History Maker is out

Can you hear my heartbeat?
Tired of feeling never enough
I close my eyes and tell myself that my dreams will come true

There’ll be no more darkness
when you believe in yourself you are unstoppable
Where your destiny lies, dancing on the blades,
you set my heart on fire

Don’t stop us now, the moment of truth
We were born to make history
We’ll make it happen, we’ll turn it around
Yes, we were born to make history

Can you hear my heartbeat?
I’ve got a feeling it’s never too late
I close my eyes and see myself how my dreams will come true

Free was actually lower, It didn't start gaining steam up until mid-season. The thing with fujo shows is that they don't pre-order as much, so stalker for these shows is useless. If we go by the usually pre-order pattern alone, Free should've made no more than 10k.

Even though only one episode is out, I genuinely get the feeling that so much love has been poured into this series. Every anime is a labor of love to some extent, but all the stuff I read about YoI makes it really stand apart in that regard. I'm so impatient for the next episode.

This, it's amazing how you can just feel the love and hard work and sweat that was put into this. I don't know how high the budget was for YoI, but surely it wasn't SNK or Haikyuu tier, yet they managed to make something amazing, OVA tier animation, almost movie quality, probably by working way more than was necessary for they paycheck. It's very inspiring.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. Victor's animation was beautiful, but Yuuri's was rougher. Could be stylistic, though.

It probably was, I mean that was the one performace they used for their main PV, not Victor's.
I suspect Victor's was based on rotoscopy (of course that's still means a lot of animation work since pure rotoscoped frames are useless and don't flow as well as Victor's animation did) while Yuri's was entirely hand drawn.

>>148261757

I feel that too, its probably because the director has been dying to do an ice skating series for so long now. She did a short animation some years back called Endless Night which I recommend if you haven't seen it already, its pretty much early concepts for Yuri and Victor.
She also did the Persona 5 intro and (of course) was the one who suggested the skating scenes for that too.

Up to roughly 1 week ago, the Japanese sites used this spelling.

Someone actually English-speaking corrected them to Jean-Jacques, but it was too late to change the animation in episode 1.

Subtle.

>>148262745
And? It's not Jack.

I'm a bit confused when we're gonna meet all the other characters. Since the sport itself is preformed one by one they won't be able to "battle" in the sense that most sports do. Is it gonna take place at a training camp or something?
>>
>>148262818
Pre-skate warm ups? Everyone skates on the ice.
>>
>>148262816
It's why his name was official Jean Jack until like a week ago, and unless you only got into the series this week or bothered checking now, you wouldn't know that the name got changed so late in the game.

It's probably a sign someone on the team actually cares about authenticity and the world audience.

Viktor sees the tent in Yuri's pants and as a future mentor they need to strengthen their bond by starting out with mutually jerking each other off and ending Viktor's stay in Japan with him cumming inside Yuri so much he's dripping the Russian's semen. It's perfect practice for Yuri to tighten his asshole and make his buttcheeks look more fuckable on ice so judges are so turned on they award him his perfect score of 10 points each before stumbling out of the rink to masturbate in the bathroom over those tight and firm cheeks. And as a reward for doing so well, Viktor invites Yuri to be his personal snow bunny to relieve sexual urges and they travel the world competing in skating tournaments with Viktor's dick motivating Yuri to be the very best like no one ever was.

What do you get a grumpy Slav to make him happy?

>>148258263
Is all that stuff true about him being raised by his grandparents and being the sole financial support for his family since he went pro? If so, that's a lot of pressure for a 15 year old kid. I'm assuming his grandfather is dead too going by spoilers.

This one. It's the same one Yuuri makes his fired up face at at the beginning of the episode. Victor was taken by his expression rather than technique. Yuuri really likes skating and you can see it during his performance. For him it's not just about the competition and winning medals. Being able to skate like that after being utterly crushed in a competition is not something everyone is capable of doing.

In my opinion, anyway.

He probably just thought that Yuuri had the potential to be as good as he was after seeing him perfectly copy his winning routine.

As for why he's so intent on training someone in the first place, who knows, it might have something to do with him not answering whether he was going to compete next season, maybe he's just putting off having to deal with retiring, or maybe already accepting that he's going to get pushed out of the industry and trying to mold Yuuri into the next him so that he can still be somewhat relevant in the competitions.

