| The callback to episode 1 or 2 at the very end is a very good albeit cliche way to end a series making use of our sense of nostalgia, showing growth of the main character. but let's be real here, Tatara and Chinatsu's pair win is a total BS, they had lots of blunders and still won, it's not even a matter of having skills with innovation anymore, it's just innovation, aka who's the flashiest out there, screw basics. There were so many pause moments between Tatara and Chinatsu and they still won.. smh just because they learned something basic like chemistry between the 2 doesn't make them better than someone who's been together for the past 3 years at least. -.-; Series also kept beating the dead horse about the lack of chemistry between Chinatsu and Tatara, something that they should've worked on before the tournament, not during the tournament just to make the competition more dramatic than it needed to be. Stuffs like Tatara getting better, getting a better hold of what the illusion means to his growth, Chinatsu learning to cooperate with Tatara and all that are fine, but the little banter between them to show disconnection have been repeated to death just for the little comedy moments, I wanted to say "yeah yeah we get it already, move on to the next thing please".. And watching a sports about ballroom dancing, I do expect some intensity but moreso I expected some elegance, not just fierce looking art and animation all the time, which this series failed to deliver. I ship Tatara and Chinatsu, pretty sure most people do as well. It's a trope that I really like, a tough girl falling in love. Chinatsu was also pretty dang kinky when she said she prefers to be dominated by guys *insert lenny emoji* The kiss was nice but from what I've heard from the manga readers, there was supposed to be a confession scene here somewhere, it's pretty disappointing that they didn't include it here. The series could've been much better.. I assume this is the anime's fault, because I've read that even manga readers are not fond of this adaptation. Will definitely be getting into the manga in the future when it's back serializing.. as for the anime, it's very disappointing. this show also have really random sexual moments like the old man wanting to feel up Hyodo's mom in front of him, Tatara feeling excited when he knew Mako was bra-less, etc. I have been watching and reading animanga and out of the last 30 animanga I've watched/read I'd say around 25 have some weird sex joke or sexual moment like this, it sucks truth be told. I am afraid of this new wave of sexualization of characters in animanga. |

| This anime loves to lump my throat... I love it. Beautiful and unique anime full of emotions with the only flaw that sometimes they love to "speak" alot instead of dancing (like episodes 20 to 22). |
| Overall a very fun series! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The first cour is good, exaggerated bending and neck makes me distracted but I enjoy it regardless, on 2nd cour.. I didn't enjoy it that much, the dance keeps repeating, except on this last episode, they show some dance moves (or whatever you call that). The best partner for Tatara (Shizuku, Mako, Chinatsu) I prefer Mako for him.. at first I know Mako is not his official partner so I expect a lot to Chinatsu but I get annoyed when they keep on arguing and she won't follow Tatara's lead.. while Mako and him is cute.. I ship Shizuku with Hyodo so she's out in the choices.. there's tag romance, but the only couple I like is only Shizuku and Hyodo.. but they didn't get much exposure in 2nd cour :( I'm contented with this season so it's fine if no sequel (but if Hyodo have big exposure in next season, I will watch it for sure) |

| AHHHH ITS OVER T.T I WATCHED IT TOO QUICKLY I WISH I PACED MYSELF T.T i loved this so much more than i could possibly imagine... it's one of those rare anime that just happened to speak to me on a deeper level. i can forgive its flaws (mainly oversexualization) for that, bc i love everything else SO DAMN MUCH. i will be praying for a season 2... it's a 10/10 for me! |

| THEY WOOOON I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM AND THAT CHEEK KISS WAS ADORABLE AAAA I really loved that anime, I got a lot of goosebumps during the dances and the animation was great. The last episodes were pretty slow tho but it was still a nice anime to follow!  |
 |
| this anime is so damn good, I enjoy it until the end. |
🐐 |
| Enjoyed the every last second, I haven't felt this way in a long time... loved the adaption 10/10 gave me a hope to try one more time. |

| Can't believe how entertaining this was, i thought i would drop this after the first ep. Really good, would have liked more romance tho, still 9/10 |
| I don't know if this is Production I.G style or Japanese writing in general but it was a bit uninspiring and predictable it had some moment but I think this kind of descriptive story-telling of what the characters are doing/thinking and that's what the viewer should understand was very tiring, I wished it focused more on the actual dancing rather than its philosophy Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru followed the exact same recipe but it was more enjoyable -maybe because it was a more relatable sport/theme?- |
