Still I like figure skating so I might check it out.

Yuri is also a name in Japan and Russia (obvious from the names of two of the cast it will, in fact, be a Japanese and Russian guy who share the name) so people just need to get the hell over that.

Otherwise the animation looks amazing and its an unconventional topic for anime. I'm excited for this.

Not gong to lie, but this sounds really good. I'm not usually hyping myself for a series since it can often lead to disappointment, but this has all the ingredients for something truly marvelous.

Worst misleading title of all time but ofc we would never get a sports anime about FEMALES for once and even yuri on that hell no, would never happen, how silly of me to think that.

The name is Yuri on Ice... and what I'm getting is fabulous guys on ice that could lead to BL at any time.

Seriously though, I don't know how this anime could be interesting. Maybe if there's drama like in Death Parade.

Err Yeah was hoping for yuri. Does not ven looklike thete'll be yaoi here.

Not sure I'll watch this . . .Why couldn't this had girls instead of guys, it would have been soo much better lol. Not to mention actual yuri. Did not have to be Sakura Trick type yuri, just lesbian relationship slowly developing would have been nice.

Yaoi also stands for "young academics on ice" fyi

Jokes asides, yeah the title is a bit misleading despite the "yuri/yuuri" are actually the characters' names. All the expectations lol.

It's nice to know that they did a lot of research to work on this anime, hopefully it'll be a success since the trailer and cast looks promising already. Might pick this up as well.

A quick look at the mangaka's profile and it's easy to see that she has never written a BL manga before, in fact, she's only done seinen, shounen, and one josei (according to what mangaupdates has). Realistically speaking, this isn't going to turn into romance between the guys. Especially not after 4 years of research. There's a lot of effort being put into this, and I think that in itself is worth trying. But I can see if people don't care for it because they don't want to watch an all male cast. Although figure skating is a beautiful sport, male cast is just icing on the cake for some of us. Otherwise, I'd watch it even if it was all female cast.

Yuuri Katsuki is the pronunciation given by our news source. Nikiforov follows standard romanization of Никифоров. I have revised Prisetsky to Plisetsky according to standard romanization of Плисецкий.

Like others, I got a bit mislead by the title.

Not really interested in figure skating, let alone an anime about it, but I'll give it a go since the PV looked pretty damn good.

Can't say I am excited about that, at this day of age it'll probably mean they'll half ass and limit the skating scenes to make up for how demanding these scenes are to animate. That's why anime studios have avoided doing dancing/figure skating stuff. And IMHO figure skating would be a good target for mixed CG/hand drawn so it's a bit of a wasted potential.

It's not even "yuri" but yuuri, and two of three characters are named Yuri/Yuuri (and Yuri is a very common name in Russian)

oh boy I love this thread, need more salt.

We don't know if target audience will be females, but I just love how a lot of guys cry about fanservice anime for female audience when there are shittons of romance/ecchi/harem stuff with more than enough fanservice. Double standards are real.

you think all boys are perverts? The only harem I liked was twgok because it have interesting characters and nice plot + it don't have a lot of Echhi.
My favorite anime is snk that anime don't have any ecchi or pervert scene
Double standards? Lol is normal for a guy to hate shoujo or those fujobait trash

I said "a lot of guys" for a reason, what part of my post has "all boys"?

I don't like "fujobait" too, or "ecchi fanservice", a lot of good anime series were ruined just for fanservice (male or female targeted, doesn't matter).

BTW there are guys who like "shoujo" and no, they're not "feminine" or "homosexual". For me it's nothing different from girls watching shounen/seinen anime, and it's completely normal.