It's definitely going to be a major plot point later on, at this point we'll just have to wait and see.
>>

>>
>>148274813
>perfectly copy

I don't think that was the case, as Yuuri isn't portrayed as being that great yet. It was probably more of a potential/emotional thing than anything to do with actual skill. If he wanted someone to "perfectly copy" his work, he already has Yurio for that.

Which is why I'm curious if his reason for training Yuri is more than just "he has the heart for it!" type stuff as I find that really weak and it's overdone. I think Victor might have more going on besides obvious reasoning, so I'll just have to wait and see I guess.

He might be trying to pit the two Yuri's against each other to find out which one would be best to be his "heir". Which would be pretty fucked, but atleast a bit more interesting.

I just don't even know the point of Yurio if not to have some sort of rivalry with Yuri seeing as he clearly thinks he's hot shit and won't give up trying to be the best easily.

>don't even know the point of Yurio

He could be PLOT TWIST. As in, it's revealed that Victor only chose Yuri to motivate Yurio to take his skating more seriously since he knew Yurio would have a complex towards him. I think the fact that they have the same name just makes it a more obvious narrative as Yurio already was annoyed at that. The whole "we only need on Yuri in the same bracket" is a bit in your face too. Someone complained about Victor training Yuri being an unrealistic Cinderella story, but that might just be the whole point. Victor's real reasoning might turn out to be more obvious and cruel because of that.

Basically, I'm saying that Victor is using Yuri. It makes the most sense realistically. Why else would he fly to Nipland to train a guy who did horribly when he has a much younger prodigy already under his wing? Maybe he is just really that nuts, but who knows.

> Yuuri isn't portrayed as being that great yet in terms of actual skill

I thought that was exactly what that scene was meant to portray, actually, that Yuuri really does have amazing technical skills but he doesn't seem to have a proper emotional motivation in his skating other than just wanting to be like Victor, that and the fact that he chokes under stress.

I imagine most of the training won't be to raise his skill level in terms of actual skating, but more Victor trying to give him more of an emotional core so that he is more versatile in what feelings he can portray in skating, as well as trying to get his confidence up so that he he doesn't break down in big competitions.

We just don't really know at this point why Victor wants to train someone at all rather than just preparing to compete himself, but like I said, I imagine it has something to do with either him trying to put off giving a solid answer as to whether he'll retire, or, like you said, trying to mold Yuuri into another winner so that he would still feel relevant/so he can live vicariously through him like some ballet mother.

Victor already has Yurio though. He has the skill and doesn't choke, so why would he want to train Yuri at all unless it was for some emotional reason or trying to pit him and Yurio against each other? Or like that other anon said, as motivation for Yurio maybe.

I think it goes without saying that Yuri isn't at Victor's skill level yet and he even was surprised at Yurio's when watching him on tv, but I do agree that him finding more of a proper reason to skate and not choking will probably be a main focus.
>>
>>148256063
Retarded stalkershitters called it a flop basing on their accurate predictions and joked about Kyoani handing over BDs for free.
>>
>>148277014

Maybe he thinks Yuuri has more potential than Yurio? It's clear from the first episode as well as the pre-screening reviews that Yurio is pretty cocky and dismisses Victors comments about his performance saying "I won so its fine right?" could be that Victor wants to try training someone more receptive to his teachings?

Could be that Victor thinks that Yuuri may be able to convey more genuine emotion in his skating than Yurio, as we see from the brief of the 'competition' he sets both of them.

Could be a combination of these things or not, but like I said, his skill isn't really in question here. If Victor can get him to be able to convey feelings he isn't used to conveying in his skating as well as getting him to not break down to stress at big competitions, he'd definitely beat Yurio in terms of skill in that case.

I'd hope not, yeah, though even if Victor is using Yuuri, I imagine it'd still be in a more subtle way that he wouldn't really be able to get mad at.

Like even if he was just completely using Yuuri so that he could still be relevant on the world stage or something, the fact remains that Yuuri got his idol to come and teach him how to be the best skater he can be, and it's something he -wants- to do, not like dance moms whose kids don't even like it.

I wouldn't go as far as to say Victor thinks Yuri has more potential than Yurio. Unless this is going to be one of those super dramatic anime, which I doubt. It also makes Victor look really shitty to give up on Yurio, who's still very young and therefore not a lost cause by any means. Especially because he made him a promise and he's going to bail because "you're not being receptive enough"? Come on. I'm not saying he should baby him, but maybe giving him a rival is just the medicine he needs.

