| Ufotable would've been a better choice to animate Medalist for those epic movements. I'm not liking how the cgi looks though. Finger crossed they don't butcher it. 🤞 |

I'm looking at the gifs in your sig and it's wild how much more fluid and natural they look in comparison. Engi has had since March to cook and if this is the best they could come up with then yeah for their second PV when it comes out on January, the yeah the series is completely fucked.
If they weren't busy with the second season of Shanfro, Studio C2C would have been great as well.

Not sure if it'll be good but, the pv screams average production, ugh.I'm looking at the gifs in your sig and it's wild how much more fluid and natural they look in comparison.

| One day we will get a female sports anime that isn't terrible. Sadly this isn't it. |

| @Calal-Chan Why? This is one of the most popular sports titles at the moment. |
 |
| Will ENGI finally make a good anime? Cross your fingers. |

| @RobertBobert Mostly mocking the studios animation. Enji has never made a good show and this trailer doesn't really impress me and it is PV2 so this is probably the best they have. The Manga just has such good art and will most likely be the only real way to experience the story due to the adaptation having poor animation, directing, music, you name it. Basically a part of ice skating is the beauty and grace which this trailer just doesn't have. I am just a picky soul who wants more for something that could have been greatness. |

| @doomrider7 Sadly you are pretty much right. They are either poorly animated or a cute girls doing cute things. I can name so many serious sports shows centered around males that are well animated and tell an interesting story, but basically zero female centered ones. |
