In VO you don’t usually have much control over what you end up working on. So when the stars align and you get to work on something you REALLY love and relate to it feels like pure magic. Medalist, and by extension voicing Inori, feels like that to me. (2/5) - ThreadSky

I’m not a figure skater but I relate so much to Inori’s struggle but for acting; I grew up in an extremely rural area where there were almost zero opportunities to pursue the craft. I only stumbled into voiceover when I realized it was the one way I could pursue acting from where I was. (3/5)

As a result, I’ve always worried I was behind in terms of experience or skill, and while I still feel the limitations of my abilities sometimes all I can do is keep working from where I’m at and continue to grow. (4/5)

Inori and Tsukasa’s story will resonate with anyone who has felt similarly and wanted to pursue something they love, especially when worried it was too late.

SO WITH ALL THAT SAID!! I hope folks enjoy Medalist ep 1!! People put lots of love and passion into it and I think it shows! (5/5)

Congrats! First episode and I’m already identifying with Tsukasa. He’s the kind of adult I needed growing up, and the kind of adult I hope to be. Reminds me a lot of Onizuka-sensei 🥹
Looking forward to the rest of the season!

Awwwwww dude that’s so lovely!!! 🥺💖 I’m so glad you got to work on something that resonated that hard with you, congratulations again!!!

Fantastic first episode and I feel the same way about my own job and my own hobbies especially as I'm now fully in my 30s.

Add that to the already very harsh world of figure skating where 25 is considered over the hill and this has real potential to be an incredible anime.

thank you! yes, it’s a little too real 😭 I know I just said I relate a lot to Inori but I think a lot of us relate to Tsukasa too. but hopefully our takeaway is that we can still channel our passions in new ways just like he has through helping Inori (at least that’s how I see it!)

Yeah that's what I'm guessing. If you can't reach that height, helping somebody else do so is just as fulfilling.

Tsukasa is also a loveable dork.
