Yuri!!! On Ice

 

81149.jpg

The show's story revolves around Yuri Katsuki, who carried all of Japan's hopes on his shoulders to win at the Gran Prix Finale ice skating competition, but suffered a crushing defeat. He returns home to Kyushu and half feels like he wants to retire, and half feels like he wants to continue ice skating. With those mixed feelings swirling inside him, he confines himself inside his parents house. Suddenly the five-time consecutive world championship ice skater Viktor Nikiforov appears before him, and along with him is Yuri Plisetsky, a young Russian figure skater who is already defeating his seniors. Viktor and both Yuris take up the challenge on an unprecedented Gran Prix series.

 

Anyone watching this anime? It's so much fun tbh. And I always enjoyed watching ice skating. Oh, and for those of you who are kind of averted towards yaoi: Definitely has yaoi undertones (stemming most from Victor's weird persona), but I wouldn't classify this as Yaoi.

Well, I think that because the author is hellsing author.
So people expect it would be hellsing level of quality.

Does it a disapoint?

I mean it only started but I hear that the manga doesn't clear up the plot. I will continue but I think it's more of some just like it because violence and gore. My first impression at least.

I know Hellsing and all but still. I guess I should just follow my own way. Not saying that they are bad, I guess I just feel sorry for other series getting completely overshadowed.

Like something that has more than just waifu walkthrough or fan service. The irony is that I don't mind sports one, because it feels like they know how to cooperated with actual elements that I can enjoy. I don't know. It is what it is.

Well, blood, violence, and sex always sell.
Eventhough drifter lack sex, it's pure violence and japan glorification.

I ended up watching this a little after it finished. I was expecting it to fall flat of the massive amounts hype it has, but I tried to go in open minded and give it a chance.

Overall I feel it's pretty average. Some decent characters, okay storyline, the animation for most of the skating scenes was pretty awful though, with only a few exceptions. I hated watching most of them cause they looked so awkward. I know it's hard to animate that kind of thing, but with ice skating being one of its main draws you'd think more effort would've been put into it. It was disappointing.

People (on Tumblr at least) have been treating Yuri on Ice like its the best thing to ever happen to anime just because of the relationship between Yuri and Victor (which frankly, I've seen better, but whatever) to the point it started to drive me a little nuts. It's DVD sales have even beaten One Piece, last I heard. To each their own I guess, but it's a shame how YOI ended up completely overshadowing some other significantly better shows from the last year.

Okay, rant over.

I feel the same. Overall, I feel the show was just too cheesy towards the end. Too much focus on the side characters. Yuri's and Victor's relationship was whatever to me, lol. And they clearly had a limited animation budget

When this came out and my social feeds keeps on showing Yuri on Ice i was not in anyway interested. as i don't like going with the popular fad of the crowd.

but just the other week, I spent my weekend watching this (dubbed)

 

I have so many things to do that time and has tons of backlogs to watch but for some unknown reason i ended up watching the whole thing.

and guess what?

I actually like it. so much that i find myself re watching some episodes... I guess i really enjoyed the show.

and my youtube feeds keeps on showing ice skating videos lol.

 

Its unexpectedly a good watch. Sure it isn't the best anime out there.. animation-wise, story-wise etc.. but i just really enjoyed watching it and i guess that is enough.
