I want to watch this, but Crunchyroll doesn't seem to agree with my computer. I can get other shows to play, just not this one.

Darth Walrus posted:... I think I kind of want a link now. This is the first one that came to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gNRwbL6Y0E At this point the story feels like a gay coming of age story that happens to be wrapped in a sports anime. It's really weird that no one is going past "I ship it" in their discussions.

Rand Brittain posted:Having actually had a chance to watch all three episodes now, I'd have to say that if they don't go for an actual romance, they've gone past ship-teasing and into being actually deceptive. The plot of episode three was "Yuri learns how to skate sexy after realizing that he's super-hot for Victor and learns some feminine moves to put this across on the ice." I would actually summarize it as "Yuri has problems tapping into his sexuality and realizes that the heterosexual masculine role isn't for him." If that isn't queer I don't know what is.

I had a bunch of thoughts on the episode: Yuri is the equivalent of Johnny Weir. Yurio is terrified of what happens when puberty catches up to him. IIRC, a lot of figure skaters have a few bad years when this happens and they have to relearn their bodies. Maccachin is going to die when they're away  (I'm guessing Maccachin's about 12, which is the average.)VIctor is an international treasure. Have another post: Various things, including an explanation of a skating gag that went over my head ETA: The GPF skaters with their real-life counterparts Shoma Uno (Skate America winner) and his 3-quad program Comparison of CR with what aired in Japan Notes on what Victor has planned for Yuri Maera Sior fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Oct 27, 2016 |

Time for more links! Production video of rough frames on top of the CG rink How Yuri could lose to Yurio in Russia but still make it to the GPF More information on what's been shown in the show (Some of this will be familiar if you've been reading the other links.) Take this as you will

It sure looks like Victor has decided his new way of surprising the audience is to make it look like he's sleeping with his student. Not that any of us are complaining. More links, although none of them are megaposts explaining what we didn't get in this episode. Yet. The role of the choreographer in skating The process of drawing one of the jumps Speculation that Victor doesn't speak Japanese, hence all of their scenes are in English

Okuyasu Nijimura posted:there's only so much "VIKTOR IS ABUSIVE!" I can take at once. Blue Nation posted:The tumblr theories have gone from "Victor is abusive", to "Victor is hiding an injury", to "Victor is dying", even when the show already stated that Victor's concerns come from a lack of inspiration and him reaching the age when people start retiring. I guess part of the audience really like angst in their shows... I've been lucky enough to avoid seeing these. I have no idea how people can seriously argue for them. How Victor, Yuri, and Yurio reflect the styles seen in mens skating (Seriously, watch Plushenko's routine; the footwork he does at 2:30 is amazing.) Russian nicknames are bonkers

The CD track list has been leaked Notes: L'homme armé (more appropriately translated to "the armed man", not "the gunman") is a very old French song, but there are no skaters from France in the lineup. The piano concerto is almost certainly what we're hearing in the PV, since the snippet that we've heard seems to be in the right key. So far we've also heard Eine kleine Nachtmusik and Mendelssohn's violin concerto. I will continue to laugh if they pull out similar pieces for the rest of the disposable skaters.

I was underwhelmed with the music in this episode. Production suffered quite a bit with Phichit's routine, but that's probably to be expected given how many routines we're seeing. Chris makes me cringe.

This fandom is bizarre. Apparently I'm "projecting" by suggesting that Yuri wasn't aware of his own sexuality at the beginning of the show. Did everyone else forget that he said that he hadn't ever experienced passionate love before? Have a costume reference.

Spiritus Nox posted:...Has there been a guy/guy kiss in an anime this popular before? I can think of a number of reasonably popular shows with open lesbians in them, but not gay men. Granted, that's partly selection bias on my part... No 6 and Shinsekai Yori both had gay kisses.

Spiritus Nox posted:It's Crunchyroll's most watched anime in a bunch of US states, canadian provinces, and european countries, apparently, so somebody's watching it - I don't know if it's popular in the absolute sense, but enough people are talking about it that I would be surprised to discover it's this obscure niche thing. I know that some series are more popular overseas than they are in Japan. I'm curious to know how many people are staying up to watch it/recording it in Japan since it does start so late, whereas it's pretty easily accessible in the rest of the world. We'll know for sure when the sales figures come out in a few months. I'm sure I'll be preordering it like everyone else. Anyone know how long it usually takes for a show to come out in R1?

This weekend was the Cup of China. Patrick Chan will be going to the GPF. If anyone cares about ice dance, the ShibSibs will be going as well.  The NHK Trophy (final event before the GPF) will be next weekend. If Yuzuru Hanyu or Jason Brown get on the podium, they'll be going to the GPF; if Alexei Bychenko can do silver or better, he'll be going.
