Yuri!!! On Ice
Oshimeter
Synopsis
At 23 years old, Yuri Katsuki has just bombed at the Grand Prix Final and is seriously considering quitting figure skating. He heads home to his family's hot spring inn in rural Japan, stress-eats pork cutlets, and generally wallows. Then a video of him drunkenly nailing his idol's skating routine goes viral, and said idol, five-time world champion Victor Nikiforov, shows up at his doorstep, naked in the hot spring, announcing he's going to be Yuri's coach. That's the setup, and from there it becomes one of the most emotionally grounded sports anime out there. The skating sequences are gorgeous, MAPPA went all-in on the choreography, and you can feel the weight and momentum in every jump and spin. But the real draw is watching Yuri wrestle with anxiety and self-doubt in a way that feels uncomfortably real, while his relationship with Victor evolves from fan-and-idol into something genuinely tender. The show doesn't shy away from that either, which was a big deal in 2016 and still holds up. The soundtrack is fantastic, with 'History Maker' lodging itself permanently in your brain. It's only 12 episodes, so the pacing stays tight. If you liked the competitive energy and character dynamics in SK8 the Infinity or the emotional beats in Free!, this is right in that lane. just on ice, with better music, and a love story that actually commits.

Yuri on Ice es de esos animes que te marcan. No sé cuántas veces lo he visto, pero cada vez me hace sentir lo mismo: es lo que mantiene vivo mi gusto por el patinaje artístico, desde lo técnico de las competiciones hasta el arte de las coreografías. La animación al patinar es una locura. El uso de la rotoscopia hace que la animación sea tan fluida y limpia que te hipnotiza. Y la química entre Yuri y Victor es tan evidente que te hace sentir mariposas. Esos dos andan en su propio mundo y me encanta. No me pueden decir que ahí no hay amor. Yuri es un personaje que te rompe y te reconstruye. Al principio vive en gay panic constante, pero poco a poco va tomando confianza con Victor, y cuando patina con seguridad es impecable. Verlo derrochar AURA me da una satisfacción enorme. Y Yurio... ese niño es fascinante. Siempre se supera, es tan increíble que a veces olvido que tiene 15 años. Los momentos de tensión, las discusiones que parecen confesiones, los diálogos tan evidentes de Victor... todo se siente tan real. Y el final, con ese programa que es una carta de amor de Yuri para Victor y de la serie para el patinaje... chef kiss . Yo creo en el amor puro y sincero gracias a ellos (mis papás). ¿Ver? Sí, pero prepárate para querer volver a verlo de por vida.
AAAA SO GOOD
To be honest, I'm not really a fan of figure skating, but I was so nervous watching to see if Yuri would land all his jumps; I felt like I was right there in the audience. It’s so adorable to see how much Victor cares about Yuri! 😭
I love how Yuri is getting to know himself better and gaining confidence in his close ones. He’s realizing that he’s not alone and that everyone supports him. It’s so interesting to see him focus more on the present instead of what he has lost!
Even though Yuri is the protagonist, I absolutely loved Yurio's character development and how he found his agape through his love for his grandfather. His choreography was spectacular, without a doubt! I'm looking forward to seeing how his character continues to grow.
I like the direction the character development is taking. I love the fact that they included 'Russian Yurio vs. Yuri' because I think it will make the plot move forward in a more interesting way. I feel like Victor brings out the best in Yuri, even though it's just the beginning.
I thought the episode was good, but it felt a bit rushed. They portrayed Victor as someone completely out of reach, only for him to decide to become Yuri's coach by the end of the episode. Everything else was great, though.
Capítulo final. Arranca con palabras duras (¿cómo le dices eso a Victor, Yuri?). Discusiones de pareja 😭, pero luego ves el círculo de apoyo de JJ y los sueños de cada finalista. Voy a llorar con estos dos, se aman demasiado. El programa libre de 'Yuri on Ice' es una carta de amor: de Yuri para Victor y de la serie para el patinaje. Animación impecable. Yurio es el mejor personaje de la serie. Ese final tiene tanto peso simbólico, *chef kiss*. Yo creo en el amor puro gracias a ellos, quisiera que me adoptaran. Volvería a ver este anime de por vida.
El opening tiene detalles especiales, aprécialo. Se siente como ver una competencia real en vivo. Yurio es increíble (a veces olvido que solo tiene 15). Victor tenso descoloca a Yuri. JJ sucumbe a la presión. ¿Ver? SÍ, agárrate.
Cap de descanso narrado por Victor. Otabek my best boy. La relación Victor-Yuri llega a su clímax emocional. '¡Que vivan los novios!' Phichit me representa. Vale la pena quedarse hasta el ending *guiño*. ¿Ver? OBLIGADO.
Yuri VS Yuri 2.0. Capítulo estresante y desafiante para Yuri, sale de su zona de confort. Devastaron a Michele jajdja. Yurio es fascinante. Victor siempre va a estar presente de una forma u otra. Estos dos me van a hacer llorar. ¿Ver? Sí, pero prepárate.
Yurio patina increíble, es el real agape. La hermandad Michele-Sala es... curiosa. Pobre Makkachin 😢... Se envían buena energía como si fueran casados. JJ estresa pero su canción pega. ¿Ver? Sí.
This is my third time rewatching this anime and I still cry lol. That final dance together is so beautiful, perfect way to end the episode. Everyone really gave it their all <3
My heart hurt for JJ this episode 😭 but seeing his fiancée and the crowd being so supportive of him made me tear up.
Love how Otabek and Yurio’s friendship is getting closer this episode! Phichit announcing that they got married had me LOL, imagine me clapping in the crowd too :]
It’s so heartwarming that Yurio remembers Yuri’s upcoming birthday and even gives him his favorite pirozhki <3 I love that scene
Seung-gil’s performance really pulls you in, and Viktor and Yuri cheering for Yurio felt like parents lol. JJ’s theme is also one of my favourite songs!
I was NOT ready for that ending lol. Also the whole calming down after an “argument” or big wave of emotion… I felt that too.
We’re finally getting into the competition and the pressure feels way more intense now!! "Shall we Skate?" is one of my favourite songs from the series I had to clap along lol. That and "Still Alive".
This episode had me so nervous for Yuri 😭 It’s really nice seeing his growth, and his performance felt more confident this time. Viktor being supportive but also kinda strict makes it more interesting, and I love Minami’s song choice for his program!
