Welcome to the Ballroom is an anime about ambitions and working hard towards reaching your dreams. Plot: Tatara Fujita is a middle school student who cant find something that stimulates him to the point of saying he is really passionate about it. Therefore it causes him to feel lost regarding his future. One day by pure chance he stumbles upon a ballroom class where a significant encounter happens. Any dream would be fine at this point so Tatara decides to cling to this newly discovered hobby. Characters: Although many personages are being introduced their presences wont be overlooked. Each character is well portayed and plays their own part in the show. Designs are done right and do not result repetitive what captures the attention mostly is the particular art style with marked eyes and eyelashes. Most of the characters do result strongwilled and hard working evolving continuously by having a steady goal in their mind and working towards it. An interesting point also is how the couples are shown to improve together slowly with some flashbacks added in instead of continuously relying on the partner. The main character in particular does evolve a lot through the series as may be expected. The whole concept of searching for a goal in life or a hobby that might change your routine is very realistic and interesting as the theme also touches how an outsider discovers and starts exploring a newfound field. Animations: Despite animations being well made the first half of the anime shows a lot of zoomedin pictures during ballroom competitions. The second half though compensates a bit for it taking in consideration how complicated might result to animate complete dancing scenes. Few of shown flaws are exceeding dancers postures including a dwelt neck portrayed to show us the setup difference between a dancing athletes body and not exercised persons shape. Being a sports anime the form is presented quite often and might also result repetitive. On the positive side many outstanding costumes will be on view as well as different hairstyles. The change between a character on stage and off it is very interesting. Both esthetically and personalitywise. The anime presents really few hardly noticeable sexual humor and a lot of comedy instead not leaving out the public being focused mainly on competitions and encouraging story with a slight drama added to it. An exciting experience overall if youre looking for motivation or some quality 24 episode sports series. Recommended if you enjoy competitive type of anime with a lot of quality elements and a lot of enthusiasm.
