The anime is already feeling like it's dragging on with disrupted flow. I care not about whether this is because we're in "filler" mode or because the manga too is like this.

Remember that episode where Hyoudo said the Tatara-pair can stuff around as much as they want? Then they showed the "One moment of unison, a second moment of harmony" (or something) and the judge dropped his pen? The very next episode after that should have been about how the two are getting better with each moment, how after Tatara starts to show his dancing after admitting to being a coward.

That was... 3 episodes ago? We're still waffling around about how poor their teamwork is, and now Hyoudo is experimenting some more. Now we're starting again as if none of that mattered, instead talking about Chinatsu following for once.
