All the jokes this guy made we’re hilarious, but the panic in his voice at “don’t let Chris on the bed, *DONT LET CHRIS ON THE BED*” made me choke on my own tears I was laughing too fucking hard
Becoming a fan of a dead fandom is dangerous. The movie was promised in 2017 and we still don’t have it yet. 😭😭 Yes I know it’s cancelled 😭 shocked? No. Sad? Very.
Okay, let’s put things in perspective. The reason why the kisses in the show are censored is because the creators wanted to keep that Sport anime genre rank. If they had shown the kissing, then it would’ve also been marked as “Shounen ai” which would also make it be marked in Japan as not for kids. They wanted to “Make History” by attempting to do the unexpected and the censored kiss left people stunned upon release. That’s not to say it didn’t anger some people but it still worked in their favor. Oh and this includes them fanning the flames with the creative censorship of the bath scenes too. As a bit extra, around the time they were planning season two the creators had supposedly dropped info that season two was going to feature the Olympics… however, Russia was banned from the Olympic Games right around that same time due to the investigation and discovery of doping programs. Victor is Russian obviously, and if any athlete from Russia wanted to compete in the Olympics they were not to be allowed to represent their Country’s Flag on them and instead go in as independent. Russia made their own version of the Olympic Games after that from what I had been informed. So that’s probably at least one reason season two never really came about. Just someone passing along info that wasn’t asked for, love the videos my guy👍 Oh yeah, about the butts… the creators hired someone specifically because of his talent in drawing ass. Every ass shot was done by that person lol
Something I really enjoyed throughout this reaction series is Danny's enthusiasm for the romance. Not just because it is a queer romance but because it's a romance and self-discovery story that is known throughout the internet as something mostly women are excited about, but Danny spent hours watching these characters and though it's not a shounen show or even a high-stakes "sports" show he was enthusiastic and cheered on the romance, was INVESTED in it. I don't know many male content creators that are so hyped about romance anime, let alone BL ones. It's not unnoticed and it's incredibly appreciated.

"You are the femme fatale of a pork cutlet bowl." "Are your parents... proud of you?" GAWD it's 10PM and i'm trying my best to hold back my cackle. You're the best 😭😭 Definitely subscribing!
Idk if anyone has said this but the skating scenes are actual routines that people are skating and the animation is following their movements! That's why it looks so smooth
@@Arilena55 ya I didn’t notice it either until this dude pointed it out and then I remembered that it’s animated over an actual person and I was like “OHHHHHH💡“😂
One of them was animation, if I remember. And I certainly remember all the spoofs on RU-vid showing the skating scenes… Wowza. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy it, but the rotoscoping caused some FRAMES.
A key point you missed in the timeline. The drunken dance off where Yuri lets his inner freak out didn't happen at a Christmas party. This was the happened at the end of season banquet after Yuri had totally bombed (after the crying in the bathroom scene, before Victor comes to Japan to become Yuri's coach.) A.K.A. That wiggle dance is the start of Victor's pursuit of Yuri...
You can literally SEE his opinion of the show drastically changing during the course of the show. Especially after episode 7. Like, you can tell he actually became a fan of this show in the second half and honestly, I relate.
