Looks like Shizuku is doing her specialty, making lewd faces.

>>162072599
Shizuku strikes a weird balance between being a pretty doormat and being a strong independent woman.

>>162072725
Her personality seems to switch in between normal life and dancing. When it comes to dance she's very straightforward and can even come off as a bitch, but outside of dancing she's a bit of a doormat who acts completely different.

>>162070745
Please tell me this is the last Tenpei episode. It's starting to drag on and I really just want to see Chinatsu.

>>162072840
Hm I suppose you're right, it does look like it. I still don't like her though. It's weird how this anime reverses my tastes for anime girls. On the paper I should like tall dark and beautiful Shizuku more than kawai ugu Mako but in practice the reverse happened.

Next ep is definitely the end of this arc. Then she'll either appear in the episode after that or two episodes after. But if I had to guess, I'd say she's going to pop up in the first ep of the second cour.

How was the episode? Awarding next episode?

>>162073015
Yeah, it's a bit jarring seeing how different she is in both settings. It's why I'm hoping the next arc in the manga is at least partly focused on her. I don't hate her like a lot of people seem to, but I do think she's a bland character compared to the other main dancers of this series.

>>162073168
Looks like it. Nips were complaining about the animation, or moreseo the lack of animation is a better way of putting it.

>>162073074
Jesus. I don't remember this arc dragging so hard in the manga.

>>162073276

I do. It was like 1 chapter per dance or some shit.

>>162073253

I was never fond of the 'animation' so I just skip them and watch everything else. I can't wait to hear Chinatsu's voice.

So with only 13 episodes left, it's impossible for the Metropolitan cup arc to be animated, right? Then what's the point to follow this anime if they not animate the best arc? Unless they have already planned a 3rd arc for this show in the future.

Oh well, at least I'll get to see Chinatsu in this blue dress.

I think they explained it early on. She adapts to whatever personality she needs to on the dance floor in order to match with whatever the type of dance is perfectly. Look how sensual she was during that latin dance with Hyoudou, and Hyoudou himself was the same way despite being a legit autist who is emotionless 99% of the time. In the manga Tatara is kind of doing the same thing. He ends up transforming himself to become the ideal to whoever his partner is.

Coincidence, maybe?

>>162074217
At least Dancefag was nice enough to share with us the early chapter and he translated it too.

This arc has become such a cancerous snailfest.

>>162074630
Yeah, what was the director thinking? Jesus. It takes too long and unnecessary drag out.

This director was a mistake.
The sound director was a even bigger msitake.
Animator dying was a tragedy.
Almost just close-ups of faces and dumb commentary and music for dramatic effect.
Also, this episode was done by the second team, all off.
Mako cuteness is not enough to endure this torture.

>>162074755
Meh, at this point I don't care for the anime anymore. I just hope the author won't die for the next 5 years and she'll finish this manga by that time.

I seriously doubt that.

I didn't realize /a/ hated this show so much. I'm really enjoying it so that's too bad.

The fact that this thread is so dead only proves that the only things that kept this threads alive were the NTRposters and the shippers. At least the the manga threads there is new shit to talk about.

why don't they use motion capture and cgi?
this slide show is ridiculous.

>>162075779
From the preview it looks like they are saving it up for next ep. But yeah, there was no actual dancing this ep. Just more stills and Shizuku making lewd faces while the camera pans over her.

>>162075773
I don't care anymore, there's nothing else to say at this point, I'll probably abstain myself from posting next time.

>>162075779
Because they have standards? Mocap and CGI would look absolutely hideous. If there's one thing great about this show, it's that the art is consistent. Very little QUALITY and lots of high detail artwork.

So when is the new manga chapter coming out anyway?

>>162075906
Came out a few days ago and we had a thread. Dancefag translated it for us.

>>162075906
This month's already came out a few days ago. Next month's more or less at the same time

>>162075906
Next month, dude. It's monthly manga. In case you're missing, we have a thread about this month's chapter. You might want to search the archive for that.
>>162075757
/a/ doesn't hate it, more like they don't care about this show and this arc is prolonged and boring them to death, I think.
>>162075773
The shippers were okay, they didn't shit up the threads and the NTR shitposters already left long time ago. We just don't like to circle jerk and we patiently wait for new contents to come out and talk.

Better a slow thread than a fast one filled with people like you.

As a ballroom dancer, the latest episode flat out made up a fake rule. This isn't a difference between Japanese ballroom dance and American ballroom dance. The dance they're doing (the waltz), belongs to a category of ballroom known as International Standard. The judging criteria for it in competition is universally uniform. I personally have been judged on the waltz by a judge flown over directly from Russia, that's how uniform the judging criteria for it is. There is no way to defend what Welcome to the Ballroom just did. It flat out lied about the rules of the sport, something that would get most sports anime cancelled immediately.

There's taking some minor liberties with accuracy for the sake of drama in a sports anime, and then there's flat out making up fake rules for the sport. The former is widespread in sports anime, the latter was practically unheard of until this week. I can't overstate how egregious and unheard of this is. Of course I wanted Welcome to the Ballroom to be successful, I was hoping it would help a wider audience see part of what made me fall in love with ballroom dance. But after all the missteps it already made that gave me reason for pause, it just crossed an uncrossable line. That's inexcusable. I'm not so sure that I want the anime to be successful anymore, since that would be rewarding such egregious behavior. It's like the writers aren't even trying and are just relying on the fact that almost all of their audience knows nothing about ballroom dance. There's no reason to celebrate that, the universal reaction to that should be condemnation. How anyone can like this misogynistic drivel is beyond me

>>162081426
contain your autism you roastie

>>162081426
Agreed. Maybe it's a reflection of its shounen origins, but I've found Ballroom especially annoying for its patriarchal presentation of gender roles. The girls have little agency, depending as Mako did for their partners to "make them bloom." The female characters are treated like property for the males to fight over. What little I've read about competitive ballroom dancing stresses the partnership aspects of the sport. This whole "frame and flower" business makes it appear the women are just there to be ornamental and not athletes in their own right. The whole presentation seems about fifty years out-of-date.

>>162081426
What rule specifically?

>>162081426

Seeing someone blow a gasket over the procedures and judging format makes the anime more attractive, though. Means there might be something to this show. May be worth picking up

Contrast with Yuri! on Ice for instance, which based on discussions of the show is about professional faggots, not skaters.
