Happy birthday!
>>285723904Happy birthday Hikaru!
>>285723904She's not beating the doping allegations.
Will she also be the first to lose her virginity?
>>285724594She already lost it with me
>you get points for being cuteHow is this fair?
I like how in sports manga they use their japanese spices to show us that their commitment is a battle against fate
The OP sounds like a song from a Disney channel original movie.
>>285723904Why do all the skaters throw gang signs when they are skating?
Genuinely happy for her that Medalist reignited her passion for figure skating. Not even Yuri on Ice compares to Medalist
>>285725572Literally who?But I agree that if an anime brings you back to a sport or hobby that is a wonderful thing.
>>285725572>Yuri on IceIt does not? I would have thought that Yaoi on ice at least does the ice skating thing well.
>>285725837You should watch Heated Rivalry, it's not anime but it's really good.
>>285724830It imitates real life.
This ikemen is giving flowers to little girls and calling them princess while they swoon over him. Jealous?
>>285725572>When she isn’t talking about Medalist she’s obsessing over Demon SlayerNot quite the intersection I was expecting.
>>285726083Yes actually
>>285726085The intersection is "manga written and read by fujos who also like little girls" which is a pretty regular demographic
The new OP is slowly growing on me. It's nowhere near as good as the first, but I might even end up liking it.
>>285726550With enough lolis any OP becomes good.
>>285723904I liked the eps so far but.. is Inori still are protag? Haven't really seen her skate or do much.. Is picrel the new main character? seemed like she had the most intense program
I'm a cynical disenchanted emotionally dead oji-san but seeing little girls cry makes me sad
>>285723904stupid sexy wolf
>>285726083GIWTWM
>>285723904i noticed yesterday you guys are the horniest bunch of all /a/, lol
>>285727062give it a bit
>>285727062Yes, you get to see her rival's performances as well. The All-Japan's qualifiers (and the training afterwards) are pretty much just warm-up for the real competition.
only did skating like 2 times when i was like 13-14
Now that I think about it, if All-Japan's is going to be a movie, the stopping point for S2 will be weird. Are they going to stop right after Hikaru's pledge?
>>285728444are those supposed to look like closed eyes
>>285728461i don't think so
in a few days!!
>>285728510We know the twink has Men's Singles in the bag, who is gonna dominate on the Women's side?
>>285723590Her? No. But Miihi, her friend and former clubmate actually made it in All-Japans.I'm glad I'll be able to see her again.
wait, this season only has 9 eps??
>>285728667half the series I'm watching this season don't even get one proper cour
>>285728576I'm glad that they'll be animating this scene in the movie.
cute
>>285728851She's such a cute little shit when she's suffering.
>>285728730>movieReally?
>>285728891The movie is about All Japan right?
>>285728870Shit, anon. Now you've reminded me again of that traitorous cat. Time to reread and fap.
poor girl
>>285728934please share
>>285728946>>285728963if there ever was a time for a headpat it was right therestupid trainer-san
>>285728952I think it's this
Why isn't there more porn of this?
>>285725572Actually learning Japanese. ls married. Competitive figure skater. She's better than most of us
As someone who watches actual Novice B competitions, this episode was super unrealistic. Falls don't happen that often.
>>285729333counterpoint: 3dpd woman
>>285729392I don't know shit about figure skating but I'm sure like every sport it differs a lot from country to country. Maybe Japan has a high points high stakes mentality where all the combos and jumps are hard ones so they fall more often
i wonder if the magnificent grand scene will ever get an anime like thiswhen i read the manga it was so good seeing the girls progress
>>285728946>>285728963Cirno needed a better trainer.
Does anyone know the songs they played? Or were they made for the show? I'm curious about Rinna's fucking JRPG final boss sound track
Manaka's performance was always cool in the manga but I was really impressed at the expansion to Rinna's skate which didn't really get depicted. Matches up with the expectations you'd have from the story and you can tell it's Sonidori's "majestic program"
>>285726083This is grooming
Is this anime for epstein folk?
>>285723904Sex with Hikaru
Are there any differences between the TV and the BD version for S1?Did they improve something?
>>285730673nah but its diddy blud coded
>>285730779so for mushoku tensei fans?
Nobody here actually cares about the story
>>285729392This is Novice A.2024's Chubu block had 6 falls across 13 skaters.https://www.jsfresults.com/National/2024-2025/fs_j/block4/FSKWSINGLES-NOVICA--01FNL-000100--_JudgesDetailsperSkater.pdfThere's also a lot of underrotations and downgrades
>>285731027I can confirm I only ever click these threads to save pictures of the girls and I have never watched an episode or read a chapter
>>285730886gay
>>285728335What was it like to skate, as a male
>>285731412Same
>thread filled with pedosecondaries and schizos>'cord filled with yurifaggots and literal troonsI can't talk about Medalist anywhere in good company. Life is suffering.