I almost felt upset that i didn't watch the series first so when i got to this one I'll be more excited 😭 but at the same time i already screamed at this when i first saw it on youtube-
As an ex-competitive figure skater, Danny's lack of knowledge on the topic made his reactions even more hilarious 😂 "WHERE'S THE SPREAD EAGLE" Oh my sweet summer child lmao
This show was historic when it came out, especially for an anime that wasn't based on an existing manga. Its insane success is the reason why Mappa had the opportunity to start adapting the big shonens and become the household name they are today. It's all thanks to Yuri on ice even if people forget it. The thing that is so special is that it's realistic. Nothing that happens in this series is impossible in real figure staking, maybe highly uniteli but not impossible. The creators spent years researching for this show and it really portraits the sport SO well. Not only the correct jumps and competitions, but the overall trends and common occurencies in skating. Obviously Russia and Japan are the main players in skating also in real life (with the US), but there is so much more. For example the fact that Yuri does a quad flip, the same jump Victor always does, is telling because there are almost no skaters who do that quad. No skating routine shown in the series felt impossible and the way they change jumps mid performance is VERY realistic. There are some details that also show the dark aspects of skating. Yurio talking about growing up and not being able to jump anyone is a very serious problem in skating because you have these 15/16 year old kids winning everything and then retire as soon as their body changes. Or the way that Victor feels old at 27 and doesn't know what to do with his life anymore because competing after that age is dangerous. They even show how rigging happens in skating, with the way Yuri's last Eros program was underscored and how JJ got third even after all the mistakes while Otabek got fourth even if he skated clean. Stronger federations have more power and their skaters have an advantage even when they mess up. And obviously how they handles the romance and everything. They didn't classify the anime as a Bl, just as a sport anime which usually came with a lot of queerbaiting, so fans weren't expecting an actual kiss. They danced around what to show and not to show, probably because they had no idea how people would react to it, but overall the romance is present and it's not queerbaiting. The kiss broke the internet and no one was expecting it and no anime since then was able to recreate that. It was my first anime and I fell in love with it and will always have a special place in my heart. It's insane how much they could do with just 12 episodes, no existing manga and a studio that at the time was almost unknown. Nobody was expecting that level of success and its sales were CRAZY. It was in the top10 highest grossing franchisings in Japan in 2017, all franchisings not just anime. And fun fact: the Russian skater who won silver at the Olympics in 2018 in the ladies field was a huge fan of Yuri on ice and had the same tissue box with the dog. When she retired she gave the tissue box to a younger Russian skater who went on to win the silver medal at the 2022 Olympics. We can say the tissue box brings the Yuri's curse of the second place 😂 And lastly, one of the pairs did skate to the theme Yuri on ice during the 2018 Olympics and they arrived like in 8th place. The guy of the pair switched partners in the following years and he is now the reigning world champion in pairs. Truly legendary
The series was supposed to have a follow up with a movie about Victor's past and probably a second season, but stuff got complicated. Mappa had a boom after Yuri on ice and started taking on way too many big projects and their animators were always too busy with the shonens. Then the pandemic arrived and hit them like a truck. The last news about the movie were from the end of 2020 when they said it was still in developement, but they took on even more projects after that, so I don't think it will ever escape the limbo. Not to mention how right now making a movie set in Russia is a BAD idea. Not only for the war, but because the Russian skaters were accused of doping in the 2022 Olympics and have spent 1 season and an half banned from the sport. Not to mention how they are payed by the government. So yeah, terrible time. Recently the CEO of Mappa also said that while the series was such a huge success and it started Mappa's rise to stardom, the studio at the time was so broke that the project had to be financed basically entirely by other people and those people got the majority of the money and still hold their rights to get the same % of the sequels. So even if a sequel/movie is super successful, Mappa would still not make that much money compared to what they make now that they have better barganing power with the inventors. It's tragic because Yuri on ice gave them the chance to become bigger and they did have plans for it, but it probably will never see the light of day. They should just sell the rights to some other studio so they can keep going, but I don't think Mappa will do that. It's just weird seeing a studio being known for the big shonens while their roots were in a gay sport anime no one would have bet anything on. It's sad tbh, but it was good when it lasted. The character designer for JJK S2 is the same that worked on Yuri on ice and I can see and can't help getting emotional. The positive thing is that this year FINALLY we had Yukuru Hanyu, the greatest and most famous skater who ever lived, who skated to History Maker in a show. It was glorious and something we as fans dreamed of for years because the song seems made for him. And still, even after all the hardships at Mappa, Yuri on ice still made history and nothing will ever change that
Danny: "You don't have to bang in the first night!" Viktor: "LET'S HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY-" Also Danny's reaction to the bonus exhibition is _legendary._
Just wanted to comment "anyone else coming back to watch this after the news?" but nvm yes, we are gathering under Danny's reaction video for comfort ToT
Yep....wasn't surprised just very very disappointed. At least before we had the barest hope the series could continue with the movie, but now it just confirms that it's dead all the way. No season 2 and no movie.
