Hey, everyone! Long time no news!

I just wanted to say that as soon as the new Ice Adolescence teaser is online, I’m gonna start a new survey, probably with similar questions as last time, so look out for that! That way we can compare how the fandom’s hype has changed over the past half a year.

See you when the teaser is out and public!

Yuri on Ice: Ice Adolescence Movie News Survey Results - Part 2

Part 1 can be found here.

Method: We conducted a survey via tumblr asking fans of Yuri on Ice what they thought about the recent news regarding Ice Adolescence - the upcoming Yuri on Ice movie, and their hopes on what it might feature.

Number of participants: 415

Limitations: Likely reached only the most active fans in the fandom and may not be representative of the entire community (especially of more casual fans), mostly based on the follower-bases of the bloggers @thatshamelessyaoishipper and @nikiforoov. Around 5% margin of error.

Raw data can be found here.

Findings:

In the question “What do you hope to see in the movie ‘Ice Adolescence’?”, the responses were the following.

*Please note that the answers which were listed by us were more likely to be selected than answers in the “other” section, where the participants had to come up with their own answers.*

87% of participants said they want to see Yuuri in some shape or form.

86,3% stated they want to see Victor’s family or a reason he doesn’t have one.

83,9% said they want to see some scenes from the present day or some form of continuation of the events from season 1.

77,6% stated they would like to see Victor’s old skating programs.

76,1% said they want to see Victor receiving Makkachin.

74,9% stated they would like to see Victor cutting his hair.

65,5% said they want to see other skaters in their younger forms.

62,4% stated they want to see Yakov being a father figure to Victor.

57,6% said they would like to see the Russian figure skating team (Georgi, Mila, etc.)

And 57,1% stated they want to see Victor becoming friends with Chris.

Meanwhile, in the “other” section:

2% wrote that they are open to anything and everything.

2% answered that they want to see Yuuri and Victor get married.

1,2% want to see Yakov and Lilia back when they were married.

1% wrote that they want to see Victuuri being domestic.

0,7% answered that they want to see Victor’s past relationships.

0,7% want to see what got Victor into skating.

0,5% wrote that they want to see present scenes of Victuuri and other characters.

0,5% answered that they want to see an uncensored kiss between Victor and Yuuri.

0,5% want to see small Yurio.

0,5% wrote that they want to see Yuuri in his junior years.

0,5% answered that they want to see Victor tell Yuuri about his past.

(Any answers that had only one vote are not included.)

Below the cut, you can find some of the longer responses we got re:what people hope to see in the movie:

“The reason why Victor neglected his Love and Life, his struggles as well as his succes, how was the journey to become the Living Legend? How did he feel when he landed his first Quad Flip? When he received his first gold medal?”

“Please the movie can be 5 hours of teen Viktor brushing his beautiful long hair and l'll watch it“

“victor's childhood and teenage years and how those years helped him grow to where he is right now”

“Yuri Plisetsky prior to S1; any first experiences Viktor may have had for relationships, how he got into skating and what it’s influence has been on him”

“I know people want a continuations, and I want that too, but a movie about Victor? YES PLEASE! We know next to nothing about his past, what we see of him in the series is mostly in the context of Yuuri, and he's such a big figure as a character and a person in their world but his inner world isn't as explored except for broad strokes -- I am ALL for spotlight on him this time around. I say this not only as a Victor fan, but as a Victuri shipper: it'll be good to have both characters strongly established as individuals, it'll only make my enjoyment of this ship deeper. Besides Vitya ten years ago is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen? (BTW, while I didn't check the options for other people in this poll... I actually want to see them too! But in some way I am fully invested in this being a Victor film. I really hope this ends up giving the fandom a greater appreciation of Victor in himself and with other characters, rather than just in relation to a romance with Yuuri. IDK how invested other people are in this, I heard there was some negativity, but it's a hill I would gladly camp on.)”

“everything kubo and sayo decide to show us, i'm good with everything”

“How Viktor got into figure skating (or what got him into it) , his training regime (how hard he trained, if he did ballet, etc.) and/or possible times he wanted to quit, his love for figure skating/for the ice (b/c let’s be real, everyone’s been focusing on the fact that Viktor was lonely therefore miserable but they forget that he chose to be alone until Yuuri showed him “a new world”), I want to know everything about his programs, what inspired him to create them, see his (bad lmao) relationship with the Russian Figure Skating Federation (Kubo mentioned that during an interview) and Yakov pulling his hair in frustration! Viktor’s education (he speaks English and French) so maybe he had a private tutor/was homeschooled, ir went to a private school, I want to know more about his character in general and how he developed. Like, to me, Viktor is old fashioned (but not in a bad way) the way he dresses, scarfs and long coats, bicycles instead of motorcycles, his costumes, the music for his programs, even the BluRay version of his apartment (wood and books). Damn I want to see so much in this movie but I’ll stop here because it’s going to be so long..”

