Fans give up hope on Yuri on Ice movie after Mappa CEO's heartbreaking comments

The Yuri on Ice movie garnered a ton of attention when the film was first announced. Yuri on Ice: Adolescence was announced way back in 2017 and it has been over six years since fans received any updates about the same.Naturally, the fanbase slowly began losing hope, and the final nail in the coffin was the statement issued by the CEO of MAPPA. Manabu Otsuka shared his thoughts on the matter and said that the primary reason why the project isn't being worked on is the lack of revenue generated by this series.&quot;'Yuri!!! on ICE' produced by our company turned out to be a big hit, but compared to the results, the amount of money coming into the studio was insignificant. Hit titles cannot be produced under control, so unless we take full advantage of the limited opportunities we have, we will not be able to grow as a company,&quot; he said.There is no doubt that MAPPA has its hands full at the moment, animating some of the biggest titles in the industry, but fans are noticeably upset that the studio has given up on the Yuri on Ice movie.Fans on Twitter react to MAPPA CEO's statement on Yuri on Ice movieAoi | Momiji's Real Mom@AoikunRIP Ice Adolescence.
