    Did no one else here actually pick up that Akira is a lesbian from this episode?

    It's a pretty big deal worth mentioning.

    I kno right?

    They took all the tension away with this one.
    I'm not sure what to expect next though, it got somewhat interesting in the middle when Tatara said that "Chinatsu is the most beautiful in this room"

    I kinda like Aki due to her VA using her Clementine (Overlord) and Tanya Degurechaff (Youjo Senki) voice for her, which is kinda funny considering that she also voiced Komachi(8mans sister), Kayo (Inai Machi) or Yuuki from SAO... which are less psychotic characters.
    Seems so out of place for a (used to be) shy girl, but it's actually a nice fit for a character that is mostly bitchfighting in this show so far.

    edit: And that very very last bit did also get my attention.
    Ya...Yandere???? Just rewatched that part, that face is SCARY. She could potentially have directed that sentence @ Tatara and not Chinatsu, lol. And look at their faces, haha.

    Yuuki Aoi is in three or four shows airing this season.

    Not ONE of her characters sounds the same. Her range is pretty nuts.

    She's only a lesbian for Chinatsu, I don't know if it'd extrapolate out in general.

    Huh? I mean, they only spent one full episode hitting us in the head with it lol... but with how these sorts of relationships are portrayed in anime, one can't say definitively as to label her a lesbian. She has a thing for Hiyama. She could indeed be a lesbian, could be one of those full-on admiration things that anime always like to portray, she could be bisexual.

    But yeah, it was fairly obvious she has the hots for her.

    Perhaps slightly more note-worthy is that Kugimiya has a lot nicer to Tatara now that he sees him as a person instead of a black mass.

    What made Aki act less bitchy towards Chinatsu at the end of this epsiode?

    I didn't quite grasp what ended it.

    -Chinatsu looking at her.
    -Remembering that she actually likes Chinatsu
    -Remembering that dancing is fun because Chinatsu looks at her.

    Something like that.

    The build-up for the past 2 eps feels slightly disjointed with the Aki backstory, as much as I enjoy seeing Aki around. The story was talking about how Tatara will show his "own dancing" every now and again, then it was all put on hold for some Aki time.
    Now we've moved onto stretching and body flexibility, which sounds like something that would have been addressed as apart of Marissa's general physical training.
    Regardless of all of this, it's all going to be about Tatara's mindset anyway. He's shown in his previous fake-leading that he can move as dynamically as Chinatsu needs. He just generally doesn't do it.

    I'm just not going to bother with this episode, waiting for the next one.

    I think the stretching was overdoing it for this specific event, which will lead to Tatara realizing something about his dancing. It isn't something that should be done regularly. That screaming clearly wasn't normal.

    He's taking wider, longer steps.

    Chinatsu has been compared to western female dancers.

    Who else takes, huge flowing steps and often dances with overseas partners? Sengoku.

    That's my guess for what they're setting up here.

    Thing is, he could do that previously. He just doesn't choose to do it by default. When he shadowed Chinatsu, he could dance to her moves without her compromising her range of movement.

    Since he knows Chinatsu moves wide already, he should have already been putting in conscious effort to match her. He's capable.

    It's weird for it to not be addressed during regular training, and for it to be "suddenly" brought up now.

    That seems weird, but we'll go with it for now. I mean, if by stretching he realises he needs to be more dynamic, it won't change the fact that his body doesn't readily perform that way.

    It is possible that stretched Tatara will push Chinatsu's limits forward, giving Tatara the edge he needs to really lead the dance as he should...

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Episode 21

    -------------











    The first half of the episode can be described with one word: frustration.

    The second half explains why they're so shit mentally - because Marisa deliberately didn't teach them shit in that regard. it's still kinda weird how they can still dance "well" when Tatara's just scrambling for body control, just because Chiantsu is finally deciding to follow. Granted, it's like what David said, except it's forcing Chinatsu to think, not Tatara.

    It seems like they are going to end the show with that quickstep and more flashbacks.

    Eh, not really liking it, the first half of this ep was waaaay too long and didn't focus enough on Tatara and Chinatsu.
    They didn't really have to keep repeating how good the other pair is in standard etc.

    They re-told the same thing 3 times in less than 5 minutes.

    The anime has caught up with the source material, supposedly, so we are about to get a filler-ish ending.

    Takeuchi's full note reads:

    Thank you very much to everyone on the cast and staff for creating a wonderful anime.
    For the end game of Metropolitan Tournament, the original work and the anime were going to advance the story at the same pace, but the original work is falling behind so the anime will go ahead of it. The original work isn't finished, but I will convey my plans for it to advance.

    Furthermore, as I continue to work on the original, I will set my sights on developments that happen at the Metropolitan Tournament and after. I think I will release parts that differ from the anime, though they will start from the same plan, but I will be happy if people enjoy either the anime or the manga.

    I can already hear the screams and taste the tears from some other anime community far, far away.

    you wouldn't believe how pissed people get when the manga is behind the anime or the anime is different from the manga etc.

    Shouldn't they wait for the ending too see if it's a good or bad thing?
