What about Yuri on Ice kept you watching it? I've been looking for a new anime to watch and it looks good!

I'mma try to keep this relatively short shdhdfjdkdk

So... When Yuri on Ice premiered, I was watching episodes as they dropped in Sub on sketchy streaming sites. I was 15? I'm pretty sure. So... Young. And, as any young 15 year old girl in fandom... I started watching because of the cute guys and the shipping.

Of course, that isn't why I stayed. What made me stay, was the way this story was presented. I wasn't even into figure skating at the time, and yet, I was enthralled with the almost insider-look at the sport. What resonated with me was how we were introduced to Yūri. He was depressed, kind of in this limbo state. It resonated with me, having just transplanted into a new school for the first time and having left everyone I knew behind. Lost and depressed.

So, watching his development as a character was a HUGE factor in me sticking with the anime. Also... Watching a MLM relationship portrayed as so natural for the first time out of any other animes I had seen at that point in time. It wasn't overly sexualized, it was just... Nice. I don't know how else to describe that. I absolutely adored watching Viktor and Yūri's grow throughout.

Yurio my beloved. I love that boy. He's a brat and he's conflicted in parts and it just makes so much sense for him. Given what we know of his early childhood... God. Yeah that hits home for me and it's no wonder I clung to him like a whole lifeline. Honestly, even if you stripped everything else away that I love about the show... I would still watch religiously for him.

The music is phenomenal. Yuri on Ice (the song) easily moves me to tears still. I get SO emotional over some of the pieces.

I won't get into how it all hits as a now-skater, that's a whole different post in and of itself. And... The fandom was also a whole thing when the anime dropped. That made a huge difference for me, especially being in the cosplay scene. The fandom is still FAR from dead, don't get me wrong, but it was a lot more lively back in the day lol.

I could talk for hours about this show- it's not everyone's cup of tea, being a sports anime, but I highly encourage giving it a solid try!

finding out my best friend is moving away for the next four years relatively soon was not on my 2024 bingo card

[yuriio]

at the beginning of every year the fandom is all "oh this is it! this is the year, everybody! surely we get ice ado this year!" and then the months begin to dwindle and around august-september we lose hope and the cycle repeats. every year we go through this and it is so sexy of us

reverting back to my 2015 taste in fandom and absolutely hyperfixating on ONS and whatever else my greedy little hands can find

[yuriio]

i remember when i used to be able to sit and bust out a full commission in 24-48 hrs and now it takes me that long to find the energy to start bc i’m constantly working. hate it

[yuriio]

anyone else ever experience your brain trying to fixate on two separate things at once and just. shut down bc there isn't enough room for both and its kinda like "if we cant have BOTH we get none!" so you just. go through the motions every day kinda dying inside without an emotional support fixation

[yuriio]

i forgot i had a show today and. pink hair on top of a green dress is not it

i look like a watermelon. guess ill die
