It has been a hot minute since the world has heard from Yuri on Ice. Years ago, Studio MAPPA was brought to the world stage when it released the ice-skating anime. The original series was a hit from episode one, and during its run, Yuri on Ice grew to dominate the industry. In fact, the series still stands as one of the best sports anime ever, and there is more of Yuri on Ice coming this way. And yes, we do have an update on the anime’s first film now that 2023 is here.
Of course, there is good news and bad news as is always the case with Yuri on Ice. The good news is that the IP chose to update us at all in 2023. And the bad news? Well, it is that the update is the same one we’ve gotten for years now.
