Figure Skating Anime

[VIETgrlTerifa]

Man you guys were right. The scoring was supposed to mirror real life but the writers couldn't follow through on the consistency and it became all wonky for plot purposes.

No need to justify anything. It seems to be a happy, positive message that YOI brings to the sport. There are loads of top level skaters who love the anime, though Evgenia and Johnny are probably the biggest fans. I do get the feeling sometimes that people just want to hate it because they want to seem "above it", and that's why I think it's great so many top level skaters like it. I'd rather hear about their enthusiasm, than from people who have nothing positive to say.

Amen to that! I mean there were some who are just antis just for the sake of being antis. Some of them were even mean to Kubo that they leaked WTTM and mentioned her on Twitter and she got pissed AF. To the point she had to tweet people to stop showing the vid because she knew about it already. The antis can be so petty that it baffles me at times. I mean which show doesn't have its flaws?

Just so y'all know, the background OST for YOI is now available on Spotify. For those who have it, here!

Since one of the nice things about the anime is that many real skaters love it. I've therefore made a list of them showing appreciation for the anime.

For most, I’ve just picked one example of where they so, even though some of them have done quite a lot of it.

Miu Suzaki and Ryuichi Kihara

This pair has chosen Yuri on Ice (the song) for their SP

Evgenia Medvedeva

Fan Queen. I’m just going to list her entire Twitter page instead of a specific photo, as she is constantly talking about it there. She’s hilarious too; naming her fishes after the characters and making funny reaction pics of herself to things that happen in the anime:

She also received a YOI present at 3.50 in this clip at Russian Nationals, which is being shown off by Eteri:

Johnny Weir

If Evgenia is the Queen, Johnny is the King of the fandom. He has even skated to Yuuri’s Eros routine. This photo is but one of several examples of when he posts about the anime.

Adam Rippon

He tweets about the show as well sometimes. Here he is in his special shirt:

Of course it has something to do with Evgenia:

Denis Ten

Comparing himself to Otabek. They share the same beareace:

His fans sometimes call him Phichit. No, he doesn’t mind. He even posted fanart of himself as such:

Yuzuru Hanyu

Posing with Yurio. Are we surprised that Evgenia and Johnny are there too?

Brooklee trains at that rink, maybe we'll get a cameo from Team Australia in the movie!

Finally, Evgeni Plushenko has posted a link to Crunchyroll’s Yuri on Ice once.

No, that was the administrator or somebody in his media team not him. Probably he is the only one figure skater among those who were mentioned as a base of any characters and doesn't care of it. I'm not sure he knows what is YoI at all...

Look at Johnny! He wants to be a part of YoI

Thanks, I added it.

Oh, Johnny certainly does :agree:. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a cameo in the movie or next season (if there is one).

Plushenko does seem to know about Yuri!!! on Ice:

[renla]

YOI was the reason I started figure skating. I hope we get a new season soon!

I was also getting interested in figure skating, but it seemed quite daunting to get to know all these new rules, competitions, athletes etc.
YOI definitely helped me ease into it

Kubo is in Dallas for an anime convention. Not sure why she was at their rink but she just may have wanted to watch them train. She is a figure skating fan, after all.

It was posted by Svetlana, she was his Facebook's administrator.

I was watching the JGP in Brisbane just now and it looks like another Russian lady is a fan of the series! Alexandra Trusova - who's currently in first going into the Junior Ladies Long program has a Makkachin tissue cover!

Kobu herself tweeted about it not long ago: https://twitter.com/kubo_3260/status/900618925792051200

Cute!

Cool! I added it to the list on the last page :agree:

I wish I could watch the Junior Grand prix, but have to wait until I get home. Am jealous of you :sad21

EDIT: she took it with her as well

Med is steadily converting everyone she knows
First Alina, then Denis Ten, now Sasha, who's next?

 

[AKTKN]

So, about Makkachin. Did anyone spotted that one? (just half a second later)

Well done catching that! It took me 4 tries to spot it. Not functioning well anymore because I woke up early to watch the LP