>>285730752What the fuck is her endgame
>>285731555NTA, but you know skating is not just dancing on ice, right?
>>285729392There are so many falls because Hikaru isn't there. Everyone now actually has a chance to win, so they're going for risky stuff to get the gold.
>>285724594>implying she still has it
depressing, all these lolis trying their hardest but they will never be the protagonist. ice skating is brutal huh
>>285730690Flat.
>>285725572Only reactor I watch for the show, it's nice having an insider perspective and actually boosts the credibility to many parts of the series. She's probably gonna cringe though once the olympic level routines become commonplace and it becomes a little difficult to suspend disbelief.
>>285732241just like real life
>>285732558It's actually not that weird, especially if there's a prodigy that's driving the field forward. Take a look at the scores during Mao Shimada's last year as a novice:https://www.jsfresults.com/National/2021-2022/fs_j/nationalnovice/data0205.pdfAside from Mao herself, who had a Hikaru tier performance, the rest of the top 5 also had international level performances, with all triples aside from their Axels. What separates "Olympic level" and "Japanese National Champion level" are the GOE's and it's hard to portray GOEs without being extremely technical.
The new episode was amazing. Really intense and beautiful to watch.
>>285732698I'd say quads in novice are a little out there
>>285732950You'll find those in Mao's program. Having two Maos in a generation would be... improbable, but that allows us to have a story. If anything is unbelievable it's the sheer number of Triple Axels
>>285728987More like stupid director-sanImagine taking a character who has extremely little screentime and giving them even less. The mangaka loves all her babies but the anime just focuses on the protags.
>>285731618Are you me? I feel the exact same way.
>>285733442Birds of a feather perhaps
>>285730814can confirmi LOVE both
>>285731618This is a pedotroon show.
>>285726083Yes actually, I also want to pamper them for doing a good job.
>>285730886Same energy
>>285733515Inori is getting too tall, bros...
>>285731618Real, I just talk with my family about it.
>>285733938It wouldve been better if they were highschool girls. Easy. Instead of child abuse and sexualization
>>285734253I tried getting my mom into it. She read volume 1 at least but nothing more beyond that.
>>285734299She finished at the very least, that's good.
>>285734294
>>285734294reddit is that way
>>285733394It's one of the problems with anime, that it often suffers from tunnel vision. Sure you have to be clear who the story is about, but adding a headpat had been night and day.
>>285725572The difference is Yuri on ice was just drama on ice skates while medalist is a legit sports anime
>>285734165She looks really tall in that one frame for some reason. This is her later in that performance. Taller than she was at the start of the series, but still quite small.
Is shoving your crotch into the judges' faces really a legit skating move?
>>285735073GOE +5,000,000!!!!
>>285735073Mating ritual.
>>285735073why do you have that on your pc?
>>285735073Do you have the full video?
>>285735578I made it right now to show you.>>285735611https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1oKPtuA4_w
>>285735698Why does no one in Medalist do that leg bendy thing during their spins? The spins in Medalist are so boring
>>285735698Anyone watching this is a creep, unless youre literally a parent of those kids
>>285736075I respect people more than have figurines of Illya/Kuro than something like this.
TWO coaches?What a skank.
>>285736288I respect people who aren't unlikable assholes with retarded opinions.
>>285736454Inori has two coaches too.
>>285730283All the songs are credited in the ED.Yes, they're made for the show.Only Inori and Hikaru's first performances were to real classical music.
>>285736288It's a handmade garage kit.I respect the people who make stuff like that far more than those who buy an ebin cunny prillya figure just for that ironic lolicon internet cred
>>285736689illya is actually designed to be sexy, but medalist characters are pedobait.
>>285735073ERAI!
>>285735877>Anyone watching this is a creep
>>285736900Im charitable, i dont think all lolicons are creeps. If you are looking up videos of real kids then youre just a pedo, creep is an understatement.
>>285735877>american opinion
>>285737006what does it have to do with America?
>>285737118With how their society works. Kids are only supposed to get into contact with their close family, other kids, or teachers. Anything else is regarded dangerous, creepy, even pedophilia.
>>285731903Same as the rest of us, loli figure skater wife.
>>285736962
>>285728730I just want to see the scene where she gets her quad. There's a vivid picture of exactly how that should look in my head and I want to see if they can live up to it.
>>285735698What's even the point of putting pants on the girls in the anime when irl they use regular leotards and no one complains about it?
>>285728730imagine waiting 2 more years for 3 episodes of content. and several more years for S3 (if it even happens)
>>285738213the manga is phenomenal. no reason to watch the anime anyway
>>285728730I imagine this will be the final scene of the season, but maybe they'll repeat it in the movie
>>285728730I really enjoyed the brief period of emo inori who wanted to crush her enemies
>>285738343I see it as a Kare Kano situation where both manga and anime are good, but the anime tones down all the drama and women moments which is good for people without vaginas.