@@karencoon6243 it's just the utter disappointment that even tho the film was practicaly done, they made us wait for 7 years and didn't bother to cancel it sooner. I get that they had bigger projects or that YOI didn't make them much money, but no one would react so strongly if they did this sooner. I really feel like it was because of homophobia and the creators tried to fight until the very end :')
@@nanawritesstuff Yeah I feel so bad for everyone who worked so hard on the film and the fans. It just really really sucks. I wanted to see that movie so bad!
Some friends of mine posed a funny question once. "throughout the series we see Viktor drunk, and Yuri drunk, but never at the same time... what happens when both are drunk?" and I, without missing a beat, replied, "Chris gets in on the sexy fun times" and none of them could argue against it, and we all laughed really hard. 🤣
Same here! Loved @dannymotta's reactions to this series! It kept popping up while I was watching Helluva Boss comic dubs and I have not watched Yuri for years now. It was pleasant to watch Danny's reactions to the HORRIBLE dub which took things out of so much context often!
I was going through a really hard time, my mother died suddenly and my friends came to town to support me. One the second night one of them wanted to put on something on the TV that was soothing and knew I liked anime. I hadn't even heard of Yuri on Ice but when the music started I sat up straight and for the first time in days since mom died I didn't feel miserable. I feel into the show because there were 6 episodes available, it allowed me to escape the grief for a few hours. I will always hold a very dear place in my heart for the YOI theme song, it's always a sweet happy feeling when I hear it, everything in my life just lifts.
i genuinely love how he’s flip flopping between loving the characters and then just straight up roasting them 😂😂😂 update: i now genuinely have tears running down my face from his reaction to Chris
Him: "I'm not a slice of life guy" Also him: "I just wish this show had more Yuri Off Ice, you know?" (basically expresses the wish to see MORE SLICE OF LIFE) ...right. 👀
47:14 The stuffed animals are to show appreciation for the skater. They used to use roses, but they’d break into pieces on the ice and cause problems for the other skaters. It’s so fun getting a gift from your friends and fam after performing
27:26 If you think about dance vs. gymnastics and how the extreme physical activity stunts your growth, what Yuri is saying makes sense. He hasn't had a major growth spurt yet and because of the levels of activity he's maintaining, and probably won't have one for another year. It's gonna fuck up his center of gravity and he won't be nearly as flexible so jumps will be dangerous until his growth spurt stops.
There is also the fact that in general, boys's bodies are developing UNTIL 21 years of age, unlike girls's bodies which take up to 17ish years. Of course everything depends on an individual. Some people develop rather quickly but for others it takes time.
@Rachael Thanks for explaining, I was curious about the whole body changing thing and how it relates to figure skating. Was your explanation also the reason why Yakov was angry at Yurio when he wanted to do the advanced jump when he was younger?
@@StonyADYeah, putting that kind of strain on the body can cause damage that you don’t notice until your body stops developing. I actually experienced this doing martial arts growing up - I started more advanced spinning jump kicks right around the time I hit puberty and didn’t realize that every time I messed up a landing I was putting strain on my knees. I’m really paying for it now that I’m in my 20s
@@StonyAD the body changes being a factor in performance ability is also a reason behind why so many actual high performance figure skaters out of Russia have in recent years made such high marks in competition while being right around age 15 before their bodies develop more, but then they have extremely short lived careers and end up injured and retired by the time they're 17-18. Most of these girls have all been under the same coach and sadly I am blanking on her name but this is a real thing.
You know, I've never watched the dub, but watching this reaction I can see that the dub is like, an entirely different viewing experience. Voices and adjective choices are so important to the tone of a show and characterisation. It's so different.
@@SierraHurtt 100%. I was gonna rewatch with the dub, but after seeing these videos I stuck with the subs. The characters feel a lot more grounded in reality. There are so many scenes that are fundamentally changed by the dub.
