Welcome to the ballroom. Welcome to the dance hall

Well, in general, everything is in the spirit of standard sports competitions. Why did you start watching? (because I wasn’t particularly interested in dancing, the sport itself, I didn’t know anything at all). I learned a lot about what this sport and dancing itself are. In principle, the plot is not even bad, it was interesting to watch, but sometimes it got boring and it was necessary to take breaks. If you compare how they dance here or in reality, then most of all I like it as shown in the anime. (I don’t know why). The humor here is also good and will make you smile, but sometimes silly jokes. As for the heroes, it’s more or less clear; they all have their own cockroaches, habits and characteristics. The picture is very good, nice to look at. Regarding the music, it’s not very good, mostly when they show a dance, they put in the wrong music, and the presentation of the picture gets a little lost. I wasn’t particularly worried about the characters, they didn’t push it too hard. I recommend it for relaxing viewing!

Ratings for:

(These assessments and opinions are purely based on my criteria and quirks)

Wow, how something really touched me here, as if they played on the strings of my soul and heart so powerfully that it almost brought me to tears. I’ll start with the fact that I was hooked here, during my short 20-year life I tried many sports, namely to engage in and perform not only amateurly but also professionally (Aikido, basketball, volleyball, handball, the notorious football didn’t work, cheerleading, OMG chessO_O) , and in fact, I have always been very closed and unsure of myself, and I have always been lucky with teams, since there were always new acquaintances who became close friends. Leaders and real assistants who will always cover their back and help with advice and deeds, and sometimes on purpose and they’ll laugh at me if I see stars, in general, real comrades. I cannot call myself an athlete for the simple reason that I do not follow the precepts of sports and do not really lead healthy image life. So, usually at competitions it always seemed to me that the most important thing is hatred of the opponent, a cruel team spirit that tears and strives for 1st place, overshadowing everyone, but in life, little by little competition after competition, I began to understand that there are strangers around teams, but for some reason there is no hatred or anger, all the clubs are great friends with each other and the guys-athletes with whom I had to perform under the same dome from different teams, clubs, and even sections and directions were absolutely friendly and friendly in their own way, and this is exactly conveyed in this anime.
So, since this anime is mainly about sports (dancing), or rather what it is based on, the GG is quite default from the beginning - a rag, but it has potential - okay, good, and yes, there are people who can only use emotions do everything perfectly and elegantly and the GG is exactly like that, the art, the style, the camera conveys all the emotions of the characters, their experiences, the sensations inside, the outburst, the elation, the comradely discord, everything, everything, everything is in this anime, absolutely, they are really alive.
Let's essentially, GG really evolves with each episode, and by the way, towards the end, the facial features and character of his idol and teacher will be clearly visible in him, which will light a fire in his chest, which will flare up thanks to the support of friends, with unpleasant failures , effort and faith in dancing.
The plot is excellent, linear, logical, dynamic
Characters - 10/10 developed characters and detailed details
The duration of the 24th episode is justified, since there is dynamics and small, I repeat small flashbacks and memories

Penetration into the atmosphere - 10/10 I even wanted to try myself in the form ballroom dancing, (Sengoku’s very first expression was especially disturbing - LOOK AT ME!)
Musical accompaniment - perfect
But. One thing I didn’t like is that there is no romance here as such, so close this tag with your finger, the romance here is so much in its infancy, or rather not just in its infancy, but in the project only, GG does not experience any romantic feelings at all to whom, and to him no one, there is no romance here - STOP! (although if there was, it would be simply gorgeous, a cherry with whipped cream on a huge cake)
So 9/10 for unjustified romance, unless of course it’s our moderation that confused the tags a little, then I’ll give it 10/10, although if it really positions itself as romance in Japan, then minus point(
In general, I wish you to experience all the emotions that the heroes experience.
And a little about humor - there is a lot of it and sooooo many moments when I didn’t lose a smile all over my face and just a “laughing grin”, here you won’t just waste time, good luck!

Oh, with what pleasure I would watch this story if I were in leading role, let's say Hedo. Those. a talented person who has worked hard since childhood,
a perfectionist who strives for ever higher standards, with his cockroaches, and difficult relationship with a partner. And who, with all this, is constantly “stepping on the heels” of all sorts of Tatars (“opening their mouths at someone else’s…” ahem). Or at least, say, Kugimiya - a person who puts his whole soul into dancing, but on whose path someone better or, rather, luckier, constantly appears.
But no. This is an ordinary calm with us, with an ordinary OYASH and an ordinary scenario.

So, we have Tatara-OYASH, who in his sleep and spirit has never heard of any dances, but who still has hellish “OYASHE-luck” (tm): he, of course, ends up in in the right place and in right time. And, of course, in addition to OYAShe-pressure, there is also a “hidden super-power” dormant in him, that is, excuse me, a huge talent for sports dancing. And of course, this very “talent” is immediately noticed by people with a trained eye, starting with OYASH, rushing around and helping to develop hidden potential. And when the script comes to a dead end, and gradually drowns in OYASH snot of the sample “oh why am I not as cool as those dudes! ” (= having devoted all their time to dancing since childhood), fate sends him a typical tsundera as a mate. Which for some reason makes the audience go crazy, and makes me yawn uncontrollably. They form a couple and the most boring second half of the series begins, concentrated on building the relationship between these two (= single-functional and therefore completely uninteresting) characters and trying to somehow dance. They take part in some kind of competitions, but spectacular ones dance numbers for timing - the cat cried, but with reflections and “searching for oneself” - you can just get bogged down. That's the whole plot of the 24 (!) episodes. Logical completion history - as expected, no. Should all this be considered spoilers?..

