Anything about that manga that came with the BD release?

No they should save the improved gay for season 2 unless it's to rewrite episode 12. Until then, fix the shitty skating for the BDs please

That would be amazing. It'll most likely be the other skaters for the covers.

There were supposed to be more Otabek/Yurio scenes in the last episodes that were cut, I really hope that we get to see them at least as a flashback in season two.

the first ep's apartment was similar to a spread on a magazine about an apartment built in Russia. SO people said that the team has been plagiarising. Which is true, in a way, because the design was so similar.

They changed it for the BD so that they aren't being accused of plagiarism anymore.

>Kubo-sensei said in the audio commentary of the DVD that Stay Close to Me isn’t only a love song. it’s a song about rising up from solitudeit’s about a man who has lost someone important to him and heard someone crying in the distance. he didn’t know who that person was, but could empathize and stood up from the solitude so they could move on together.

Why was Victor such a lonely faggot?

>>
>>151477548
Did people think this? I think that Viktor speaks some Japanese because sometimes Suwabe pronounces words in a really off way and they're basic words like konnichiwa, but that implies that his Japanese is tourist-tier.

>>151477649
Back in episode 5, Piggy confessed his theme was Ai and all Victor said was how he wanted to burn his tie, people knew he didn't understand any of Yuuri's speech. But some morons insisted Victor knew Japanese because he could interact with rural locals. Apparently him being famous means he has to know Japanese.
>>
I am starting to doubt that Yuuri and Victor are in love. I started to doubt after I saw some videos with Yuzuru and Javier. Their interactions are so intimate, even more than Victor and Yuri's (except for the supposed kiss), but they are just friends. So what if simply in figure skating friends are more open than usual in displaying their affection? I'm not trolling.
>>
>>151477652
If anything, wouldn't they force him to come back to skating? He's probably costing Russia a season's worth of medals.
>>
>>151477692
How can you be sure Yuzuru and Javier are JUST friends?
>>
>>151477696
Maybe this means they'll take offence to Victor trying to coach Yuuri and be competitive at the same time.
>>
>>151477692
Then don't think they are in love. Don't come to goddamn internet forums for reassurance that your ship likes each other.
>>
>>151477689
That's blatantly wrong, though, you can see that when locals talk to him, he mostly just smiles or says something like: "Hi!" because he clearly doesn't understand. I guess some people's retardation knows no bounds.

Kubo also said that she originally wanted to show the bonds between athletes, not in a romantic way but in a way that was still important, but that the characters took on a life of their own.
And then they exchanged actual wedding bands.

It's a mannerism of American dubs. Really cancerous, to be frank.
>>
>>151478525
A whole bunch of their lines are actually pretty good (I love that "Well, it worked" in episode 7). If it weren't for the odd accents/unsuitable voices, I really wouldn't mind watching the dub.
>>
>>151478650
I know you were praising the translation. Since you were speaking about something related to the English version, I just expressed my opinion about the voices. It's curious you find Yuuri too much young. He seems like more than 30 years old to me.

The difference is that Javier has a fiance which is not Victor or Yuuri's case. And Javier said that outside of the rink he and Yuzuru don't see each other much and have completely different lives. This is probably the most retarded choice for 3D comparison.

No discrimination in their world. Maybe it's because he's so flighty, does whatever he wants.

Or the strain happened when he fucked off to Japan and they got butthurt like everyone else.

This seems more likely to me, the fact that he's so flighty is a part of his reputation, everyone loves him for it. They may not like that, either, but they probably understand. The Japan thing was probably over the line.

There's an interview Suwabe goes on about how the sound director told him that Yuuri to Victor is some kind of tool or project he's using for his own sake, basically how they got the mysterious feel of Victor in early episodes. It's really cold. It's in lookiamnotcreative page.

It's obvious they copied straight from the frames too much instead of studying the rythm of his movements. Not on every sequences, but most of them. The guys who did stay close to me and Yuri on Ice (I heard it was the same guy but I'm not sure) obviously did a much better job. I see no reason why Eros couldn't get the same treatment.

Eros NEEDS to be redone otherwise I woukd be extremely disappointed. You can tell it's the very first skating program they animated just looking at how boring and flobby it is and it doesn't deserve it. It's the main character dance and it's the one we see more often.

Kek. When I watched one episode with my friend, the first thing she told me was that: "Viktor looks like a girl." I was a bit confused by that because he didn't have long hair in that episode, so she elaborated that "he moves like a girl, it's really obvious."

I felt exactly the same as your friend, the sequence that made me think that is the one at the beginning of stay close to me, the close up when he closes his eyes with a sad expression then turns around. For me that character was just a girl the black haired guy tried to imitate, it just never occured to me that white haired lesbian could be a guy.
I was pleasantly surprised when the first episode started though.

>Kubo-sensei said in the audio commentary of the DVD that Stay Close to Me isn’t only a love song. it’s a song about rising up from solitudeit’s about a man who has lost someone important to him

"Someone" or "something"? I'd like to hear the original commentary cause this makes it sound like Victor had someone he loved before Piggy.