DANNY 😭😭😭😭😭 THE MOVIE WAS CANCELLED. MAPPA FREAKING CANCELLED IT. USE YOUR POWERS DANNY AND CALL THE FANDOM, WE SHALL AID YOU IN THIS JOURNEY, A PETITION TO BRING BACK YURI ON ICE 😭😭😭😭✨✨✨✨
Okie adult figure skater and Yuri on ice fan here with some info: At 5:47 when you thought Viktor did the same jumps, they are actually different! The difference between a Lutz and a Flip is the edge it takes off of. Yes, they both use the toe pick of the right foot to push into the air (the foot that stretches back), but on a Lutz, the other foot takes off of an outside edge vs. the Flip where the takeoff is an inside edge. Very subtle difference. Also, both the lutz and flip toe off the same foot that lands. Then the toe loop after, looks similar, but is different in that it toes off one foot and lands on the other. At 30:02, the spread eagle is the part right before he takes off into the axel where his feet are pointed in opposite directions. Like second position in ballet if you know. It's not super easy to tell because of the angle they use in animation, but spread eagles are wide stances, about double shoulder width (to address what was said at 38:28) 33:06 There is a bit of "dance" in figure skating. Of course, less than in ice dancing, but there is dancing! Other than jumps and spins, skaters are required to include footwork sequences and choreography sections in their programs. Depending on the skater, they may choose to make those sections more artistic and dance-like. 38:00 Yes! Skaters will typically do the same two programs (1 short program and 1 free skate) for an entire season. They may change small things throughout like was mentioned in the show (ie. doing a triple instead of a quad), but it's the same program each competition. 47:15 So the stuffed animals. After a skater is done, people throw stuff on the ice (stuffed animals, flowers, etc). Then people, kids typically, skate out and collect all the stuff thrown on the ice before the next skater. Some skaters will pick one or two up if they're close enough when they are thrown and so they'll be holding them at the kiss and cry (the place where they wait for their scores). 49:59 So falling isn't the worst thing that can happen in a program. Each jump has a base value of points (for instance, the quad flip he was trying for is 11 points) and points can be added or subtracted based on execution. A fall is only a 1 point deduction. If at the point of impact with the ice (the landing, not the fall), he has made a full four rotations in the air, he may only lose that 1 point. 1:01:40 So this is wild of him ngl. For context, the free skate, done on the second day of competition, is longer than the short program by almost double. The free skate is 4 minutes 30 seconds max so there is of course the issue of stamina. Skating so hard for so long, you're bound to get tired, so jumps done in the second half are awarded more points than those done in the first half. Pushing most of your jumps to the second half will increase your score, but it's difficult.
Great analysis! I want to add one thing though - Yuri on ice is taking place in season 2016/2017, so everything is based on "old judging system", before big changes in 2018, so if someone want to know more about it, should know about differences between judging system then and now :)
I loved reading this thank you!! ^_^ I can see it more clearly now as I'm watching Yuri on ice for the 5th time 😆 i love YOI so much. Also I incredibly respect all ice skaters
@@softie_vinyl haha yup! McAlester born and bred iirc He also voices Russia from Hetalia and the guy with a creepy relationship with his sister (who’s name escapes me atm) from black butler
The reason why there hasn't been any major followups to Yuri on Ice is probably because MAPPA (the production company) is busy with their other projects like Chainsaw Man, the new Attack on Titan season, One Punch Man 3, Jujutsu Kaisen, Vinland Saga, and a bunch of other shows. And, Yuri on Ice being an anime original means that it requires a lot more work and commitment than adapting already existing manga series.
I love that people yelled at him to watch the full end of 10 (and his takeaway was 'holy shit Yuri humped Viktor") and Welcome to the Madness, but no one apparently informed him there was a cute little after credit scene on the finale of our boys being happy together. I appreciate the chaotic priorities.
I honestly couldn't watch YOI a second time, it was such an experience to watch it while it was coming out in 2016 that I couldn't recreate binge-watching the whole thing by myself. I really think the online fan interaction was what really made YOI such a huge hit. I remember when we had to wait a whole week between each episode and during that time there were so many theories, analyses, and memes that came out during that time. There were celebrities watching the show, and professional skaters doing the routines, it was all such an experience. I remember posts with theories about each new episode and when we got the "kiss" in episode 5 everyone was saying that the writers can't really be giving us everything that we want, if so they would be married in the next episode. And what do you know? They freaking exchanged rings in the 6th episode!