>>285734294The manga heavily relies on, and deals with, the whole concept of figure skating, which you have to start very young in order to even be the least bit competitive. The heroine is worried she started too late and she's fucking eleven.The series doesn't just have young kids as the MCs, it directly explores what this means for such a physically intensive sport. The coaches commiserate on how dangerous it is, and her coach has to learn how to properly get across certain issues to a literal child in ways you don't often see, with stories usually more content to let characters only be children when its funny or adorable, and then immediately grasp more serious topics. The fact that their physical growth impacts their performance is also important.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52p8L8TXmuMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHOfgYQPn3MWhy aren't these available in 5 dubs and 23 subs?
>>285737963Because of feminists.You can't attack the actual athletes and their costume designers, they have backing from people of high social standing and even the government.But anime creators and fans are a far easier target to bully.
Basically the new ep was amazing. Lots of tension, lots of beautiful skating. The season has started out really strong and I'm glad it did because the first one was a great watch through and through. Between this, Frieren and Kaya chan this anime season is looking great to me.
>>285740717Clown world
>>285740507Salchow, do your thing!
THEY THINK I'M A FOOL!THEYTHINKI'MAFOOL!!!
>>285740717You fail to understand the intention of the feminist mind. It has nothing to do with having easy targets, but everything to do with making men as miserable as possible.
>>285741023How does covering up little girls make men miserable?
>>285740994I DON'T CAREI DON'T CAREIDON'TCARE
So uh.. is Inori just going to swoop in and defeat everyone like a final boss or something? The season hasn't given any focus on her
>>285741455Yeah she's just gonna jump in, do an octuple axel, say nothing personnel kids with a smug face and walk out with the gold medal
>>285740507Westoids are not the target audience.
>>285741455Inori IS the final boss
>>285741593>>285741656I see, so it's like saki then
>>285735073>/sp/edo arrived
>starts late>speedruns and becomes an olympian anywayInori is the villain
>>285741059Feminists are just women, and women hate it when other things (hobbies, science, hunting, sport, whatever) takes attention away from them. Other women especially. So when a feminist sees competition for male attention and resources they want to eliminate it. In other words feminists don't find "sexualized little girls" an issue from a moral standpoint but because they are competition. Beauty uplifts the soul and that's why fanservice is so beautiful. Eroticism is life itself, and fake morality needs to be obliterated regardless if it's from the side of feminism or religion. We need more porn, more sex, more fanservice, more loli, more pantsu.
>>285741455After this competition Inori goes from a nobody to being a considered one of the most formidable skaters of her generation. It's literally her greatest moment in the series so far.
>>285741741What kinds of stories have you been reading/watching up until now to give you that idea?The hero is usually a young underdog, and the villain is usually a confident elite.
I feel like they can easily make a game out of what the show has. The models already look like idolmaster models. not saying it's bad, it just feels like it will lend well on mobile devices for instance.
>>285742054They don't want your dirty oji-san money
>>285741455Did you skip the previous episode?She drew the penultimate skating order. Wait for her turn.By the way, when rewatching I noticed an error here: They swapped Waka and Manaka's actual skating order in this episode of the anime, but in this scene in the previous episode where they preview the skating order when it's decided, it's show in the original manga order. Sloppy.
>>285742054I would pay for a medalist princess maker game.
>>285742030Yukari started from a young age, traning more than anyone else. Inori just appeared and crushed everyone. Don't let her attitude fool you, she will eat you
>>285742204no I mean in s1 they gave much more time into inori preparing, like in back stage and stuff. I suppose we're 'over' most of the psychological or environmental obstacle now so there's not much point in just putting a camera on her all the time. Just felt kind of odd 2 ep in that's all
>>285728851made me wonder if there's a larger point deduction for smashing face first into the wall compared to a normal fall penalty
>>285742608This is Inori's initiation into the sorority of skater girls so it's important to show them all off as some of them become recurring characters.
>>285742366*HikaruFuck, I got my Garupan cables crossed >>285742477Is he sinking in quicksand?
>>285742204honestly, anime is impressiveeach character has its own individuality, like look at their hairso colorful and pretty
>>285742608She'll get a few flashbacks when her turn comes up, probably. Just enjoy the jobbers for now.
>>285742804But I don't want tons of randoms sluts.I want worm girl and wolf girl.
>>285743081Hikaru isn't really gonna appear much at all this season. Gotta wait until the movie for that.
