“I didn’t expect to cry in every episode”: Medalist Is So Emotionally Moving That It’s Making Men in Their Late Thirties Bawl Like Babies
Around a decade ago, Mappa released Yuri on Ice!, the ice figure skating anime that gripped the world. This year, another figure skating anime debuted in January, from which fans had somewhat similar expectations, but Medalist defied them all.
Like Yuri on Ice!, Medalist also features the journey of a student and coach, but the development thereafter is quite different. While focusing on the competitive spirit of the sport, it also shows the emotionally vulnerable sides of its protagonists.

And while it’s hard to believe, Medalist has engaged people from all age groups. From teens to people in their 30s and 40s, anime has made almost everyone cry.
