「現実」 (Genjitsu)
“Reality”
There are definitely times when watching Ballroom e Youkoso that my abject lack of knowledge about ballroom dancing frustrates me.
Ballroom e Youkoso – 06

「ライン・オブ・ダンス」 (Rain Obu Dansu)
“Line of Dance”
With the last couple of episodes, I’m really starting to appreciate just what all the fuss was about.

「ダンサーズ・ハイ/ パートナー」 (Dansaazu Hai/Paatonazu)
“Dancer’s High/Partners”
Welcome to the Ballroom is certainly full of shounen tropes, of that there can be no doubt. But it works in spite (and maybe even a little bit because) of that.

「ワルツを踊れ」 (Waltz wo Odore)
“Dance the Waltz”
This might not be a bad time for younger anime fans to Google “Wally Pipp”.

「兵藤清春」 (Kiyoharu Hyoudou)
“Kiyoharu Hyoudou”
In the final analysis, I think expectations will have a lot to do with how this series is perceived.

「小笠原ダンススタジオへようこそ」 (Ogasawara Dansu Sutajio e Youkoso)
“Welcome to Ogasawara Dance Studio”
To be honest, my initial take on Ballroom e Youkoso was “Dance Haikyuu with Necks”.
Nanamaru Sanbatsu – 01

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「キミもクイズ王にならないか?」 (Kimi mo Kuizuou ni Naranai ka?)
“Don’t You Want to Become a Quiz King?”
I didn’t have a lot of sleeper picks going into this season, but Nana Maru San Batsu was definitely one of them.

「運命の赤い糸」 (Unmei no Akai Ito)
“Red String of Fate”
Every so often when a series ends what strikes me most is “that was a labor of love”.

I’ve got more to say of course, but to sum it up? It’s all good – every bit of it.
