| Episode 2 got leaked early today. Subs are out. A lot of other characters are introduced including members from the Ichirin High School Club. But hey, the practice dancing part didn't have CGI. I do like how Wanda is supporting him Kabo when he needs it the most by saying to imagine her at the end there. "So when you dance in front of people, imagine it's just me." He still has a lot of potential in this show. |

| “Dance like you’re just dancing in front of me” man literally the only thing holding this story back is the CGI. As a kpop stan this is like a dream come true because we getting to see the ins and outs of dance choreography and Kabo’s journey to become a full fledged dancer. I love that he starts out with zero sense of rhythm and nervous as hell, the show does a good job of making you feel that silliness and embarrassment that Kabo feels at the start, thinking you look silly and then you just gradually get into it and stop caring what everyone thinks. Him presumably being good at freestyle dancing makes so much sense because free styling doesn’t require you follow any guidelines or routine, it’s just you being yourself expressing yourself in ways words never could. Kabo, as someone who struggles to speak his mind, can use that as a means of communicating! It’s also just a really relatable story so far because most of the people watching this suck at dancing and would look just like Kabo, but I feel like it’s one of them things like drawing where everyone CAN be good at it. Most people just don’t have the patience/desire to invest time into getting better. Wanda continues to have the deadliest face card.. she’s so otherworldly gorgeous. My boy Kabo almost accidentally pulled her there too when he asked her to “go out” with him lol. Uru music soundtrack slaps, it’s just the CGI looking so odd that’s holding it back for now, but the story is really interesting |

Wanda's "I wanna dance" face is the definition of pure lmao Even with the CGI being ...how it is, the story and especially characters are gripping enough for it to not matter that much, or at least for now. Hope I don't eat my words when some emotional hype moment ends up looking too goofy to be taken seriously. |
| I can't, this CGI is just too much horrible for me. Maybe i read the manga in the future but for this anime, i stop here. |
 |
I love these shirts 😆   |
Me too man, me too 😔 |
| That was the exact opposite of what the male to female ratio that Kabo had in his mind before joining this dance club 😅❤️❤️ Dude's under immense pressure with all those girls surrounding him and being the only guy would totally make him stand out..Not to mention his stuttering problem. Yeah, the second year guy must not be coming to the club 'cause it's full of girls with not even a single guy around Lol.. Glad that Kabo has at least Wanda to rely on. The club prez is such a cutie pie. She's really enjoying seeing Wanda and Kabo dancing and improving together. Kabo is growing at a great pace with just a little bit of advice. Kabo really shocked Wanda by asking her out and then saying it was just to dance, haha He got Wanda's hopes up for no reason. It felt like she would have said ok right away. And her encouraging him to dance infront of others by asking him to imagine that he's ony dancing infront of her was so adorable. |
| When it comes to sports, performing & visual arts shows, or basically any one that focuses on the protagonist's hobby, an important matter for me is to feel the “passion” that the protagonist feels towards it. What does it mean for them, the greater role for it in their life and the story, etc... Only when I feel it can I really bring myself to enjoy such shows, but so far I can't say I feel even a semblance of it in Wandance, and the stiff animation and ugly CGI don't really help it. I know this is only the 2nd episode, but this is not promising for me. |
| The second episode was more interesting. They didn't overuse the CGI as much, and many of the animated scenes were very well done. I enjoy the story. The downside is when they add 3D, it loses intensity. |

| Ok I'm liking the way story is going and CG is not even bothering me much anymore, I've watched shows with this type of animations where mostly during dance scenes CG just comes in and tbh it doesn't bother me much now, my favorite part is wanda's voice and her sweet gimmicks |
| so yes, there is CGI , but the music, dialogues are well done for and it's not awful when they are dancing for me... |
| Having a great time when I watch anime or read manga is the most important thing for me... feel free to visit my IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) or Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) |
| Huh? What happend? Some parts from the Manga got just cut out? Where was the Switch from Up and down to Down and Up? That was a main part why On has high hopes for Kabo. All the Newbies besides him and Wanda where failing there.... And what was with the crab dance? Chapter two was so hard cutet. And even Wandas sentences in the end where 50% cutet. And for the Up and Down Moves - they got totally downgraded from what they did there in the Manga. And ye, the CGI was bad again, but ive seen worse, thats not the main problem here. We are in episode two and are already cutting stuff from the manga...Im so fucking sad. The Manga is so damn awesome. Read the Manga. The level of detail between Manga and Anime just in the moves they do is extreme. And you miss a lot of Story cause it gets trashed for what ever reason. PS: You get even the hint that they cut stuff out because the flashback when Kabo is telling what On said to them is a completely missing scene in that episode. We didnt saw why she told that. It was because they switched from Up and down to down and up... aaah men. I dont want to drop that Anime. Please dont fuck this so hard up... |

