It’s only been one episode and Victor is already amassing sports anime deathflags (aka: graduation/injury/retirement), what with the ED line about him mentioning time flying by and his sudden interest in training the MC after seeing the video, which seems like an attempt to ensure his legacy continues through the two Yuris
okay I think I’m seeing the angst in Yuri!!! on Ice.
why do I say this? well there’s a certain tweet in the ED where a picture of Yuuri and Victor is shown (they’re inside a train) and the caption is “time flies so fast”. Is Victor gonna leave Yuuri someday?? I mean yeah its bound to happen but we all know thats gonna be an emotional ep.
Me: nah i don’t think they’ll make YOI super gay….I mean the author already planned this 4 years ago and the producers worked for 2 years to finish this animation its not like they’re gonna waste it on the fanservice. so I’ll just focus on the animation and plot then.
*after reading the spoilers*
Me: WE ARE ALL FUCKED.
this is more gay than haikyuu!!, free!, prince of stride and Days combined.
Please welcome @inbetween-lines, taking the ice as a Story Writer! Here’s why they keep coming back to YOI:
I only started to watch YOI end of last year, but then I rewatched it at least 10 times. Yuuri and his feelings of inferiority/resignation at the start resonate with me a lot as a former competitive dancer. Seeing him become more comfortable and confident, and gain someone who he can share his passion with is incredibly comforting.