I watched it not long after it finished, was a Tumblr user at the time. There were A LOT of YOI posts so I finally watched it. I wish I would have watched it as it released weekly, I can only imagine how chaotic the kiss scene and ring exchange scenes were. But I was still seeing a lot of fan interaction, reactions, analysis, etc. and even moreso when it won Crunchyroll's anime of the year. Good times lol.
Weren’t there pole dancers reacting to the drunken dance off confirming the legitimacy of the moves too? Like, confirming that Yuuri had definitely done this before and knew what he was doing?
I was a competitive gymnast since I was 9 My coaches always talked about how when I got older, my body was gonna change and I’d need to sort of relearn how to do my skills and stuff The “body changing” with age is a real thing because I had no idea how to deal with my longer limbs and different center of gravity
Oh my god, nailing the analysis of Victor as someone who has everything but is deeply unsatisfied after watching two episodes made me very excited to watch the rest of this
I LOVE seeing Danny reacting to Yuri on Ice. I'm stuck in the figure skater echo chamber, and seeing him not know what a spread eagle is, or freaking out at a split jump, it's so fun!! Its also like... this is pretty well agreed to be a queer rep milestone, and he is so RIGHT that there were so many fakeouts and censored smooches and its so SAD. Ugh. Good reaction series.
I hoenstly didn't mind the kisses being censcored (for the most part) because apparently they kinda had to do it for Yuri on ice to be classified as a sports anime??? Idk how true that is, but I think they made it very clear that Viktor and Yuuri are literally engaged, and if anyone denies that then...well they must be like REALLY oblivious or just trolls. But I would have liked at least ONE kiss, they deserved it.
It had to be censored at the time unfortunately, but anybody who denies that they kissed on that ice is a fool. Besides their wikis state that they are a couple and engaged/married by the end of the series.
@Funworks 163 I read an interview with the creator who said that she found it obvious they were kissing, and from what she'd heard from Japanese fans they all found it obvious they were kissing. She and the rest of the creative team were actually surprised by the accusations of censorship from Western fans.
This IP deserved so much better. It had a fantastic fandom, im 100% sure if more seasons or the movie was to be completely crowd funded it would exceed its goal within 48 hours. The wiritng, the characters, the music, the choreography, the romance for the sake of mutual love, is so top notch. There was pure LOVE (agape or eros) put into this series and the studio just dropped the ball so hard that it borderlines criminal. So many popular anime rely on battles and fan service but this? This is a masterclass on how to deliver a story be it by itself or a whole series
You want a gay anime with resolve in their relationship? SASAKI TO MIYANO IS THE WAY TO GO. Set in a highschool setting, a boy who reads BL(Miyano) tries to defend someone who’s in a fight. Another boy (Sasaki) stops him before he can get hurt and deals with it himself. They start seeing eachother more around school and Miyano starts lending Sasaki his BL because Sasaki wanted him to. 10/10 anime and I HIGHLY recommend it. Now to post this in other places for you to actually see it.
The stuffed animals, even the dog tissue box, are all gifts thrown onto the ice by fans after the ice skater finishes their program. Usually famous skaters have a theme for gifts that the fans like to give.The gifts are all gathered up and you can see them in a few scenes on the bench next to the skaters and coaches when the scores are being read off. Ice skaters may choose their favorite plushy or flowers that the fans gave to them to hug while the scores are being announced. The fans all know about Victor's dog so they give him stuff that is themed after his dog. Yuri is a big fan of Victor, and that is why he had a dog just like Victor's. Most of the skaters like or admire Yuri. You can tell by the way they talk about him, or act when they know that he is there. I know that he was also training with some of them too, and they would often see each other during competitions. They often talk online and show up in pictures together. The fact that there are a few skaters that look up to Yuri, and the fact that he was able to be apart of so many skating competitions, shows that he is not as bad of a skater as they make him out to be in the beginning. There are some skaters that can skate like the cut scene, but that kind of skating is not really for competitions.
