It also attracted praise from professional figure skaters, with some skaters in the2018 Winter Olympicsperforming to music from the show.

Yuri on Icehas raised discussion concerning its depiction of a same-sex relationship between its protagonists, with some critics praising its depiction ofanxiety,its covering of homosexuality in a way that differs from most anime and manga such as theyaoigenre, and for dealing with homosexuality in a country and sport that has present-day issues with homophobia. Others criticized its depiction for being unrealistic, and of visual censorship that arguably makes it ambiguous to some viewers.

After a crushing defeat in theGrand Prix Finaland other competition losses, 23-year-old Japanese figure skater Yuri Katsuki develops mixed feelings about skating and puts his career on hold; he returns to his hometown of Hasetsu inKyushuafter 5 years abroad. Yuri visits his childhood friend, Yuko, at an ice rink (Ice Castle Hasetsu) and perfectly mimics an advanced skating routine performed by his idol, Russian figure skating champion Victor Nikiforov. When secretly recorded footage of Yuri's performance is uploaded to the internet, it catches Victor's attention, and he travels to Kyushu with an offer to coach Yuri and revive his figure-skating career.[d]It is later revealed that Victor was already familiar with Yuri, having met him before at a banquet where Yuri got drunk and asked Victor to be his coach.[e]

After learning about Victor's career decision, Yuri Plisetsky, a rising 15-year-old Russian prodigy skater, travels to Hasetsu to make Victor keep a promise made prior to the beginning of the series. Victor had promised he would choreograph a routine specifically for Yuri P. if he won the Junior World Championships. Victor, having forgotten about his promise to Yuri P., makes the two Yuris compete against each other to decide who he will coach. He chooses two pieces for the skaters, both with the same melody but with a different meaning. The first piece, "Agape",about unconditional love, is given to Yuri P. The second piece,"Eros,”about sexual love, is given to Yuri K.[f]Yuri K.'s performance wins, and Victor becomes Yuri K.'s coach. Yuri P. returns to Russia, and both Yuris vow to win the Grand Prix championship.[g]

Both Yuri K. and Yuri P. qualify to represent their countries in the Grand Prix series, and then later qualify for the Grand Prix Final inBarcelona.Over the course of the Grand Prix, Yuri K. and Victor become increasingly infatuated with each other, eventually leading to the two of them kissing in public.[h]Yuri K. buys them both gold rings in Barcelona, which leads to remarks by Victor about them being engaged.[e]On the eve of the final, Yuri K. plans to quit skating so that Victor can return to the sport and tells Victor of his decision,[i]but Victor tearfully rejects the idea, and they agree to choose their paths after the tournament has finished.[j]The tournament ends with Yuri P. winning the gold medal and Yuri K. winning silver. As a result, Yuri K. decides to continue skating and moves toSt. Petersburgso that he can continue to stay with Victor, and train alongside Yuri P.[j]

The first set, containing the first two episodes, was released on December 30, 2016. Each set includes bonus content such as booklets, production audio commentary and costume-design and choreography videos.[5]

Yuri Katsuki's hometown of Hasetsu,Kyushuis based onKaratsu, Saga.[6]In December 2016,Saga Prefecture's Sagaprise project announced plans to useYuri on Iceto promote tourism in the area.[7]According to Akinori Kawakami, president of the Association to Connect Hasetsu and Karatsu, 20 to 30 people visit Karatsu every day on anime pilgrimages.[8]By May 2017,Yuri on Icehelped to attract 20,000 tourists from 27 countries to Karatsu.[9]On February 22, 2017, theNikkan Sportsnewspaper featured a collaborative illustration depicting Yuri K., Yuri P. and Victor supportingSagan Tosufootball club, which is based in Saga Prefecture.[10]

According to aSakuga Blogstudy,Yuri on Iceused morekeyanimators than any other anime series during the fall 2016 season: an average of 48.5 key animators per episode, five more thanFlip Flappers(which had the second-highest number of key animators).[11]In the early episodes of the series, each character was handled by a different key animator, meaning that skating style of the characters differed from each other.[12]In the skating scenes, the sound effects were changed to match each venue, according to the building's capacity and crowd size. The skating sounds for each sequence were recorded separately. No stock sounds were used for the sequences because each part sounds different, and no footage of professional skaters was used because the music in the programmes normally muffles the sounds. Thus the sounds used were recorded and performed by series choreographer Miyamoto, and each skating sequence is unique to the program.[12]

