I don't knowOriginally Posted by Buffalobiian
this is the Sendai Grand Prix they mentioned when Tatara was at work and Chinatsu and Aki(?) had that cat-fight, isn't it?
He entered High school in Spring - which is basically where he met Chinatsu - and the Sendai Grand Prix is in September.
Which means they've known each other for roughly 4-5 month now and it doesn't feel like that at all (from our perspective)

Episode 16
---------------------------------
-"Hyodo's not here, wtf do I do?" - yeah how about you get your shit together, forget about the damn "rivalry" and focus on self improvement.
-Chinatsu not taking the lead during the comp: good. And now she's crumbling because despite wanting to follow she's now physically not able to.
Somehow Ballroom Youkoso isn't quite as fun lately because it's not playing to Tatara's strengths - which is him learning via osmosis and visually picking up every detail from top dancers. They highlighted that his body wasn't keeping up with his head earlier so I get that physical training is needed. Hopefully we'll get back to that stage again where he'll see something with his Sharingan and break it out because he'll be physically a boss.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Ep was good and fun.
I want more. I like how they covered the training in this ep.. both during the tournament, and also the training camp in general.
They are actually playing to his strength btw... the fact that he got it down first is just that.
lol @ the amount of food on those plates and on the grill btw ... aaaaand Tatara is a wimp, wth, stop tearing up like a puss just because you are having a fight.

Amount of food looks right for athletes. These guys consume 5k or more calories a day due to the level of exertion they do.
Peace.
But they don't eat all of it in mere minutes or in one session
They had like 3-4kg of meat each if you include the stuff that is still on the grill.

That lasted all of 2 minutes though and happened right at the end. Otherwise it's been consistently what I said previously for the past 2-3 episodes since he stopped dancing with Mako.

Nah, they are doing scenes like that one in pretty much every single episode.
That's all there is to Tataras skill in the first place.
He can read the partner he's dancing with, immitate what he has seen and also understand the execution. The "Sharingan"-scene was pretty much the first dance only as far as I can remember.
This Ep was him learning it faster than Chinatsu, who thought that she's actually pretty good at picking things up herself
Last Ep it was him following Kaga..yumi something.
The Ep before was him reading Chinatsu and be her shadow
The Ep before that was him following like a boss for the first time
The Ep before that was him analysing Sengoku-sans dance to near perfection
and the Ep before that he was dancing with Mako.

I enjoy how the new pairing for this cour isn't making it easy on Tartar Sauce. It feels aimless in a unique way. I have no clue what he should do (as I mentioned in a previous post), so I'm interested in what he does end up doing to 'get' his new partner, or at least I'm expecting a climax to come from it. this show has handled pay-offs to my liking so far.
I wonder if we'll actually see Tatara "doing something", or Chinatsu this time... right now, Chinatsu has to come up with something that helps her understand Tatara.
At least I'd appreciate it if she understands that.
Chinatsu is still not set on the Partner's role. She feels like she has to do things all on her own, probably because that's what she had to do in the past (and thus the "like a dog on a leash"-comment about her childhood friend)
Episode 17
--------------------------------------
Totally missed this edit:
Reading Sengoku and learning new figures is exactly what he's supposed to do. That's good.
(2-4) and a large part of (1) were (ineffectively) addressing Tatara's flaws. Tatara did not emulate any leaders, and was either a) told to follow someone, or b) forced to fake-lead someone. That's not playing to his stregths. As these episodes have shown, if you don't apply your emulation to leading, it'll hold you back. It's no longer a strength.
Tatara was taught to move like a leader, but he was never taught to think like one.
It's a mentality issue. We've been stuck beating around the bush instead of telling him exactly what's wrong and having him fix it. Without fixing this he can't improve with his strength - which should be eyeballing and emulating other leaders' forms.
Not dancing as a follow, not fake-leading as a leader. Now that it looks like we're finally going to have it fixed, can we finally see Tatara copy the top leaders.
--------------------
edit2: As for ep17, it was pretty hilarious.
As for Tatara, thank you team for slapping him in the right direction.

That ep was pretty cool, wasn't it?
Next ep seems to feature Aki again, can't wait to see them leaving an impression on her.. probably even beating her by a mile considering that Tatara already nailed it during the last comp during the first 2 dances.
On a side note
While I'm sure it's the proper way to do this in ballroom dancing, Chinatsu's hairdo, the one where you puts everything on the back of her head in a shape of a horn or something, is really awful compared to the other one we've seen so far... or her standard ponytail etc.
It always reminds me of this movie I watched ~15-20 years ago... about some alien-family that head egg-shaped heads.

Man, if only Aki wasn't so much of a bitch. That said, Chinatsu is just as snappy back at her. It's just that Aki picks up on how shit Chinatsu's follow is and keeps rubbing it into her face.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
All I gotta say is...
Shizuku is a slut.
Peace.
Episode 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------
That stuff was amazing to watch.
Really impactful and fun.
You could really tell how much Tatara struggles and that he is about to grasp what dancing means to him, on top of him being full to the brim with emotions (mostly anger/frustration that he directs at himself) and that he is about to unleash these.
That moment when Hyoudou started to grin like a maniac
and when Chinatsu came really close to Tatara's face at the end (?) of the song as if she really felt Tatara's dance this time around ...
next ep please.

It was a good ep.
They made Akira seem dumb as shit regarding dancing, which ties in to Chinatsu's comment that their success as a pair was entirely due to her leading. That said, the ep made it out as if everybody except Hyodo had subpar insight into Tatara and his pair in general. Just even the idea that you can stuff around as a pair during prelims seemed foreign to them. The only other person to share such a thought (that experimenting in prelims was okay) was Sengoku.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That's because the two are dysfunctional, which means they are abnormal, therefore very few would consider their actions as something acceptable, much less positive. Hyodo himself states that Tatara always evolves in a twisted way while carrying all that baggage.
Peace.
I think one of the reasons why they don't see it is because Tatara and Chinatsu are "beginners" in terms of official matches.
Wouldn't it be far more reasonable to think that they go all out from the very beginning, since they are only D-class.
I don't really think that they are "experimenting" in the first place. They struggled to perform as a team. They are currently "training" (as in finding themselves) on the floor and that is indeed odd because that is something that should've been done prior to the match.
And as someone who trained together with them, it's far easier and obvious to see mistakes compared to how they would perform when they are in top shape, especially if they are also interested in how they perform.
If Germany plays soccer against Luxembourg, I'm more inclined to see the mistakes of the German team and I ignore the fact that they, even at their worst, are most likely playing several levels above Luxembourg.

Your mindset can be totally different in a competition than it is while training.
Thus you behave and perform very differently.
The odd thing about Chinatsu and Tatara is that they tend to get better in that setting.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
19 is out:
Disappointed in this one, broke the pace with a long flashback. Nice to see more insight on these side characters and their motivations, but it should've come earlier, not in an episode right after Tatatara had some sort of epiphany.
Who the heck cares about a fatty's motivation anyway?
Peace.
