One day, Haneru Tobitatsu, a middle school student who loves to dance, meets Kanon Otosaki, a girl who is also skilled at dancing, but is shy about doing it in public. As the two get to know each other, they team up with three other dancers, Kumo, Mizuki, and Yuzuru, to form the dance group Tribe Cool Crew. The series is currently being streamed on Crunchyroll
, and has been licensed for a physical release by Sentai Filmworks.
Tropes:
- 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: All of the dancing scenes are done in CGI.
- Hostile Show Takeover: Crowd High hijacks Dance Road at the end of Episode 45.
- Robotic Reveal: Jey is revealed to be this, with the real Jey being in a coma.
- Spoiler Opening: Where to start? It shows many of the show's recurring characters before they are introduced and in the last shot it shows the five main characters dancing together with the Dance Road symbol on the stage floor.
- Theme Music Power-Up: For the final dance battle, once Jey is finally revived, the entire cast dances to an extended version of the main theme, Heartbeat.
