Got a bit scared when I saw the quality for some of the drawings during conversational scenes (especially the first confrontation between Yuuri and Yurio) but Yurio's huge kick and the small bit we saw of Viktor's skating gives me hope that it'll be okay.

Show's doing a nice job of setting up a cool dynamic between the three mains by introducing their defining character flaws (Yuuri's stage fright and comparative lack of innate talent, Yurio's dependency and slight inferiority-superiority complex, and Viktor's impulsiveness and perfectionism). It's cool. Viktor's also such a badass mentor. What brute honesty!

I'm sure that the fujobait will only get stronger as the series progresses. (This is okay.)

Might be a little too soon to call it, considering it's only two episodes in but I feel like this is going to be one of my favourites for the season.

Will be interesting to see Yuri dance to 'Eros'.

Hopefully he wins and shows brat Yuri that he is a threat.

Loved this episode! I liked all the yaoi teasing there... I wish there's going to be more of it in the future as well. Even though this is not a gay series, I guess I can still gey my fill with these moments *nom nom nom nom.*

Otherwise, a wonderful episode - I love Victor's idea with regards to the two Yuri's skating programs... haha, he's a little bit evil himself, despite his ikemen appearance, isn't he? Got to love him, though, Victor is just too attractive and cool. I am really looking forward to Japanese Yuri's development... I want to see him shine. As far as Yurio (haha) is concerned, I guess I'm not rooting for him just as much, but then again, he's darn cute as well.

Certainly looking forward to the next episode.

Oh! Oh! I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the bit where Victor asks Yuri if he's had a girlfriend is actually a mistranslation here: http://datboi707.tumblr.com/post/151727461842/okay-yall-listen-to-me-ill-make-it-short-so

I'm not sure if it was a conscious decision to use a gender neutral word (maybe so that they don't put off either audience) or if it just happened but I find it super exciting!!


AHHH I totally missed this one. I mean I heard the ”koibito” word, and I know what it means, but I was fooled by the translation (of ”girlfriend”) and didn't even think about it, darn, so THANK YOU, hahahha! <3
Well, Vic does ask Yuri whether there's a girl he likes (sukina onna no ko ga iru no, or smth like that, which translates to ”is there a girl you like?” )... but he asks it in a gay manner, so it's forgiven *evil, fujoshi laugh*

This episode in a nutshell
Helenus said:
A little linguistic note:

Don't be fooled by the English subtitles. When Yuri and Victor talk about 'girlfriends', Victor utters the word KOIBITO which translates as 'lovers' and can mean both sexes. I'm sure the most of viewers, who regularly watch (romance) anime noticed this. But I just wanted to point it out once again...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Yeah, I noticed that too.

Quite ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) indeed

Probably going to get lots of people disagreeing with me on this one, but the second episode wasn't as good as the first.
Plus, the animation was all derpy and low budget in some scenes compared to the beautiful animation from the first episode.
Though I'm guessing that the amount of fanservice we got compensates it... a bit.

i wanted to scream about how koibito is not a girlfriend but i see others did already.....as a someone who does translating,i can't accept when someone else half-asses their job in the name of heteronormativity.

anyway, why they have Viktor acting like an stereotypical anime American though......

I really hope they wont make them stright in the end. Theres not enough quality anime about LGBT characters, and I dont mean boys love anime, with all the uke-seme bulsshit.

Just think that the characters are your friendly neightbourhood queers ;) This is not a boys love anime, the story is important, just the characters are gay/bi.

Yup, still loving this show. I really hope Yuri wins (because duh, i don't want pretty boy to leave and I also don't want him to randomly decide to stay anyway for whatever reason) and of course its an added bonus that Yurio will acknowledge him.

Yurio's fashion sense though xD And +10 for having a cat =D

I love Victor's poodle! This show is just too cute.

Totally looking forward to seeing Yuri do that Eros dance.

Yuri doesn't have a 2D spineless personality. That line where he thought "He's totally underestimating me" really surprised me. <3 I think he's my fave despite grinning over Viktor's flirting. :O

Saying that, I really appreciate how they're steeping this in a story base even with all the fanservice and comedy. I think it blends together really nicely. Because as much as I like the fun, men's figure skating is still my favorite real and competitive sport out there. I'm way more excited when I watch them skating more than anything. (a real pro skater choreographs <3333333)

I love this episode a lot despite the lack of substantial skating, which I expect since I'm pretty sure there will not be much skating if it's not needed.

Viktor's personality is really savage but my favorite has got to be Russian Yuri/ Yurio (I still hate that it's his name that got changed for the sake of Japanese Yuri's titular main character). I'll call him Yuri and Japanese Yuri, Katsuki.

The moment he arrived was when the anime became instant gold for me, that sweatshirt scene and uploading it to Instagram was the best. <3 He reminds me of Bakugou, who I also love, a little bastard but with a steel heart/determination and pure talent!~ I actually wanted him to dance to Eros 'cause he'd really suit it, I bet. He's like a spoiled prince and his costume in that one competition was really beautiful on him. But Agape on him would be interesting, I like both version of the piece. Still, the title of the next episode based on the preview is, "I am eros and eros is me?" with both Yuri's saying it together so there might be a twist. Okay, I talked about him enough but really excited seeing his actual skating!~ I bet it'll be beautiful...

Amazing episode!
OMG, i just can't stop laughing when i see "sakting-otaku"
And Yuri, he's amazing and funny. I really appreciate his hard work and i was smiling like stupid when he said that thing about pork cutlets in the end of the episode.
I think that this anime is going to be one of my favourites although i watched only 2 epiodes by now.
I'm a huge fan of sports anime, so i'm going to enjoy the whole series for sure.
It's worth watching, so if you're an anime fan chek it out!

After watching the first episode, I was afraid that the gay and fanservice parts would distract from the story, possibly making the show hard to take seriously... but to be honest, after watching this episode I kind of wish Viktor and Yuri end up as a confirmed couple. It would be such a shame if the creators put so much effort into their relationship only to go "nah nvm they're all straight" at the end. Haven't seen any shounen-ai or yaoi label though so I guess it's not that likely.

Also, I really love how blunt and unforgiving Viktor can be :P makes him a bit more layered as a character. Switching around the choice of music for Yuri and Yurio was an interesting move, definitely looking forward to the showdown.

Actually, Victor said "partner" not girlfriend but the subbers are most likely heteronormativite and interpreted it that way

I'm so glad the animation quality didn't drop! That was my one concern with the first episode being so amazing. Less figure skating in this episode and more character development, which I am 100% on board with.

News about Victor coaching the Japanese Yuri spreads far and wide and the Russian Yuri is pissed because he was supposed to be Victor's disciple. Lol when he takes those pictures but then tries to control himself and not post them on social media because his coach will find out. But he succumbs and ends up posting the tiger shirt on the net lol.

And Victor gives the two Yuris the choice between two tunes to skate to. And he gives them the opposite tunes the chose because doing something out of character is what will surprise people. If you do the expected then where's the fun in that? Both Yuris are determined to have Victor all for themselves... that probably sounded wrong... But whatever. Overall a nice episode (save for those tones which might make me run away). But the question is, when will the Japanese Yuri get his new hairdo? He should really start looking like a bishounen instead of the loser he looks like now.

You have to bear through it~ I bet it will be gayer and gayer lol

And BTW the two Yuris somehow remind me to Deku and Kacchan lol
