sorry to bother you darksapphire senpai but I read on tora's sideblog that the BD version removed the blushes at the end of ep7 and it's irrational but I'm sad ;A;
Please Anon-kouhai, it’s never a bother! :)
Omg! I haven’t seen that post, but I assume you mean the blushes during The Kiss, right? But whyyyyy >-< You’re not being irrational, I get it.
Well, I haven’t seen what it actually looks like (you don’t happen to have a link or a screenshot to share?), but–
Whether it’s this scene here, or afterwards when they lie on the ice, I feel Yuuri at least should be totally blushing. He just performed an extremely difficult FS while on little to no sleep, he should be flushed with exertion at the very least. And afterwards, I LIVE for his delighted flush and widened eyes!
I’ll try not to take offence from Kubo&co (hmmph) that they’ve removed the blushes (or to start wondering whether the creators are trying to hint that it’s not the first kiss). I think they’re removing a lot of blushes on the whole, not just targeting this moment.
I mean, from what I’ve seen, the always-blushing-chicken-nugget Minami has been hit too!
This screenshot from @kukapanda’s blog of some side-by-side comparison scenes of TV and BD shows how much blushing they’ve removed from Minami.
Personally, I think as the creators were going through YOI with the intent to tidy it up and clean up artistic inconsistencies, they probably noticed all the blushing that goes on (it’s an anime!), and when you look at something, not to watch and enjoy it, but to specifically fix and edit, then something like that might seem too much all of a sudden. So… the result was some blushing purge, I guess? :(
But it’s Okay, Anon. I’m sure they’ve made it better as a whole. And of course, we have this new scene: ( gif from kukapanda)
Yuuri and Viktor actually practising together on the ice!! <3
