Hi I'm Dranzerstorm
You may remember me as a regular contestant on the caption battle contest.
Welcome to Retro Retrospective, my world dedicated to the old guard of the Otaku world; expect some reviews of the old & obscure, and in-depth geeky knowledge with the occasional top ten and I now have a logo.

Little info about me
Well I'm British and I'm in to all things animated and nostalgia.
I've grown up with every cartoon going and have watched hundreds of anime.
Oh and to answer a question I was asked once, no I don't wear glasses in real life, I would wear Loke's sunglasses though.

Welcome to the Ballroom Review

Now for something completely different.

Tatara Fujita is a student with no goals to pursue or a future he can put his energy into until a chance encounter with Sengoku, a professional ballroom dancer draws him into the very dance studio he was standing outside of, with an uncanny ability to learn by watching and perhaps tempted by Shizuku also practising in the same dance studio, Tatara's path is drawn into the magnificent world of dance sport as he aims to someday go pro, his route however may not be the most straight forward.
Fun fact, the British initially created the TV dance show Dancing with the Stars but our version is called Strictly Come Dancing which is based on an even older British dance show simply named Come Dancing.
TV trivia aside, this anime is so unique from the art and characters to the animation and story, it fully embraces the world of Ballroom and treats it like a canvas of artistic movement, it displays a fierce passion as fiery as an Argentine Tango, an elegance of a Viennese Waltz, the rich vibrant colour palette of a Spanish Paso Doble and the fun frolicks of an American Foxtrot.
It never fails to keep things interesting especially with larger than life characters like Sengoku about, you'll find that despite being a very niche subject for a sports anime it can be just as intense as more traditional sports.
Don't believe there is a dub but I can only see it working if they got someone good to voice Sengoku, strangely there is a German dub.
Final Verdict: Any fan of artsy and sports anime will definitely find alot to enjoy in this series, even if it's just a curiosity, you'll find that the charisma of the dance choreography alone will draw you in.
