I'm so confused about that part. Victor can't do both. Regardless of the RULES that he can't, there is no way he can physically and mentally managing doing both.

Baldfat's anthem for this season is truly Stammi Vicino. They started and ended the series on it and the lyrics fit them.

I've always wondered how the be silent line fit but now I'm going to pretend it refers to their retarded habit of not communicating because it makes everything funnier.

They can't go far on "don't say anything just stay with me" so hopefully they will next level their relationship building too. I really hope we're not meant to assume this is how Baldfat plateaus because cute as they are, it's lacking in a lot of areas. Relationships aren't made up of just strong feelings for each other.

In other words, prepare for more Viktor suffering. Do you think he'll also get his knee shattered/cancer? Will Makkachin die?
>>
>>151265489

It was unresolved in the sense that they still never actually TALK ABOUT ANYTHING or explain their feelings. It was literally Victor crying, saying he's angry, then Yuuri saying lol we left it there and decided not to talk about it until the next day. And the way it was "resolved" was shit.

My only disappointment is that Victor didn't slap Yuri.
>>
The message of this show was basically that you can't have both: Love/Life and success in your career, it's either one or the other.

Yurio won because all he did was torture himself with training, always going to his physical limits, and throughout the show he only had 1 friend for 2 days after they seperated again. Being Yurio is only suffering so I suppose he earned it.
The only one who probably trained even harder and suffered more was Otabek, which basically means you can't defeat anyone without talent, no matter how hard you try. It's funny how they tried to reverse that message in the show but implied that it's false at the same time by not giving Otabek any medal.
>>
>>151265329
Yeah it was kinda spontaneous after weeks of people suggesting it. And the result actually sounded pretty decent.
>>
>>151265423
Yeah, but did when did she know that S2 was go? If it was half way through the series, we would have gotten a shitty ending. And I am one who did not want to see a wedding because it would have been too rushed. Their eight months together was dedicated to skating. They have so much more to learn about each other.

I did expect Victor's return and Fairy winning, so no surprise there.

>>151265593
Fairy is literally an example that you can have success and the L words. Stop being so dramatic. He's Victor at that age had be been saved from his loneliness issues before they really started. The contrast is obvious.
>>
>>151265568
Since Kubo said Makkachin only has about a year left, I think he really might.

As for an injury, I don't know if the show will go that far, its a bit TOO REAL. It all comes down to if the show goes full realism with Victor's aging body or not, at 28+ his body just can't do the same things anymore. Or if they ignore all that and just go with, Victor needs to pick if he wants to skate more and retire and just be with piggy.
>>
>>151265579
You're asking too much of a show where they literally skate their feelings out.

Baldfat especially Victor literally end on the have it all note. He has skating, coaching, and Piggy too. What's left to see is if he can juggle everything including his old dying dog.

It's so weird that we actually got him ageing in the show. He looks so young here.

>>151265593
I interpreted the message more as, sometimes no matter how hard you work you won't get anywhere, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, but you also shouldn't torture yourself and deny yourself love and a life and happiness. Because there will always be that cheating cunt who bribed the judges, and that's on them, not you. If you love your career and gain happiness from pursuing it, that's great, but if you're doing it for no reason and hate doing it even, then it's probably time to step back and have a break to realize what's truly important to you.

How do you think Yuuri will cope in a country where he doesn't understand anything aside from vkusno and spasibo? Viktor did rather well in the same situation, but I'm not sure whether he can handle it as well. Plus, Russian as a language is nightmare-tier if you aren't Slav, even worse than Japanese in many respects.

One thing I enjoyed about that retarded argument was that Victor didn't even try to hide his anger and sadness behind a fake smile like so many people expected him to. He's showing piggy a side that probably only Makkachin knows.

I really hope that piggy gets more development in S2 now that he has no reason to be insecure about his relationship with Victor.

>>151266037
Yeah and since there's a good chance he's living with him now it's the perfect opportunity to have Piggy really get to know Victor as a person and start teaching out to in on his own volition.

There's so much potential development for those two I'll be cockblocked if Yamamoto and Kubo don't follow through.

Even the fucking emphasis on this episodes the supposed finale, was on Baldfat instead of the medal Piggy just goes oh lel I got silver and rekindled my fighting spirit thanks to Yurio and reserves the rest of the time thinking about and crying over himself and his time with Victor.

But despite all that they never fucking convey their thoughts to each other still so I'm blueballed.

Yep. Best coaching, great facilities, training camps since he was 10, naturally gifted with a perfect body. The spoiled brat was given every advantage, so of course everyone else busting ass didn't stand a chance. Just like in real life.

When I am really mad, to the point that sort of a point, at someone I love I cry rather than yell because even if I am angry I'm generally more upset that someone I love that much has hurt me. His reaction made complete sense to me and seemed like a really realistic reaction.

