| Very good finale but just a bit sad about Yuri (JAP) loosing, ofcourse it looked pretty obvious that Yuri (RUS) was gonna win but still, wanted to see that gold. A season 2 might not be bad but if it dosen't come i wont as mad as other series as this was very satisfying, the three of them skating together and Yuri showing how far he has come, both Yuris. 8/10, very good but i'm not in to this for the yaoi ships. I just enjoy sports animes and this was a very good one |
 |
| That was strong. I had no interest in figure skating before watching this show, and now I want to learn more about it. Sayo Yamamoto did a brilliant job. Yuuri and Yuri's performances at the end gave me chills. Episode: 5/5 Overall: 8/10 |
| Wohoo finally some other language besides Japanese and Minimal Russian with English. I already had thought that they all speak Japanese in this world. For some reason I anticipated Yuri to be 3rd , but what surprised me is JJ , really Third ? From 6th , with not the best Free skate advancing into 3rd ? Just me or Yuri's neck was stretched out at certain moment ? So Viktor's coming back ? Uhh I'm worried , In my opinion it is better to step down as a hero than step down as a last place. I totally don't want that to happen to our Mr. Nikiforov. If there's another season I hope they don't break him. But this Silver - Gold small margin is just a motivation to improve further and give a shot in the next year , but Plisetsky being 15 and already claiming first place in the world is insane achievment. |
| otabek got robbed guys he should've been the champion but even JJ cucked him LUL |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| well at least we didn't have them taking background female character and try them to do some hetero save with her and Yuuri or Viktor.........i am looking at you Hibike no Euphonium. thanksfuck Kyoani didn't work on this even though the animation would have been much better then but i rather this.... |
| The beginning part of this episode is something that I've wanted to happen for a very long time. I would have been fine if the ultimate result was that they went their separate ways, but it needed to addressed. I don't know how to feel about Yuri continuing to skate, it can't be good for his body but if it's what he wants then fair enough. The duet at the end was really beautiful, there's nothing more I could have asked for. |
| Otabek did so good, yet his score's way too low. Even though I wanted Yurio to win it, I felt like Yuri's performance was a little better. At least JJ wasn't nerfed again, lol. Animation quality was pretty good for the finale... even if the first episode had better animations than this. The impact both Yuri and Yurio's performance had was really well donw. Also, the final free skate with Victor and Yuri was great. Overall it was a great series. There's some inconsistent production values and some of the buildup doesn't pay off too much, but it handled its characters and their relationships well and overall it felt really enjoyable, especially with it's modern style. With Yuri not winning gold and him not quitting skating, the chances for a second season is high... especially since this series is predicted to sell 20k+ per volume on first week. "See you next level" must have some sort of importance. 8/10 |

| Just a thought but if Yuri moved to Russia to train under Victor, doesn't that mean they live together now? Like when Yurio moved in with Lilia to train? One can only wish... |

| BEST SPORT ANIME EVER 10/10 ANYTHING FROM KUBO SENSEI WILL BE LOVED BY ME, I LOVE YOU. THANKS FOR CREATIMG THE ANIME. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
AinzOoal said: you said it all. yurio is a terrible character and he didn't deserve that gold.8/10 Show started out great, had good pacing and I really enjoyed the narrative. Had enough momentum to keep going and have a somewhat strong finish. If you're going to shove the main character's romance down our throats for the entire season, can we get some actual romance, and not this "Maybe yes maybe no" crap that Japan is so well known for. Yurio is awful, unpopular opinion. He says terrible things and gets away with it because he's 15 evidently. He's shoved in as a "tsundere" whose whole point is to add angst to an otherwise very mature cast. Then they shoved the gold medal at him to make room for season 2, easy solution. I did like Yuri's internal struggle with his skating, that did help to pull the series up, and I found him very relatable as someone who's struggled with anxiety before. |
 |
| at least this episode is way better than hibike finale, that was beyond bad. pretty average show overall since i have 0 interest in gay stuff. could be better if it's focused on 100% competition and rivalry instead of excessive fujo pandering. the performances were good besides repetitive yuri on ice/agape(?) and that one overly flamboyant creep guy. shame that not only they robbed otabek's medal, they skip and cut his first time on-screen 2nd performance geez. JJ theme was great, I learned how to play it on piano ASAP last week |

Especially the Yurio part. For more than half of the show he was played down as a side character with minimal screen time and now they make him the big star of the series finale? That's quite an asspull. |
| I was hoping they'd stay together but in partner skating and I fucking GOT WHAT I WANTED. Congrats YoI you got bumped up to a 9 for me. I'm satisfied. Don't give a shit about anyone else (except you Pichit. Love you and your innocent dreams.) Never cared about Yurio or his rudeness so the fact that he won gold, while expected, didn't give any satisfaction. I''m actually hoping he doesn't get much screen time next season, even though that's probably not going to be the case. There were issues here and there but I still enjoyed this series immensely, so it's definitely staying in my top. Here's hoping they increase the quality of the animation in the BR release. |

