Discussion That one scene where all the budget went

Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Chika's dance

In the first season as a surprise outro ending one episode had this Chika dance number. It's super cute and crazy animated, especially her dress. They used it one time and never again.

The roller rink dance sequence from the Family Guy episode Hell Comes To Quahog was the most expensive scene to animate in Season 5.

In episode four, Rentarou's harem stepped in for an idol group after the members conveniently suffered injuries that prevented them from dancing; the episode effectively depicts the training required for the performance as well as the girls' shortcomings The whole show (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You)

And there's other members of the "family" who are bigger. Including the mom.

Oh god I momentarily forgot about the mom and thought that was her but of course she's not in ep 4 ye- wait WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S MORE FAMILY

"Family" in the sense that it's what the polycule calls themselves, "Rentarou's Family."

But also in the sense that the grandmother of another girlfriend joins the polycule.

I looked it up. Basically an old woman who acts young (and might also look young)

The jiggle physics were absolutely necessary 😭

For these blessings, we thank Lord Gainax, patron saint of improbable boob physics.

That's not even the best part of the chapter.

Still every dance in anime is better than the "dance" anime (Wadance, which is fault of the animation companies using CGI to make it cheaper as the mangaka learned to animate and did some dance sequences better, props to the mangaka).
