| Honestly the quality of the show falling, hopefully grand prix cup wont be the last thing we are seeing until the end of show, just dont make it as drawn out like tenpei was. |
| I was actually enjoying this anime before reading the manga , now I can only see how poorly animated and drawn it is.. :\ The previous episodes were bearable, but this episode.. oh boy |
| The drawing in this episode was tragic. People were hyping this studio so much when the anime was announced but all we got is poor animation and still frames. And it keeps getting worse. This was the point where I got hooked to the story while reading the manga but the anime adaptation has managed to ruin it too. They are literally rushing through the chapters. If they were going to cover so many chapters, why did they drag out the tenpei tournament? They could have done that in 2-3 episodes. By cutting out all the details/interactions, they are not doing these new set of characters any justice. Dropped! |
HyperL said: It's always sad how Japan likes to present gay dudes as uglysh creepy man with no qualms about engaging in sexual harassment and borderline rape. When is not that they're just bishounen fujobait. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but whatever. Eeeeh always? You haven't heard of traps? Or you just didn't thought a majority of them being gay Y'know most traps are gay right? Or in denial (ex. Jun from Happiness, Hideyoshi from baka and test is in denial) Not talking about liking traps okay? (we'll leave that argument alone) |

(we'll leave that argument alone) Well, I haven't seem those anime so I don't know much about the characters mentioned. Are they shown or implied to be either sexualy or romanticaly interested in man (and not interested in woman)? You can't consider them homosexual unless they are. |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| A grown man and two high school guys running away yelling scary was hilarious. I feel like this anime is slowing down on me. Before it felt like 5 minute episodes but for the past two episodes or so, I haven't had that feeling at all. Is anybody else feeling this or is it just me...? |

Yup, like Jun from Happiness is totally gay, it's even in the wiki, most traps pursues guys to actual molestation |

| the portrayal of Sengokus main rival there was a little troubling but otherwise pretty good episode |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
Unconcerned said: Also they spent a lot of time building Tatara up as this natural with great eyes. Someone who can learn very quickly and absorb techniques. It feels like we are starting all over with nothing he did in the first cour meaning anything and them presenting his competitions prior as luck. Which really throws me off. Oh you'll enjoy episode (prob around) 16 or 17+ |
 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
| This sudden change of route with regard to narration, I really liked. Very funny some situations, but also the serious situations, I really liked it. Too bad for the quality of the drawings, really mediocre. |
 |
| Every time Sengoku is involved, this show becomes so much better. |
| I'm a bit sad that Tatara has to leave Sengoku's studio, but I can understand it. He needs a full-time coach if he's going to catch up to Kiyoharu and Shizuku. I don't think Tatara entering this competition when he was advised not to was a very good idea... |
| 2018! When I saw the year it's set in it shouldn't be surprising, but it feels like it's far in the future even though it isn't. Not getting a big sense of progress so far. |
 |
| Tatara change of trainer!!! |
Zyukichan said: I am seriously concerned about the animation of this anime. From episode 13 I noticed a huge change in both animation and.. pacing perhaps. Personally I love the old cast and they have been left out a bit. I just really hate Chinatsu's personality. The story on the other hand impressed me and keeps me entertained. I wonder how much they will fail at the Grand Prix. ..mhuhahaha Chinatsu is far better (as Shizuku and Tatara) in the manga..

| How disappointing, not sure if it is due to the authors sickness but the plot quality has dropped a lot during this cour imo. |

| Balls greeting was weird! Anyway Sengoku-san was extremely hot in this episode, also I enjoy the fact that Tatara is facing so much on his way to the top and shows us that he s normal character, not some kinda simple genius-protagonist! |
 |
| My GAAAWWWDDDDD, an ugly face AND an ugly personality. Gross. Don't like Kugimiya lmao. "There are only pretty people at this studio!" UH. ALL EXCEPT FOR ONE. Hyoudo-kun's so fricken hot. Haven't seen him in awhile and he looks just unf *O* LMAOOOOO. Sengoku got violated hahahhaha x'D On another note, maybe Shizuku and Hyoudo's expectations for Fujita is too high.... I don't think he can progress that quickly to meet them on rival footing ;/ and it's giving him so much stress and pressure to catch up quickly. "I won't wait longer than a year," she said. It's kind of unfair towards Fujita. Yeah, he's the main character and all, but that doesn't make him invincible .-. he's a late bloomer. Doesn't have much rn except for his sharp attention to detail... |
| that grand prix thing will end bad for Tatara. |
| Masami called his partner Banshee like wtf :/ |
| Good episode! Interesting how Tatara decided to change instructors.. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Really?? When I watched ballroom dancing, I always look at the girls, not the leader! I didn't know guy have the important role. I can't blame him, Sengoku is very sexy hahahah |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
beloving said: not a fan of this new rival....his character design is really creepy. i can't tell if he's in his 40's or not, but he looks super old i also like how Tatara is trying to make dance a cooperative effort instead of how his rival is just swinging his partner around. i didn't realize ballroom dancing only focused on leaders, kinda sad considering both of the people are putting in a lot of effort HyperL said: It's always sad how Japan likes to present gay dudes as uglysh creepy man with no qualms about engaging in sexual harassment and borderline rape. When is not that they're just bishounen fujobait. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but whatever. this as well.... all of this, i've always liked how considerate tatara was to his partners, i didn't realize it would be seen as a negative? seems kinda backwards to me idk. it's hard to judge since i don't actually know all that much about ballroom dancing but based on stuff like this it seems like really traditional sexist roles are baked into its structure the ball grabbing scene was uncomfortable and unnecessary lol. how is sexual assault funny i am sad tatara is leaving sengoku, i liked their dynamic a lot. afraid marisa won't be so nice to him she's kinda scary T.T also yes the new rival is so ugly to look at lmfaooo. his hair is so greasy, he reminds me of some sort of snape x levi hybrid |
 |
| all we understand today: Fujita has a massive bottom power. Masami is cool ig, but i don't really like this hyperbolization of characters' personality. it feels kinda cringy... and i don't get it, is it a big problem if girl is leading in dance? and we saw Sengoku on the floor again! he is amazing! vasiliy is gross |

laputia said: some sort of snape x levi hybrid ahaha, thank you for that (o´▽`o) it's too funny |
| Why are there stuff that was not mentioned before such as Sengoku going abroad? It looks like there was a time skip. In some parts, I'm confused to what is happening. |
