The opening bit just makes my heart soar and when "we were born to make history" drops it's the most triumphant thing ever. It's different, which I love! And the visuals are gorgeous! But then, I have a soft spot for both this kind of music and for those kinds of vocals. Blame Akeboshi.

Since I don't think I've seen anyone mention it in thus thread: while he's accepting his "feminine" role, he refers to himself as "atashi", a female-only pronoun often used by drag queen characters. So yeah this is absolutely 100% queer. Sayo Yamamoto is known for some pretty progressive anime.

That song might be my favorite part of the anime. Its like a stage musical number but with modern aesthetics. Also anyone else catch that when victor showed off eros, that Yuri was like "THAT COULD MAKE A MAN LIKE ME PREGNANT" or something to that matter? If this show doesnt deliver on gay im writing an angry letter to ....someone. Ill figure out who later.

I heard some people on tumblr speculating that Yuri actually turned the story around by skating as the woman - that instead of her(/Yuri) being the passive seducee, instead she(/he) seduces the playboy(/Viktor). (ie, so the rest of the story won't happen the same; the playboy has been captivated.) An interesting theory, but I think the first interpretation people came up with will be more accurate since it's more dramatic. hopeandjoy fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Oct 24, 2016 |

Man, the internet has been busy.

Knowing literally nothing about figure-skating, I really appreciate that blog entry for explaining the difficulty of the moves involved. It's so easy for a layman like me to forget this is a real, intensive sport when the pros make it look nearly effortless.

*showing my age* I remember watching Scott Hamilton backflips and some of the early quad toe loop attempts and being enthralled yet as a kid still understanding that holy crap this is nuts these guys are going to kill themselves one day. And here we are in 2016 I didn't even know that 5 of 6 quads have been successfully been landed now, with the Axel I'm sure is just around the corner yet when I see it my brain won't comprehend what it just saw.

To be fair, apparently some of the quads were only landed in competition *this year*. That's how tough they are.

The Funimation dub came out today(?), good excuse to watch the first episode again. I rather liked the voice choices, but take that as a grain of salt because I'm not usually very picky about anime english dubs. Victor's and Yurio's heavy accent was a very nice touch.

Here's an essay on Victor's routine: http://iwillbeyourhands.tumblr.com/post/151495858582/as-a-long-time-figure-skating-fan-ive-been I don't know how to fancy link. I don't mind fake accents so much. Latin America's VA for Asuka of evangelion did a german accent that everyone seemed to love, tho the VA using the same voice for the MC in sukeban deka was weird as gently caress.
