Ice Ado Cancellation

So the official Yuri On Ice account dropped this tweet last night. Ice Adolescence is cancelled for sure.

I think we had all known that it was but the confirmation still stings.

And this wasn't just another cancellation like Netflix shows get. This movie was already well underway - animation had started. They already had music and choreography! Multiple famous skaters were working with them. They had released a trailer for it--and then it all got dropped.

I agree with Denki here - something major happened that we'll never know about, whether that was the Olympic committee or politics or MAPPA channeling resources into other series like AoT or JJK.

Either way, it stings. Yoi is literally the show that put MAPPA on the map, and it had a giant international audience. Like just looking at how many different languages are under the announcement post is enough to show how beloved it was. This tweet from Junicihi Suwabe (the voice of Victor) really expresses it.

And I've always loved the fandom. It was a welcoming and happy place to be back when the show first aired. I don't think fandom can really exist like that anymore. (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Anyway, if you're reading this and have never seen Yuri on Ice, go watch it. It's literally a masterpiece on Sayo and Kubo's end of things and has excellent characters and storytelling.

im so fucking sad

te odio Mappa, mientras yo viva tendrás un Hater. (se siente raro publicar en español por aqui, but idk how to translate this into english, this a hispanic meme... Maybe "you going to fall, Mappa"?? )

isn’t it ironic that the media will never understand victor’s personal perspective at his prime despite being so dearly beloved and in the same way us viewers will never get to understand him either because all we have of that is a clip of him skating and yuuri (a fan’s perspective)

im so fucking sad

we never got to hear his story.

I am so fucking sad

If you're in the yuri on ice fandom, PLEASE keep it alive. Write fics, draw fanart, post your rambles and rants, and never forget what mappa took from us

surprise it's yuri!!!in 2024

Ilia fucking Malinin’s world record breaking free skate

Oh my God every bit of this is wild

-when he does the first big jump the announcers start screaming. I don't understand enough of what I'm looking at to get what about this is breaking records but the announcers screaming was a pretty big clue

-He's dancing to music from Succession????? I don't recognize all of it but some of it is definitely the theme from Succession. At one point the audience claps along to the music. And I'm not sure if it's out of support for the skater or because they like the song 🤣

-when he finishes he just lays down on the ice incredible

THAT'S MY BOY!!! I SKATE AT HIS RINK!!!

Some other notes for everyone:

In short, this kid is wild, had the performance of a lifetime, and I had the blessed opportunity to witness it.

to the folks asking for a “none” option if u gonna vote that maybe this poll wasnt for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YURI KATSUKIS HUSBAND

Thinking about those ice guys again…

In response to Slate's article on the possibility having non-heteromative team in figure skating (particularly, ice dance and pairs), Oniceperspective shared a glimpse of Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) working on their same-sex program. You can see how they switch the leading figure between them.

You can see them trying out lifts in this video.
