It's about a fat crybaby who wants to become number 1 in figure skating and his touchy-feely idol who becomes his coach in one fine morning and starts teaching him the basics of BL without penetrating. It's not even lgbtimately good. On a serious note: it's not the gay main characters that were a put off; It's the way it represented gay people. It represents stereotypical view on gays which only fujoshis and hype-boarders we see now a days would enjoy. I have met gay people and even have/had co-workers who are gay. But you cannot tell their sexuality through their behaviours/actions/gestures. Just a few days back one of my colleagues who is gay was saying he finds it frustrating how people stereotype people like him. This anime was nothing but an attempted swipe at Vladmir Putin for his gay remarks on Sochi Olympics. But instead of improving the image of LGBT, it made a mockery of the said people. It's one of the worst anime I have seen last year alongside Kabaneri and Boke Dake ga Inai Machi. I wish I could redo my hours I spent on these shows. |

Rachmaninow said: Is it the fujoshi that love this ice skating show or is it legitimately good? Yes. It's good. It wouldn't be this popular if there wasn't good things about it (there are many, many fujoshi shows that come out and do not sell like this). To give you a summary of the bad/good: there's some pacing issues, the animation fluxes in quality from jaw-dropping good to pretty bad, and some said they didn't like seeing the routines over and over. The good is the characters are all well-written, not typical stereotypes, and likeable, even the most minor characters on this show have legions of fans who love them. It's also been highly praised for how accurately it portrays the sport, so much so even top-level figure skaters (including some of the biggest ones), are big fans of the show. Most people also say it does a good job portraying LGBT people (especially for an anime). It's also very uplifting and emotionally touching, and quite funny at times. Just watch a few episodes and see if you like it. |

Rachmaninow said: Is it the fujoshi that love this ice skating show or is it legitimately good? It's good in my opinion, definitely not perfect but it's unique and fresh, something that has never been done before. The ice skating is very realistic and the show has been praised by many real life figure skaters. The creators definitely know a thing or two about ice skating and their dedication and passion doesn't go unnoticed. I bumped my rating from a 9 to a 10 when my ship became canon but that's not the only reason why I loved it. I would've liked it just as much if the characters weren't gay since I'm a fan of the sport genre, and the sports is really good. + The OST is outstanding. I also thought it had some nice comedy and every episode left me all warm and happy, it has some really heartwarming and uplifting moments. The show has been praised mainly by girls and figure skaters but that doesn't mean you can't like it as a straight male (I'm not assuming your gender or sexuality here :p), I've recommended it to a few of my straight friends who are into the sports genre and they all loved it, but ofcourse it comes down to personal preference. I cannot guarantee you'll like it because the show has its flaws, like weird pacing and sloppy animation. The show had limited budget and time, and it shows. If you dislike gay relationships you will not like it, it has some (not that much, like 3 minutes per episode) sappy romantic scenes but if you're open minded enough it shouldn't really be a bother. I disagree with gay stereotypes like said here above. I didn't even realize the main characters were gay until one of them indirectly declared their love for the other. The love between the characters is actually quite cute, and I've read in a interview that the creators didn't really plan to make them fall in love but they felt like it's what the characters wanted and just went with it. |

Watch it if you're in for the "orgasmic "ufotable" quality" intense brEATHTAKING action skating animation scenes of MAPPA with the seal of best animation approved by Crunchyroll Edit: but seriously just wait for the blu-ray rips out there I bet the godly best ice skating animation just got even more holy that puts even Disney and Dreamworks to shame |

It only had some pacing issues and its abimation was pretty bad as they reused too many choreographies |
| Wish Flip Flappers did better for vol 2 Yuri on Ice still dominating as expected. |
 |
| I really enjoyed Yuri on Ice. I didn't mean to watch it (check my list and you'll see my preferred genres) but there was so much hype on it by the middle of the season that I watched the first episode and I was instantly hooked on it. I then marathoned the next 5 episodes... it really was that good. For most of the season the romance was pretty low key. It picked up in the last few episodes but the fact that it was done naturally worked very well even though this isn't my usual type of anime. Most BL is yucky with lots of NTR and stuff but this was just natural relationship building which I enjoy whether het, yuri or BL. The humor was great, the music was wonderful, the skating plot (yes, the main plot) was gripping, made me want to watch every week. The animation was great to poor, hopefully fixed on the BDs in the bad spots. The show did a great job on the skating as it was better than watching the real thing which is the hallmark of a great sports anime. Comparisons with Kabaneri and BokuDake are all wrong. For me both Kabaneri and BokuDake started out well but then had poor execution down the stretch and terrible endings while YOI was well planned and executed throughout and had a great ending. There was one spot in YOI where it might have messed things up after episode 8 but they handled it perfectly. I didn't buy it (didn't buy much last year, just Teekyuu, Koyomimonogatari, LoveLive! Sunshine and Macross Delta) but I thought it was great to watch and I'll watch season 2 for sure. |
| It's a special kind of feeling to see YOI doing so consistently well in the market. Especially despite the very vocal minority of people that will take every opportunity they have to bash YOI for ridiculous reasons. In the end, none of your salt matters. So continue raging, while I embrace all the merch I can get and wait around for the inevitable season 2. |

