i was a bit disappointed. [sort of spoilers]
When I watched the trailer, I was hooked. After I saw the trailer, I discovered that it was based on a manga, so I went ahead and read it. In the manga, the sexual tension, their chemistry, and the overall storyline were top-notch. I was very excited and was looking forward to how they were gonna portray these, especially the sexual tension.
And just as I feared. lots of parts, AND I MEAN A LOT of scenes, were not included in the movie. The movie did not include any tension before the "mystery of the black dressed yagami-san."
They did not include the part where Latin-Shinya got so happy after dancing as the woman with Ballroom-Shinya. Manga Latin-Shinya was jumping up and down because he felt like a princess. They just showed that Latin-Shinya only understood that the woman needs to be fully supported by the man.
the movie fully cut off Lantin-Shinya's family issues. The issues with his dad and his maternal family in Cuba, with 9 sisters, the reason why he didn't go international. The movie didn't show how Latin-Shinya rebelled against his father. How his opponents thought he deserved to be in the first place.
They didn't include the sponsor that Ballroom-Shinya got for Latin-Shinya, and they fought because of this.
the movie only showed that Latin-Shinya found Ballroom-Shinya dancing in the snow, but they didn't show that they also danced in the snow together.
the movie didn't show that Latin-Shinya was having a gay-awakening, although he said he likes girls.
where are Norman and angie? Norman was supposed to teach Latin-Shinya? I really wanted to see his Cheetahs.
the Latin world champions were missing too.
I only read up to vol 6. But I found so much lackings in the movie. Other viewers who didn't read the manga are questioning the lack of relationship development.
