| "there is nothing gay about Yuri on Ice" Why do some of these fans not understand that guys don't want to watch a fujo pandering anime with guys ice skating. |
| Yuri on Ice would be more popular if it wasn't as disgusting sometimes. |
 |
| Not really, and all female cast would also be dismissed as waifu bait or pandering or something of that sort by a group of people . But I admit I would have probably watched it if it were all female cast lol |
 |
| I'm sorry but this thread is annoying, it's just turned into a bash yuri and all girl anime thread. I tend to think that this would be less popular if it was a yuri since according to this thread, yuri is nothing but ecchi. |
| It depends Your favorite Keijo!!!!!!!!! only sells a few hundred I have not watched it But if it has Plushenko in it I will jump to it. Male skate features speed and spin much more strongly. It's like a different dimension. |

| I will never watch it because it's all-guy. I would've also rejected it had it been all-girl because it would've been too unoriginal. Even with male and females characters... it would have been less successful because Fujoshi and Ecchi lovers would be bored. And ice skating by itself is too small of a pull to get people to watch it. |
| Female audience have stronger purchasing power, generally |
| It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on. |
| Depends in what way you're defining popularity. If you ask me, no. Girls love to fetishize gay men too much. |
「 The show wasn't bad, it was camp ♥ 」 |
| I would have been fine if there was a mix of male and females. |

Zankyou-no-Izaya said: 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. This is pretty much what I want to say to everyone out there hating on Yuri on Ice for being 'fujobait'. |

| Pretty sure it would be less popular. For how loud and vocal a lot of the people who hate on it because it has male characters that interact with each other are, they are still a minority overall, they just try to hide that fact by being very vocal and obnoxious about it. Most people, including males do not have their issues no matter how much they insist on spamming that only fujoshis can watch and enjoy shows with more than one male character. Yuri on Ice and how popular it is with both genders proves that more than anything. Anyone thinking it's popularity is 100% based on female watchers is a sad, delusional fuck who needs to talk to normal people for once to realize that he is wrong. Without male viewers the show would be significantly less popular. Lots of males and females enjoy the show as it is and many of them would not have been interested if it was just looking like another moeblob fanservice show without much substance. Those people probably wouldn't go out of their way to insult the show like the 'I-hate-male-characters' crowd but they just wouldn't be interested in it. It would have attracted some other people but overall the popularity would have declined and instead of being #2 in popularity it might not even be in the top 10. |

| It most certainly would be tbh, considering that majority of anime veiwers are male. |

| Probably not. There is a market for female oriented fan service as well, and every once in a while a show with pretty boys need to come along. Besides, this can be perfectly enjoyed by men. Unless you're some faggot that isn't comfortable with your own masculinity or sexuality. Real men can enjoy the beauty and grace of the male body as well. But having a cute female character would help balance things out and make things more popular for guys for sure. A cute fucking loli. |
| @ModeratelyHuman Every YOI fan knows Yurio is the loli |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| Not true, in the slightest. It's popular right now DUE to the male cast, and the forced yaoi. Yuri on ice was meant to target the crazy horny tumblr fangirls, which is doing right now. So it's popular because of the large female fanbase. I don't see that happening with a female cast. |
| No, as you can see females are more sexually deprived than males in the anime community, as evident with the amount of Yaoi there is in the anime and manga community. Yuri will never be as popular as Yaoi. |
 |
| I definitely would've actually watched it in that case... To be perfectly honest, I simply can't take male figure skating in anime seriously, it's CLEARLY fujoshi bait. It ruins it for me. An all-female cast doing figure skating would have been much more legitimate as a sports anime, no question about it. |
 |
| Not really, what made this famous was the male-male part. I assure you that if they had been women they would have seen more flaws in the show. |
| *checks op profile* ...uh, yeah this is another 'bait' thread, good job op. |
| Well, I would have watched if it was an all-female cast. That's being said, I get why people feel "tricked" by its title ,but what they don't realize is that Yuri is actually also a common name for Russian males, so its not meant to refer to that kind of yuri that is girl x girl nor is it trying to trick anyone or bait anyone (well other than maybe yaoi fans). |
Exclusively female yuri community with polls, games, member cards, and more. Join today.Recruiting Staff too! |
| Hmm...you wouldn't be wrong actually but you can be popular with just teasing a bunch of girls who like guys humping and kissing each other. |
| I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore. |
But if it was an all female cast then we wouldn't have the perfection that is Viktor Nikiforov. |
 |
| Feels bad man. It could've been better. |
| I feel like if the characters were female it would have had the same kinda feel as that one motorbike anime a season or 2 ago. |
| Hmm I would say most likely not. Well it depends what you mean by popular, if you meant amount the western anime fandom then yeah but if you mean in terms of how many people are going to buy it, fujos are just a less saturated market. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| No, because it's already outselling those seasonal "Yuri" shows. Besides Kubo isn't interested in pandering to neckbeards. |

| It's already very popular though, I've heard people talking about it at school. You could ask "hey, what animes are airing this season?" and the answer would be something like "Yuri on Ice and......... Haikyuu maybe.....?". |
 |
| Realistically speaking, the programs won't be as exciting since women skaters' peak seems to be the triple axel |
| It would probably have bit less viewers. It would share some of viewer-base as it does now, people that watch it for ice-skating and people who watch it for good same-sex romance (that are sadly still rare if not almost non-existent in anime). But it would lack some that watch it for BL reasons. It would gain viewers who would be into girlxgirl, but probably less than it gains BL fans. I doubt it would really gain many ecchi fans, the fanservice is quite low really and has dropped lot since first episodes. There was none in EP9.. In terms of people saying it's somewhat not realistic anime cause it has male skaters- skating wise it's actually realistic. YOU has many professional skaters as viewers and it's skating routines are choreographed by actual skating choreographer who is ex-pro skater himself. |
| Probably, but it doesn't matter, because a rip-off with female characters will probably come soon, and the fact that it's a ripoff will matter less because of it. If something similar with female characters had come first, I'm sure this show would get pretty much no recognition. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| lol, this is outselling Izetta and Keijo by like 10x times. |
 |
| I think it works really well with its current cast, to be honest. I really couldn't imagine the characters fitting into a different gender at all and I think they chose a wise idea with Yuri On Ice. |

| Well Idol Memories is a Love Live clone. Get ready for a clone of this. |

| there was already an ice-skating all-female cast...it's called PRAD, though it's mostly an idol series. |

| Tbh I think if it managed to keep the emotion/comedy on the same level a cute light yuri story would have dont just as well, but who knows? Kiss him not me is fairly well liked this season but if genders were swapped people might have written it off as a harem show. |
| I mean.....I would've watched it if the characters were females |
