It's because those guys are idiots who didn't even look at the cover art and thought that the only Yuri is female on female action. Sad thing, if there characters were lesbo, I bet it would be rated HIGHER goddamn double-standards.

Seriously, if you crave the kind of Yuri you're thinking of, maybe look at the cover art and the synopsis.

I've always wanted a figure skating anime with an all-female cast. That's why I got salty when I saw Yuri on ice. My dreams got crushed.

Thank god it's not all female. I'm tired of these waifus and re:zero gave enough of them for the year. And if it were all female cast, there'd possibly be that one typical high pitched girl which would have probably made me drop the whole show. Phew.. to think about it, we dodged a bullet. No moe crap for me man.

I wonder who actually believed the series would have yuri in it considering the cover practically screamed it will have a clearly all-male cast.

When I first heard of it.. I thought it has something to do with Yuri genre.

Good thing I checked the package first before opening it. I don't want another yaoi-bait show crawling in my sleeves again.

I think the same. Moeblobs give me so much cancer.

And yeah, if this was actually girl on girl action, it'd have shit tons of fans, even more than it already has ( and, let's face it, it's quite popular ). People mostly give it low scores not because they find holes in it and because the characters are bad ( and they're perfectly valid reasons to lower the score, this anime isn't perfect ), they give it bad scores because it's an all-male anime that, even worse, has a canon gay couple.

I'd love to see a sports anime with an all-female cast that doesn't have annoying characters, though.

You're probably right. A number of people just got triggered by the fact the title was misleading and refused to watch it.

Even if some people expected Yuri!!! on Ice to be yuri not yaoi because of the Yuuri Katsuki's name which has misled most people on seeing Yuuri as yuri (genre). But still, both yuri and yaoi are basically the same thing. Somewhat like a pure love but in general, a forbidden one. And, you also don't have to feel that salty or triggered because it's not yuri and (I don't really sure if) it's OBVIOUSLY a yaoi. Well, since we'll be getting some yuri anime adaptations next year, so just have hope on it guys...

I personally think it would, because there is not a lot of Yuri anime, and there is quite a bit of Yaoi already.

Not to mention that ice skating is actually much prettier when it is performed by women, so I would want there to be a show with an all female cast. Either that or in pairs.

Yup, there are 'some' scenes that are "Fujoshi-service" but that's it. If it were an all female cast or something like that, at least 30 to 40 percent of the show would have been fan service.

To an extent, I was being humorously hyperbolic. Still, how dumb can people be, just assuming and jumping to conclusions at the drop of a hat. He's wondering why people have this mentality in the first place as well as wondering if it would be more popular if there was an all female cast.

Even still, of t would be more popular if women were there (since it seems to be a sport more popular among women), that doesn't mean that people should just jump the gun, because that's how they get shot. Well, in this case, their expectations get shot.

^This

Although I wouldn't have minded if it had been a female-oriented yuri show (because as it is now the majority of, if not even all, homoerotic all female cast anime are male-oriented and as a bisexual woman I find that pretty disappointing. No more Sakura Trick:s pls)

I personally don't find two gay characters to be fujoshi-pandering, I think this show stopped seeming fanservice-y when their relationship got a little more 'serious', but that's off the subject. And I think so, too, if the cast was all-female there'd be a lot of fanservice. Because how can girls be more than fanservice? For fuck's sake.

there not exist sports anime with female cast because that would result in moe and tons of fanservice/ecchi, you actually would forget the sports plot. Maybe Yuri on Ice would be more popular with female cast but it would be pretty shitty In my opinion.

The turtle or the thread is the question: if an all female cast would make this more popular. The post is the reason he decided to ask the question in the first place.

Why 'one demographic'? I'm assuming that you are referring to fujoshis, and that is something that I have to disagree with. I've seen plenty of males watch this series, and other such mostly/all-male cast sports anime. It's the same as saying that an 'all-female' series is aimed to the 'one demographic' of yuri-loving males.
If you look beyond your need for jiggling breasts in every series, then you may come to realise that this anime has a lot of plot and character development - it goes beyond what y'all people try to call 'fujobait' (the author themselves confirmed (thought subtly) that it is, in fact, a relationship).

Hell, if this were in fact an all-female series instead, all y'all would get would be cheap fan-service and lots of ''moe'' or ''ecchi'' rather than actual plot - and you know it.

Once we seize space, we'll all...

Don't get salty at what I'm about to say, but I absolutely agree that it should be a female cast anime. As if figure-skating wasn't gay enough as is, the show only furthers it since it's pretty much a fujoshi's wet dream. Not saying it would be any different have it been a female cast instead. I just think it'd make more sense it being all female instead of male.
