Manga 'Medalist' Gets TV Anime

I miss when people inside the anime culture didn't complain so much the second they see a loli character.

Not all loli stuff is sexual (the book doesn't decide what the word loli presents IN anime, shut up please)

Japanese people call short petite women loli all the time, to them it refers to a small and youthful person, and has nothing to do with porn.....

But it honestly kind of disgusts me that people see a loli, or see the word loli, and immediately want to make it about real children being abused.

Can yall either shut up or find a new hobby/fandom to harass???

I don't remember us inviting you guys to the party... Most of yall were the people who didn't invite weebs to parties either.

Just enjoy/dislike the product for "what it is", regardless if it's about a loli or not, and regardless if people use the word loli or not.

To any non-tourist out there who likes anime(especially those who were fans of anime before Covid happened), loli just means small anime girl. It types a lot faster than saying small anime girl, it differs 12 letters including the spaces. Get over it you whiny crybabies. The word loli isn't going anywhere, you either adapt to what it means inside anime, or just leave?

If it bothers you too much to immediately need to make a scene about it. You clearly don't fit in with the culture, because back in the day this culture didn't b*tch about everything. Especially not such utterly inconsequential worries. Complaining about the meaning of the word loli isn't saving any children for f*cks sake guys... Especially not if you take the meaning inside anime culture....

It wasn't porn rotten people who slapped the term loli onto anime characters. It was Japanese people inside the culture themselves.

Loli, Shota, Shounen, Shoujo. These are merely descriptors for age ranges and target demographics to Japanese people. And a lot of people who were fans long before you spiteful insecure haters arrived used these terms in basic reference with no hidden meaning behind them.

Literally get over yourselves.

Loli is shorthand from Lolita, the title of an 1953 novel written by russian-american author Vladimir Nabokov. It tells the retrospective story of 40-something guy and a 13 year old girl who sent him to prison. Initially the book got banned in several countries. So loli does indeed mean that.

@badabass
Thus far Medalist the anime has been splendid and it's not just ENGI Studio creating it but also a lot of OEMs working for them. Scriptwriter is Jukki Hanada and his name really can't be ignored.
On the other hand, manga readers complain endlessly that anime adaptation has made minor character trait alterations while translating the still images story to moving picture. They learned nothing from Oshi No Ko... (If there's a thing worth attention in OnK then it's the parts which explain a manga story cannot be 1-to-1 copied to motion, be it a TV show or a theatrical musical.)

@missslauraa I'm sorry but are you new to anime? She is a loli, it is a character design term. Get off of twitter, loli doesn't automatically mean something lewd. To the people who want her to be a love interest though... yeah they have brainrot for sure.

I can see this become bocchi the rock but sport, until, i, saw, the studio.

Come on now kadokawa. Stop playing around.

@missslauraa this is so funny but they do need help

Hmm, maybe I should stick to the manga for now.

Very based. Yup, same

Exactly! Why in the hell isnt that the first thing that comes to mind, a literal trainer and a child just learning to ice skate, but instead refering to her as a loli??? porn.rotted brains frfr. Also asking if she has a love interest..... why would you want to see a romance between two 10 year olds... weird... but guess who it was again hahahhaha anywho, men yuck

Good for you but I think they are C-tier studio. For an S-tier source material we atleast deserve a A-tier studio.

Why all the ENGI hate? I've never seen them do a bad adaptation?

I love everything that Doga Kobo has done though. They're one of the best.

Studio ENGI is amazing. I have yet to be disappointed by anything they've done.

I hope so too, I agree!

nah fr, rubs me the wrong way since loli gets used as some disgusting interest for child bodies while this character is a literal child. porn-rotted brains. I don't even know why it's weird to some people that an adult is helping a child with her skating? you think trainers don't exist in real life ?? seek help xx

A lot of hate for ENGI in here, meanwhile I think that with their new anime adaptations coming, that tune will change starting with this one 

It's making me nauseous how some people here can look at a 10/11 year old and refer to her as a loli, or in this manga, asking if she has a love interest. SHE IS 10 FFS PLEASE GO SEE A PROFFESSIONAL.

Edit: Nevermind, I misunderstood it.

Didn't read tho but I guess so?

Not at all surprised to see that this is getting an adaptation. Looks like I can wait to watch this whenever it comes out since I'm already waiting on the manga to get more chapters in (or to completely finish even) before I read it anyways.

I see, thanks.

Thanks for the explaining.
