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.
Yuri!!! On Ice

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.

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! 😭
