Medalist

A young skater with plenty to prove meets a coach whose own history gives every practice session extra weight in Medalist. This 13-episode TV anime turns athletics, ballet, and dancing into a character-driven coming-of-age story, with comedy softening the pressure without removing it. The focus stays close to effort: learning technique, facing expectations, and finding the confidence to keep performing when progress feels slow. Its manga source gives the series a clear emotional framework, while ENGI Co. Ltd. uses CGI as part of a production built around movement and performance. A score of 8.3 reflects how strongly the character work connects with viewers. Medalist suits anyone who enjoys sports anime where training matters as much as competition, and where small personal victories carry real dramatic force.
