THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The competition is tense. Not a big fan of Christophe myself but he has a lot of talent.
I find it interesting how the show explores a little about his past as well, like when Victor first gave him some flowers.

Georgi's performance was also appealing. I think in general, the audience got captivated by the different unique styles. Personally, I was quite impressed by the choreography used for Georgi's performance. Also quite impressed by Yuri's performance this episode as well. I think he was able to build on the momentum to go beyond his limits.

Very entertaining episode! The embrace by Victor to Yuri at the end was gold.

Omgsh my heart skipped a beat near the end.... Was it a kiss!? Was it a hug!? WHAT HAPPENED IDK WHAT TO FEEL! All I can think about is that scene ;__; THIS ANIME IS SUCH A TEASE!!

On another note it seems like they used CG for all the skaters except for Yuri... the animation for Yuri's FS was very well done though so was worth it!

"""Censored""" kiss. No debate here.

Everything is set up as a typical anime kissing scene you'd see in other (heterosexual romance) anime: Viktor 'jumping' on Yuuri and wrapping his arms around Yuuri's neck, the slow motion zoom-in on Viktor's lips getting closer and closer to Yuuri's, Yuuri's face is red from excitement, Viktor's eyes are lidded, Viktor's eyes close, camera zooms in on Yuuri's eyes widening in surprise in response to the feeling of Viktor's lips on his, the camera zooms out, showing the dramatic slow-motion fall of both Viktor & Yuuri... on Ice (no pun intended). Then after the kiss comes the embrace, the blushing cheeks and the lovestruck eyes looking into each other.

The audience gasps.

Gay gay gay, so gay!

*a real kiss, not something that vaguely looks like a kiss if you turn your head 180 degrees and drink a bottle of vodka while wearing shipping goggles.

The animation has improved! Just in time for one of the best episodes and the best performance by Yuri so far!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't cg, but there was definitely more effort put into the animation for Yuri's performance.

This was a beautiful episode. The animation of the coreoagraphy was better than episodes 2-6 for all the competitors, in my opinion.

I can tell you that I don't feel like the kiss was enough to redeem the fanservice. I need an actual conversation I think. Maybe for Victor to be a little bit more dimensional. Well, at least no one can say it's queer baiting.

The scene that really got me going was the crying one. It was beautiful, the animation, what Victor and Yuri were thinking, how they expressed themselves. Characterisation was on point there. I'm kinda sad that it will not be remembered, as it happened in the same episode of The Kiss (tm).

I made a bet in the other thread. If they will end up as a canon couple, I will delete my account. I was (and somehow still am) absolutely sure they were just queer-baiting the whole time lol

Best episode of the year next to Re:Zero episode 15. I don't even care about animation anymore. The way they express their stories on the ice is the most mindblowing part.

I was especially stunned during the imagery of the chinese skater, that just looked brilliant.

Phichit and Chris had no mistakes in their free skate, but Phichit snatched it from Chris! I'm honestly surprised :D

I'm sad though that Georgi messed up on his performance, he is a really cool character who expresses his feelings the most on the ice.

The build up to Yuri's performance was amazing, him crying when Viktor told him he would retire almost broke me. But then, THAT SCENE HAPPENED AT THE END! OH MY GOD, i didn't think they would do that!

Quite possibly, this could blow up now immensely due to that scene.

Excellent episode, This was really really good.

Amazing performances coming out from everyone, Some of them might have messed up certain parts but every performance was stunning.
I absolutely love how each of these skaters express their emotions during the skate.

The build up towards Yuri's performance was really good, Starting from his confidence issues to Victor trying to console him and eventually making Yuri cry. I have to admit that I started laughing when Victor made him cry. XD
It was really nice how Yuri told Victor that all he wanted was for Victor to believe that he'd win no matter what. Yuri even consoled Victor before the performance.

The beginning of Yuri's performance with him smiling and thinking about how the crying relieved him, How he could surprise Victor more, along with the flashback with him saying he'll win the Grand Prix was amazing. The soundtrack or rather the beginning of 'Yuri on Ice' fit so well for that particular scene. I don't know, For some reason I got so emotional as all this played out and I saw Yuri out there trying his very best. Yuri's entire performance was just incredible.

Wait, So they actually kissed? I thought it was just bait. XDD
So we're officially Yaoi on Ice now? XDD

Okay, so. Great episode, from the beautiful performances to the KISS FFS!!!! DAT KISS!!!!!
And now I have to wait a whole week after that??????? o.O

But okay okay I see you skeptical people... Let's say they didn't actually kiss because we didn't see it blablabla, alright, then look at THEIR FACES AFTER THAT!!! Doesn't even matter if they kissed or not, how they look at eachother tells everything.

oh and also jealous little Yurio gives me life xD

Even though at this point I'm 90% sure you're just an attention whore...

More confirmation that they kissed... Viktor said: 'This was the only way I could think of that would surprise you more than you surprised me'. In the past Viktor has done his fair share of hyperactive leaps & hugs on Yuuri, but he hadn't kissed Yuuri yet. And now he has, leaving Yuuri more surprised than Viktor.

But people like you are never gonna be satisfied, and well, that is your loss buddy. Not ours!

Yuri was way nervous than I expected, but he managed to pull himself together just in time. Maybe Victor's choice of words was right after all? It didn't went as expected at first, but in the end it had a good effect on Yuri, so...

Anyway, it's really pleasant to see a protagonist make progress and become stronger so fast.

Damn, Georgi is still creepy. He is so obsessed with his former girlfriend. I laughed when she gave him the thumb down before leaving.

Why are people saying they didn't actually kiss? I mean, Victor said "that was the only thing I could do to surprise you even more". So, why would he only hug Yuuri, if he had done that COUNTLESS of times already? I'm sure a hug wouldn't surprise Yuuri anymore.
Anyway, at this rate, they will sure show us another kiss which is more explicit so I guess some people will stop being in denial.

i also agree/believe it was heavily implied that IT WAS a kiss.....as someone up there explained how of an typical kiss set up was that. Because it totally was. So yeah,a kiss^^ (but i hope we will get proper kiss later which no one will be able to disprove)

Did he ever literally jump into Yuri's arms in the arena in front of the whole audience though? I think it's more that people who think it's a kiss want it to be than the other way around.

As for me, I don't really care either way.

THEY KISSED! THEY TOTALLY KISSED! VICTOR IS AWESOME! OMG I LOVE THIS.

Censored kiss (boo) but a kiss nonetheless. Proof: Why else would Victor say that it was the only thing he could think of to surprise Yuri more than what Yuri did? Victor hugs him all the time already. Even suddenly leaping at him. A hug like that wouldn't be more of a surprise. It would have to be something new. Therefore he totally kissed him!

AOTS! Well assuming they don't try to make the kissing seem just like Victor's typical flirting. Nah man Victor LURVS YURI

Victor x Yuri is the OTP! (or wait maybe its Yuri x Victor?????? I need some doujinshi ASAP)