>>285743081I'll take the tons of random sluts
>>285742804>each character has its own individuality, like look at their hairand eyes
>>285743493Get behind me, Satan
>>285743493I still don't get how that eye works. are they open or is she one of those 'closed but scary when open' character
>>285742804The manga is the impressive one, the anime is just playing "paint by numbers"
>>285743756You're not supposed to know.

FLAT
>>285745529C U R V E
>>285745705I'm not a lolicon, her proportions are mathematically proven to be aesthetically pleasing. Now it all makes sense!
>>285743795>Hikaru sitting amongst the thrones in the backgroundArt.
>>285746203>her proportions are mathematically proven to be aesthetically pleasingTrue>I'm not a loliconLess true
>>285737190Its true in the west in general. Japan is not that different, there are simply more creeps that are open about being creeps
>>285746995Not really.
>>285745529JCs aren't this flat....
>>285723904Will Salchow make subs this season also or do I just bite the bullet and go or the dubtitles?
>it directly explores what this means for such a physically intensive sport.so every sports anime ever>The fact that their physical growth impacts their performance is also important.obsessing over physical development of children is creepy
>>285723904Why are her hips so wide
I wonder if we'll see Main perform. It's weird what a nothing character she actually is with how much screen time she got around her introduction. I'm not sure we've seen a single panel of her in competition
Happy (belated) birthday, Hikaru!
>>285747551>no argument, just asserting that a completely normal thing is "creepy"yeah you're just a mentally ill freak, fuck off
I might judge people for lusting over most of the girls but I would never judge anyone for lusting over Rinna
>>285737963Even the manga is using censorpantsleotards now
>>285747783she will rape me
I'm unreasonably disappointed that the end of Manaka's song doesn't have an audible synced up gun bang sound. I always imagined one every time I read the chapter in the manga.
>>285747741fanartists struggle being placed between the need to draw a child (from canon) and the desire to draw something sexy (from their biology)and so you get children with wide hips
>>285747914I thought Manaka skated to a kpop song
>>285725572Didn't a couple pair skate to the actual Yuri on Ice song the Olympics after it aired
>>285739570>a Kare Kano situation where both manga and anime are goodAnd both go downhill at the end for different reasons?
>>285741802Is she though? Especially given the complete and total collapse near immediately afterwards that makes it hard to buy into that she'll have a clean win on anyone important in the story or the narrative.
>>285749615>Is she though?Yes. She was handpicked to represent Japan in international tournaments. And she even won one of them. Having one bad result doesn't mean everything is over.
I want to kiss those pudgy sheep cheeks so bad
>>285749816The problem is that the narrative itself doesn't show or treat any of that as actually important. Her winning that competition was IRL important and meaningful, but from a narrative PoV, it only mattered in that she qualifies in the finals to vs Iruka and compete in the All-Japans. Outside of that, it's just her winning another smaller competition of little narrative importance. The series just isn't giving any of the sports parts the actual weight and significance they need and derserve to feel meaningful imo.
>>285750233Literally every time we see her skate, we see people around her be amazed how good she is. She has real achievements, beside just winning tournaments, like being chosen to represent Japan and qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. I don't know how "the narrative" could possibly be any clearer about Inori being one of the formidable skaters in her generation without making her into a second Hikaru who just wins everything by default.
>>285750233Retard, no one agrees with your schizo shit, stop bringing it up.
The weird part of how the story is structured is everyone - characters, narrative, readers, etc - act as if inori is under urgent time pressure to catch up to hikaru. but the olympics are like 8 years away. the way it's structured basically forces it to be repetitive and frustrating unless there's a big swerve coming
>>285750911Then why is your dumb fucking ass commenting like retard who thinks he had a thought?>>285750634By having her actually WIN sometimes. Her last on-screen win was literally two years ago and the other was relegated to background event that the narrative just treated as a qualifier for the actually narrative important ones.>>285751067Pretty much this. And with Hikaru pretty much having near infinite resources at her disposal, it's pretty much non-existent that she'll ever catch up.
>>285751328and yet catch up she must, by metanarrative necessity. the only questions are when and how, and can it be written in a satisfying way
>>285751709It's that metanarrative necessity that makes it a problem. Hikaru is so obscenely talented as is and now has as much training time as she needs, an Olympic Gold medalist coach, international condecorated choreographer, full medical and physical therapy staff, it's just too much. I just can't see a convincing way to do it.
>>285727968It's the paternal instinct you never got to use.
>>285752097A man from turkey showed up to the summer olympics and out shot everyone with both eyes open and no gear. It's time to get your head out of your ass or continue so far up it you see the light again.
>>285728314That's nothing compared to the other reccuring threads about anime with young girls as a theme.
>>285752097prediction: something happens to hikaru, inori (after moping over not getting a chance to defeat her on the ice) takes hikaru's place as the genius of her generation, and we get a big timeskip where the roles are reversed and hikaru has to make a comeback to catch up to inori.