I think it's more likely they're both going to learn to improve on their individual weaknesses and that's possibly the reason Victor set this whole thing up. I mean, the competition for the spoilers is literally them both doing something out of their comfort zone that Victor chose for them.

I would suggest that maybe Yurio will go off and find a different coach if Victor were really playing favorites, but the OP and ED seems to suggest those three will be spending a lot of time together.

I don't think Yuri's skill is the real issue myself, but he's definitely not on the same performance level as Victor and Yurio as he is now.

Cute.

I think in the first scene it also shows Yuri plugging his ear as they are lighting the sparkler, like he doesn't know it's not the exploding type of firework.

Do they not have fireworks in Russia, or was he just very sheltered? I imagine the poor kid doesn't have much of a social life due to his career.
>>
>>148280288
>he's going to bail because "you're not being receptive enough"?

Maybe Victor is also used to people just fawning over him, and since Yurio is pretty much doing his thing, and succeeding while doing it, he feels out of control.

For some reason this is ridiculously intimate. Like they could've had a picture of Victor tenderly nibbling at Yuuri's earlobe and it still wouldn't have been as intimate as this.
>>
>>148280576
That seems really petty if so. I'd hope as a 27 year old adult that's been in the business awhile, he'd be more mature than that.

I mean, if that's really the case, Yurio is probably better off to be honest. The kid already has personality issues, he wouldn't need a diva mentor to teach him more bad habits.

I don't think that's the case though. We wouldn't really have much of a story if Victor were that shallow and things that simple.

If it's anything like that though, it's probably something along the lines of Victor might feel like Yurio doesn't need him to succeed while Yuri clearly does need help. We'll see I guess.

Not really to that extent, I don't think Victor is a diva, he's just used to people spoiling him, with very good reason.
But now he's getting to a point where that's going to stop, it's practically all part of the mid life crisis.

Speculation is headcanon? The episode's not out, so what? Every thread on /a/ with actual discussion has discussion about what people think might happen next, character motives etc.

Letting someone touch your hair is a proof of trust.

It's also the reason why you feel like crying after a bad haircut.

>>
>>148280896
I'm sorry but bailing on a kid you made a promise to mentor because they're not giving you enough attention isn't just diva mode, it's straight up immaturity.

It's even worse if he is having a mid-life crisis, because he'd be letting his personal issues affect Yurio negatively.

Like I said, I don't think it will be like that though. I think Victor is probably smarter and deeper than that. I'm all for characters having flaws as long as they are written well, but Victor being a broken manchild sounds like something out of a bad fanfic.

The way Yuri keeps going on about how much of a "genius" he is, I doubt that's the case and I don't think the anime will present him in such a negative light.

Highest level doesn't mean shit if you can't perform when it counts (especially when there are plenty others who can and do) which is probably the point of Victor trying to bring out his potential more.

He was surprised at Yurio's jumps on the tv and he even asks him for tips during their competition where they supposedly bond a little, so I doubt he's at his level. Yurio's also 15, so I don't see how it's comparable at all.

I think both Yurio and Yuri have room to grow in different ways. As MC, it's only natural Yuri probably has more things to work on than Yurio so they anime can focus on him more.
>>
>>148281571
Yeah but if it's a question of Victor choosing his protege based on skill or potential alone it doesn't mean he loses out. There's no reason to assume he's the line with the lesser skills or potential.

>>148280896
>he's spoiled
It's okay to spoil people who work hard and do their best to make the people around them happy.
You can tell when he ask Yuri if he wants a picture that he's not doing so out of arrogance or because he wants a kick out of the attention (though he does appreciate it), but because he wants to make the people around him and his fans happy and if 5 minutes of his time to take a picture or a wink is all it takes then he'll do it.
>>
>>148281729
I don't think anyone actually thinks the MC isn't going to win the competition if it is one, just that he's obviously not already there yet.

Yurio is a prodigy who is obviously put there at first to make Yuri feel like shit about his own skating. Or did you not watch the first episode and see their interaction and Yuri's thoughts afterwards about younger skaters that will come even if he quits.

I'm sure it won't stay this way and they will probably bond somehow, I'm just saying the narrative is pretty obvious as is. They have the same name and Victor pits them against each other. Can the rivalry get any more literal?

