Yuri!!! On Ice

I just finished this anime and i absolutely loved it, it was extremely well done! I can't recommend it enough. The characters are absolutely adorable and the overall story is so wholesome and heartwarming!!!!!!! The relationship between Victor and Yuri is pure gold.

This was such a wonderful anime. Showing beautiful and realistic figure skating (all were choreographed by actual figure skaters), a wonderful original soundtrack and also managing to show a realistic queer relationship without it being the main story line makes this one of my absolute favourites. The story focuses on Yuri, a figure skater who has hit a low in his carrier. Whilst sulking back home his figure skating idol, Victor, turns up and offers to become his coach and help him win the Grand Prix Final (where he was previously disgraced). The relationship between Yuri and Victor is wonderfully built up and explained through out the story and you're also introduced to many other memorable characters, each with distinctive traits and styles of skating or influence. The story follows Yuri's progress and interactions with the other skaters ending in the Grand Prix Final. Nail biting to the end and wonderfully written, I thoroughly enjoyed this an would recommend to anyone who likes adorable beautiful stories.

A surprisingly phenomenal anime with deep emotional themes and three-dimensional, rich, and colorful characters.

Yuri on Ice starts out seeming like a regular anime that is meant to appeal to the regular anime fan base. At first, the main three characters come across as fairly one-dimensional characters; Yuri is an introverted young man without a lot of friends, Viktor is a pretty boy who can charm basically anyone, and Yurio is an angry and victory obsessed kid.

However, it takes a turn as we are shown each of the characters' thoughts. Especially when the skaters go on the ice, we get to explore the characters mind and their reason for choosing their music and programs. Often times, their programs are related to something that is important to them, and while skating, most of the show's character development takes place. A truly enchanting show that is sure to capture your attention.

*Side note: The show's figure skating animation is quite impressive.

Loved it! I loved the characters, I loved the story, I loved everything about it! It makes me give 1 star to all of the other animes I watched and 10 to it. Most of the things that happend during the anime and even the ending are between expected and unexpected, that's what makes it so great.

This show has changed my life in so many ways. Back in 2016 after first watching this show I went to fight for the Houthi rebels because of it. Also yurio is the most beautiful man I have ever seen.