>>285752411The fact that you equate Yusuf Dikeç's accomplishments with this series and Inori vs Hikaru just marks you as a know nothing functional retard. He was already a multiple European and World champ before he won at the Olympics you fucking dumbass.
>>285729313Why do you want porn about little girls in their sweaty leotard? You're weird, anon.
>>285752636Cry about it
>>285752500I...dunno how to feel about this one at all and feels kind of unsatisfying. Like Inori's only REAL chance is for any of her serious rivals to get injured.
Inori has more talent thoughHikaru will plateau no matter how much she trains but Inori will go past that because she simply has more potential
>>285752097Hikaru had most of that at the start of the series, and Inori still managed to catch up and surpass her in some elements anyway. Rioh had everything he ever needed from the start, and he was left behind by a girl he literally taught himself. Even Hikaru recognizes that no one (except Jun) is as obsessive about figure skating as Inori. And anyway, Inori probably has access to better resources than Hikaru does right now anyway, since she's one of the Japanese Figure Skating Association's chosen skaters.
Demon Lord Inori
>>285752924>And anyway, Inori probably has access to better resources than Hikaru does right now anyway, since she's one of the Japanese Figure Skating Association's chosen skaters.Disagree for the above stated reasons. The rest has too much variance. Like Hikaru surpassing Rioh just highlights her talent if anything and being obsessive can only take you so far vs talent.>>285752702Not sure I'm seeing that at all. Obsessive hard work yes, but raw talent, Hikaru just beats Inori hard. Potential is up in the and the series NEEDS to start showing instead of telling.
>>285728554>KEEP ON TRUCKING!
>>285742637Fall is -5 GoE no matter how you fall
dunno what you guys are talking about. Inori is a pathetic loser. Absolutely pathetic, jobbing one competition after another after her initial young peak.
>>285752636I sure love it when retards derive their entire world view from hearsay and memes, like using that shooter as proof without knowing anything.
>two combo jumps>four jumps>three spins>"a program that combines ten techniques into a single step sequence"Fucking retards at Hulu can't count to ten and thought the single step sequence referred to the performance as a whole instead of being one of the ten techniques
>>285753365I can tell you've never done a sport let along work for anything
>>285753365Obsession is all that matters.The people who do the best on top of being absolute freaks of nature, are also obsessive to the point of destroying themselves
>>285726085Only girls like Demon Slayer.
>>285729392I tried to watch the actual sport and it's so boring. Love the anime (at least S1) though.
>>285729392Has anyone done a fall compilation?
>>285751067Figure skating is really fucking expensive.You think she could continue skating for 8 years if she didn't get government support as a potential future olympian very early on? Not a fucking chance.
>>285754818For the element score, sure, but what about the presentation score?
>>285756088You also get -1 overall score and the element is counted as performed.Falling isn't penalized that harshly otherwise people wouldn't go for high value jumps and combinations.
>>285743756She just has hairy eyeballs
Next week
I started watching S1.Are the TV and the BD version the same or did they change or improve stuff?
>>285757814why is this predator so nice

>>285757402ever since I watched episode 15 two days ago and made the mistake of revisiting the manga to remind myself what comes next, I've been rereading Yuuna's and Inori's performances every day and crying each time, send help please
>>285755518Please understand, the way that the Japanese use commas and の for lists of components that make up one big thing is really confusing for people who've only studied for the JLPT N2 and never read a Japanese book in their life.
I swear I'm not a lolicon but if someone doesn't hold me back...>>285756217Falls also penalize your maximum component scores, but if you're Jumpmaxxing anyways you weren't getting anywhere near the maximum anyways

is Hikaru like Hisoka?
>>285757820don't be fooled, get away from her Inori
>>285723904Happy birthday, Hikaru

>>285757402Anon I...
Did you know, the song Manaka skates to here, "Straight to the Top", was sung by her English VA? That's really cool
>>285765466English VAs singing is inherently uncool.
>>285765607I liked the song
>>285765466>english VADon't care, if I did I'd say kill it with fire.
Why was Jun going to obscure locations looking for exceptional lolis?
>>285765634I get it but that shit just reminds me of the early 00s and I get a bad case of the cringe.
>>285765699When you're number one, you can do whatever the hell you want.
>>285758795>She enjoys playing with her food.Exactly
>>285765699Why aren't you?
>>285766511I need 200 pages of Hikaru dominating Inori, Jun, the cat, and whoever else. Those eyes tell me she's in charge and she won't stop until you satisfy her or die trying.
>>285766607>>285765699That reminds me of that h-doujin about a Jap tourist going to shithole countries to fuck brown lolis
>>285767407Sorry. I was meant to use this pic.