Reception

edit

Critical reception and figure skating community

edit

The series received positive reviews from critics and professional figure skaters. Among critics, inAnime News Network's"Best and Worst Anime of Fall 2016", five out of nine reviewers calledYuri on Icethe season's best show.[33]In July 2017, the series was named by Eleanor Bley Griffiths of theRadio Timesas one of the best anime TV series available to watch in the UK.[34]From professionals,Yuri on Icewas well-received by figure skaters, includingJohnny Weir,Evgenia Medvedeva,Denis Ten,Evgeni Plushenko,Masato Kimura,Ryuichi Kihara,Miu Suzaki,andAdam Rippon[35][36][37][38]and includedcameo appearancesby skatersNobunari OdaandStéphane Lambiel.[i][j][39][40][41]Weir said in an interview that: "I broke my rule about one episode per day because I physically couldn't stop watching."[42]The closing scene of the tenth episode, when Yuri K. drunkenlypole dances,[e]was also commended by professional pole dancers for its accuracy.[43]

Yuri on Icehas also been praised for its direction. Critics have commented on Sayo Yamamoto's diverse range of characters.[44]Brandon Teteruck of Crunchyroll commented: "Yamamoto is subtly crafting a work that embraces diversity and cultural acceptance. Yamamoto does not characterize the foreign skaters as ethnic stereotypes, but rather allows them to act and behave as their own people."[45]Teteruck also claims that Yamamoto subverts traditional representations of gender, sexuality, and nationality. He highlights a scene in the sixth episode in which the Thai skater Phichit Chulanont skates to a piece of music referencingThe King and I,of which the 1956 and 1999 film version are both banned in Thailand.[k][45]However, the plot was criticised for being repetitive.[46]The characters have received positive comment, primarily over the same-sex relationship between Yuri K. and Victor.[44][47][48]Critics have praised the character of Yuri K. for being a realistic depiction of someone suffering fromanxietyand as, "a textbook example of anunreliable narrator".[49][50]Other characters were also praised, with James Beckett ofAnime News Networkcalling Yuri P. one of 2016's best anime characters.[51]

The quality of the animation received a mixed reception. The quality of the animation in early episodes was lauded by Clover Harker of theUK Anime Network,who said it was, "impressive".[52]Kevin Cirugeda ofAnime News Networkcommented that character designer Tadashi Hiramatsu was able to, "make it feel fresh, but also weirdly reminiscent of the past", comparing the series toFLCL.[53]In later episodes however, there was criticism of the animation skating routines, with one describing it as, "at times painful, or perhaps embarrassing to watch",[54]while another said that the poor animation was the fault of Yamamoto's over-ambition.[45]The music gained positive comment, especially the opening theme tune to the series, "History Maker". Ian Wolf ofAnime UK Newscommented on its rousing theme; the use of English connecting to the show's international feel; and the use of both unusual musical instruments such axylophonein the introduction and of a6
8time signature, arguably make the song a fastwaltzand thus a dance akin to ballet.[55][56]"History Maker" was played in the opening ceremony of the2017–18 Grand Prix of Figure Skating FinalinNagoya.[57]In the2018 Winter Olympics,Kihara and Suzaki performed to the piano version of "Yuri on Ice", Yuri Katsuki's Free Skating Program track, from theOh! SkaTra!!! Yuri!!! on ICEsoundtrack, in thefigure skating team event pairs competition.[38][58][59]

Awards

edit

InCrunchyroll's inaugural Anime Awards,Yuri on Icereceived awards in all of its seven nomination categories: Best Boy (Yuri K.), Best Animation, Most Heartwarming Scene ( "The Kiss", episode seven),[h]Best Couple (Yuri K. and Victor), Best Opening, Best Closing, andAnime of the Year.[60]Although some Crunchyroll users complained that the show won awards it did not deserve, notably the award for Best Animation, and accused fans ofYuri on Iceof rigging the vote, others defended the awards, writing that there was no conclusive evidence to prove this, while Crunchyroll stated on Twitter that they had used strong anti-cheating methods.[61]Kun Gao, the general manager and founder of Crunchyroll, wrote "We are thrilled thatYuri!!! on Icehas both captivated passionate anime fans and introduced new viewers to anime, and we are privileged to have had the opportunity to distribute this amazing property to its many viewers outside Japan ".[62]In 2019, Crunchyoll's editorial team namedYuri on Iceone of the top 25 anime of the 2010s.[63]Ian Wolf ofAnime UK Newsalso picked the series for his list of "best anime of 2010s".[64]Yuri on Icewas listed byLooperas one of the best anime of the 2010s.[65]When reviewing the US Blu-Ray release of the series forAnime News Network,Jacob Chapman commented on the criticismYuri on Icereceived when it won the Anime Awards. He wrote that some people argued the fans were drawn to the anime as a form of escapism following thepolitical events of 2016among other factors, but he responded to this saying that:

The problem with this reductive view is that it assumesYuri!!! on Iceis anywhere near as lightweight and fluffy as its sparkly cover art might suggest. (It's also just a gilded version of the more common "only horny fangirls care about this" argument, meant to delegitimize the show's audience and therefore its merits as a work of art.)[25]

