Comment on Peak This Season

Journal With Witch is absolutely incredible, and Frieren is pretty good too. Someone else mentioned You and I Are Polar Opposites, and I pretty much agree with what they had to say about it. Another favorite of mine right now is the second season of Medalist.
Medalist is a story about a girl who wants to become a figure skater, but in the figure skating world someone who hasn’t started yet at 11 years old is basically a washed up old lady. She runs into a coach who also started late, and then they have an incredible sports anime together. The manga is marvelous. The first season of the anime adaptation was good. The second season seems to have fixed some of the minor animation issues the first season had, and so far I’m enjoying it just as much as I enjoyed the source material. It’s really fun.
Overall this season is nuts. It’s a good time to be an anime fan!

I heard about Medalist when it was first coming out, but it just didn’t appeal to me at all. I usually do like sports anime, but I think the fact it was a child kind of turned me off it.
Indeed :DD

If it makes it any more appealing to you, it’s just as much about the coach as it is about the child. Also, her goal is to compete in the Olympics. That presumably means she’ll be at least a little bit older by the time the series ends.
