I'll post a google translation of italian articles about GPF.
It's google translate, so if anyone can correct mistakes, I would very much appreciate it. (I'm learning French so I understand some bits but I don't know Italian at all)

Article 1
Yuzuru Hanyu took his second consecutive victory in the final of the Grand Prix enchanting the audience in Barcelona thanks to a free program that , in its own right , has already entered the history of the discipline .
At the same time , the Japanese champion has silenced no chance to reply all the skeptics who , hastily and with little knowledge of the facts , had questioned the result of the short program shouting to the scandal .
The Japanese champions skated a free anthology improving personal best in the segment of the race and scoring the highest technical score in history. Hanyu opened the trial by performing in a celestial being quadruple salchow that the quadruple toe loop , which was added in the second half of the music a couple of pearls as the combination triple axel / triple toe loop combination and a brand new triple axel / euler / triple salchow , stuff that alone is worth the price of admission .
In a performance also characterized by exceptional quality on the elements of spinning top, all judged the highest level available , the Olympic champion has completed the best two quads and seven triple jumps , falling near the end of the work on a triple lutz , correctly judged under rotated .
Both segments of the race proved to be rich in transitional passages , which have enhanced the quality of skating athlete intended to rewrite the history of the discipline . Moreover , the interpretation of the notes today 's " Phantom of the Opera " was timely and lived to the point that Hanyu also gave the impression of humming during some parts of the program.

Article 2
Yuzuru Hanyu has added another jewel to a stratospheric 2014, who will stop him?
Yuzuru Hanyu for the fourth time in his career he shot down the threshold of 280 points in a competition of first level ripping the primacy seasonal compatriot Tatsuki Machida, which stood during Skate America at an altitude of 269.09, nearly twenty lengths less than the score achieved in final of the Grand Prix in Barcelona by the Olympic champion.
On the occasion, the champion of Sendai has recorded the highest TES (total elements score) history in the longest segment of the race confirming of becoming the first man to go beyond the two hundred points. The ambitious goal was not, in fact, achieved because of the fall on the triple lutz under rotated, which cost all inclusive those six points missed call. Moreover, any consideration assumes a very different dimension if you think that the plan to start the race season included a second quad toe loop instead of a second triple lutz. The world record in the free program has thus remained in the hands of Canadian Patrick Chan (196.75), but the student of Brian Orser has revised its staff rising to 194.08.
Back in Japan to better prepare the National Championships, Hanyu has released a number of interesting statements regarding the intentions for the upcoming race in Nagano: "The layout of the jumps will remain the same in Barcelona. I prefer to remain cautious because of the conditions of my leg. If the physical condition will allow me to return to the original layout after the national championships. "Put simply, unless a last minute change of course, in the free program of the National will be attempted only one quad toe loop and the jump which will open the second part of the music will still be a triple lutz.
At this time, you can not see who and how it can cope with a Hanyu healthy. The combined technical component and package art makes the twentysomething Japanese unattainable even for the most qualified competitors, forced to not commit the slightest smear to hope to have some minimal chance of success.
As evidence of the absolute superiority, it is enough to point out how the Japanese twenties is in possession of the best seasonal performance on each item of the score.
SHORT PROGRAM
TES 51.11 - rest of the world 50.91 (TEN, Golden Spin)
PCS 44,42 - 44,15 rest of the world (FERNANDEZ, Rostelecom Cup)
TOTAL 94.08 - rest of the world 93.92 (FERNANDEZ, Rostelecom Cup)
FREE MAP
TES 103.30 - rest of the world 91.74 (MURA, Skate Canada)
PCS 91.78 - rest of the world 88.42 (MACHIDA, Skate America)
TOTAL 194.08 - 175.70 rest of the world (MACHIDA, Skate America)
Putting together the best results obtained on each order of score, the "rest of the world" (Ten, Fernandez, Mura, Machida) would stand at 275.22, almost thirteen lengths less than the 288.16 reached by the winner of the final Grand Prix, slightly penalized in comparison as the sum of the components of the program in the first segment of the race in Barcelona (43.97) was lower than that of the Cup of China (44.42).
Archived the twentieth edition of the main circuit ISU, it is now time to focus on top-level competitions of 2015, but without forgetting that Hanyu, unique in history, won the Olympic title, world title and victory in the Grand Prix during the same calendar year , further proof of a superpower apparently destined to last long.

There's the video of Yuzuru's GPF FS with Italian Eurosport commentators on nicovideo, which someone kindly put the Japanese subtitles, and the commentator (I suppose he's the author of these articles) went on and on about defending Yuzuru's scores from all the criticisms. And they are giving explanations of his scores in these articles, too. How nice of them.
In case this has not been posted yet, the best comment from the video was:
'Welcome to the Hanyu Planet. There's only one habitant, him!'
