This is going to be hilarious

*watches the first episode of Yuri!!! on Ice and dies laughing*

Okay, this is beautiful, but also no one can convince me that this is not going to be BL on ice skates.

Also also, I seriously think that Suwabe may have read Nikiforov’s part, gotten nostalgic, asked himself “what if Atobe were an adult champion Russian figure-skater?” and just kind of run with it from there.

I was contemplating if I should give this a go, and I think this has decided it *g*

[branchandroot]

It promises to have really lovely figure-skating and also a really drama-loving Nikiforov making his proteges' lives /interesting/. *snerks*

And I think Crunchyroll is simulcasting it, which makes it easy for me to keep up!

I'm tentatively interested now. *g*

[branchandroot]

So far, it's lovely and funny, and also Suwabe, so here I am.

Got myself a crunchyroll subscription and watched it. Looks cute and interesting, and for now I'll keep watching. *g*

It promises to be so much OTT BL-tastic fun. I've been waiting and waiting and the first ep delivered so much more than I was expecting. <3

[branchandroot]

It's seriously just enormous fun. I laughed so hard at the ending of ep 1 I think I alarmed the cats.

For a while I just saw the title floating around. Given how they chose to romanize it, I was taken slightly aback when I found out it wasn't Lesbian Icecapades The Animation.

The first episode was a blast, though; it's the new show this season I'm most interested to stick with so far. (Shuumatsu no Izetta looks decent but I'm not fully confident about it. I also need to get to Natsume Yuujinchou Go, but that's not a *new* show...)

[branchandroot]

I'm still wondering if the romanization is a deliberate pun, honestly.

I'm waiting to see, with Izetta. I mean, political intrigue and magic-as-WMD could be really good. It could also be a disappointment like Joker was, trying too hard to be edgy. I shall hope, though!

This is the question I've been asking myself since seeing the screenshots on tumblr: DO i really want to get into another sports anime? Can I? (I kinda tried with kuroko no basuke but gave up halfway through.)

*grins* Depends on your tastes. This one is a little silly, but there's also a heavy dose of "this guy isn't just fucking with our two Idiot Heroes, he's going to make them better--he'll just do it by fucking with them". So there's a lot of our two Naive Heroes taking the bait, hook, line, and sinker, while the audience goes "I see what you did there, Victor".

Also: so much fanservice. Wow that's a lot of lovingly detailed musculature.

A little silly might be just the thing I was looking for. Prince of Tennis was pretty silly after all. And I do enjoy fanservice.
