Care to elaborate? I didn't remember much Chinatsu-related getting cut so far.

This turned out better than I expected. Tatara and Chinatsu had to withdraw, but Tatara had a breakthrough and they managed to get marks by every judge and would have passed if he hadn't just suddenly stopped dancing.
The problems they're still having are due to their personalities IMO. Tatara is too submissive whereas Chinatsu is dominant and refuses to be led properly, perhaps unconsciously because she's so used to leading. I've noticed she's always grossed out when Tatara does something leader-like. Of course, it's not like you need to be as submissive as Mako to be a good partner, since Shizuku and the other Chi-chan are doing just fine, so it's more like the combination of their two opposite personalities associated with a mental block that's holding them back. Marisa wants to force Tatara to "take the reins", but he's already stated he didn't want to be a typical leader so maybe he'll find another way to make their pairing work.

Hmm.... Chinatsu voicing the exact same sentiments I have since last episode. Still wonder if it's a Japan thing still, but at least the author lampshades it.
Still, pretty hard to keep my sanity this episode, as ShizukuXHyodo is OFF the charts.

The show acknowledged Tatara and Chinatsu both have issues, but they put most of the blame on Tatara for being so wimpy and indecisive Chinatsu can't trust his lead. I can't say I completely disagree, but I thought he had made progress during the competition. Kinda seemed like that was thrown out of the window.
Chinatsu being jealous of Mako was cute.

I'm more understanding of the other crying scene that was skipped since it takes the focus away from Chinatsu-Tatara which the show's been concentrating on this cour. Some other scenes that served the same sort of purpose had been skipped previously, so I was sort of expecting that anyway. |

Kiyoharu is weird in general.
Good to see Tatara and Chinatsu doing well. Next week will give us Akira's point of view on her relationship with Chinatsu, apparently, which should be interesting.

Hyoudou is probably my favorite character in the story. Why he roots for Tatara is still something of a mystery (he might see Tatara as the rival he wants to have), but he has a better understanding of himself and his sport than the others sharing the bench with him, including megane-hime Shizuku.
This show has improved markedly over the past few episodes. Certainly the tension between Tatara and Chinatsu has had a lot to do with that, but it seems like the staff has upped their game in the second half, too. The dancing is better animated, and the choices of music more appropriate than in the first cour.

So anime will pass manga in point of the story. Seems like it might be similar but also different front what the author plans to do in the manga.

So we got Akira's side of things. I can definitely sympathize with her. Chinatsu has been the object of her admiration (love?) for so long, yet after they picked up dance, Chinatsu never looked back at her. I'd like to know how Chinatsu feels about Akira now. She definitely considered her a friend at first (even stood up for her against bullies), but it seemed all she cared about near the end were the competitions.

Maybe she could sense that Aki wasn't really interested in dancing like she was. Aki was just doing it to be near Chinatsu. Aki is Chinatsu-obsessed.
