S2 is gonna be so good when it airs. I can't wait.
What's the appeal of this show?
>>282257462Figure skating.
>>282257462Cheering for cute girls (and a boy).
I didn't realise there were so many volumes of the manga out in English.
>>282257462Hot-blooded sports action.Little girls.
S01E05 was the only good performance so farwill there be anything like that in S2?
>>282261546There's almost no Hikaru in this season.
>>282257462Pokemon but with lolis (and a shota)
>>282257427I thought this thing flopped?
>read the latest chapter>see this>yuri is still strongnice.
>>282260803>Hot-blooded sports action.I wishThe writing is pretty weak on the hot blooded side
>>282262065I want to see them become a couple.
>>282257427My investment immediately plummeted when the time-skip happened.
>>282257462sexy children
>>282262065>a yuri ship so manly it's basically just stereotypical rivalry yaoi
>>282266188It was only like a half-year timeskip though.
>>282267385The problem is that she went from being a beginner to being almost at Hikaru's level, all off-screen, when the whole season had been about hyping up how far ahead Hikaru was.
>>282257462You start it to jack it to the cute girls. Then you stay to vicariously live through the feeling of seeing your 2d daughter surrogate work hard for her dreams and then jack off to them
>>282268964Loli Hikaru is too damn hot. Imagine the wild unprotected sex
>>282268662What? Wait, you mean the "timeskip" in season 1 of the anime?>The problem is that she went from being a beginner to being almost at Hikaru's levelYou wot m8.
>>282269210I'm not reading the manga, but that's how it comes off in the anime.
>>282269270Well she isn't. The reason why it's framed that way in the last episode of the anime is because by then, Inori's finally caught up to where she's supposed to be for her age, so technically Inori and Hikaru can participate in the same competitions. So Inori's made it to the starting line. That does not mean she's anywhere near Hikaru's level. If you get an impression otherwise, despite Hikaru's performance being years ahead of Inori's, it's because Inori's naive and Hikaru is humoring her for weird obsessive alpha lesbian predator reasons.
>>282264928Tsuruma Ikada's only other work was a sort of melancholy prelude to yuri thing, wasn't it?
>>282261774You must've hopped timelines, Medalist did really well.
>>282269193Boy have I ever. If I'm being honest I watched it in the first place because I was doing a ton of jacking off to AIslop Hikaru smut and was tired of my unfamiliarity with her personality straining the fantasy.That said, it totally ended up like >>282268964 said.
>>282270194My daughter's dress is so pretty.
>>282271065Thank you for making my wife that dress.
>>282263080volume 9 was amazing. But I doubt the manga will ever be that good again
>>282271240Amazing. But soul-crushing.And it ended with the timeskip that was actually pretty frustrating.
Don't forget to change your loli skater's skating diapers, coaches-tachi
>>282257462Cute and funny.
iruyka is so freaking gay
>>282257427I wanted to pick this up but then heard that the manga goes to shit and got scared.
>>282272810It doesn't go to shit. It's still great. Some people just got really invested in Inori and get frustrated when bad things happen to her.
>>282272469>Tsukasa: wow can't believe how upbeat you're being after Iruka's catastrophic injury!>Iruka's Coach: ... it's the coach's job to maintain a positive and supportive attitude for their skater>Tsukasa (in his own head): ugh, can't believe how cringe I was saying that, gotta try to keep it up for Inori>meanwhile Iruka is a cutter and suicidal after a lifetime of abuse from her asshole parents and feelings of wanting to be pitied while feeling self loathing over the same, wrapped up in how her entire life story hinges upon whether she can maintain her determination or not to push throughlol, it's even fucking worse than you thought it was you himbo coachanyway, Iruka needs to get over herself and let Inori's sister kiss her better, the dumb lesbo
>>282272326Do they normally wear those?
>>282272877I want to pat the cat.
>>282257462some of us really want to become fathers anon
>>282257462Certain "people" enjoy watching prepubescent female children.
>FUCK THE JUDGES I AM PERFORMING FOR YOU, INORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIToo intense, I don't know what will happen if they ever performed as a pair.
>>282272891>Iruka gets a major injury>Hikari beefs it for the first time in a competition>unsuspecting readers: Inori's gonna finally win but feel bad about it>Inori also beefs itMedalist doesn't fucking play around.