>>285723904I waited a year for this... ToT
>>285765466I was really surprised when I saw her name in the credits. I remember seeing her in a japanese tv program about go (the boardgame) like 10 years ago. I guess she's still living in Japan producing music. Good for her.
the fact that this is an official video
>>285768145Whoever is running the YouTube channel is good at keeping the content up
>>285768145I miss the cat. Where is she? Is she ok?
>>285769098She's in my basement and she's fine, don't call the authorities or come looking for her.
Anyone else surprised the Russian guy spoke Japanese? I though in the manga he and Hikaru were talking in English or something. I thought in the manga he couldn't even speak Japanese.
>>285769392In the manga, they spoke in "horizontal Japanese", which indicates that it's supposed to be *some* western language in-universe.In the anime they'd have to decide whether it was Russian or English, then force Hikaru's VA to butcher it in awful pronunciation no matter which they chose, and for what? No one cares.
>>285769659I think accommodations should be made for viewers suffering from autism
>>285765466>dub VA and a random youtuber with 142 subscriberslmaodid they use their entire budget for the gookshit OP?
>>285771764I don't know what they're gonna do in the future when some of the songs they skate to are actually kind of important to the performance and their motivations during the plot.
>>285734163in other news: The first Saki chapter was published 20 years ago.
I would the wolf
>>285769098She won't be appearing for next season or the movie.
could hikaru still skate perfect while pregnant?
>s1 final few episodes>holy shit everyone is so good I wonder what the ranks above are like>s2 first few episodes>holy shit everyone is so bad and keeps falling over I'm sure the rank below was betterJust me or am I imagining things?
>>285776454thats because the low rank are main characters
>>285776454The skaters are doing more difficult programs.
is it my eyes or did they hand animate the 4 npc girls skating? really? in this day and age? where did the monies come from
>>285776607rotoscoping isnt really animation
>>285776607If you have a unique design but you don't get to appear much, it's actually cheaper to hand animate than to make a model. Manaka and Riina appear in the OP and had longer screen time so it's worth making a model for them that can be reused.
>>285777407Cute boys, in my ice-skating anime?
>>285777886I think Rioh is cuter than half of the girls

>>285777900I wonder what would be the blue bird boy's reaction to the red bird boy trying to charm Inori.
>>285767548The singular /a/ true medalist fan...
>>285776454>holy shit everyone is so bad and keeps falling over I'm sure the rank below was betterMeanwhile, Yuzuru Hanyu won his first Olympic gold in 2014 despite falling twice in his program. When you aim high, it's easier to fall.
Salchow subs released for S2E1https://nyaa.si/view/2072282
>>285779955Are they good?
>>285776454please understand, the mangaka decided to expositiondump the fall mechanic in this arc
>>285780160>are fansubs better than dubtitles and daisytitleswho knows retard
>>285780332Fansubs can be pretty garbage, especially when they're outright trollsubs, retard.
>>285780373yeah like we never heard of salchow subs before doubleretard
>>285780397Last season everyone was complaining that they were shit.
>>285780440who's we outside of a few dipshits? they were good and the definitive way of watching season 1 outside of it being raw.
>>285780451Sorry to offend you, Salchow PR representative.
>>285780525i represent my own experience and you're retarded considering no better option exists
>>285780569You just assume they're better, but you don't actually know.
>>285780787I do because I watched it. Why would you make an easily debunkable statement like that, retard?
>>285781006How would you know just because you watched it? You would have to watch the official subs too and you would be able to understand Japanese well enough to make a reasonable judgment. I bet you can't even provider any cherry picked examples to demonstrate which subs are better, but even if you did, it would mean nothing. Definitely you can't answer a simple question calmly, without going into rage like a mad retard.Anyway, you sound like an absolute faggot, the type who isn't liked even on a shithole like 4chan. You only have yourself to blame for having a confrontational, abrasive, unlikable personality. It will do you no good.
>>285781263>this fagassed autist having a melty this badholy shit lollmao evenrofl alsostay mad forever retard
>>285781354You're the mad retard who can't answer a simple question, gets obviously mad, and whose only triumph in life is when he thinks he got someone else mad.Now you even post like 15 yo retard zoomer who forgot that he isn't on discord.What's next, posting a s*yjak?
>>285781517Nah, you're big mad. You'll continue eating sloptitles out of spite because that's how retarded you are. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Kek, eat shit, retard.
>>285762391>haha becoming a mother totally ruins your life
>>285781573>n-no u!>posts like a retarded newfag>has no argument>calls everyone a retard>only cares about others being more mad than hoim>doesn't realize he's an endlessly seething retard who will never fit in, not even on 4chanI still don't know whether Salchow are good. I only know that you constantly seethe at literally nothing, like someone asking a question. One day you will pop a vein. Downright sad.
