Let’s Go All Out After Yuri On Ice!

Tue, 02 May 2017 21:11:36 +0000

Let’s start at the beginning.

Yuri On Ice was my first, and by first I mean first sports anime (get your head out of the gutter). After finishing the first season, I immediately wanted more. But waiting months for the second season wasn’t going to fly. So I decided to pursue other sports related series that would fill the void in my aching otaku heart. So the hunt was on!

After literally 10 minutes of searching, I found them. From swimming to cheerleading, there is an anime for just about every sport. I’m at the point where I’m waiting for an anime about competitive trampolining.

But if you’re looking for a short Slice of Life anime like Yuri On Ice I would definitely recommend the series All Out! It’s a rugby anime that is absolutely full of intense game scenes, team bonding, hot characters as well as a few homo-erotic moments that Yuri on Ice is known for. All Out! definitely filled a large portion of the Yuri On Ice void. I would truly recommend watching while waiting for the second season of YOI.

All Out! as well as many other Slice of Life sports anime including Yuri On Ice can be found on Funimation.

Hayao Miyazaki left Studio Ghibli for retirement in 2013.

Hayao Miyazaki, widely known for his work on My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, is now preparing to come out of retirement in order to make a new film for Studio Ghibli. Fellow producer Toshio Suzuki, has confirmed this news in a pre-Oscars interview last month while attending the Academy Awards for his film The Red Turtle. In the interview, Suzuki stated that Miyazaki presented him a story board for the project that Miyazaki had created in just 20 minutes. 20 MINUTES!

It is speculated that this film will be a feature length version of Miyazaki’s CGI animated short, Boro the Caterpillar. Although Suzuki did not say much about the film, he did reveal that it “is really interesting.” There is yet to be a release date set for this project.