Saarunao said: Well, so much for "making history". Not canon. The history making is in the skate at the end, being the first male skating couple, I believe. A fitting way to end the show. The fact that Victor and Yuri had their beds pushed together, the fact that they have god damn rings, and of course that kiss which only wasn't fully shown because they don't want to offend the Japanese viewers (annoying, I know) shows that the took a more subtle approach to show that they are on some level a romantic couple. I think that with the response of this season, they will be more bold with season 2 (unless Yurio gets in their way). RGN said: Remember that one South Park episode that referenced YOI?Well, it seems they were happy about it  `  OH MY GOD!!! I did not notice this. It's like, the best thing ever XD |
| I'm glad there's a possibility of a season 2. I absolutely loved the episode, and I'm excited to get this on blu-ray whenever it comes out. |
Orionite_ said: Wohoo finally some other language besides Japanese and Minimal Russian with English. I already had thought that they all speak Japanese in this world. No, it's much more likely that they are all speaking English except where they share a common language like Russian between Viktor and Yurio or Italian between "Mickey" and Sara. Yuuri and Phichit trained in Detroit and certainly had to be speaking English there. Otabek probably speaks some Russian; I don't know how common it is to learn English in Kazakhstan. |
| I'm still a little salty that Yurio beat Yuri by only 0.12 points, but all if forgiven from that duet performance of Yuri and Victor. Ahahaha, even though it was to be expected for something as big as this getting a Season 2, I'm still very excited. :) |
 |
| Loved it, definitely the show I enjoyed the most this year, even if I don't consider it the best one. JJ getting bronze after that mess-up was surprising, but I guess it's because of the high difficulty level of his routine, which Otabek's routine lacked. Hoped Yuuri would win, but actually I like this ending more. Russian Yuri truly is a prodigy, likely will become better than Victor. Him and JJ will have a nice rivalry in the future. That Victor and Yuuri duet at the end was beautiful. Really want a season 2, I hope we'll get it. |
| Pair skate at the end was very beautiful and I did not think we would get that. Kudos to Yamamoto and Kubo-sensei. I wish there would be a kiss though..... I suppose they will keep us in suspense for season 2. Gotta milk that cow dry........... |
But can we talk about how our boy grew his hair out??  I never knew how much I needed this until now. |
| I´m so proud of Yurio ;u; Best fairy grew so much! I´m glad Victor and Yuri will still be together in the next year~ Can´t wait for the second season! |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| I UGLY CRIED THROUGH THE WHOLE EPISODE I WANT SEASON 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND |
 |
| Fuck yeah season 2 is probably guaranteed, plus the sales will be pretty good since this is a very popular show. Great episode, I really enjoyed Yuri's performance and was kind of expecting that Yurio would win. It's great that Victor will start competing again. Also loved the duet in the end. I hope s2 has more focus on Victor/ Yuri's relationship plus some more amazing choreographies. Also lmao @ people saying they want this to be less gay as if it is a bad element. |

| Mh yeah, Yurio irritated me until the very end.. I just couldn't symphatize with this annoying kid throughout the entire show nor I couldn't see the appeal everyone could see in him. I wanted extremely bad for Yuuri to win gold- heck,even Otabek deserved that gold instead of annoying cat boy. Sigh, I can't believe there are still people who are in denial with Yuuri and Victor's relationship. So unless we can't see them making out or declaring their love in a totally cheesy and open way it's impossible to accept the fact that they are in a relationship,huh. 2017 is coming,that's very sad.

| Alright finale. And it turned out to just be fujobait after all. Eh. |
 |
| Urgh I knew having a second season was bad news :( I would actually have preferred a more conclusive "1st season" with Yuri winning gold and just retiring together with Victor. Victor doesn't even seem all that happy to return to competitive skating. And the previous episode made it seem like he was pretty satisfied with this current life too imo. And I'm actually also mad that Yurio managed to win gold urgh... after reading so many meta that it wouldn't make sense narratively for him to win... it's killing me. Hopefully next season he won't be as rude and violent >< Then again the duet at this end was perfect... I would have rioted if it turned out it wasn't a duet. Urgh I can't get over this. I'm not satisfied. I'll just go and re-watch ep 10. Season 2 better be announced soon. Kubo said she was planning one some weeks ago so I guess it won't be anytime soon :( |
| i feel dead inside and dont know what to do with my life anymore. someone bury me in a yuri on ice themed coffin. |
 Once we seize space, we'll all... |
| Damn that last skating with Yuri and Viktor was so beautiful Yurio and Oktabek's were amazing too I just wish it had a 13th ep cause this one really felt fast paced Anyway it was lovely, hoping for a second season with more gayness |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Everything about this was good...except for the romance that is, doesn't even matter if gay or not it's just not really all that well written when you really think about, the sudden marriage ruined that aspect of the show for me... so now it feels like nothing but bait. With that said the ice skating is beautiful as always and shined even more in the finale but eh, the romance just didn't live up to that at all. |
 |
| I'm upset!!! I don't feel satisfied with Yurio winning, it would have been MUCH better if Otabek won :/ But still thank god Yuri didn't win cuz then there wouldn't really be a reason for a second season xD OHHH THAT ENDING THO!!! MMMMMHHHHH LOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE ♥ |
   |
| Please give me mooooorrreeeee (T_T) |
| The most character development that i have seen this year goes to Yuri. Man, this precious Katsudon deserves everything♡ I really wanted Yuri to win the gold medal but when Yurio won it i was like "YAAAASSSS" XD Yurio really deserved it too♡ Anyway thanks to Yurio we get another season NITO TOTO TO~♡♡♡ That pairskating was so beautiful!!! I'm cryin♡♡♡ WOOHOO IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL GET TO SEE YURI, VICTOR AND YURIO TRAINING TOGETHER IN RUSSIA♡♡♡YURI ON ICE FOR LIFE♡♡♡ |
