I keep thinking, we are going to hit some sorta plateau of homoeroticism, and then the show tops that.


Good Lord :circlefap:
Yeah, my mouth dropped several times during this episode. I didn't care for the Swiss guy, but Jesus, he kicked the homoeroticism up a couple of notches.
I'm also surprised at the lack of gay panic from anyone on this show.
I liked almost all the side characters this episode and I'd be down for a second season following their antics if Yuri does in fact retire. And we haven't even met the Canadian guy yet.

Did Chris really say "I'm gonna cum" at the end of his performance
He said "いきそう" which is more "I feel like I'm gonna cum", but you get the idea. I had to go back when I heard the line to make sure I heard it right. I was quite caught off guard.

Giant post explaining all the mistranslations in episode 1-6 <- Even if you don't normally click on the links I post, click this one. It's worth it. Check out the whole blog, there are a lot of relevant posts tagged with "catsudon on ice."

That took a while to read but it was worth it. I speak Japanese and I often enjoy watching with subtitles to see the difference in how I'd translate something into English versus how others would do it. Translations are really hard to do well, but subtitles need to be well done but also concise.

I love the airport scene so much. Getting met at the airport by someone you love is one of the best feelings in the world. And the dog survived!

The hugging scene was also fantastic and how everyone responded to Yuri hugging them. I want to see more Emil because of the fact he was totally down for the hug whereas everyone else was confused.

Next episode looks to be Spain shenanigans before the Grand Prix. Can't wait for all the character interactions. What was up with the guy on the bike and Yurio? Is he going to join a Spanish biker gang? :allears:

I love JJ and I want to see him succeed to the best of his ability and I want it to not be enough to beat Yuuri

What is the final outcome we are all thinking is going to happen?

Mine:
1st: Yuri
2nd: Chris
3rd: Utabek
4th: Yurio
5th: JJ
6th: Phitchit

I think it's fair to say that Phitchit is coming in last because his technical score is the lowest by quite a bit:

I'm not gonna lie, the thing I'm looking forward to the most next week is seeing Otabek skate. I'm sensing infinite wells of emotion just under the surface.
Well, his skating was described as eloquent in an info spread in a Japanese magazine, so I'd say "outlook good". What exactly will his skating be saying? Kubo said his FS is about love of his country, no clue what his SP will be on

I enjoyed the ending but it did feel like this episode was disjointed due to last minute rewrites or something. We're getting a season 2, so I don't mind that not everything was solved and wrapped up in a neat little package. The only thing I'm salty on is why did JJ get bronze? He said it himself that the other skaters would have to flub in order for him to get on the podium and Otabek skated flawlessly.

I believe so but I could be wrong. I hate this

I'm almost positive that it's against the rules to compete and skate competitively at the same time. I took Victor's wanting to get back into skating was because Yuri made it clear in the hotel room that their relationship was over after the Grand Prix. Victor left skating to pursue love, so with Yuri no longer an option, what else did Victor have. Victor telling this to Yurio and Yakov, lit a very large fire under Yurio's rear end to win so Yuri couldn't retire. In the flash back, we saw that Yurio thought Yuri was a good skater who he wanted to see skate to his full potential. It explains why Yurio was apt to help Yurio with one of the quads he couldn't land. Yurio wants Yuri to keep skating and realized that he wants Victor to keep coaching him.

It was ambiguous (sequel hook!), but more likely than not that Victor will be staying on as Yuri's coach instead of getting back on the ice to compete.

So, what does everyone want to see in season 2?

Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but Yuri and Victor's romantic relationship absolutely did not end. they're still wearing the rings in the epilogue.



Whoops, I was a little unclear in my write up. Yeah, the two of them are together at the end, but before it was dicey due to bad communication.

yeah the lack of on-screen kisses etc aren't some weird hand of censorship god stuff, it's a choice the creators made. tbh I don't feel like excusing them for being coy about it in ep7 and then holding any further ones for an unconfirmed s2.
I wanted an on screen kiss between Yuri and Victor, but I also understand why the creators didn't do it. Kubo is a huge fan of gay stuff so the kiss didn't happen not because of trying to just have the show as bait but rather that they are the main couple and ambiguity sells and keeps people hooked in. They are wearing their rings at the end, so they are still together but who knows if they are still coach/student or competitors (or both? Turns out you can do both in America; not sure what the rules are for Russia). The story of Yuri and Victor felt incomplete because it is. There's very few manga/anime where the mains get together and have a clear relationship in the mid point of the story. The only one coming to my mind is "Jitsu wa Watashi...".
I get why a lot of people wanted to see a kiss and are upset that it didn't happen. YOI felt really fresh for how they treated gay characters and romance. I'm hooked for season 2 and I hope that we get some OVAs to tide us over for however long it takes to get season 2.

Something else that's drat adorable if true (it's hard to tell), it looks like Yurio is wearing Otabek's scarf in the last scene.

So I finished the series and I'm a little confused as to why some people hated JJ. I was expecting him to be some huge rear end in a top hat, but he's just really confident in his own abilities and open in thinking he's the best. I don't think that's really a bad thing.
I hate him because he's Canadian and has a tramp stamp :colbert:

I hope the movie is about Worlds seeing as that's the most important event for skaters and then season 2 can continue with off season shenanigans and then go into the skating season next season.
