I just want to get some perspectives from people who are already familiar with the sport.
How does she compare to irl skaters in tournaments?
I doubt what she is did can be performed by young skaters but is it something doable by adults? If yes, then how easy or how hard is it?
How does she compare to current and previous irl champions?

Last week I've watched champion skaters on youtube but I never saw them doing those triple jumps so I'm assuming they made her OP. These are just my assumptions so please forgive me if I'm wrong. I'm new to watching figure skating and looking forward to learn more.

Wanted to give credit so I'm linking the OG post.

Mind you, I think they use a different scoring method for the All-Japans.

Well considering that the skating sequences in the anime are performed by actual ice skaters doing motion capture, it’s not too hard of a comparison

That is what I was going to say too.

Plus, it is an anime, not real life, so to act like it is breaking some rule is illogical.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Theoretically, all acrobatic things are easier for children, because their body mass is so low, while their knees and other joints and tendons are not yet worn from use. The tendency of "lolitism" had became a real-world problem in gymnastics (uneven bars, beam, etc.), where 12-13 year old girls disguised as 14 y.o. "adults" competed at the Summer Olympics. Many had career-ending injuries before reaching 18. Don't know about ice skating though.

I've been enjoying the reactions of this YouTuber each week. She's a former figure skater and will give bits of info as things happen in the episodes.

Thanks for the reddit and youtube links!
Those are exactly what I'm looking for.
