The character design is excellent as well as the outfits especially Sana's, the voice cast is exceptional as well.

I'm still not used to Rie Kugimiya voicing characters who look older than 15.

Those outfits are cute but I'm going to be a possum in the ass and reiterate that they are terribly impractical for pole dancing.

Edit: Ha! Just noticed the autocorrect misfire. It's funny so I'm leaving it.

I know next to nothing about pole dancing, but can anyone actually do pole dancing in those type of outfits? I would've expected skimpier outfits tbh...

No. Skin sticks to metal; fabric does not. They'd slide straight to the floor.

I'd imagine the very first advice given was: "I don't think those cute frilly outfits are going to work."

Heck, those would feel at home better on the ice rink. But then, we already have PuraOre.

Some great VA's and some lovely ladies...well, I guess that's kind of a given for a poledancing anime Anime hyper.

Every real life, in person pole dancer I've seen starts in a lingerie like outfit and ends the dance completely naked.

It's anime though. All it takes to bend reality and laws of physics is someone willing to draw it bent.

I'd love to see the invoices turned in for this research....

Accountant: How the hell did you spend this much money?
Kaori: To even get in a room to study with a specialist was 40k¥, then it was another 5k¥ per song and all the songs were sped up!
Kaori's assistant: And then we had to buy drinks! That was another 10k¥. We tried to get in and out as quickly as possible but you know how these things go...

Quote:
Hinano worried about whether there was anything she could do for her grandmother and for the planetarium, and she coincidentally one day catches sight of a woman dancing on a pole under a starry sky.


I really want to see this scene of her just walking down a street and coming across a random pole with a lady like 8 ft in the air, upside down and sliding it while doing a split all as if this is just a normal thing to do when the weather is nice or something.

Maybe it's just my mind in the gutter, but the only stars I've ever associated with pole dancing are the type that are pasted on.

Jokes aside, this is an odd premise for a story. It'd be one thing if it were leaning hard into shameless fanservice since that doesn't require much thought, but it seems to be taking itself more seriously than that. The teaser gives off a feeling like a sports or idol show, but it's hard to imagine anything wholesome coming out with pole dancing as the major premise.

Alright, F it!

I'm in just as long as the pole dancing isn't crappy CGI mo-cap. Laughing

It's too ridiculous by kids anime standards, it would make sense in hentai or a regular anime for adults, you know seeing a drunk hostess or porn star swinging on a random pole giving the main character inspiration to start pole dancing, but not a high school student in a kids anime.

...or maybe they went to a pole dance studio? I don't want to wade back into the "is pole dancing inherently sexual" debate but you know there are places people go to learn how to do this, right?

Or maybe STUDIO TRANSFORM is itself a pole dancing studio and Kaori is an instructor?

Isn't all anime idol dance sequences CG mo-cap these days?
