagonist sees Anime girl changing her clothes. Check. Hyodo's awesome yawn. Hyodo's amazing in every way. Sengoku reminds me of Takamura Mamoru from Hajime No Ippo, he loves taunting people. Shizuku is cute when she's pouting over Hyodo. They are perfect for each other. |
| 臭い- |
| The Cringe is just getting worse... |
| This episode confirms how good I had previously imagined. It is diffcult to not empathize with the main character, even though he, unlike the Mass, proves to have a lot of talent, oh well! The quality of the drawings really high, it is a joy to the eyes, see this series. Characters, really fun, even new ones. XD |

Waaaooooo, Hyoudo-kun's a lot cuter than I thought he was going to be LOL <3 esp during this scene where he nods while blowing his nose xD If anyone has a gif version of this, please send it my way lolololz Thank goodness he's not that typical arrogant bastard of a rival haha   ^ this was entirely too adorable too ;P THISSSSSSSSSS THOOOOOOOOOOO. THIS YAWN KILLED ME AHHAHAHAHAHAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! XDDD lolol when Fujita was telling Hyoudo good luck, it sounded like he was confessing his love or something LMFAO xD I hope they become best friends or something :') maybe Hyoudo doesn't want to go abroad because he's waiting for a wave in the dance world... which, will hopefully be Fujita. Eh? Eh? ;D ;D Loved the ending part with the shadow *O* Monkey see, monkey do huehue :P |
| Everyone's bodies look so fucked up, it's a massive immersion breaker for me :( |

(and beautiful and hot af) I find them to be funny to be honest. Just look at this nigga he is part giraffe. lol LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| Hyoudou-kun, friend or foe? Hmm |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The way they dance, when they bend their neck and body, it looks scary!! hahah Shizuku is pretty! Hyodo and Shizuku looks good together (I ship them) I hope Tatara find his own partner. |
 |
| ok i'm loving this anime so far, the only thing i didn't like was the changing scene it was stupid. but like the art is AMAZING it's such a good stylistic choice. those freaking eyelashes, everything is so beautiful T.T i don't get the hate on the art, it's not like the average anime has normal proportions anyway? it's just something to get used to (and imo it's a brilliant choice since it emphasizes their dancing so nicely) |