Nothing was resolved 'the next day', they had to speak and hug again before Yuuri 's turn for some kind of mutual understanding to take place.

although this feels like an illegal thing to type, you can't not be honest and admit females and more slender male figures usually peak around this age, their skin and everything is still young, smooth and taut yet they have developed basically a complete adults body.

There are still people under the completely unfounded impression that Fairy's character arc in s1 was about fixing his temperament, when the show never suggested this once.

It was always about him learning to take his senior debut into his own hands instead of relying on Victor to help him make it great. He did that. He's the only one of the main three who got a proper resolution for his S1 arc and a great setup for S2.

Mid to late teens and early 20s is generally when people have the best bodies (assuming they aren't fat and are athletic). It's pretty natural to be attracted to teens' bodies so long as it's the body of more or less an adult and not a prepubescent child. Then it gets creepy.

>>
>>151267124
They don't really need to as he doesn't have plot flags and hooks dripping all over him the way Baldfat does. Some tension over his developing body, maybe.

But just look at the ending and the whole season too, this is the Baldfat show featuring Fairy after all, he doesn't need as much emphasis as the other two.
>>
>>151266285
You just reminded me of Yuuri's devastated face when Victor decided he wasn't going to kiss that silver medal.He got what he deserved after he made him cry, and he was about to cry too, by the way.
I love how they keep on getting little revenges like that all the time. And also how we never know which one is the most dominant in the couple, even physically they keep on alternatively 'take the upper hand'.
It's such a nice idea to show by a shot of their feet which one is invading the other's space every time.

I'm sick and tired of those. It's always 100% focused on the relation. Here it's the ideal balance with the second main theme: the ice skating, and its huge amounts of detailed research. They really developed all they virtually could in these 12 episodes.
I'm so relieve to know they are going to get more time to develop the story even more. A lot of these characters need a back story. They are too vivid and interesting to be dropped like that.

No one understood the episode because there are a lot of mistranslations and while it was airing someone kept saying a coach couldn't enter as a competitor. People need time to adjust to the idea that they'll have both. Also everyone is under the impression skating for Victor is a death sentence even though he said Yuuri gave his inspiration back to him.

There's other things you can complain about the episode but that is the dumbest of them all.

This, also for some reason they think that Victor hated his career or something, not realizing that now that he's found the things that his life was lacking it's completely reasonable for him to go back to skating. He's finally got worthy rivals, no wonder he feels inspired again to compete.

Also he has no reason to give up his career now he's got a fiancé who shares his goals. This series is all about living life to its fullest, we still don't know if he'll make everything work, but guess we'll have S2 for that.

I'm talking about those who said he hated skating because of that time he says it's like shackles holding him back. They kept posting screenshots to show how destroyed on the inside Victor was every time Yuuri said something Victor didn't want to hear and saying he was blackmailing him into going back. Everyone misunderstood what Victor meant by shackles and they think Yuuri telling him to skate again is the same as telling him to do something he hates. They also think Victor is only doing this to please Yuuri.

>>151268497
Victor said that because he felt lonely due to the way he approached each season, not because he hated skating. He spent the entire show being as vague as possible about his future plans to everyone: Yakov, the other skaters, the press, his fans, everyone. If he had been convinced about retiring, he would have made it official at the beginning.
>>
>>151268390
Keep telling yourself that.
>>
>>151268405
Exactly this. Though in defense of people saying that Viktor would never return to skating, many of his reactions can be read in that way. Then again, they can also be interpreted as him just lacking that spark and finding it through Yuuri. I guess that this is what makes it a plot twist.

Victor was flip flopping about his career all through the ep.

There's about a day between the medal ceremony and the gala. Since it was announced at the gala that Victor made a formal announcement of his comeback, I assume that's the truth. Besides if Victor is coaching Yuri as normal why move to Russia? They could just stay in Japan.
>>
>>151268916
12 episodes isn't that much of a time, especially when you also focus on things that aren't just romance. You also fail to take into account their personalities.

He's literally at the end with Victor when Yuuri is running.

It's because Kubo doesn't even know how to write him as a character. She keeps it open on purpose so they can have an out for either way, a second season or no second season. Victor is one of the most inconsistently written characters.

Me too, anon. Me too. I still love Baldfat, but now I also ship Fairyfat for variety. Pig is a slut anyway.

>>151267592
I don't see why it shouldn't. We all know that strictly everything in this show could be developed, from Yuuri's family to Yurio's to the other characters backgrounds, the skating itself, the love interests etc. It was too rich to be ended anywhere.
>>
>>151268958
That is the show pussying out and not having them confirm any feelings by hiding it behind skating.
>>
>>151269059
Did he ever surpass Victor's record like Fairy and Piggy did? He might be a good rival but not enough to inspire someone so used at winning eveything.
>>
>>151269073
So how the fuck were they planning it when it was originally meant to be one cour? This doesn't answer that they fail to establish them as a couple that people could root for. If you can't do that in 12 episodes, then it's a bad relationship.

