hi im weeb trash

1. The story is really good.  You’re seeing a character (Yuri) who is really struggling with self worth, confidence and skill in the first episode and to overcome this and attempt a comeback within one season of Figure Skating competition. It is compelling. Both my 63 year old father and 7 year old kid are sold on this story just as much as my 32 year old self.

2. The characters are really good All the characters have depth. Yuri especially has great character development but Victor does as well and so does Yuri’s main Rival (also named Yuri) who I thought I would hate but I love him. Even though I want Main character Yuri to win in the end I still really like other Yuri as well. That is I think a great accomplishment.

3. The animation is really good Now it’s not perfect and there are certainly times when I think it could be a bit better but on the whole I think the quality is high. Even down to the reflection in the ice when they skate.  It feels like a lot of time was put into it.

4. The music is really good Seriously the music adds so much to the show. 

5. It’s gay as hell By this I mean it’s not like Yaoi. The relationship between the two main characters isn’t exploitative or for purely for titillation. It’s a real romance.  The moments that have the fanbase screaming about how beautifully gay it is are grounded in genuine moments of character development and story building. These are human, romantic moments between the characters. Yes there is fanservice naked butt shots but it’s not all the time. 

There isn’t really any jokes about it either (other then the fact that even the background characters are clearly going “These guys are in a relationship”) 

Yuri on Ice is un-apologetically and openly gay. It is one of the gayest things I have ever seen and so far it doesn’t seem like anyone is going to die and it’s so awesomely open about it.