>>285781573nta but you're making fansub watchers look badyou're supposed to destroy crunchy/disney/netflix/whatever with facts and logic, not just shut yourself off in your little fansub cult
>>285781768ROFL, keep replying, asshurt-kun. Y'know, all of this could've been avoided if you just watched it instead of having this pointless argument? That's how retarded you are.
>>285735698Time to fap I guess.
>>285781825>ROFLKeep digging yourself deeper, tourist. If you don't know the answer, why do you respond? Why are you so mad?
>>285781911How so? Their subs definitely were controversial last season. In addition they were slow and finished their batch only a week ago.Damn I hope you're just trolling intentionally (and with extremely low standards how to spend his time), instead of being such a parody of a newfag sperging out big time.Anyway, don't bother replying, I won't get an answer to my original question.
>>285782005If you were following the chain of replies instead of being blinded by your autistic rage you would see that I already told you they were good. How much lower can you go?
>>285782062All I see is how started out mad and then got really mad. No arguments at all. It's probably different with you and the people you surround yourself with, but "retard" doesn't convince anyone with an IQ higher than 80.Anyway, fuck off, you waste of time, a turd can only be this funny.
Trying too hard award goes to >>285782126! Anyways, your loss, so I couldn't care less either way if you watch it or not. -1 retard is always a good thing.
>>285780160given that subtitle snobs are literally impossible to please i'm sure some people will say they're bad, but i'd say they're worth it just for the signage translation and not being filled with zoomer memes like the existing subs
>>285782232>just for the signage translation and not being filled with zoomer memes like the existing subsGood enough. Maybe I'll get the batch when it's out in a year or so.
Not the other anon buthttps://x.com/BadAnimeTLs/status/1878150038049763338I didn't watch Salchow's S1 subs and I only just downloaded and checked their batch but at the very least they got these two (very easy) lines right that the official subs got wrong. I'm pretty sure the official subs got other lines wrong throughout S1 but don't remember specifics. This latest episode just had this though >>285755518 so in general I'm pretty sure anything beats Hulu. Official subs really do set the bar at rock bottom
Movie release in 2027Download available in 2028Salchow subs out by 2029Being gaijin is suffering
>>285782445I'm rewatching my reripped S1 Blu-ray remuxed with the new salchow subs. It got me into rereading the manga as well. Kino series.
>>285782445Just learn Japanese
>>285782526>Learn a dying, useless, and outdated language.Nah, I'm good.
>>285782414Sure, but remember how we had bad fansub threads, with enough material to fill multiple threads. The one problem with official subs is that popular shows got multiple fansub groups working on it, so you had a choice sometimes.
>>285782609Are we still talking about Medalist here?
>>285782734We should be talking about the cat desu
We need to gatekeep harder...
>>285782805Gatekeeping is for losers that want to see the thing they love fail and fade into obscurity
>>285782835It's to prevent retards from ruining everything
>>285726083Yes, I too want to be pampred and receive flowers
>>285782878If you think it's ruined while it gains success then it just means it was not for you and you should move on. Better to have success and relevancy over pandering to some faggot crying about gatekeeping better.
>>285782907Hmm>Checks thread>Filled with pedosecondaries and schizos>Checks 'cord>Filled with yurifaggots and literal troonsYeah, great company, amirite!
>>285723904I planned to binge the whole season so I won't go through the thread yet, but man hikaru looks so pretty I can't stop myself from clicking it
>>285782969Yea just move on bro?>checks 'cordyou know maybe you're right, we should have gatekeep better
>>285782991https://nyaa.si/view/2069593>>285783008Move on to where?
>>285783066You tell me? Another website, another 'cord you love joining with randos, another series, etc. You pick. You are the one choosing to partake in places with people you don't like.
>>285783122That's the problem; there's nowhere public like that. There are none unless you just host your own private, unfederated irc server for instance.
So what exactly is the situation with subs this time around?Last season we had>Disney Plus dubtitles>Hulu accurate subtitles>Salchow fansubs based on the weird Mickey Mouse manga localizationThis time it looks like Hulu has been replaced by Apple? So we have>Disney Plus>Apple>SalchowAm I missing anything? Has anyone checked out the Apple subs? Are they actual subtitles?
>>285784164What did grok mean by this?
>>285784407What Apple subs?
>>285784407Daisy Savage who's doing the Hulu subs (APPS) doesn't know English and DSNP are subtitles. Pic related is from Daisy Savage.
Unironically the dub script flows better than the English subs, but the dub script also adds/removes nuances from the Japanese script
>touristniggers itt defending dubtitlesJFC go back you fucking tourist
>>285784628>touristThat's you though.
>>285784532>subtitles Dubtitles*
>>285784628Can you even understand Japanese lol
>>285784655>N-no uConvincing notion, newnigger. >>285784663Enough to know what the dubtitles say on the screen isn't what the Japanese VAs are saying.