“I would like the movie to be 300% happier than the trailer makes it seem”

“How his past experiences shaped the way he is today”

“Young Victor being EXTRA™”

“Victor's struggles with loneliness, etc”

“Yuuri's skating life before Sochi! We know he's "Japan's ace" and that he trained under Celestino, but how were his Junior years? Or his Senior debut? I'm super excited for Victor's backstory (it's necessary), but I still have a few questions about Yuuri that I'd like to see addressed in the movie”

“Lilia! I'd love to see if/how she interacted with the younger Russian team, and if she was as hard on Victor as she was on Yuri P”

“Ideally, some sort of framing device including the wedding/Victor and Yuuri's life in St. Petersburg.”

“a younger Chris trying to get Yuri to talk to Victor (bc I have a feeling Chris and Yuri have been knowing each other for a while. (idk if it's true though)”

“how viktor found out about yuuri for the first time bcos i think kubo confirmed he knew about yuuri before the banquet and knew he was a fan based on his skating, but /when/ did he first find out about him”

“Seeing Victor win his first gold or compete in his first major international competition”

“Yuuri featured prominently, not just in a cameo or as a background character”

“Something about yuuri's relationship with his parents and especially his sister when he was smaller”

“Sth like present day Victor reminiscing and/or talking about his past”

“The reason why Victor began figure skating and what was his state of mind beacuse in Yuri!!! on Ice, the past scenes were very vague and sad toned. :(”

This concludes the results of this survey.

Thank you for reading and to those who participated! Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Number of participants: 415

Limitations: Likely reached only the most active fans in the fandom and may not be representative of the entire community (especially of more casual fans), mostly based on the follower-bases of the bloggers @thatshamelessyaoishipper and @nikiforoov. Around 5% margin of error.

Raw data can be found here.

Findings:

95,7% of participants were aware that Yuri on Ice would receive a movie before the announcement which took place during Yuri on Concert in Osaka.

4,3% of participants were not aware that a movie was being made.

73,8% of participants answered that they were excited about the prospect of learning more about Victor through the movie.

19,1% were undecided on how they felt and said they would rather wait for more information.

7,1% were sad or disappointed that the movie will likely not be a direct continuation of the events from season 1.

Additionally, in the follow-up question “If none of the options in the question above apply to you, please explain your feelings here,” 5% of participants said they felt a mix of the feelings mentioned in this question - usually excitement regarding learning more about Victor but disappointment due to the likely lack of a direct continuation of events from season 1.

81,2% of participants would like the movie to be a mix of flashbacks to Victor’s past and present day events in the story, taking place where season 1 ended.

5,8% of participants answered that they would like the movie to be strictly a prequel, with no present day scenes.

Meanwhile, in the “other” option, 11% stated that they have no preference on this matter. On the other hand, 1,4% answered that they don’t want the movie to be a prequel at all.

*This question may need to be repeated because, as I was informed, the “No, I wouldn’t see it even if it were screened in my country” answer wasn’t showing up for some people for a period of time. Below you can see the current results.*

36,1% of participants stated they would go see the movie, but only if they would have to travel less than 2 hours for that purpose.

33,3% said they would only see the movie if it were screened in their city.

14% said they would go to a screening of the movie, regardless of how far they would have to travel.

12,8% said they would go see the movie, as long as it was screened less than 6 hours of travel away from them.

3,4% said they wouldn’t go to a screening of the movie at all.

(Please ignore the cyan-colored answer, it’s a leftover from an answer which didn’t end up appearing in the final version of the survey.)

86% of participants rated their excitement for Ice Adolescence as 8 or higher.

6,8% rated their excitement as 5 or less.

The remaining 7,2% rated their excitement as 6 or 7.

Therefore, 96,6% rated their excitement as 5 or higher.

69,4% of participants stated that the news regarding Ice Adolescence released during Yuri on Concert made them more excited for the movie.

23,4% said it didn’t affect their level of excitement.

7,2% said the news made them less excited for the movie.

*Note that this question is strictly speculation.*

30,4% of participants guessed that the movie might be released between April and June 2017.

28,2% assumed it might be released between October and December 2019.

21,2% guessed it might be released between July and September 2019.

20,2% stated they think it might be released between January and March 2019.

This concludes part 1 of the results.

Part 2 will display and discuss the answers to the question “What do you hope to see in the movie "Ice Adolescence"?“.