| I don't know, 3D can be worse, and the main problem here is probably the facial expressions, when 2D is replaced with them, it's really noticeable, but overall the episode is good and Wanda is just lovely. |
| We're lucky the CGI dance segments are short enough to tolerate how awful they are, because i really like this story so far. quite literally the only thing that's affecting my enjoyment for this, its literally uncanny valley lol |
 |
| I kinda like Kabo's inner thoughts during the club scenes--they remind me of when I started breaking years ago. The whole process was awkward yet rewarding! But also... this CG is awful. This whole show looks really, really ugly. I'll give it another episode, but if I'm not sold by then, I'll probably stop. |

| It’s wild how Wanda can have some of the cutest designs and expressions one moment, and some of the absolute worst the next. Like seriously, those faces she was making in the second half were adorable... ...and then I get jumpscared by that horrifying CGI dance at the end, sigh. Still, I’m really liking our main duo so far, so I guess I can power through for now. |
 |
| They are doing the most to show the least amount of dancing/movement animation as possible, really blatant in that last bit where Wanda was dancing. Tribe Cool Crew, an actual children's dancing anime from a decade ago CLEARS this series pretty much in every single aspect. |
| It's nice to see Kabo slowly start improving and both Wanda and the president of the dance club have noticed. What almost threw me off, and Wanda for that matter, was when he asked her out... to dance practice. Maybe when he gets better they will start going out for reals. |
| Wanda need some help to dance but he make already a good step on his way to be good with himself! |
 |
| Jojo pose!!!!!!! |
| I want this series to have a 6-month hiatus like Kimisen did. I can't watch 3D animations that bad. |
| I like everything but design of Wanda's eyes bothers me a lot. She looks like an alien. Luckily her face looks much more normal is CGI scenes. |
| Well I enjoyed this episode more, but damn the cg is so terribly jarring. Definitely it’s Achilles heal. |
 |
| Ichirin High's dance club, where females outweigh males 93 to 5, with Kabo just following the vibe with the other 1st years seeing their 3rd year Senpais practice dance moves under the leadership of club president On Miyao. And while Kabo is just getting his training started, albeit with the same stiffness that he always has, seeing Wanda and the others being already proficient in their moves, he can't help but feel like he's the odd one out. Still, he puts in the effort to do better both physically and mentally, and asking Wanda is the only way possible to get better at the dance craft, though the slip of the tongue to ask her out, almost threw her for a loop. Still, as the only guy in the sea of girls, Kabo feels the intimidation, but while his stuttering speech has aways to go, Uru's hip-hop music gets him going, and On can fel the vibe between him and Wanda alright. And as soon as the announcement for the team contest comes around, doing freestyle is for sure, a pressure he's never felt before for tryouts. And yes, the odd-looking 3DCG still retains its flavour in the midst of Kabo trying to make his own identity around dance. For now, having someone as a mentor, Wanda can absolutely be Kabo's "mirror" of inspiration. |
 |
| Oh, look at that. Kabo and I share the same knees, apparently. 3/5 episode. I swear Wanda's 3D hair has a life of its own. |
| The story is really good so far, and pretty unique, but the CG is so difficult to watch lmaoo. Maybe that's a sign I should just read the manga.... |
| Overall minus the CGI I am enjoying the anime so far; I know most say the rule is to wait to watch three episodes before making a decision, but I think after the first two episodes I am going to stick with the anime and keep watching! |
| this episode felt really nice to watch. i liked how it focused on kabo trying to find his rhythm, both in dance and with the people around him. using his basketball skills to understand movement was a really clever idea and made his progress feel natural. wanda keeps being this calm, supportive person who helps him feel more confident, and their connection feels really sweet. the cg still looks a bit weird, especially during wanda’s solo, but i’m getting used to it. the 2d parts feel more alive, especially when it’s just kabo and wanda practicing or talking. those simple moments are what make the show special. i really liked how this episode showed dance as a way to express feelings without words. when kabo asked wanda to practice with him, it felt like his way of saying he trusts her. even though the animation isn’t perfect, the story still feels warm and full of heart. |
| He has a sense of dance. He's gonna learn it faster :) |
