Pressure? I think this is a point that is not dealt with as thoroughly as it should be.

Anyway, a challenge!

Glad to see the brat getting somewhat humbled and now she's clingy towards Inori.

Regarding Hikaru's coach, I wonder if that's also her dad as they seem to have very similar eye color and I don't recall if her being his daughter has been mentioned.

Here is an exceptionally punchable one from the same scriptwriter, though Ninner has already levelled up from brat to unbearable gremlin...

Leia, I'm your father! She said she has no mother, that's suspicious. The dark side runs strong in their family...
(First, I assumed guy had the same seiyuu as genocide emperor Arnold Hein in 7th Loop...)

I just love the animation of this anime! but i really do have a soft spot for ice skating anime just because i feel like they all have a really big budget!!!

I wonder if Hikari's program music, "The Danse Mcabare" (Dance of Death), is foreshadowing for her character development ? I'm just wondering out loud... not looking for spoilers

Regrettably, there is a bigger problem right now, as it turns out the japanese animation studio wholesale plagiarized Hikaru's routine from a real-life, world championship winning performance of a famous south korean figure skater, including dress, music and choreography. I'm not even sure if foreign channels, like Disney and Hulu can keep Medalist on air after this snafu, partly due to legal risk and partly due to the political fallout!

oooh..Ty for the info. I hadn't seen anything about that in my feeds yet. Hopefully, the athlete and studio can come to terms with giving credit or a monetary settlement that keeps them happy or whatever. Thankfully, I don't watch anything on any subscription service. ☠️
