Can’t wait for the Yuri On Ice Movie? Here’s all you need to know
Yuri!!! on Ice aired its first season in December 2016.
Since then, fans have patiently waited for the franchise to return.
The anime is set to have its own feature film, a highly requested project announced back in 2017.
Fans have been eagerly waiting ever since.
What to Expect
The film adaptation is expected to explore Victor’s past in more detail.
Yuri!!! on Ice has gained a huge fanbase for its unique story and stunning ice-skating animation.
While the TV series became popular for Victor and Yuri’s love story, the movie will take a different route.
It will focus on Victor’s teenage years and will likely come out before Yuri!!! on Ice Season 2.
The Stars of Yuri on Ice Movie
The movie will be starred by Japanese voice actors as well. The following casts of Yuri!!! On Ice TV anime will reprise their roles for the film:
Yuri On Ice: Ice Adolescence Plot
The film will be made as a prequel of the TV series and would be subtitled as Ice Adolescence.
Based on the movie trailers we’ve seen, the story will revolve on Victor’s life in his homeland, Russia.
As the title suggests, the audience will get to know more about his adolescent life as well as the events that shaped him to become a figure skater.
Of course, it’s highly probable that Yuri will also be in the movie.
It can also be seen in the trailer that Victor and his dog were both walking on an icy beach. The visuals showed Victor wearing a scarf as the wind blows through his long hair.
Now we all remember from the show that Victor had long hair when he was a teenager.
Ice Adolescence Release Date
The movie was originally set to release in 2019, but the production studio later announced a delay.
MAPPA explained that the postponement was to allow more time for production and to improve the film’s content.
Fans were hoping for a late 2020 release, but the ongoing global crisis has made meeting deadlines much harder.
We’ll need to stay tuned for further updates.
