Anime series Medalist

[TallyT]

As the CD/DVD with Bow and Arrow / Plazma was released today, an interview with Kenshi Yonezu was published today in which he is talking, among other things, about how and why he got involved with The Medalist, why he fell in love with the manga, and later with the anime, what it all meant to him in this point in life, on his collaboration with Yuzuru, etc. Very interesting. In Japanese but you can use an online translation tool

米津玄師、初のドーム＆海外ツアーから得た「確信めいた予感」 - モデルプレス

米津玄師が6月11日にニューシングル「Plazma / BOW AND ARROW」をリリースした。アニメ主題歌『機動戦士Gundam GQuuuuuuX』の主題歌「Plazma」とTVアニメ『メダリスト』のオープニング主題歌「BOW AND ARROW」を収録した本作。両曲の制作背景や楽曲に込めた思いに加えて、米津自身がジャケットのイラストを描き下ろし初回限定盤のデザインを監修したシングルのパッケージについて、羽生結弦が出演し大きな話題を呼んだ「BOW AND ARROW」など両曲のミュージックビデオについて、そして今年開催された初のドームツアーと海外ツアーについて、語ってもらった。

I love the way he describes the sensations of skating, sound and breath etc. His respect for Yuzuru is so clear (is is every artist lucky enough to work with him).

And as we are heading into Season 2, the Bow and Arrow anniversary is being celebrated...


... and the question of Jun Yodaka comes back urgent as ever: is he? Or is he not? Lol.

I know Medalist is based on the manga but Season 2 Episode 5, up just after the Olympics, feels strangely up-to-date with Jun Yodaka commenting on backflips of all possible on-ice movements , plus other funny shenanigans . Go, enjoy!
