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 Junichi 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.
Update: Here's Tosshi's (the voice of Yuuri) goodbye tweet

Suwabe and Tosshi's comments on ICE ADOLESCENCE cancellation.
Suwabe commented pretty fast after the official message, but I knew Tosshi would have a hard time saying anything because he's so connected to this character. He loves Yuri so much. So I was waiting for his comment, and it indeed came a whole day after.
The memories will never fade! Thank YOU both <3333

On some level I feel silly for being so devastated by Ice Adolescence’s cancellation, what with the world a literal dumpster fire. But Yuri on Ice meant so much to so many. Representation. Beauty. Escape. Overcoming our image of ourselves. Love in its multiple forms.
And I think my partner said it best after watching YOI for the first time-
“I wish the world were more like that.”

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)

if those leaks about ice adolescence are true and the movie really made it all the way to post-production before being completely scrapped then i hope someone sends the entire movie in its post-production state to the lost media wiki, i hope it becomes verifiable public knowledge that mappa cancelled a movie that was damn near finished and in the final stages of editing, and i hope the fact that they let people put that much work into it for no reason when they're already known to be an awful studio to work with and then strung fans along for years about it becomes a controversy that they can never escape from. i hate this so much.

crazy how yuri on ice has finally been carried outside and shot in the head like a sickly elderly dog and meanwhile the swimming anime is a 10 year old unkillable roach getting ready for her summer formal

the only silver lining in the YOI movie getting shelved is how it's brought the fandom out of the woodwork. it feels like we're all old neighbors who have come back to the old local diner one more time before it gets closed down.