>>285784712>Enough to know what the dubtitles say on the screen isn't what the Japanese VAs are saying.Lmao
>>285784712You couldn't say a single sentence in Japanese, you moronic loser.
>>285784532APPS is Hulu? I wonder why they replaced Emily Walton.Disney Plus started doing subtitles for the Japanese audio? How does that work? Do they have two subtitle tracks now, like Netflix or did they full on drop the dubtitles?>picThat is far less insufferable than "Mickey Mouse".>>285784592Dubtitles are basically fanfic
>>285784740Try harder dubnigger>>285784746Yes APPS is hulu. I meant dubtitles when I referred to Disney.
>>285784740訳せカス
>>285784777Hoe about you try harder, you obvious dumbass.
>>285784777>I meant dubtitles when I referred to Disney.Ah okay. So we basically have the same situation as last season but with a worse Hulu translator this time.Thanks, anon. I'll probably stick to Hulu this time around. Hopefully it gets better as the season progresses.>>285784847>Hoelmao, person who can't into English tries to convince others to watch English dubtitles over subs.
>>285784876I only called you what you are, a tourist.
>>285784930>he think he was "won" when someone else makes a typoBrain damaged retard. Even kids are wittier than you.
>>285785041>every single post gets more election touristy
>>285785091So cute, so incredibly mad, so banned (later).
>>285785120God you're such a fucking tourist clown.How do you even breathe? You're too fucking stupid to even remember to breath.
>>285785173You're so obvious it's painful. You will never fit in, not in a thousand years.
>>285785224So dumb he knows only one type of reply and thinks he's hocking everyone with it.Get back to your containment dunghill.
>obvious (you) baitingWe can never have nice things with tourists around.
>obvious tourists thinking they're welcome hereThis is why we should have gatekept harder.
>>285785269>>285785323I'm vindicated.
Looks like (he) got bored.
Looks like (it) went back.
>is brown>constantly calls others brownWhat did that tourist mean by this?
>it's still going
this is the fate of post-airing-day threads
You love to see it
>>285785547This is why it's so hard to talk about Medalist in its actual thread
>>285785543You can just respond directly, loser.

>>285786079The tourist loves giving himself (You)s.

>>285784407>>285784532>>285784658>>285784746>>285784930Jesus. I just blindly picked DKB for catchup since Salchow was 7x larger. Haven't started watching yet though. Looks like DKB used DSNP ToonsHub.
>>285786458Nice try samefag
>he literally can't stopBro... seek help.
>samefag gets defensive when outtedLike clockwork
...says the retard who responded dozens of times to post because he's so butthurt.Just kill yourself, you clown.
Yeah this thread isn't worth keeping open
>replied to himself a hundred times>n-no uMental illness
Late to the party. What the flying fuck is that garbage opening?
>>285789243Everyone hates it!I like to think that Disney forced its influence, but the anime itself stays pure.
you fags bicker over sub accuracy like biblical scholars argue over how to properly translate the Bibleit ain't that serious
>>285789382If only it was about that.
>>285779955Why do the lyrics say "I doubt myself" when she's clearly singing "believe in myself"? Those sound nothing alike
>>285789243>opening written by literally who>sung by a bunch of weirdo
>>285789243It's kinda growing on me. Still way worse than the first one, but maybe I won't be skipping it after all.
>>285726083Will he go Larry Nassar on the ice skater?
>>285727062I thought the song during her performance sounded cute, was it an actual son or something made for the show?
>>285779044i imagine he wouldn't know what he sees in that shrimp
>>285789488I don’t believe in myself 高く飛ぶThey think I’m a foolRain drop 目を覚ましてもsame old何も変わらないGrow upmirrorの私に言うの泣いても変わらないとI don’t know where to go叶えたい夢があるのにあの子みたいにはなれない慣れないI don’t believe in myself but I don’t care 高く飛ぶwith my new shoes They think I’m a foolI don’t care I don’t care i don’t care Watch me This is me転んだ 数だけI’ve got nothing but this fireI’ll show you What I can doWatch me This is meI’m not who I used to be 転んだ 数だけThey said I couldn’t, now look at meI’ve got nothing but this fireYeah I’ve got nothing I’ve got nothing I’ll show you What I can doJust watch, I’ll make it
>>285730704>>285730690I want to pet that kitty.
>>285735073This is dangerous.
>>285745705No wonder she's a semen demon.
>>285789488I feel like "I doubt myself" would actually be better lyrics than the actual "I don't believe in myself". This song is supposed to be from Inori's perspective. Maybe she didn't believe herself in ep 1 of season 1, but it doesn't fit in the OP for season 2.
>>285779955Thank fuck some good subs for once.
>>285777907Gonna need proof of that.
