If the only known similarities were "falling in love" + "figure skating" I'd say sure, it's a coincidence. There were movies and books about that before YOI. But the summary and the title we have way more similarities than that.

For what it's worth I don't care that it's straight. Hallmark movies are made for straight women who like straight romance, nbd. I'm just cringing at how obvious the ripoff is. If they admit it was inspired by an anime I won't even care that the movie's being made.

http://www.novelok.com/love-ice-lauren-marie I don't know if Halkmark based it on the book rather the anime, though.

Plus the movie was made AFTER YOI started airing; the actors weren't even cast until I think late October?

That's some pretty damning evidence.

I'm on team "yes it absolutely is a rip-off building on the hype of a good romantic plot but it's laughably terrible (THE TOWN THEY LIVE IN IS CALLED SKATEVILLE) and is going to impact YOI's bottom line ZERO" so. People can get outraged all they like, and I understand that, but I've got so many more things to focus on besides a terribad Hallmark movie.
