| Like everyone else is saying, I love the OP and ED; in both of them, the music really captures some pleasant feelings that I feel are going to be very prominent in this anime. They're both fun and emotional at the same time. The OP is very simple yet still entertaining, while the ED is fun and makes me love characters I haven't even really gotten to know yet. That aside, I'm excited for this one! I was a little bit hesitant at some parts of this episode; I wasn't expecting the more chibi-like Yuri to do the inner monologues/explanations, for example. However, I think that this kind of comedic technique, along with the other comedic parts of this episode, didn't overshadow the clearly more serious/emotional parts. It seems like there will be a nice balance of the two, which can go a long way in terms of plot. As for the characters, I won't say much about them yet, but I will say that I am excited to get to know them as the show goes on. I'll definitely be watching next week! |
| I was hyped for this ever since it was announced. I was really excited for the animation and it has definitely lived up to my expectations. I can't wait to see more of the figure skating. it really is beautiful. |
| This series is going to be amazing! The OP is so artsy with great music and the ED is even better, so catchy! I adored how mundane Yuuri is with his dream and efforts and depression, yet he finds that excitement once again and then VICTOR'S BUTT! Like, seriously, I did not expect Victor to be that flamboyant. Who's truly complaining though, hohohohoho! (◞ꈍ∇ꈍ)◞⋆** |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| amazing visuals. the colour palette is out of this world |
| Absolutely loved it. As a native Russian living in Japan, as a Suwabe fan, and ice skating fan. Definitely going to the anime event when they announce it. |
| Sig Removed. Hosting site unavailable and giving fall virus readings |
| This was pretty good as far as first episodes go. I really enjoyed it. |
 |
| It was a good beginning. The performance are well animated, thanks Mappa, and I like the characters so far. Good OP song |
| I loved everything about it. I expected it to be more like Haikyuu/Kuroko No Basket but it was refreshingly different. Great scenery, great characters and bad-ass OP and ED (which is an Instagram feed <3) Can't wait for next week! |
| This was 10 times better than I imagined it to be, especially for the whole ice skating part (big fan here). Animation is flawless in terms of choreography and realism, OP is one of the best I've seen over the last few years, and ED is catchy too. I guess Victor is going to retire at the end of the series, 27 is already a problematic age for figure skating (at least for some people), so it would make sense that he's casting japanese Yuri for his team. I hope it will make sense in the end and isn't just "because" :/ |
| i liked the first episode, i think it might by my first sports anime where the protagonist is not a high schooler XD and that makes it kinda refreshing (also that it's not a team sport) i m also impressed by the animation, not only the fluent ice skating sequences, but also the colors used were really nice. and i think i already like the main characters, i think they will have a nice dynamic together |
| I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned~ ♫ |
| Meh, I don't like it. Ok, art quality is awesome. Soundtrack is nice. But that's all. I don't like the direction. I don't like MC. I don't like fujo baits. Literally second from the end worst episode of this season which I watched (worse is only Touken Ranbu). |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |

| My smol angry Russian son, why are you so beautiful. |
| Love it! Characters, art, first episode, opening and ending. Love love LOVE IT!! I believe it's an original anime so no manga. So I'm totally excited for more episodes to come. |
 |
| I didn't except the show to be so funny! The opening and ending are great as well! Can't wait to watch more~ |
| Obviously it seems interesting and the animation is beautiful, but seriously why the gay?. I'm mostly good with gay shit but it just comes off cheesy in this, like some fuji bait. Man, I'll give it another week though. |
| ****ing brilliant start; potential AOTS, and in spite of tropes, potentially AOTY? Great style and animation though the skating could use more frames, excellent backgrounds too. I have no strong opinions on yaoi bait but I think it's worth acknowledging that the yaoi bait undertones don't come at the expense of other facets of the show. Or at least they haven't yet. All the elements are measured will and done well. From here is all about keeping consistent quality and hoping the writing and narrative head in a good direction. Can't wait for more. |
| I really loved it! The opening was awesome, the ending also. Really good mix, the skating scenes were just stunning. This took my expectations and surpassed them. ^^" |
| Love this. Love the art too. Great first episode. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| This is a very good surprise. And the animation is just awesome. |
 |
| Had almost zero expectations coming into it and it already captured all my senses. I can already see myself enjoying this anime a lot! Transformation is on the cards. Watch out, Podium! Here comes Yuri! Btw, the OPED are amazing. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| This has some real potential. I got all kinds of 'Your Lie in April' vibes. Kinda surprised the main characters are all in their twenties (except for that 15 year old brat). I thought they would mainly be teens. The slapstick comedy kinda took away the emotional impact of some of the more serious scenes imo.. |
| The worst part of the episode was the OP. It was kinda cringey. Aside from that, this is the clear AOTS. 9/10. |
NovxM said: This gon' be good. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) However, the end felt a bit rushed. The russian champion is already waving his naked butt in front of the main character in the first ep. And decides to be his coach even if they're supposed to be opponents. Idk. I guess asking for great art, animation, bishies AND a credible scenario is a bit too much. :> I guess we'll see his reason and motivation for that in the second episode, I'm sure it'll make sense. |
| Way better than I thought! |

| whoa--- i'm speechless. its way better than I expected it'll be! tbh the first episode get me like...... when I started watching KnB and Haikyuu!! man.. awesome. |
| Wanted to rewatch the final skating scene. Rewatched it. Proceeded to rewatch the entire episode. There is something ridiculously alluring about this series. MiziTami said: GangsterCat said: all english lyrics =/= good especially with those shitty pauses after every single word C'mooooooooonnnnn seriousllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? The lyrics are actually good :/ The pauses are negligible and help create a rising timber. What do you feel is wrong? I've actually got one foot in that boat. Originally I really liked the OP, so I purchased the song from iTunes. I listened to it probably 15 times since then and it has already lost its luster. This is significantly faster than most other songs I spontaneously pick up. The song sounds really good at first, but once you listen to it a few times you start picking up on some nuances that ruin the flow of the song. Here's a small list.
I still like the song, but it doesn't give the same satisfaction as when I heard it the first time. |
| My only complaint is that it's not nearly as gay as I want it to be *sobs/sobs*. On the other hand, I think it shows some potential and it might be bound to be an entertaining anime to watch. I've liked the first episode quite a lot and I don't dislike the characters. Viktor is probably the most attractive character thus far, but I take some interest in the ”other” Yuri as well... he seems like a fun character (with personality issues; which is great, hehe). I was not intrigued by Viktor's decision to ”couch” Yuri-japanese, since it was quite predictable from the teaser and such. However, I do like the development. And, let us all take a moment and applaud Viktor's ass. Thank you very much. |
