Indeed, Yuri on Ice is a fairly simple setup.
Even as it builds up to the melodramatic cornerstones of the series, Yuri on Ice continues to enjoy itself its arcs are simple, and it refrains from over-selling it, by utilising just the perfect amount of ambience and keepings its comic flow perfectly intact. Yuri himself pops up to narrate what’s been going on around the start of each episode in goofy skits, and the series’ rapid-fire joke timing can seriously catch you off guard. In its downtime, Yuri on Ice continues to be a humble and friendly affair. Paired with truly gorgeous animation, Yuri on Ice’s performances can give goosebumps at each point. In fact, the internal monologues are often contrary they’re filled with so much character and emotion that it digs deeply into the mind of a performer, which is usually self-critical and giving an honest look of living in the moment. Yes, Yuri on Ice is making history, and it makes this sports competition unmissable.Ī lot of performance anime will attempt to lampshade a sense of spectacle, literally saying in the dialogue lines such as “I can’t look away!” Yuri on Ice’s performances are much more humble, quietly entering with minimal fanfare or self-explanation. In short, Yuri on Ice lives up to its opening song’s lyrics: the room fell into utter silence in the aftermath of Yuri’s ‘final’ performance, such that I heard 20-odd hearts beating. A spectacle few anime can achieve was achieved. While Yuri himself might not have landed those trickily choreographed jumps, director and clear ice-skating fanatic, Sayo Yamamoto choreographed something exquisite every joke got its due laughs and I’m fairly sure a few shared tears in sheer empathy with Yuri’s sense of failure… but near the end of the first episode, something extraordinary happened. I will probably never forget the atmosphere of the group I sat with to see the opening episode of Yuri on Ice.
