Buddy Go!

Dance has always been Ai Shizukuishi's way of expressing herself: an outlet for her emotions that lets her truly be herself. Under the pseudonym "Ai," she s videos of her performances—during which she cross-dresses—to the platform Smile Douga. Despite gaining significant popularity, Ai remains focused on her goal of one day besting her idol, "dance prince" Hayate.

Ai's dance skills soon catch Hayate's attention, though he remains unaware that she is a girl. After the two participate in the same audition, they end up in an idol group called Buddyz and an all-male dance competition. To make things even more complicated, as Ai and Hayate's rivalry heats up, so do Hayate's romantic feelings toward Ai's female self.

I read its manga some time ago and found it very interesting, never thought it would have an anime adaptation.

The problem of the anime adaptation is the time: they're explaining only the most important parts of the manga in just 1 min. Another problem is that if you haven't read the manga, you'll be very lost. Everything is happening super fast (as was to suppose) that you can't understand what is going on.

The art and the characters are awesome, they're cute and well drawn.

Another thing that disliked me was the voice of the female character... They did not complement each other, I mean, ... the girl has an innocent and cute face but its voice says the opposite. It's like the voice of some male child.

In conclusion, I think that the anime has been made to its manga.

It's a shame that a nice manga is just having a few short episodes...

English subtitled
Note: not an anime but a marketing gimmick for the manga

Story:
In the small insights we see per episodes(1 minute long) the premise is a constant struggle with two identities. One being normal the other not so normal, in fact famous.

Art
-characters are drawn well
-animation is fine for the most part. Some minor flaws such as the wig. Putting long hair in a short wig takes more time than what was shown. And it certainly doesn't magically go away.
...
Sound
- the tempo of the music matched the song but it was the same tempo for each episode. The episodes aren't that long can't one spice it up?

Enjoyment: Reminds me greatly of hannah montana the american television show.
