Medalist Anime Film: New Visual and Teaser Unveiled

Alright, fine. Another anime film is coming. The 'Medalist' anime film has graced us with a new visual and a teaser video, and apparently, it's slated for a 2027 release. This sequel will pick up the narrative threads following the events of the TV anime's second season. While I try not to get too invested in these things – they're all pretty much the same, right? – the original series did have some moments that… well, they were decent enough.

I suppose I'll grudgingly admit that the visual has a certain polish to it. The teaser, while brief, hints at the continuation of the characters' journeys. It's always a gamble when a film follows a TV series; the animation quality can fluctuate wildly depending on the studio and their current workload. Let's just hope they've maintained the integrity of the 'sakuga' if there were any notable sequences in the original run. Otherwise, what's the point?

Look, I'm not saying I'm eagerly anticipating this. It’s just… if they can manage to deliver some genuine emotional resonance and not just rely on tired tropes, then maybe, just maybe, it'll be worth a watch. Don't expect me to gush about it, though. It's just an anime film.
