SK8 the Infinity is a Winter 2021 original anime produced by Studio Bones and directed by Hiroko Utsumi, who is best known for her work on Free! and the anime adaptation of Banana Fish. It’s a vibrant, exciting story about a secret skateboarding competition called “S”, where people from all different backgrounds come together to wear flamboyant outfits and race down dangerous mountain roads like some kind of amazing cross between ‘80s underground gay clubs and Initial D.
Our two protagonists, passionate veteran skater Reki and Canadian snowboarder/newbie skateboarder Langa, grow close in no time at all and have more than enough homoerotic moments for us to believe that it might be possible for them to pull a Yuri on Ice and make it official by the end of the series. Let’s examine the evidence!