Chris was Victor's ONLY rival for a long time - and while he was good he still couldn't come close to reaching Victor.

Fairy and Pig, on the other hand, collectively smashed both of Victor's records. They won't let Victor sweep the podium without a fight.

"I just want to surprise people" is code for "I never thought about this character so I can pull anything out of my ass with the excuse that he's mysterious"

She even admitted. No wonder half of the fanbase thinks Victor is evil, she can't even keep his character straight.
>>
>>151267888
I'm too jumping for joy. It was one of my dearest dreams.
Most skaters do exhibitions after they retire from the competition, I can see Victor taking a last gold medal before hiring a manager or launching his own business. He could skate in pair with Yuuri as much as he wants.
>>
Shouldn't Yuuri have won nationals at least 5 times? There were no mentions of other Japenese skaters at his level. Minami should have the previous year and a real life skater made a cameo but he should have at least some gold metals.
>>
>>151269071
Because Yakov is Victor's coach and he lives in Russia? What, you wanted Yakov and all his students to move to Japan? It's easier for Yuuri to move instead. I don't get why you're making so many mental gymnastics about something so simple. What flip flopping? The one who was flip flopping was Yuuri, not Victor. It was confirmed right after Yuuri performed that Victor was coming back when he said that about his records. After that he asked Yakov if he could coach him. The doubt was always Yuuri and never Victor. Why do you think Victor asked Yuuri to say something that would excite him? He was asking Yuuri to not retire. This isn't hard, come on.

I'm mad because I love this show and I expect better, not because I dislike the show and want it to fail.
>>
>>151269306
So? I'm not saying he's not good enough to earn Victor's admiration, I'm just saying that Victor needed to compete against people who could actually surpass him.

I like Chris, and I think it's obvious that Victor values him a lot, but he couldn't even compete against Piggy, Fairy and JJ this season, and it's clear that he's not the one inspiring him to come back.

It's like episode 10 was meant to explain that Viktor really wasn't a mysterious and unpredictable character, but just a lonely skater at the end of his career. Then episode 12 goes right back to the 'all according to keikaku' smiles and constantly flip-flopping Viktor from episode 1-3.
>>
>>151269477
You must be new to anime since most fujobait shows have characters still expressing love via metaphors as a form of fanservice. It wouldn't stop the creators from pulling a no homo like SamFlam. The YoI staff gave themselves a loophole they can use.

Yep.

10 and 11 had great setup for Victor being able to let go of his career in 12, and instead they flushed it for the cheapest possible "twist". He was on the cusp of moving from one stage in life to another in what could have been a beautiful and effective way, but no, gotta please the people who can't think past "me want pretty skate, me want Victor skate".

Can anime ever hint at an older character learning to accept retirement and a change of career without going back the last second? Or at least don't have the shows make such a big deal about this decision when they're going to reset it so they can make more money of the cash cow. It's why these "arcs" are so aborted.

Except he never intended to give up on his career. He never even said such thing.
He was powerless and searching for a solution. He chose to take a break coaching Yuuri, but it ironically gave him the incentive he needed to start on new bases.

And the most interesting in the whole story, is that him temporarily taking his distances from skating motivated all his rivals to outdo themselves. Which turned into even more incentive for him.

That's genius. Sasuga Kubo.

I've been in almost every 24/7 thread since the first episode. I created a good number of them. Even skipped uni sometimes just to watch YoI and shitpost.

I feel kind of bad for you because it sounds like you've never felt love. I agree that Victor doesn't seem like much of a real person, but what someone has to offer as a human being doesn't always equate to what makes you love them.
>>
>>151271298
They were living with many others around. Not the same as living alone
>>
>>151271371
Athletes at high levels like Victor often don't have much of a life outside of the sport. Look at Yuzu.
>>
>>151271298
Living together at the onsen, basically a hotel, and in separate rooms is a lot different than sharing a smaller apartment with one bedroom. They'll be completely alone there.
>>
>>151271371
That makes it just sound like Yuuri is still invested in having his idol here who exists to do nothing but support him. We've seen Victor's weaknesses but there's been no payoff. Again, it feels like no progress has been made since the first episode and that is a terrible way to develop a relationship over the course of a season, much less the main relationship they want fans to be invested in.

They had development. Remember how Yuuri couldn't even interact with Victor at first without playing Radiohead's Creep in his head? There's also a big difference between how he starts avoiding Victor so he can't see his weakness in episode 4 and how he cries in front of him in episode 10.

I do think episodes 11-12 reverted a lot of character growth, but I implore you to rewatch the beginning through episode 10 again. Their relationship grows and changes almost every episode.

