If you want something that will get a positive reaction from you, then Yuri!!! on Ice will, because it's made to fit that mold perfectly.

There's a reason that the standard stuff is more successful than most others that aren't (looking at you, Toradora, and your banal cookie-cutter crap). Of course, a lot of people aren't looking for something completely outside the box. But the whole point is that the added value is from the romance, which isn't special once you remove the fact that it's (gasp) two guys. The execution is great, don't get me wrong. The characters are nothing special, it's yet another sports anime only this time about something most people have no clue about, done in a straight up, no-frills, very standard way. Now that we got over how gay Yuri!!! on Ice is, I can cut down the other side of the argument. We aren't in the 80s where enjoying this might have made me seem less manly gay guys falling in love is legit drama, even if executed very simply.

If two guys being obviously (and at times flamboyantly) gay doesn't disturb you, then this show is good. and this is marketted right at that.Īnd yet, the animation is gorgeous, the story is completely standard (except with two guys instead of a guy and a girl) but well executed, and we get a by-the-numbers sports/competition anime. Teen girls have finally reached the point of equality that they squeel over two guys kissing in an exact match to the way guys love watching two girls making out. I once saw two guys making out, and that was the gayest thing I ever saw, until Yaoi!!! on Ice Yuri!!! on Ice.
