Studio MAPPA is once again facing backlash from fans, this time due to the cancellation of the highly anticipated Yuri!!! On Ice movie. The sequel film, focusing on character Viktor, was announced in 2017 but faced multiple delays before being ultimately canceled. Fans are expressing disappointment and pointing out that the original anime was a significant milestone for the studio. However, many feel that MAPPA held onto the movie for too long out of greed, causing outrage among fans. This news adds to the studio's history of controversies, including poor working conditions for animators. Despite previous successes, such as the acclaimed second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, MAPPA continues to receive criticism for its decisions. The cancelation of Yuri!!! On Ice the Movie: Ice Adolescence has left fans heartbroken and questioning the studio's intentions.