At theTokyo Anime Award Festivalin 2017,Yuri on Icewon Animation of the Year: Television Category and the fan-polled Anime Fan Award. Character designer Tadashi Hiramatsu won the award for Best Animator.[66][67]In the 2017Japan Character Awardspresented by the Character Brand Licensing Association (CBLA),Yuri on Icewon the Japan Character Grand Prize New Face Award. The CBLA gave the show the prize for taking an unusual subject like figure skating and making it appeal to audiences, especially women, and predicted the show, "can continue to grow on a global level.[68]

Depiction of same-sex relationship

edit

Praise

edit
The "kiss" in episode 7 between Victor Nikiforov (left) and Yuri Katsuki (right); although critics and fans accept it as a kiss, its ambiguity leaves the decision up to the viewer. In the official fanbook, directorSayo Yamamotostated that she faced censorship in regards to the kiss.[140]

Yuri on Icewas praised for including a same-sex romantic relationship between Yuri K. and Victor.[47]Among moments highlighted by critics are an apparent kiss in the seventh episode,[h][48][44][141]an exchange of gold rings (indicating a marriage or engagement) in the tenth episode,[e][142][143]and Victor's tears when Yuri suggests ending their partnership in the twelfth episode.[j][142]The kiss won the 2016 Crunchyroll Anime Awards for Most Heartwarming Scene.[60]The exchange of rings between Yuri K. and Victor in the tenth episode is considered the first time such a relationship has been depicted in anime. Gabriella Ekens wrote forAnime News Network,"Yuri on Ice,in depicting a sincere and uncomplicated engagement between two dudes, is unprecedented in anime. There hasn't even been a for realgay marriage in Japan,so this show is depicting something that isn't legally possible in its country of origin ".[143]ForAnime UK News,Ian Wolf called the exchange of rings "the best scene in the series".[142]According to Wolf, the anime is an example of theOdagiri effect.[144]

Yuri on Icehas highlighted homophobia in figure skating and other areas; the seventh episode features a flashback in which a younger Victor performs in a costume based on those worn by openly gay figure skaterJohnny Weir,who was subject to homophobic comments throughout his career.[h][48]Weir said in an interview withThe Geekiary,

I think all positive imagery of LGBT themes in sport are good. Unfortunately, the majority of people that rule the skating world are conservative and more business minded. I think many of them, while they may love and appreciate the art and the sport, are more interested in the business side of things or power trips. I don't know ifYuri on Icewill be able to change the perception of gay athletes to a 60 year old businessman, but I am of the school of thought that every little bit helps.[42]

The series finale features a scene in which Yuri K. and Victor skate together at an exhibition event; something which has not yet occurred in actual competition.[j][142]Critics have noted that the series depicts two characters from countries with problems concerningLGBT rights.[44]

Yuri on Icediffers from other anime covering same-sex relationships, such asyaoiandyuri.Carli Velocci ofGeekwrote,

Their relationship exists somewhere beyond any sexuality, meaning it doesn't fall into the same traps that a lot of yuri and yaoi relationships do... While this isn't the first anime with a same-sex couple at the forefront, it's one of the first to present a story that isn't strictly sexual and is mutual. Yuri and Victor complement each other, but both also admit that they've grown as people because of the presence of the other. The equality in their relationship is revolutionary, even if it wasn't the first to depict one. You can assign the"seme" or "uke"label to Victor and Yuri, but when it comes to their psychological bond, it's more equal... Yuri and Victor aren't just another gay anime couple. They're almost real.[145]

A review inOtaku USAhas argued that the skaters take on anandrogynousappearance when they are performing, saying:

While on ice in the series proper, the main performers often take on an androgynous appearance to feed the show's substance. Yuri's evolution in terms of confidence and capabilities is at the core of the plot, but the heart lies in Yuri's exploration of his feminine side via emotional expression.... Gender roles are further addressed via Viktor's [sic] lines of encouragement to Yuri that, at least as translated, imply both skating direction and romantic suggestion.[146]

Criticism

edit

The relationship has also been criticized as unrealistic, with Yuri K. and Victor not receiving the homophobic abuse they would experience in real life.[143]Others have remarked that some viewers might refuse to acknowledge the relationship because the homosexuality was not explicit. Although the "kiss" is obscured by Victor's arm, it is implicit.[h]Cecilia D'Anastasio ofKotakuwondered why the "kiss" was blocked when other anime, such asFrom the New World,had depicted gay kisses.[46]Wolf ofAnime UK Newsoriginally said of the scene that: "I'm 99.999% sure the kiss did occur, but that 0.001% is horribly getting to me. I don't want to go by what everyone else sees – I want to see what is actually going on, and share in the reaction of the characters at the same time as them".[44]However, by the twelfth episode, he said that the scene in which Victor cries was the proof he wanted:

If the kiss is the initial spark, and the rings the visible sign of love, then the tears are proof that you don't want it to end. I have been saying all the time that what I wanted was text rather thansubtext– but in end, I think the subtext did actually pay off.[142]
