Yuri!!! on Ice: Yuri Plisetsky GPF in Barcelona EX - Welcome to The Madness

Generally specials and OVAs rarely get better ratings than the parent story. But in this case, the exhibition routine performed by Yuri Plisetsky is so hot I had to rate it higher than the series. The art is just outstanding, the music fits perfectly with the choreography and the dance is fierce, sensual AND erotic as the stakes just kept getting higher. It starts out as a challenge, then the gloves come off (literally) with the second glove being bitten off by his rival. Around now I started to fan my face as it was getting hot in here. Then the slide and a lot ... of sexiness follows ... wow. If this skate routine could be done with that costume in real life, the skating fan community would have people getting pregnant after watching that performance. I enjoyed this thoroughly!

Since this is so short of a video, I don't think I really need to do a full, you know, proper review with all of those categories. I'll just get to the point.
WARNING: I get really fangirl-y.

Oh. My. GOD.
Rarely ever, perhaps even never, does a 2 minute video give me such genuine excitement. The surge of emotions I felt from start to finish while watching this was absolutely INCREDIBLE.
As don't own a copy of the DVD, I had to watch it on YouTube. While the picture quality was less than ideal, the gorgeous animation still shone through.

Yuri's outfit? Bold. Amazing. Sexy. His skating? Bold. Amazing. ... Sexy. His interaction with Otabek? VERY SEXY.
All this manservice was 120% appreciated. I about lost it when Yuri's shirt slid up.
Oh, and the glove thing. OMG the glove thing.

Anyways, if you like YUI or even if you have never seen anything from the entire franchise, you should watch this. RIGHT NOW.
It's only a couple of minutes, after all. What do you have to lose?

Also, this is totally a copy of my blog post.

The "Special" type of anime rarely gets higher ratings. Once in a blue moon there's a special that is actually good (like Mushishi or Gintama ones for example), but most of the time a special is ranked highly because the fanbase of its parent anime just blindly floods it with bloated ratings. Would you like to take a guess which one of the two cases is this Yuri on Ice special?

The main focus of this very short special is eyecandy and fanservice. Sure, the animation isn't bad, the choreography is okay and the song is fine, but it's obvious what the main focus here is. ... With the skimpy outfit, nipslips and even yet again shounen-ai undertone, it's really no wonder this is rated so high - fujoshi are incapable of resisting such sweet bait.

And that's it, that's the whole anime, two and a half minutes of a choreographed fanservice. If you enjoyed the fanservice of the main series, I'm sure you will drool over this one too, but if you want anything of substance, this isn't exactly a place to look for it.
