Medalist

Medalist

Tsukasa Akeuraji always dreamed of becoming a competitive solo figure skater, but starting too late in life meant his ambitions never took off. Now barely making ends meet, he accepts a job as an assistant coach, resigned to a future far removed from the one he once envisioned. Before his first day, Tsukasa meets Inori Yuitsuka, a shy fifth grader sneaking into the rink to practice. Captivated by figure skating, yet held back by her mother's overprotectiveness and her own self-doubt, Inori has never been encouraged to pursue her passion until she encounters Tsukasa. Beneath her demeanor lies great potential, waiting to be unlocked with the right guidance. Moved by Inori's determination to change and reminded of his own struggles, Tsukasa offers to coach and help her chase the dream she has been too afraid to voice. While the road ahead is long and filled with unfamiliar challenges and rival skaters, Inori dedicates herself to the art and strives to one day reach the Olympics and become a medalist.

Ładna kreska, opening i dopracowana animacja jazdy (szczególnie odc.12), ciekawe postacie nie tylko główne. W fabule oprócz samej nauki jest walka ze ścianami i wew demonami. Ma potencjał na ciąg dalszy.
to jest ten typ sportówki, że aż chce się oglądać prawdziwy sport i dostrzegać piękno o którym się nie miało pojęcia. Pierwszy raz tak miałem po Hajime no Ippo jak doceniłem piękno boksu xD
Chyba najprzyjemniejsza sportówka jaką oglądałem od czasu Haykyuu. @KoLbI Rozumiem, że skoro zwierzęta, też Cię nie kręcą, to nie oglądasz Kubusia Puchatka?
a co tu jest niesmacznego, bo nie zauważyłem mimo najszczerszych chęci - widziałeś w ogóle to?