>>282273457Inori should give her a hug to feel better about winning.
>>282273190why do so many anons want to be fathers to daughters and not to sons?
>>282273631Girls are cuter and I like cute things.
>>282273631I have a little princess. Needless to say girl or son I'd would have love them equally but girls are more customizable and you can train them faster to help in the house , brush your hair,brain wash them into liking your hobbies, etc. A lot of men with daughters become more sensitive and well mannered, it's cute, so put that little thing of yours to work and go have one.
>>282257462cunny
>>282273133It's common knowledge among the skating community that junior skaters ages 3-15 are mandated by the world federation to wear emergency skating pantsu under their skating costumes, in case they couldn't make it to the potty, with the unintended benefit of cushioning any fall onto their bottoms. There was actually a typo when the rule was enacted and it was supposed to be ages 3-5, but amending it requires too much bureaucracy. Most coaches opt to get store-brand baby diapers such as Pampers instead of the standard national federation-supplied wear just because they're cheaper and cuter.
>>282257462Think of the children in the screen as your own and cheer them on
>>282268964I want to fuck a wolf.
I want a wolf to fuck me
>>282274363That's not how it works. The wolf fucks you.
>>282274398>>282274404That also works.
>>282272469I want an iruka imouto, she deserves nothing but pure happiness, Hikaru is still my fav, although iruka's most recent chs closed the gap between my #1 and #2
BUILTLIKEATUBE
>>282274784need to give her uppies while baby-talking to her
>>282274819she is made for being daddy's princess
>>282273631I want one of each.
god I wish I was a skating shota and I got manhandled into a loli skating costume and have to skate in front of everyone because of a mix-up
hikaru = gokuinori = vegeta
DBZ Chads? In my Medalist threads?
>>282275670medalist is battle shonen, what did you expect?
Hey, does anyone have that picture of older punished Inori as a seasoned skater/trainer?
>>282276175I deleted it off the internet because Inori is a good girl who doesn't deserve to get punished
>>282276638Good job.
>>282257462
>>282277447ewwww, it's okay Inori-chan baby I'll ask the organizers for a new medal ;_; that official can go fuck himself with a zamboni
>>282266331Sundowner-sama...
>>282277447That's me on the left
Should I post the webm?Nah. I'll post it anyway.
>>282278015Look at those chubby toddler arms
>>282272863>>282272877Sex?
Kanna the stinky skater
Everyone else the fragrant skater
I want to lick Inori's sweaty armpits after a program
>>282272469Read it and pretend the chapter Iruka gets introduced is the last of the series to spare yourself the disappointment. >>282272891It's more the completely pointless character shilling and glazing and derailment of plotpoints that were more interesting than anything going on right now outside of Iruka.
i want to ruin my coach marriage and there is nothing you can do about it
>>282280485Based homewreckerposter
>>282277447I fapped to this pic btw
>>282280525Is it because of the helplessness and disgust displayed by Inori
>>282280525The artist's other work is all porn so maybe that was the intent.
>>282280667Everything is porn if you're horny enough
>>282257427Should be great.
>>282257462Carefully examine the picture in the OP
>>282280413Her feet probably taste even better.
Inb4 Season 1 was a fluke and ENGI fucks it up.
>>282283144I watch the dub
>>282261600So not worth watching
>>282257427Me neither
>>282272877A cat is fine too
>>282257427>>282257462>>282257815>>282258917>>282260145It's so shit
>>282284855She looks fragile.
Sex with dolphins.
>>282257462the cat but then you realize she does nothing ever again and stop
>>282257462Little girls crying over broken dreams.
>>282286496Understandable. Maybe she can make a comeback?
>>282286720I wish but I can't see it happening, people only care about worm and fox
>>282285402
>>282272891This sounds like a fan high on copium
>>282288195I think the one point where the manga started slipping is the Hikaru arc. But other than that, it's been largely good, and the complaints have mostly been people really wanting Inori to win.
>>282274398>>282287939I want a wolf to fight me
What is it about the cat?
>>282289427You won't win. Are you okay with that?
>>282290911fine too
>>282283963I'm going to watch this show now
>>282278015Thank you anon
>>282278015Why are Kannas like this?
