| Finally, another figure skating anime!! My favorite sport <3 Ginban Kaleidoscope was fun but didn't really concentrate on the sport but this one sounds like it will. I'm super excited! I wonder if any of the characters will be based on real skaters. |
| That was by far the gayest thing I have seen in my entire life, and I regularly watch gay porn. I can't wait. |
 |
| The PV is so beautiful. I get the feeling that if I don't keep an eye on this, I'll probably be missing something great~ |
| Won't lie but this could actually turn out pretty good |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Saw this on Twitter a few hours ago BUT YOOO I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SUWABE VOICING THE MAIN CHARACTERS WHOAAA Life is good PV is good Everything is good Finally have an excuse to do a photoshoot at skating rink :^) |
| Fuck, the title misled me. The animation looks nice but lacking minor details like the trail made by the skates. |
| At first glance this looked extraordinarily gay, but I really like that PV. Will give this a shot. |
 |
| Shouldn't it be Yuuri? Given that that's the main character's name. Unless he's meant to be Russian or something. I'm here for this, of course. |
 |
| Yuri on ice? Oh wait, it's not. Still just as gay though. |
 |
| This actually looks pretty damn beautiful. I'm not much of a fan when it comes to figure skating, but the great thing about anime is, that it doesn't matter if you're a fan of something, 'cause usually they can take something you've never cared about, and turn it into something truly wonderful. I'm definitely keeping my eye on this one. |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| They've invested alot of time on this, hope it does well atleast. |

Figure Skating Choreography: Kenji Miyamoto He has choreographed show programs for Shizuka Arakawa, Daisuke Takahashi, Akiko Suzuki, and Yuzuru Hanyu. BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS YOOOOOOO! |

| I like Again!!, I like Endless Night, I like MAPPA, I like the PV. You've got me. |

Zazie122 said: Pronounced Japanese way it should be "Yuuri". But it is foreign name and probably written "Yuri" in the source language (it's the "Yuri Prisetsky" one).Shouldn't it be Yuuri? Given that that's the main character's name. Unless he's meant to be Russian or something. |
| The animation looks rotoscoped, which isn't a bad thing. It doesn't seem like they traced every movement and facial detail, so it doesn't have that weird uncanny valley look that Aku no Hana had. Sayo Yamamoto is a very talented director, and MAPPA has a great team of artists (obviously). I'll probably check this out. Here's hoping it has a decent story. |
| This actually looks good. Looking forward to it. |
| GOD I am so excited rn I have been waiting for an ice skating anime for so long. |
| Yay another masterpiece coming from MAPPA incoming! |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Expected gay girls, got gay guys. This is fine too. |
| I'm soo excited I've been waiting for a figure skating anime for so long about time the best sport was recognized (in 2d form)! |
| > Yuri in title > Sausage fast cast lol. Pass. |
 |
| That title is misleading as fuck....Hype deflated |
| Ehhh I misread title??? This and Cheer Danshi make me rolf so hard......xD |
 |
| this looks fucking gorgeous, i can't wait. |
 |
| That certainly looks gay af, but not the kind I expected going by the title. If I ever decide to watch this, it'll mostly be for Sayo Yamamoto's direction. |
| OMG OMG OMG OMG I've been waiting this for years I'm so happy to be alive It looks awesome , wonderful , gorgeous =") |
| Miyamoto Kenji, fuck yes. I can't believe I missed this news while looking at the news section. This reminds me of the beautiful episode 28 from Japan Animator Expo, also choreographed by Miyamoto. I love all three VAs announced so far too. And MAPPA? Too much excitement these last two days... |
| Again no girls, cmon.. I'm frustrated. |
 |
| omfg just the other day i was wondering if there will ever be an ice skating sol!! will definitely watch this but where's the yuri |
| The characters better be squatting a lot during breaks for the authentic Russian feel. Gonna be a cheeki breeki experience. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| i didn't even know i needed this in my life until now. will definitely check it out! |
| I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed by this. I love Mappa, I like sports anime, but I'm not sure I could stomach this. A bit of actual yuri would have made me watch it, but eh, can't have everything. Figure skating's just not my thing. |
| On first glance I wasn't too excited about this, but after reading through the staff list and watching the PV, I'm pretty sure I'll watch it. |
................................................................................. |
| Man,so many different sports shows flowing this year. Not that I'm complaining,I like variety. This one looks stunning,gonna watch. |
| Wow this looks really nice and i love MAPPA. Will definitely watch this. |
| Sorry MAPPA, looks like I'm gonna have to skip out on this one :( |