I don't know if the endgame will even be one winning out over the other. It's too predictable which is why a lot of shows don't do it. It's more likely that one decides to quit skating for whatever reason. I'm guessing that would be Yurio as he's young and not the MC, but it's too early to tell where the story is even going to go at this point.

It really depends on how important Yurio actually is. They show the 3 together alot, but there's also clear preference towards Yuri/Victor bond. It could just be because he's MC, but if Yurio is just third wheel rather than an actual MC on the same level of the other two than the story will be a lot more predictable I think.

The writer must have been laughing like a mad scientist while writing this scene. Set up cute childhood friend, who still looks like a perky teenager and lead up to some sort of confession scene, only to drop the reveal of the bratty Chad from the flashbacks having performed his very own version of a tripple axel on her already. There's no way the writer wasn't aware of what he or she was doing here.

Probably because they are tired of the same overused underdog beta trope MC.

Atleast Free! had the unmotivated prodigy thing going on.
>>
>>148282305
Don't kid yourself. He'll look like that in select scenes only. Anyone expecting him to go full bishie mode like the Ruskies is just dumb.
>>
>>148282134
Not the anon, you are replying to but Yurio is helping financially his family for years now because of his ice skating career. He won't give up anytime soon unless there is a serious health issue. And it would be too cruel to give the youngest of the main cast an injury to stop him while advancing MC.

And yes, it's obvious the main relationship will be Victor/Yuuri. For me Yurio will mostly act like a link for rivalry and friendship with Yuri while we see how a prodigy so young can advance in a sport career.
>>
>>148282334
>implying the unmotivated prodigy thing isn't overused
I'd choose the beta underdog MC anytime. I don't care about watching more Inahos/Kiritos evolve effortlessly in a setting which can't challenge their skills.

The best way to keep them both interested is to make them think you are choosing one over the other. He obviously still has a crush on her but she's married. It's just another way these fujobait shows keep people dangling without fully commiting to either side.

Victor seems most popular, so I'm gonna have to concede they aren't entirely shit this time.

>>
>>148282388
>Kiritos

Nice extreme comparison. Funny how you completely ignored the Free! comparison because it actually had an MC who was challenged and lost. It's a good example of how you could go about writing an unmotivated prodigy. By not having his powerlevel be the issue.

>implying Yuri's Cinderella story is any better than Kirito

I'm not saying this show is going to be shit, but from what we know Victor choosing him on a whim is already retardedly unrealistic MC hacks.

I'm sure there's a deeper reason, I'm just pointing out your obvious bias.

I agree with you, I was just theorizing for the people who think that one is going to get shafted hard over the other for some reason.

The only realistic reason I could see Yurio giving up from what we know is a sports injury and I doubt they'd pull that as he's so young as you've said.

I just find it weird that they would pit a kid against an adult MC in the first place, which is why I don't think any actual rivalry will last very long or be very serious.

It's probably more about advancing and growing for the two rather than actually beating each other in the end.

I never said it was a well-written masterpiece, just that it was a good example of a way to approach that type of character. I was just pointing out your obvious bias since you posted such an extreme example even though what you're arguing for isn't much better than Kirito at this point.

Me too. Uusually we see all teens together or more of them in a team and 2-3 adults but in this case we have two adults who both are way older than the kid who is 15 (one is 27 and the other 23). I am curious to see how it will go because you need to be careful with the character dynamics in this situation due to age and experience difference (both life and sport).

>It's probably more about advancing and growing for the two rather than actually beating each other in the end.
Yes, if we really go by the OP and ED, and of course the general assumption, they won't go full drama.

Talking about the OP now, I noticed that only Yuuri and Victor have solo skating parts. More so Victor. Yurio only appears to skate with them during the main part of the song and at the end we see how he goes alone at the right side while Victor/Yuuri go at the left. In the ED we also see the same: Yurio is with them during the start but as the Instagram thing keeps going we see that Victor/Yuuri is the main relationship focus of the story.

If the stunt you're talking about is her backflip, the only time she ever did that in actual competition was the Nagano Olympics, during the free skate when she knew she was already off the medal platform.

Her silver hissy fit was the '94 World Championships in Chiba after a tiebreaker didn't go her way.