🔝Hello👋 congrats You've been selected among my this week on going giveaway winner's get in touch with me on telegram above name to claims your package 🎁
Yuri is the top figure skater of Japan. He has qualified for the Grand Prix Final, which is only open to the elite skaters in the world. So he is far from being a bad skater, he is one of the best in the world.
I think I amost died laughing when you said, "Don't you dare say pork cutlet bowls!" And then the look on your face when Yuri did say it, not 2 seconds later, was priceless. Oh God, I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while.🤣 Thank you.
In all honesty, Yurio is the perfect combination of Bakugo and Chuuya, he has Bakugo's determination and Chuuya's attitude. And my final conclusion is: Yurio's fucking cool.
This show is so damn weird but it is literally revolutionary - simple, happy gay love is already hard to see especially in 2016, but especially considering it's from Japan [they censored the kiss, booo, and vague marriage]; it was a surprise to everyone of it's success. I love seeing the couple have wholesome moments but the rest of the series is so insane lol, I have a lot of gripes, but I'm someone who can't stand the majority of anime because of it's tropes n such so it's extremely notable for me. Anyway, it goes down in history.
I’d say they did Canada dirty by choosing Jean-Jacque to represent us but then I remember he’s meant to be Québécois Canadian and they often ARE arrogant pricks when interacting with non French people so… points for doing their homework I guess!
lmfao im quebecois and id like to think i adapt myself to non french people more than they adapt to me and jean jacques is just a bitch even in quebecois standards
As a Quebec native myself, I kinda wanna be offended, buuut... yeah, no we’re pretty rude. I mean, I’m not a rude or arrogant person myself, but that’s mostly just the result of my various mental health problems. As a nation, we do have the cultural identity of an egocentric douche canoe. There is some deep rooted generational trauma behind that attitude regarding the English speaking majority, but still. The shit I get from my relatives just because I occasionally struggle to find the right words in French because I got my college education in English is ridiculous.
One of my favorite things is learning that they carefully animated each jump and skating technique based off actual skaters, even using Johhny Weir's ice slide in the bonus short. When you start watching you don't notice it, you think it all looks the same, but then you get into the show and staying really paying attention to these marvelous realistic details to really showcase the sport and each skater's individual style and strengths.
The bit about Yuuri living in his own fan fiction, 7:15, set me off! I'm new to this channel, but I'm loving it so far. Danny captured YOI so well. Very funny person and I'm excited to watch more reactions!
Watching this after the movie cancelation notice is bittersweet, but the nostalgia of watching YoI all over again with someone who's never seen it makes everything feel better
I forgot where but I read somewhere that Welcome to the Madness wasn't supposed to be Yuri Plisetsky's exhibition piece 😅 He was supposed to do something more traditional/classical like everyone else but after that running away/bonding/best friend confirmation shtick with Otabek he was like "Eff this I'm doing my exhibition my way" and the two of them choreographed it last minute. I even remember seeing art of them buying the outfit at a store, but at this point 7 years later I might be confusing canon with fanfic and fanart.
it's canon, he wanted to be cooler than viktor & yuri's performance and be the 'hotter couple' so asked otabek to come on stage with him and outdo them (fair to say i think they did xD)
One of the things that I find so interesting and compelling about the first couple episodes are the differences between the when yuuri knows people are watching, versus the way that he looks when he thinks he’s alone/ or with someone totally trustworthy. As someone who has struggled with weight issues, it’s like those issues have been perfectly characterized. You always feel at your highest weight to your self or imagine that everyone else does. He is characterized as extremely overweight in the train station and coming home, verse when he steps onto the ice with only Yuko watching him. Just an interpretation but that’s how I see the first couple of scenes in the first couple episodes.
my parents actually make me watch this on top of me having seen it 9 times already (it doesn't get old) bc it's my special interest and my therapist told them it would calm me down during a freak-out (it totally does)
I swear every time Danny starts his outro I get disappointed, only to remember this is the full series complication and the video continues with the next intro😌 I love that you put all these together!
