That's it guys. yuri on icegay Skating anime took the world by storm in 2016, there will be no long-awaited sequel, Movie “Yuri on Ice”: Frozen youth, because the movie was canceled. A moment of silence for those present at the event that re-established gay culture. We are hurting.
The announcement came from a post via official yuri on ice social media accounts, shared in both Japanese and English. Unfortunately, the statement doesn't say why the film was canceled or why it took so long in development, just that “various circumstances” caused developer MAPPA to shelve the project.
The full statement reads as follows:
Thank you so much for your continued support.”Yuri!!! on the ice”.
About postponing the release “YURI!!! Movie on Ice: ICE YOUTH”, we have come to the unfortunate decision to cancel its production.
We are deeply sorry for not being able to meet the expectations of everyone who has waited and continued to support us throughout the years.
The production committee and staff were in continuous discussion to produce and make the film, but due to various circumstances, we had to make the difficult decision to stop production.
We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to its launch and thank you once again for your continued support.
Frozen youth would have followed a younger Victor Nikiforov, one of the original series' two main characters, who serves as main character Yuri's coach and lover as he attempts to ace his failing competitions ice. MAPPA has been fairly quiet about the project after its initial announcement in 2017, although they did release a teaser trailer in 2020 showing teenager Victor on an ice rink. So after four years of almost nothing, it's not surprising to hear that the movie wasn't a success.
But what a shame. Even though there was only one season that ended nearly ten years ago, yuri on ice remains popular to this day and fans are understandably disappointed. While Some aspects of the show have been divisivefor example, the main couple's kiss is somewhat obscured (to the extent that one has to frame-by-frame analysis to prove that it was, in fact, a lip lock), it remains a staple of sports anime. It's a shame things ended this way.