 Anime was the catalyst of my life's downward spiral. Joining MAL was the nail in my coffin.  Every day I keep screaming into the void, but god just tells me to shut up. |
| Believe it or not, I want you to read. In Japan, "Kemono Friends", which was first regarded as a "low budget" anime, is becoming very popular. Not a lie. Japanese anime audiences on Twitter are talking about the anime unanimously. The number of tweets on Ep5 exceeds 30,000, which is nearly 10 times that of Ep1. It's a pandemic. |

Not really sure about the sales but we'll have to see at the later point, but to be fair, the other guy has a point with Japan Twitter tweeting about Kemono Friends. I have few friends who live in Japan, who are basically tweeting about the series. I dont speak Japanese though but I think it has to have something that those liked it. But that's just how I see it. I have heard that it is popular. I'm not sure why. Since hearing that I've tried to watch it again but it just seems like an educational kids show to me. I've heard that the ED hints at it being post-apocalyptic but even so, if feels like geography lessons to me. |

jayvee2016 said: oh.. so far so good. 65k average BD sales for YOI right now.. which means it outsold LLS vol 1 and vol 2 average sales of around 57 to 60K? pretty impressive if you ask me :3 Both Vol.1 and 2 of Yuri on Ice and LLSS have event ticket serial codes bundled on them. LLSS average after the first 2 volumes (Vol.1 is at 83,580, while Vol.2 is at 60,734) is actually 72,157, while Yuri on Ice will probably be around 65K average after the first 2 volumes. The question is how will Vol.3 and onwards hold without the event tickets for Yuri on Ice. The most likely explanation why LLSS Vol.2 has much lower sales than Vol.1, is that fans are satisfied with just going on one of the days, as the concert track lists are going to be almost identical since Aqours does not have a large discography as of yet. The Yuri on Ice event looks to be of a different nature, which is why most fans just bought Vol.1 and 2 as a set. Note: LLSS Vol.5 to 7 also have event tickets serial codes bundled on them, but they did nothing to sales (just compare Vol.5 to Vol.3 and 4 which had no event tickets) as no one even knows what the tickets are for. ○ラブライブ！サンシャイン！！ 【全7巻】 巻数 初動 2週計 累計 発売日 01巻 66,745 71,584 83,384 16.09.27 ※合計 83,580枚、通常版 *,196枚 [11/12 weeks] 02巻 45,815 51,531 60,608 16.10.26 ※合計 60,734枚、通常版 *,126枚 [8 weeks] 03巻 23,249 30,849 34,007 16.11.25 ※合計 34,127枚、通常版 *,120枚 [8/11 weeks] 04巻 25,788 29,851 32,847 16.12.22 [6/7 weeks] 05巻 25,835 30,661 **,*** 17.01.27 [2 weeks] 06巻 **,*** **,*** **,*** 17.02.24 07巻 **,*** **,*** **,*** 17.03.24 ○ユーリ！！！ on ICE 【全6巻】 巻数 初動 2週計 累計 発売日 BD(DVD) BD(DVD) BD(DVD) 01巻 35,453(15,425) 43,393(19,280) 48,055(21,521) 16.12.30 ※合計 69,576枚 [6 weeks] 02巻 36,470(15,381) 42,337(18,291) **,***(**,***) 17.01.27 ※合計 60,628枚 [2 weeks] 03巻 **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) 17.02.24 ※合計 **,***枚 04巻 **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) 17.03.31 ※合計 **,***枚 05巻 **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) 17.04.28 ※合計 **,***枚 06巻 **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) **,***(**,***) 17.05.26 ※合計 **,***枚 |
