The February 2017 issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine is announcing on January 6 that an anime adaptation of Tomo Takeuchi's Welcome to the Ballroom (Ballroom e Yōkoso - Sweep Over the Dance Hall) manga has been green-lit.

Plot Summary
Feckless high school student Tatara Fujita wants to be good at something - anything. Unfortunately, he's about as average as a slouchy teen can be. The local bullies know this, and make it a habit to hit him up for cash, but all that changes when the debonair Kaname Sengoku sends them packing. Sengoku's not the neighborhood watch, though. He's a professional ballroom dancer. And once Tatara Fujita gets pulled into the world of the ballroom, his life will never be the same.

WHAT!? this manga getting adaptation? why????

The story itself is not bad but some aspects are frustrating as hell, I wonder how much they will adapt.

With the art that this title has, my options are Bones or Kyoani because who else can do it?

A rare 2017 announcement that doesn't suck!

abhjetgon · 2016-12-28, 01:37

Hell yeah! Heard good stuff about manga, can't wait for further details.

Haak · 2016-12-28, 01:44

Get ready for a whole load of orgasm faces.

Diluc · 2016-12-28, 01:44

Indeed this is good news!!
Wonder if this mean we will see other series about ballroom to get anime too but i prefer if they adapt mangaka other work, Onani Master Kurosawa to get anime green light first.

AB079 · 2016-12-28, 01:48

Also it seems the freaking 1 year long hiatus is finally over with a new chapter incoming.

FlareKnight · 2016-12-28, 03:07

A nice announcement. Surprisingly a fair number of ballroom dancing material out there to adapt

~Yami~ · 2016-12-28, 03:09

perfect news... now I'm getting my chill hype-vibe again

I hope the art won't be much differ from manga

kuromitsu · 2016-12-28, 03:22

This was just a matter of time, but nice news, regardless. I wonder when it will start airing...

Stark700 · 2016-12-28, 10:46

Apparently, it's going to air for Summer 2017.

Cloudedmind · 2016-12-28, 10:57

After finding out that the mangaka is finally well enough to continue the manga, this is just the icing on the cake.

Now, to just wait for who the staff and studio will be.

Here's a small list for you:

(It's Production I.G., they're something of a big name studio.

Totally my bad, thanks for the reminder.

Well, considering the manga already have a really nice art I suppose this material is in good hands.

Stark700 · 2016-12-29, 12:19

Production I.G. is a good choice for the studio, the first one that actually came to my mind when I thought about the adaptation. Now I really hope they can make it into a 2-cour.

I also hope they pick some good music for this as it will be important for the dance choreography elements.

Guardian Enzo · 2016-12-29, 19:14

I would've preferred Bones or Madhouse but I.G. can do this justice. Itazu's involvement isn't a great sign for the unfinished Satoshi Kon film, though.
