I found this underrated gem through a recommendation on Yuri on Ice's Animelist page and was on my watchlist for a long time. I gotta say, even though the art wasn't great, the visuals with Sakurano ice skating was pretty neat. I am aware that this anime was aired around 2005 so of course the art wouldn't be as perfect as it was in Yuri on Ice. Anyways I thought this anime was charming. It was adorable to see in the end with Sakurano and Pete skating together as well as sharing a kiss. It was too bad that he had to disappear after the 100 days he spent with Sakurano and she didn't get the courage to admit her love to him. Damn it kinda breaks your heart man like the kid died pretty young and the fact we don't know what happened to Sakurano. I'm just hoping she had a happy story with someone else!
Very well done skating love story as well as it being sad. However it was kinda motivating in a way like the character Pete was always positive and having David Lee McKinney who did a great performance in voicing him on the English Dub.
If you like Yuri on Ice and want to see classic anime for a change, this anime should definitely be part of your Watchlist!