As a person who live in Russia i have to say that figure skating is a really big deal here. Our Figure skaters becoming to a country famous stars and you currently unable to get tickets to the show because the rinks are full. I personally have my Ice skating ideals. Evgenya Medvedeva for example. So we even have jokes that "To become The best ice skater in World is much easier that become the best ice skater in Russia"
41:19 I've replayed this scene so many times and when Chris grabs himself the expression on Danny's face cracks me up. Then Chris says the line and Danny's like "you better not! He better not!" 😂😂😂
Comparing Sk8 and Given to Yuri on Ice is so funny to me because Yuri on Ice walked (or skated) so these shows could run 😭 This was my first anime and my comfort show and it makes me so happy that to this day it’s still appreciated 🫶🏻
Viktor sounds so un-sexy in the Dub!! Having the voice actors approach him so differently makes such a BIG difference to the character and the impression he leaves. Viktor in the original is infinitely more smexy!!
@@DannyMotta hmmm I'm curious what you would think of ouran highschool host club and all of us are dead! both i feel are very entertaining in their own ways!
@@ashlicooper1906 Ouran is so full of perfect stuff for the most hilarious commentary. If this is what Yuri on Ice gets as a reaction this guy should for sure react to Ouran. It'll be a blast.
Bruh, I'm trying to discreetly watch this at work and your random shout of "MEDIC!!" when Yuri smashes his face into the wall finally broke me. Tea spewed all over my desk. XDDD I'm cryingggg
32:52 It’s not TYPICAL, but there are times, basically certain shows and competitions where figure skaters are allowed to go all out with the dance routines. During the 90’s, there was a skater by the name of Scott Hamilton who was known for his dance routines and back flips. At one point, people were saying he had the fastest feet on ice (comparing him to Michael Flatley of Riverdance.). There also another figure skater by the name of Elvis Stojko, who did a LOT of rock and roll themed performances. Yes, he did Elvis Presley themed performances as well. ^^ The 90’s seemed to be a time where figure skaters were just letting loose and having a TON of fun. Did it tick the elitists off? You bet it did. But the skaters did nooooot give a damn. They were having FUN! 😂❤
yes exactly and the technical focus (aka just putting in endless jumps to get more points) rather than the actual artistry of combining the step sequences/dance moves with the jumps and spins is why many people kinda dislike the Olympics and stuff too. Because sure, you can do 20 jumps and get the highest score but to have a beautiful routine that incorporates those jumpes and works as a whole thing is a lot harder to do! That might also be the difference in your viewing experience from the Olympics vs. Minami (Beyblade boi) because Minami competed 'only' on national level.
Oh man this explains why I adored watching figure skating in the Olympics when I was a kid in the 90s, and haven't bothered watching it in years. I loved when it was more artistic and more of a dance.
Despite having seen Yuri on Ice several times, this is the first time I've watched a full reaction video to it, and it's very funny. ...And now I wanna watch the show again. I hadn't actually seen Yurio's exhibition skate until now! Only read it! So awesome!
🔝Hello👋 congrats You've been selected among my this week on going giveaway winner's get in touch with me on telegram above name to claims your package 🎁
When this anime was released I was surprised how they got these small details like Russians using WhatsApp and Japanese using Line. When Yurio reads texts he reads in English because he doesn’t understand Japanese. The Russian texts being decent or Viktors home is actually looking like an apartment in St. Petersburg. I still hope they will release spinoff series (I know they cancelled Viktors prequel but there is still hope).
the dub feels a bit different to listen to since i watched the sub, but yuri on ice is such a comedic yet emotional show despite it being literally about ice skating. i adore it so much-it’s so passionate and satisfying to watch.
11:08 “These are the tightest pair of glutes I’ve ever seen in animation” The fact that most male figure skaters’ behinds literally look like those irl🥴🥴
The rage I have from not having a season two for Yuri on ice is the same rage I have for Ouran high school host club not having a season two. Pisses me off so bad wanna punch a hole in the wall