They do, see ep 10 where they go on a whole sightseeing date together. But this is still a figure skating anime after all, the sport is the focus.

(I'm pretty sure Victor had lovers before but I don't think he truly loved any of them and always priorized his career over them)

>>151272139
That's true. I'm okay with this, relationships aren't perfect and these two are horrible with people. Yet, despite that, they try and this is what I find endearing.

Not really. There are a couple and they talk too much.

I've been in them and there's conflicts, but this is still a story and they have to be able to convey to the audience that these characters can make it. It's not entertaining to watch characters make the same fuck ups over and over, even if that is true to real life.

I just don't see that at all. They have grown as individuals and together as well. The fact that they ended where they did has given an open ending for S2 but there's no reason to think their relationship isn't going to continue to evolve. Honestly if there's a gripe I have it's that too much of the development was offscreen so when we got the drama bits it didn't always conclude satisfactorily.

Why? Until last two episodes, she did deliver. Every episode got better and better. We had most fun in 10th episode but then a second season was on the table probably, so she adjusted the story according to that.

The show's visual quality won't improve. It might even be worse than what we got for S1.
>>
Get ready for a season 2 full of shallow fujobait as Fairy becomes more of a typical tsundere, Victor exists as nothing but sparkly, Chris does nothing but make jizz jokes, Otabek will still be sidelined and turned into a generic bland character and Yuuri still won't be able to spit out feelings.
>>
>>151272730
The other anon was suggesting that it would go in a Shonen magazine like Bessatsu or Jump, when little boys just aren't into that sort of thing.
>>
>>151272885
Only for Yuuri. Viktor and Yurio are Russian after all. I'm someone who is always cold, so I'm so jealous of people who are born in northern countries that are used to that weather and don't get cold.
>>
>>151272906
I know, I want to. But now there's the worry they will play it safe to milk the cow. I mean, if they'll change the ending so weirdly to make a S2 (it helps to think of it as an extended/split season) why should I trust they will make that S2 good?
>>
>>151272974
The earliest they realistically can air is fall 2018 so that's still another year of development.

Because they probably won't get a third season. Also, Kubo knows playing safe doesn't do great things. She does what Viktor says in the end, always surprise the audience. She's not the one to play it safe.
>>
>>151272862
According to MangaUpdates, she's actually done more Shonen and Seinen than she's done Josei.

>>151273072
Because they'll be greenlit with more money and resources. The only reason it was QUALITY was budgeting restrictions and MAPPAs size, plus they were taking a huge risk on it.
>>
>>151273072
Can't blow their load too early if they know they're extending it
>>
>>151273075
If they want to keep the hype train alive, they better release a manga and OVA in between.
Then a Pachinko machine.
>>
>>151273161
No because MAPPAs schedule is full. They would have already had to be starting on it if they wanted it out fall 2017 which is completely unrealistic.

Does that apply for the ISU, though? Also does it include coaching someone you're directly competing against? There might not be a rule for it because it's such a ridiculous notion that they don't even feel the need to bring it up.
>>
>>151273339
It would be really logistically weird. Hell what if you two are in the same group. You warm up together. You go right after each other. Can you run from k/c in your skates then jump on the ice, and really expect it to go well?

Hell if one of them flubs something, would there be accusations of taking a fall?
>>
>>151273314
MAPPA is far too small for that. They were running their animators ragged as is. If they have started already it'll be on scripting location scouting and all that.
>>
>>151273314
I want them to fix the animation for the BDs before they do anything like star S2.

>>151273240
>which is completely unrealistic.
Not really, it happens all the time with other studios. It may be new for mappa but it's not unheard of in the industry.
>>
>>151273440
Unless they had already planned a second season/ second half all out before even airing and we're going to continue it if the first season/half did well.
>>
>>151273440
Yeah, they're not KyoAni. It's not like they could just immediately put a full team on season 2 as soon as they saw that it sold well. Their resources are already spread thin on multiple other ongoing projects.

>>151273525
It's incredibly unlikely. YoI was a surprise hit and a bit of a mess production wise.
>>
>>151273440
>MAPPA is far too small for that.
With the popularity and financial success, they could probably end up pulling in a lot more people. Most studios aren't 100% rigid in their staff and can outsource to talented freelancers if they have the time and budget, which I could easily see happening for YoI S2.

If S2 of Bahamut is done they could maybe use their fujo bucks to yank the crew from it. Although, once again, Bahamut's quality came not just from unlimited budget but also time.

Although if it ain't done they better not touch it. I want my Baharimax to be good.
>>
People really think season 2 is going to fix BaldFat? It's going to stay ambiguous like this in the next season too. They don't see the flaws in the relationship as /a/ does. They're not saving anything to resolve later. This was their endgame from the start.
