Medalist
One of the first names on my predicted leak list seems to have hit.

I don't have much hope in this adaptation.
Not until a good studio and high budget are secured. The paneling, and the powerful emotional delivery is not easy to translate into anime. If they can't do a superb job, then mind as well leave this thing be. This is one of those work of art that I don't need a poorly made anime as a distraction. |

Ice Skating anime are rough to say the least. It is incredibly difficult to animate the sport at a level that can rival the real thing. You need a strong staff and just as importantly a healthy schedule.
The most prominent ice skating anime, Yuri on Ice, had a disastrous production with a combination of poor and outright unfinished animation. In the broadcast version, performances were often riddled with regular cuts to the crowd to try to mask how terribly behind schedule the production was. This may seem unrelated, but this seasons Tengoku Daimakyou had one of the best final not pre-animated PVs I’ve ever seen. It is a complete production meaning all 13 episodes are already done. Hence the quality of the cuts used and why the show has been arguably the best production of the season with no dips in quality. A strong staff and a healthy schedule. Unless Medalist is treated the same way and given the tools and time a manga like that would need to shine as an anime, I have no confidence in an anime adaption.

And the studio is ENGI. Does not massively fill one with confidence (and I think you can assume the skating will be all or nearly all CGI).
Edit: Yasutaka Yamamoto/Hanada Jukki directing and writing. Pretty solid pair.

On one hand director and writer are good. On the other hand one of the worst possible studio choices. I will be moderately optimistic still because the manga is popular so Kadokawa may give it a priority.

That sucks. Kadokawa just sent this to ENGI. At the very least, this would be like Blue Period, a great source adapted by a lackluster studio.
EDIT: Apparently Medalist is published by Kodansha. Well that's confusing. Why bring a series to a studio that's basically focused on Kadokawa projects?
