Honestly I would prefer THAT over what we're likely to get of the whole inspiration thing and Inori's issues being sorted from watching Hikaru's performance as it trivilializes her relationships with her coaches and family especially Tsukasa and Mika and other skaters she looks up to like Iruka...

Yeah that's what I'm seeing. Her thought process comes from a good place(just wants her daughter to be safe and okay), but it's getting badly warped with repressive conformity and lack of acceptance due to societal fear of persecution. Combine it with the generational trauma of growing up in...

Realistically, no. Series jumped the shark HARD with Hikaru. It's telegraphing the "author fiat" win way too much and way too hard that there's no way to view Inori winning without a sort asterisk to it.

Good God YES! More stuff like Bakarina x Maria and Lisolette x Finne PLEASE!

Maybe it's just me, but I think the fact that Tong Tong's mom didn't grow up in rural poverty and seems to be a Glamorous Single Mother to Lin Luxi's Struggling Single Mother might be a big point of important contrast.

I'm Latino and it's the same thing over here. I think a lot of people just don't understand or WANT to understand how brutal shit like this can be where you're poor AND have had to work from a young age in what is likely a backbreaking soul sucking job is like and the impact it'll have on you as...

Yeah it's really weird and kind of creepy actually. Like, you guys KNOW that people can purely platonic relationships and that those can be just as important and necessary(and in some cases even more so) than romantic/sexual ones right? Also Tong Tong's mom is very much into women AT ALL from...

There's definitely some subtext, but I get what you mean.

Agree with the second one for sure. The first I'd like to believe, but honestly it's looking grim all-around. Not just in her reaching that height, but also how she goes about fixing her mental and emotional hangups. Haven't watched it, but didn't Trusova have some falls or misses in her...

@J_the_Man I agree. The issue to me is that I've noticed a pattern of "correction" whenever she strays too far from being the broken meek girl with zero confidence, self-worth, and pride. Sort of like she's not being ALLOWED those things and every time she builds up to those things it's...

This was a big criticism on /a/ when the raw dropped that realistically, there's nowhere for Inori to go from here. The gap is just impossible to clear without injury on Hikaru which would be unsatisfying or pure author fiat which would feel like an asspull. This combined with how realistically...

Not just that, but the idealization of this routine and how it's for Inori like it's an emotionally profound thing when Inori pretty much seems like she's in HORRIBLE emotional pain in the last page as well as the comments by the older skaters about how her legs are likely giving out due to the...

I think that's why Tsukasa puts so much focus and emphasis on physical training since he knows the risks and wants to mitigate the damage as much as possible. I also feel the same way about the reduction of interpersonal feelings and emotions to just shipping fodder. I do think that there's some...

Realistically, this routine is HORRIFIC because a kid her age does NOT have the developed muscle strength for multiple quads and triples like that on top of it being HORRENDOUSLY damaging. Basically if the series wants to maintain an air of realism, Hikaru is physically self-destructing in real...

I'm definitely thinking large scale time travel of some kind is gonna happen since it's a classic JRPG staple.

I'm possibly thinking before as well as possibly a different continent/region. My reasoning is that the Surreal Swords aren't mentioned in Helck, but several that would certainly qualify appear(Aegis's Sword, Azudra's Hero Killer, Rafaed's Greatsword).

It's been made SUPER obvious that that's neither going to happen or what Xiao Lu wants from her relationship with her mom. Like OF COURSE this shit is gonna get addressed and Xiao Lu and her mom sort and figure shit out and that there's a lot of complicated messy baggage. It comes off as people...

Just leave my old repost. The problem with any and all stories of this type(ie, kids vs parents, old vs young, etc) from my experience seeing them and the communities they foster is that no matter what people say, they DO NOT want complex writing or characters, EVER.

People seem to be missing the crux of the issue of why Xiao Lu's mom was mad and tethering it to hee being gay when that's not the point. By this point she already KNOWS that her daughter is gay and as per Tong Tong's mom was coming to terms with it and becoming more accepting. The issue and...

From the title same. I actually REALLY like the where the author might be going with this since Xiao Lu's mom seems more angry about the lie and seeming manipulation rather than her daughter being gay and into furry stuff which is a lot more understandable. I think something that gets lost all...