It's not like I'm usually rooting for the "magical girlfriend falls from the sky" trope either, but at least it makes enough sense and ultimately it was still Yuri taking action to get out of his depression that brought Victor to him, and that's what matters, so it works for me. Moreover it's not like it just came out of nowhere, you could see Victor was agonizing over what he was going to do next season, and the very first line of the show serves to caracterize Victor as someone who's whimsical and likes surprising people.

>>
>>148283240
Yea, the age difference is interesting and I hope they know what they are doing. Having Yurio be a prodigy might be them trying to level the playing field, but it would still be weird to consider him a serious rival in terms of narrative due to him being a kid. I don't think that would be a very good decision in terms of writing, so I hope they don't go that route.

As you've said, OP and ED seem to suggest that's not the case anyway.

I think that Victor/Yuri is obviously going to be the closest bond of the three. Again, the age gap comes into play here as well. They are both adults, ofcourse they are going to be closer to each other than with the teenager.

I think Yurio will learn a lot from being with these two and like Victor, I think we will learn more about his reason for doing things the way he does. I don't think he will quit skating at this point, but I am very curious as to what exactly they are going to do with him in the end.

Going back to why he has such a piss poor attitude, I can already think of a few reasons based on what we know of his home situation. He's 15 with a lot of shit on his plate afterall.

I'm sure Victor must have a deeper reason for training Yuri, but as we don't know that reason yet, it's not any better than the typical contrived bullshit you see all the time.

Obviously, Yuri actually trying is a good thing, but his idol stumbling upon his efforts and him getting the ultimate reward for it is unrealistic fairy-tale type stuff and is in no way praiseworthy until the story explains itself. Which I'm sure it will.

I think the point is to showcase the struggles an athlete finds at different stages of his career: Victor's is about accepting that your time to shine is over, how to face retirement and what to do after it. YuriK is in the middle of his career, at a point where he needs to grow out of the shadow of his idol and find his own style.
YuriP is just starting out in a world where he has to compete against adults with twice as much experience as him, both as people and as skaters. Now that he is no longer a junior, nobody gives a shit about how young he is, he is expected to perform and behave just like people in their twenties even though he is obviously not one.

I find it a bit odd as well. I'm not saying he's a bad character, but the Fairy is more the type fujos go for. They like him, but not as much as Victor it seems.

It's probably because Victor is hardcore shipperbait while the Fairy is an underage who probably won't get fanservice on the levels of the adults. It'd be different if he were in a cast of people his own age I think.

That's my problem with him. When I see him, I don't see a character, I just see fujobait. Granted, he's not the first fujobait character in a series, but he's so over the top it almost seems like a parody.

Even with what we're given this epsode it's not really contrived bullshit. Like >>148283519 mentioned there's enough set-up for it with Victor implied to be in a crossroads of his own with the question of retirement looming, and established as a quirky person. And then here comes someone who was not only able to do his routine, but was more suited to it than even Victor himself. It's easy to connect the dots.
>>
>>148284380
Yea, the whole 15>23>27 seems to indicate them trying to show us different stages in an athletes career.

Yurio is an obvious case of growing up too fast. Or rather, too much responsibility on the shoulders of someone so young both in his personal and professional life. It'll be interesting to see how he grows.

>It's probably because Victor is hardcore shipperbait while the Fairy is an underage who probably won't get fanservice on the levels of the adults. It'd be different if he were in a cast of people his own age I think.
This aside, Victor is someone who knows where to stand. He is sexy, charismatic and has a good body so he knows how to go around and what fans like. He is confident in himself and is also a super star in the ice skating/sport world. Plus, the fact we mostly see teens in sport and not characters like him, makes an interesting case of character writing.
>>
>>148284720
That is the very definition of contrived though. Victor being uncertain about his future is a fine setup, but the circumstances surrounding his choosing of Yuri are unrealistic as hell.
>>
>>148284545
Why is it odd? Fojos love all kinds of male characters. 'Old' men from Tiger and Bunny, adults from Gintama, adolescents from Free, bulky from Jojo, traps, shotas, etc.
They have no limitations and you never know what they will find to their taste.
They are the real connoisseurs here, they don't reject any anime because MUH SEXUALITY. They watch everything, even yuri. They don't even have anything against women as long as one author doesn't force a coupling just because the manga is ending, look how they love to draw Boa Hancock.
>>
>>148284634
I'm interested in his character, but I agree the fujobaiting does seem a bit severe from what is known and it's obvious that's a big reason why he's popular.