>>282289427God. I want to be verbally abused by a genius loli while she's looking down on me with disgust. Telling me how a failure of adult I am.
>Hikaru looks so similar to SaitoI bet Saito was her ancestor
>>282292768Both are wolves.
>>282292804yes, they come from the same lineage. >Hikaru was modeled after Watsuki's idealHmmm....
>>282292768And his obsession with Kenshin as a rival is EXACTLY as homoerotic.
>>282257427How many yurisex scenes in the manga so far?
>>18823605It would be hilarious if Tsurumaikada is watsukis pen name
>>282270194>>282271065Seeing papas (like Inori's coach) spending too much time with their daughter is creepy though. They should promote the rival dykes instead of coachxskater.
>>282293883Oh please it's so obvious inoris sister will end up with her coach
>>282293883That's the author's interest so that's how the series is represented. She wants to be the little girl with the hot coach. Of course having them actually end up together in a timeskip would cause riots in the west so it will remain shipper bait.
>>282293883There is a reason for that. Inori is the lesbian icon. Tsukasa is the homosexual icon. It is twice gay when they are together.
>>282257427It'll only be good if they hand-animate Hikaru's performance. CG can't do it justice.
>>282294078I thought they photo captured it
>>282293972>She wants to be the little girl with the hot coach.Wrong way round, bucko. The author is a big stupid idol hag and made the entire manga as an elaborate scheme to get her favorite idol a VA position, Bakuman style, playing a cute girl who gets praised a lot. Tsukasa is her self insert, praising the shit out of Inori.
>>282294137I assumed she went both ways round.
What's her problem?
>>282291531god I need to put them in matching pink princess dresses and matching pink princess pull-ups
>>282257462It start with C.
>>282283963Why did they make Inori thicker each new episode?
>>282294895Coach has been getting her thicker, more heavy-duty diapers for longer, more intense training sessions
>>282294895She's getting stronger.
>>282294895She got older.
>>282295451>hah hah, wouldn't it be funny if there was a sport you got shittier at when you hit puberty and also destroys your body if you do it too much?There's a lot more of these than you might think, but I think Medalist focusing on figure skating, which heavily skews younger and more female, helps highlight how insane sports have gotten on the human body.
We need more medalist crossovers
>>282295801I liked this small meme.
>>282295604This is the sanitized version though. The story of real figure skating is a sordid tale of industrial human suffering with Russia pumping lolis full of drugs and burning their lives out before 20 and leaving them with crippling injuries.
>>282295604can't wait for this scene
Whenever this plays, this might be the first anime I keep up with on a weekly basis. Normally having to wait an entire week is a huge turnoff, but Season 1 has me interested enough to think it might be different this time.
Inori dumpy
>>282295991wtf
>>282283333There should be some Hikaru right at the end.Maybe a lot of Hikaru at the end depending on if they're covering 4 volumes or 5.
>>282257427Is chapter 54 translated yet? Not sure if tls are slow or if I moved to the wrong site after mangadex was nuked. (This site has both the Shinichiro chapter and Fire & Ice pt. 3, but I'm still worried.)
>>282296124They just can't stop cheating.
>>282295991damn, is that what happened to that girl with the yuri on ice dolls from awhile ago
>>282296262friendly reminder that the Soviets are who introduced steroids to athletics.
>>282296255I don't think so. Pretty sure the scanalators moved to comick.
>>282292152infamous Medalist clip edit when
>>282296292Rocky IV was overly generous to them.
>>282295604Gymnasts get fucked up
>>282296463Thanks. That's the same site I moved to, so I'm glad my worries were unfounded.
>>282295604I want to lick Inori's six pack for at least an hour.
Yuri won?
>>282296737wow that's 10 mins per pack!
>>282277987If you want your own medal to bite so much then I will put you in Inori's outfit for you to skate and compete indamn that's kinda hot
>>282295604Poor boy got mogged
>>282297093No joke, that's his baggage.
>>282297093even his weewee is smaller than Inori's!
The reason Mittens didn't get to do much is because she will get her own spin-off anime titled The Adventures of Mittens
>>282297407What adventures will she go on?
>>282297432school and training and competition, and maybe r-romance? oh my what kind of boy do you think will set Mittens' heart alightalt. plot: she's a cat superhero at night
Redpill me on Iruka. Is she the girl for patrician JK enjoyers like me?
