| Trackback this series earlier, and it become typical rom-com anime with MC being NTR'ed and he choose to focus on sport, literally. Intermezzo : this anime prequel will be sucks So katsudon as Yuri's eros is actually legit, still it isn't as good as Yurio's reason and his love for his grandfather. tbh there's small part of me that annoyed by Yuri's win, Katsudon < Grandfather + that failed move |

I want to see more warm Yuri x Victor interactions like these again <33 I hope Yuri takes that new mentality of his into other competitions too. That grope on Yuri's shoulder from Victor was such a defining moment. It really exemplified how Victor is (and for a long time, has always been) his pillar. It's great to know that he can have actual physical support now on top of his emotional connection to his idol and crush! Completely agree! :) That's why I look forward to seeing how both Yuri and Victor will grow from their bond. Seeing how Victor is so naturally supportive of Yuri, I believe the latter has the ability to do the same. |

| Solve this problem: Y!!!OI Substitute [A] with [!!!] and what do you get folks?!! ^^^ That is basically what happened. |
| I thought Free was the gayest a sports anime could ever get. I was so wrong. Viktor's personality reminds me of Tōru Oikawa from Haikyuu. I do love gloriously flamboyant shameless pretty boys. How many times will we see him naked before this anime is over? Place your bets now! 10/10 would drown in fan-service overload again. |
| The show is sitting on a 6/7 borderline for me at the moment. This was the strongest episode yet, however with the conflict between the two Yuris gone I fear I'll lose interest in future episodes. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Don't know why but I really like the Russian Yuri. It's like he masks a really wounded heart inside his violent nature. Sucks to see him go. Though it was no surprise that the Japanese Yuri won the competition. He's the MC after all. I expected something better from his search for his Eros. Considering he tries to show that he is 'better than women' his performance seems like a love confession to Victor. I don't find this aspect of the show necessary. A young iceskater who loses inspiration and lacks self-confidence one day has the opportunity to work with his idol and they create a genuine bond - that would be enough. Anyway. I still do enjoy this show very much, it's reallu entertaining! |

| I don't get how they win or lose but very nicely done both of them. Yuri is smexy alright.. every guy would fall for this trap. I keep forgetting he's 23 years old ? Granpda vs Katsudon.. well of course katsudon wins. xD |
| I'm a straight male who had a girlfriend and this anime absolutely kills it. Definite AotS right here. Yurio is probably my favourite character so far. |
  |
| shiiiiiiiippppp shipshipshipshipship ship oh and the ice skating was good, the drama and development, little bits of comedy = good episode. I am finally seeing the hype for this series. |
| The ice skating performance was amazing!! Love how beautifully animated the performance was! |
 |
| It's totally gay as I expected, but I like it so far. The animation and music is really nice. Also Russian Yuri is best male tsundere. |
 |
| The details and the animation is quite good, Yuri won the event and Victor will be his coach. |
| Anxiety aside, I love how Yuuri is comfortable enough with himself as a professional skater to willingly identify with the role of the 'most beautiful woman' rather than the 'playboy' in his interpretation of Victor's 'In Regards to Love: ~Eros~'. The way this show approaches the concept of gender roles is so refreshing. It doesn't like to box itself into a corner, but instead, allows its characters express themselves as freely as possible. I mean, how often do you hear an internal monologue such as "It's enough to make even me, a man, pregnant Such eros!" coming from a male character? The ambience of the Onsen on Ice scene is reliably drawn. The choice of lighting and attention to sound really makes it seem like an exhibition skating event. |
| Nice performances, the winner wasn't obvious to me. |
 |
| "I am the most beautiful woman out there." Yeah man become the performance! |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| Well it is ice skating after all, to be graceful is probably the most important thing |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This yaoi I swear, why am I even watching this |

| Enough pork cutlet bowl, as if it doesn’t sound embarrassing enough. Young Victor with long hair is so badass and hot! Dat nose blood. Chill out, Yuuko. But I agree that Yurio looks so beautiful in that see-through costume with those kirakira decorations. |
 |
| O shiet, definitely didn't think that Yuuri would go and grasp his own feminine side :o Suited him perfectly! Although it is a bit hard to believe that he won against Yurio, who made no mistakes at all, just with his charm... Welp, it's not like I know a thing about real life skating, it just somehow looks a bit unbelievable. |
  |
| "I am the most beautiful woman out here" - Yes Yuri, you are! Interesting to see Yuri win over Yurio though. I kinda liked Yurio's performance more. |
 |
| The BL undertones in this anime remind me of Free xD I absolutely love Victor's Engrish lolololol Seems like Yurio might have a thing for the girl ;O |
| Super gay and super good. 5/5 for this ep |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| I'm sad that Yurio lost. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Victor can do whatever he wants and have no shame I wonder what's next for Katski and what's next for Yurio. |
| I think some people have a hard time distinguishing between BL/yaoi & a legit narrative with romance subplot. Sure Yuri obviously has a huge crush on Victor, but Victor was trying to get him to channel his “eros” or so they put it. I don’t think he thinks of Yuri that way. At least not YET. I know they but seriously at this point I still don’t see any of it as bait. I must be the only one who feels this way. I don’t see why Yuri won tho. Personally preferred Yurio’s performance! It was beautiful with how he was thinking of his unconditional love for his grandpa. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Feels bad for Yurio. But nice episode and a beautiful performance. Looking forward to see Yuri and Victory taking on this challenge. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Man , Never Wanna Watch This Homo Crap Again . Sayonara Ice! |
  This show is unexpectedly hilarious! Great episode 9/10. I didn't think Yurio would actually be leaving. The op and ed are soooooooooooo good. |