However, despite the above, for some reason there was no desire to quit this whole disastrous business halfway. Masochism? Only partly. But mostly, the way the series is made still plays a role.
Firstly, the theme is really fresh, and this is 90% of the success of this project. Although they didn’t allocate as much time for the dances themselves as we would like, it all looked very beautiful (especially in the first half of the series, when they showed other dancers, and not just “walking through the torment of the GG”).
Secondly - style. Many people criticize these unrealistic broken bodies and “necks of giraffes” (and the main thread of the plot is realistic, right?.. then why would you want realism in the rest...) - but it looks unusual. Which is always a plus.
Thirdly, the secondary characters. There was still someone to look at, taking a break from foreground. For myself, I highlight Hedo and Sengoku in the first half, and Kugimiya in the second. Female characters, unfortunately, were left completely “overboard”. Despite the fact that the topic “The role of a partner in dancing” periodically came up, there was no one here to proudly carry it. Either they didn’t really reveal it (Hanaoka, Chizuru, Idogawa), or they revealed it in such a way that they began to feel very nauseous in the process (Chinatsu, Mako, Akira).
Fourthly, the directing pulled me out. Not always, but it is clearly visible that the person tried his best.
Fifthly, the music (it would be strange, of course, if it were bad in a dance anime, to be honest, but still). The opening and closing themes are not memorable, but in the middle (especially in the first half of the series again) they are quite memorable musical themes met.
And sixthly, there remains a desire to see a continuation. It would be more accurate to say - the desire to “get to know better” minor characters and watch their accomplishments.
This is probably all the advantages.

In the end, I can’t say that this is a real hit (I don’t understand why the public appreciated what was happening so highly). Killing time will go well. Especially for those who are interested in dancing, and who are not yet tired of the “classical” (let’s call it that) calm plots. The series simply has no competitors in terms of the chosen sport, but if we consider the genre as a whole, there are much better examples. And more. And this despite the fact that I am not a big fan of sports anime.
In short, for this series I have no other name other than “genre middling”. And therefore the assessment will correspond to this name.

In the world of Naruto, two years flew by unnoticed. Former newcomers joined the ranks of experienced shinobi at the rank of chunin and jonin. The main characters did not sit still - each became a student of one of the legendary Sannin - the three great ninjas of Konoha. The guy in orange continued his training with the wise but eccentric Jiraiya, gradually ascending to new level combat skill. Sakura became the assistant and confidant of the healer Tsunade, the new leader of the Leaf Village. Well, Sasuke, whose pride led to his expulsion from Konoha, entered into a temporary alliance with the sinister Orochimaru, and each believes that they are only using the other for the time being.

The brief respite ended, and events in Once again rushed with hurricane speed. In Konoha, the seeds of old strife sown by the first Hokage are sprouting again. The mysterious Akatsuki leader has set in motion a plan for world domination. There is turmoil in the Sand Village and neighboring countries, old secrets are resurfacing everywhere, and it is clear that someday the bills will have to be paid. The long-awaited continuation of the manga inspired new life into the series and new hope into the hearts of countless fans!

    Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin blue-eyed youth in tracksuit.

The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-in-cheek Mayu, who worked as a shinki—Yato’s Sacred Weapon—for many years, left her master. And without weapons younger god no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician, you have to (what a shame!) hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial being anyway?

It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side.” Having met Yato there and recognizing the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between worlds. But, having gotten to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally guide the tramp on the right path: first, find a weapon for the unlucky one, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens.

    IN high school Suimei University of Arts has many dormitories, and there are apartment building"Sakura". While hostels have strict rules, everything is possible at Sakura, which is why its local nickname is “madhouse.” Since in art genius and madness are always somewhere nearby, the inhabitants of the “cherry orchard” are talented and interesting guys who are too far out of the “swamp”. Take, for example, the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only via the Internet and telephone. Compared to them, the main character Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a “psychiatric hospital” just for... loving cats!

    Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the hostel, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet his cousin Mashiro, who transfers to their school from distant Britain. The fragile blonde seemed like a real bright angel to Kanda. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest behaved stiffly and said little, but the newly minted admirer attributed everything to understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress awaited Sorata in the morning when he went to wake up Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new friend - great artist absolutely out of this world, that is, she’s not even able to dress herself! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already practiced on cats!

    The first half of the anime (up to episode 12) was super cool, I watched it avidly. Then it became very boring, so I had to finish watching it purely out of respect for part 1.

    1

    #6 Warielle 23.01.2018 21:42

    Clearly overkill. And in everything. In faces, in conversations, in bends and steps.
    Halfway through the anime everyone is lamenting how cool Shizuku is, in the second half how gorgeous Chi is. If the first one is at least good, then in the second I see nothing but selfishness and obstinacy. And 15 episodes of stupidly disassembling how they don’t fit together is again too much. And everyone says that this is GG’s mistake. yeah. Moreover, as soon as a shift is felt, they immediately start all over again, and again, and again. I understand that there must be tension, but it’s always unclear what you get tired of watching, not to mention the fact that in reality they would just stupidly separate.
    

    Even in the penultimate episode, he’s already doing great, she feels the power aaaand... everyone starts again “oh, his dressmaker is resisting his dance” rukatso omg


    In addition to all this, the dynamism of the music and dance is lacking. All dances are stupid conversations either with oneself or with others (although the first half was still nothing), that is, there are no such clear visual delights as in the same Yuri on Ice.
    The idea and art are good, but I stupidly rewinded the episodes and didn’t even really miss anything. krch, 3/10

    The first episode was simply mind blowing! I really liked the anime. These movements are so beautiful... I just want to take this square and repeat it after them^^
    Although at first I didn’t even pay attention to him. I'm looking forward to the continuation!

    Very cool poster *O* I hope they will be just as beautiful in the story~
    The themes that anime draws on never cease to amaze. I think it will be interesting to look at this.
