「友達」 (Tomodachi)
“Friends”
If I were to be totally honest, the last couple of episodes of Ballroom e Youkoso have not been the strongest in the series for me.

「Talk of the Devil, and He is Sure to Appear」
Sometimes a lack of surprises can be a good thing.

「敵(ライバル)」 (Rivals)
“Rivals”
One thing Ballroom e Youkoso makes clear – no one ever said life is fair, and competitive dance is no exception.

「The Faerie Queene」
Earlier I called Kekkai Sensen’s Episode 6 the most visually striking anime ep of the season, but Mahoutsukai certainly re-stated its case in very strong terms.

「背番号13」 (Sebangou 13)
“Entry #13”
Is this an irresistible force proverbially meeting the immovable object? Well, no – it’s really worse than that.

「Love Conquers All」
There are a lot of important things happening here in the background (as there often are in this series) but what’s happening front and center is so profoundly unpleasant that it’s hard to get past it.

「表現者」 (Hyougensha)
“Performer”
The deeper we get into this show, the more what becomes important is that which makes Welcome to the Ballroom special, not what makes it flawed.

「Everything Must Have a Beginning」
If I’m honest, this isn’t my favorite arc in Mahoutsukai, though it’s not due to any lack of quality.

「四本足」 (Yonhon Ashi)
“Four Legs”
You know, one of the key measures of a series is whether or not it improves as it progresses.

「The Balance Distinguishes Not Between Gold and Lead」
This was just sad and beautiful – nothing else is as important as that.
