    They should score low, totally agree there, and they will, especially because they fell at the end.
    Unless they fell after the music had stopped =)

    Took the words out of my mouth, lol. Although I´d love to see the judges then. Were they looking at a timer and thought "oh no, they´re falling! The time, the time ...! YES! Time stopped shortly before they hit the ground! They win!!!"

    ;D

    The gorilla pushed him down stairs. That's why he was shocked. If he was completely devoid of responsibility then he wouldn't have that guilty as fuck look. He couldn't even thing himself to look at Hyodo at the dance off. He might have deliberately failed to catch a falling Hyodo, but that's the same thing.

    Also, they fell as the music was ending, but it's still going. They'll lose big points. Hyodo will dance like a boss to still win it in Gorilla's face.

    I also only just realised the fat glasses person was a girl. I thought she was a guy the entire time.

    Shizuku again looks best when clothed.

    edit: seriously, trim those fucking pants. This is the 2nd time now.

    Episode 4 is out, honestly by far the worst episode of the series so far. Hope it recovers in the next ones.

    episode 5 is out, too
    ----------------------------

    first of all, i liked ep 4, no idea why you hated it.

    anyway, ep 5 ... damn, at first i found Mako boring, but now she´s just super cute. I don´t want that new asshole to touch Shizuku, gives me serious NTR reactions, but Tatara cant have both. Hm ...

    The NTR is so strong with this one (Episode 04, since ep 05 isn't fansubbed yet as far as I know).

    I took a really misogynistic read to that episode. It really felt like Shizuku was a tool for Hyoudo or MC to show off their techniques with, or to enjoy the floor with.

    Yes, the opposite is also true where you're supposed to look after your partner etc etc (see Episode 03 where MC adjusted the dance to save both their leg strength - and that his dance only worked because he learned THEIR choreography).

    But ep04 - Hyodo did not look like he gave a fuck about her, despite what is depicted before (or after) that tango.

    Episode 4 topped Oofuri's level of MC whining. Not an easy task

    I never got the impression that Hyodo was mad at Fujita for dancing with Shizuku, at least based on how the translation came off. He was asking for "it" back, so I thought he was going for something cheesy like "smile" or "joy" or some crap like that.

    It seems Fujita did steal his choreography, but even when that was explained, I'm still unsure about what Hyodo was mad about or what was he asking to be returned. Or if he was mad at all for that matter.

    Whatever, Hyodo is a weird dude.

    As for episode 5... well, I'm a Mako fan. I hope she sticks around for the long haul.

    I'm not sure what anyone has against episode 4, especially when episode 5 makes it pretty clear what the dynamics of the series are all about.

    The girls, Shizuku and Mako, are assumed to be essentially perfect. This isn't because of some weird shit going on, but because they're not the leads in dancing. They excel in the Follow role. The two girls follow whatever their partner does. That's how it is intended to work, beautifully illustrated in episode 5 by Mako and Tatara in the park.

    Tatara has a natural instinct on where the Follow is supposed to go, and ensures that she makes it there, or adjusts accordingly. He's leading, but in a passive way, if that makes any sense. Gaju simply leads regardless of his partner, and Hyodo leads and meshes with his partner, but most recently was focused on himself, not as a pairing. The success of the performance in episode 4 is due to Shizuku's talent...she can keep up with Hyodo's lead. But they were not really dancing together. Tatara and she were, because she naturally fell into his slipshod rhythm.

    Episode 4 was full of cry babies and needless faux drama boredom. Hyodo's routine was cool to watch though.

    Yay, episode 5 was pretty cool, I'm glad he's pairing up with Mako, she's a sweetie.

    She seems to fit him much better anyway... not only skillwise, but also in terms of character.

    Yeah, but Shizuku is like that hot, curvy teacher you always wanted to screw but never could, so that´s why I wish for Tatara to "get" Shizuku.

    Wait, what´s this about anymore? Goddamn, the NTR in those 2 episodes hit me hard ...

    You're taking her brother's word that Mako is the one dragging them down. They placed 5th in Latin dance.

    She's way better than Tatara, though maybe not in the classic style, but probably there too.

    Hyodo was mad and jealous that Tatara got to enjoy a dance in his place.
    He then went and danced in ways he normally wouldn't have in order to enjoy himself - and that's being inconsiderate. And that's the point of my read on it.

    He went out and danced in ways he wanted to, and Shizuku was simply expected to keep up.

    Shizuku's role there wasn't to be a pair with him. Her role in that dance was to enable him to dance. This is in stark contrast to what's shown in episode 02 or late episode 04.

    Episode 05 was fine, like the rest of the series. Those Latin moves looked great. The exaggerated art fits that better than waltz. The MC better start learning more dances or this could get boring really fast.
