Ice Skating or Figure Skating is the focus of these anime. Training and competing in tournaments or championships are common themes in sports titles, as well as individual or team spirit, or being an underdog who goes against the odds to succeed. See all anime tags.
And there are a few anime which have themes which are close, such as the rollerblading/skateboarding aesthetic of "Air Gear" and the surfer cloture parallels in "Eureka 7." Both are very popular and successful titles. There is also this clip featuring a skateboarding (and baseball-bat-wielding) character from the manga "k-project" ...
Roller skates are genuinely scary on hills, even gentle hills. I had some pretty uncomfortable falls on roller skates in the past couple weeks, because again, when you start to lose your balance, your wheels are spinning and it takes a completely different approach to stay standing than what you are used to.

It’s hard to say which is better when it comes to content creation because some comedy shows produced by America are absolutely top quality, for example, Rick & Morty. However, making the statement that Japanese animation has a larger quantity of (significantly more diverse) animation with deep and provocative story telling is an easy statement to make.
It matters what a character feels. Whether it is suffering or anger or desire, there is a feeling that it matters what you feel. Characters don’t just die and things go on as they did before. Scars last. People aren’t forgotten. I think this resonates with a lot of us who have lost someone or something. It is the longing that makes a lot of literature great. We can’t always get things to the way they were but anime often recognizes that our pain shapes us.
To wrap it up with a simple conclusion. In my opinion, Japanese animation is not just better than American animation, it is uncontested worldwide. It is supported by a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger industry, that has more time, money, expertise and cultural identity invested into it. America tends to focus more on live action & CGI and the result is the current imbalance that I’d like to believe I’ve highlighted here with this post.
Even the bad guys often have a point. Most good animes don’t have simply bad characters. Even the bad characters are often thoughtful and convincing in certain ways. Some want to destroy things but that is often a result of personal tragedy or ends justifying the means kinds of thinking.
