if you ever wanted the exact Opposite of the Nice Soft Team Performance Sports Boys of Bakuten, you can go to Skate Leading Stars where they are the Meanest HotHeaded Team Performance Sports Boys for no damn reason

(im only 3 eps in and ill continue but my thoughts for now)

i think its dumb to compare it to YOI just because its on ice. i wasnt sure if skate leading was real but i looked at some reviews and it sounded like it was a fake sport to sell boys and drama, and i think theres absolutely nothing wrong with that

the problem, for me, is that im going to compare this to (as i stated above) Bakuten, another team performing sport, and the vibes i get from the two shows are Totally Different. For Bakuten (love my soft boys), it was about the togetherness but also just the joy in performing. When they compete with other teams, its not a direct one on one, like theyre not physically fighting it out against each other on the court/stage but theyre beating their own personal scores while also hoping to top their rivals.

for SKS, the heat the characters bring is more on par with the Ball Sports (or whatever court sports), where they Want to go Head on Head. Trying to take a Performance Sport like skating and turning it hot blooded just doesnt give me the satisfaction i would get if they physically were on the same court together.

also im not saying the MC(s) are unlikeable, but the MCs are unlikeable 😂

Hot Head Maeshima here needs to get slapped a couple of times. Sasugai could do it but i also would slap him a couple of times too. I think they are an interesting duo if they want to make me root for them, but i feel like theyd fit better in either a different sport or even a different genre overall.

i am slightly curious about shinozaki (kujo tenn,bungo bongo looking ass hair cut), but i guess i just want to see the Blue Powerhouse School perform

the rest of the cast are fine, super tropey as you can tell what their personalities are from just looking at them or a single line. im also interested in Umehara's chara (Himekawa) and unfortunately i think Maeno's chara is gorgeous (my damn megane weakness)

I cant seem to get away from Saito Soma, leave me alone man. also for the life of me can not recognize Yuma so I think its hilarious he is MC while Satou Gen who voices Kubota (certified cutie) was Azemichi in Kabaddi is also here. the tiny pink haired gremlin Is NOT voiced by Ayu this time! Shocker!!!
