Tatara Fujita is a shy middle schooler who has no particular plan for the future. He has gotten through life by avoiding any kind of confrontation and blending in with the crowd. But blending in isn't enough to get out of trouble, as some bullies harass him for money. Luckily, he is saved by a man named Kaname Sengoku. Kaname invites Tatara to his dance studio. Although he would normally never set foot in such a place, Tatara is captivated by Sengoku's commanding presence. Granted an opportunity to dance with fellow classmate Shizuku Hanaoka—who often practices at the studio—Tatara realizes there's something about the idea of being put in the limelight and dancing where people will see him that keeps him coming back. With an earnest, passionate drive to improve, Tatara begins his journey into the world of competitive dance. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Verified RatingThis is our last dance! The sparkling visuals and vocal tracks in this finale are mesmerizing~ ✨ I adore how dance is shown as a mixture of emotions: joy, sorrow, love, hate… It just makes everything, and everyone involved feel so interesting. The final round’s dance really captures Fujita’s incredible journey with incredible payoff!! Overall, this anime had its awkward moments, but it definitely sticks the landing.
Verified RatingIt’s a low moment for Fujita after realizing his fumbles, but a special person who’s been with him in the early parts of his journey has come to cheer him up~ What a sweet moment🥺I love the visual symbolism for Fujita-Chinatsu in this ep… it’s so extra lol. And the history of the Kugimiya-Idogawa pair is actually pretty interesting. It's cool that this gloomy guy and strange gal aren’t willing to lose!
Verified RatingWOW, some solid Kugimiya backstory. The shift from his young, wide-eyed idealist past self to his jaded current self is so sadly relatable... This ep captures the dark side of the dancing world. But it also doesn’t forget to show us that despite the hidden gloom, the outward brilliance of dancing keeps our dancers going! LOVE the payoff for Fujita and Chinatsu~
