This clip could have been further trimmed to just Yuna's skating sequence, which is powerful / inspiring in its own right.

But the interaction between athlete and coach is so heartwarming.

Yuna's self-doubt at the end - despite having just pulled off prodigy-level moves - made me want to hug her so bad. I am so glad Shinichirou showed her the support he did instead of chastising her. If I were in his shoes, her little "Sensei!" at the end would have made me fold.

These segments showed so much of the characters' personalities it felt like such a waste to leave them out.

(Plus, it's poetic that the clip starts and ends with Yuna calling out to her sensei.)

The first series was shockingly good, this one has barely started and it’s just been one slam dunk after another. Episode 4 made me catch my breath.

And the animation is perfect. It looks better than a lot of theatrical movies. I don’t know what happened to get this show greenlit, and at such an insane quality level, but I wish it would happen more often.

I have catbox issues (which idk how to solve). Could you provide alternative link, please?

Thanks for the hosting reccs. Hope this works: https://chibi.iitranq.co.uk/VXIR3KN7eaRe.mp4

it does, thank you! I mentally moved this title higher in my watch-later list.