>>282277447It's called the kiss and cry because I kiss Inori and she cries.
>>282296925Yuri or Yuri on Ice?
>>282274363Can you be as alpha as Inori and push her down immediately?
>>282297637Yes, but one must be ready to be TRULY patrician. She's not for your fair weather, garden variety JK enthusiasts.
>>282298343She's also almost not a JK.
Feeding Kanna sweets until she has a pudgy tummyCaptcha: SNAKK
>>282297637Absolutely, also you must be ready to carry the weight

bumping a rare good Medalist thread.
>>282299812Isn't there a 100-kano character with this exact design? Hair stars and everything?
>>282297637Iruka believes males are abominable and should be purged from existence asap.
>>282257462Figure skating is a popular sport. You wouldn't know as a terminally online weeb outside of Japan though.
>>282257462>What's the appeal of this show?Gay girls/women.
>>282302382GUH so fucking elegant
>>282302858Iruka from the future will time-travel to give present-Iruka a loli-skater-beam to turn all males into loli skaters
>>282302991But it's a popular sport in Japan too...
>>282296463>Pretty sure the scanalators moved to comick.lol.
>>282304255Well shit.
>>282257427Why are her hips so wide here
>>282306452she is wearing her emergency skating pantsu
>>282299812> Iruka used to be friends with Mika and she's still thinking about her.> Iruka's theme is water & ocean.> Iruka lost her voice in the manga after getting leg trauma> Iruka is a mermaid in a bonus chapterHoly shit, she literally needs to kiss Inori's sister to get her voice back. Bravo, mangaka
>>282306665>to kissto have yurisex with*

>>282307224They only allow other females to love them. Are you one?

I thought Inori gave the worst performance but, Jesus what happened to Manaka? I was rooting for her when she placed 3rd during the Chubu block. Even Miihi got qualified and she deserves it.
>>282314585She was born a female.
>>282314585Someone told her that she will never be a man.
>>282314585Bad dad, likely
Bump
where tampon boy
Inori needs a diapey wipey change. Someone please help her.
>>282320309>>>/dbs/ is that way
>>282320309There's no time coach, she's supposed to be on the skating arena now, she's going to get penalized with score deduction if she's too late, just make her wear the top of her costume and skip the pants, quick this is televised, the sponsors might get mad at us for not being on schedule
Puberty arc where Inori grows massive jugs and can no longer skate competitively when?
>>282322147That's the prequel arc to the sumo-wrestling arc where she pivots into sumo-wrestling, another beloved sport in Japan.
>>282322147Inori's too shrimpy for that.
>>282317417She needs correction
>>282322410women are too unpure to step into that ring
>>282323686Puberty arc where Hikaru grows massive jugs and can no longer skate competitively when?
>>282323686Imagine older Inori shopping for clothes in the kids department or having to wear cutesy junior skating costumes because those are the only ones that fit her haha
I love the brother/sister-like bickering of these two.It's also sweet that Rioh's saying good luck to his future stepmom
Would you a crazy fox hag from burgerland?
>>282325745>his future stepmomI don't think that girl has the balls to actually try to claim that dude.
Next chapter, Coach Tsukasa caught a cold and could not accompany Inori to her next competition, but luckily the JSF assigned an official to escort her there. Hilarity ensues when it turns out the official only booked one hotel room for the two of them.
>>282326579The escort is a lesbian, of course.
Next chapter, Inori accidentally got registered into the Under-5 category for her next competition. Not wanting to waste their travel expenses and also to avoid getting sued for age fraud, Tsukasa came up with a plan for Inori to dress up and act like a big toddler.
>>282324314It's just mud?
>>282326470
>>282324314I think Tsukasa unconsciously has a kink for femdom.
I want the small skaters to get bigger.
>>282326385Oh hell yes.
how big would each of the futa skaters be

>>282330430small
KANIE!!!
>>282327796>has a kink for femdom.Nah, everyone bullies Tsukasa, it's just his destiny
I dropped this manga halfways, are there any loli piss chapters in later chapters? Would be very cute and funny if a loli loses falls during a performance and cries and pisses herself on ice
>>282327796Doubt it, he never listens to any of the women in his life and it’s one of the things that keeps causing him problems.