Her whole commentary at this point sounds a bit no homo desu desu

What do you think Yurio's feelings towards Victor are? Part of me believes he dislikes Victor by how aggressive his attitude towards Victor is. Thoughts?

He acted like he dislikes Yuuri during almost the whole show and yet he actually likes him. I guess he likes Victor and admires him but he waas disappointed in him because he fucked off to Japan before honoring his promise and because he made everyone think he retired for good.

>>151481747

"I hear a crying in the distance, have you been abandoned as well?"

I'm under the impression that Victor's previous lovers were a trainwreck. His sad face when talking of his first one stopped looking like a jike after episode 10.

Victor is in a position were he could have been easily used as fame booster or for sex.
>>
>>151481727
Did you forget his two L's monologue, anon? And never being in love (romantically) with someone for that long isn't that hard to believe especially when you remember he dedicated his life to just skating and that he's also an autist.
>>
>>151481611
How is it no homo? She's just saying the song is more than just a love song. Victor was looking for more than just a boyfriend, but someone who brought him Life & Love. It's romantic, but its more than just romance.
>>
>>151481727
Wasn't it on episode 2 that Victor mentioned something about his previous lover?
>>
>>151481804
I love that all the edits bring out the more delicate and rounder side of Viktor's features. It's like they're peeling away the more angular, playboy surface of his character to reveal the pure maiden within.

Technically he said that Yuuri showed him love, like it was the first time, he could have had bad relationships in the past.

That's the impression I got, too. He's no virgin, but he's never been made love to.
>>
>>151481910
He probably just always put his carreer first. Most likely his putting Yuuri first despite coming back to competitive skating will fuel the drama of S2. Yuuri will notice this at some point and get angry.
>>
>>151481833
His face still looked like a joke with how it was animated

>>151481948
I don't doubt he didn't have relationships or flings but you can have those easily without love ever being a part of it
>>
>>151478507
>"Who am I dancing for? I know"
>>
>>151482021
Of course it looked like a joke, they wanted to make the reveal shocking, so they made many things about him seem like a joke until ep 10. Also don't forget that we see those things from Yuuri's perspective, he didn't believe that Viktor - the hottest bachelor in the world - could seriously be sad about such stuff.
>>
>>151481948
>>151482021

There's also the chance that if those relationships were indeed bad and he was abandoned/betrayed, he likely won't consider them real love.
>>
>>151482021
So many things Victor did looked like a joke until ep 10, to be fair.

Yuuri is an unreliable narrator, when they met, he was extremely confused about him and always wondering why he was acting the way he was.

I still laugh at the fact that Kubo and Sayo originally planned for this show to just be about bonds between the skaters, but then the characters got too gay. Can you imagine the thought process?

Not trying to be that guy who knew better than anyone else, but I never thought it would flop. I was looking forward to YoI a lot more than swordsluts. I don't know, I just knew I would like it.

Me neither. but I was so proud of him and it seemed so cathartic for him in the last episode. After his FS, his face literally goes from exhaustion to relief? and then he just breaks down.

That's the main reason why his fashion sense is bad. You're not supposed to wear so much leopard print, much less coordinate them or coordinate your whole outfit around it or be a walking leopard themed attraction. One leopard print clothe per outfit is the maximum you should allow yourself.
Yurio basically dresses like a cougar.

"Even though Yurio is Russian, his fashion style is like a Japanese delinquent (Yanki). Or like a woman from the Kansai area. His favorite pattern is leopard print, and he likes tigers (he owns a cat). He makes his fans uneasy with his total devotion to his aesthetic that goes as far as his shoes, clothes, case for his blade covers, suitcase, and face masks. However, a fervent group of his fans, Yuri's Angels, consider him to be a leader in fashion."

The fact that he coordiantes his outfits around it is what makes it so adorable. and he actually does make it work most of the time. The only reason he looks like a cougar at times is because of his long hair which is beautiful by the way.

Yeah all fun and games until the attacker throws a skate at Victor's head, he's blinded by his own blood and Yuuri has to get them out of thay situation carrying Victor through dark alleys trying to lose sight of the stalker while he cheerfully jogs chasing them both. It's very late, very dark because they practice at night as they make the rink feel too crowded during the day.

Yuuri decides he can't keep running with Victor's weight drapped over him, so he decides to hide Victor behind garbage bags and face the attacker.

Will they survive the encounter? Use your imagination.

Sure it's adorable, but far from fashionable.
Your pic is a bad example though, it's actually one of his more passable outfits. Together with the one he wore while he was kicking Viktor.
He'd be fine if the bomber jacket was the only leopard printed clothe he wore, but he just can't seem to wear these without his printed sneakers and the tiger head sweater. Add the leopard printed backpack/luggage to this mess, and the fashionistas crossing his path would probably kill themselves.

There is only one time I can think of where he was third-wheel and that was the onsen picture. It's like you people think that someone hell anyone being in a picture with BaldFat is just automatically third-wheel. I agree I would like Fairy to have his own art as well, but it's not surprising he's with the other 2 so much as they are the 3 main characters.

The onsen and the taxi picture he's clearly upset
>>
>>151484739
I'm a Fairyfag and the only time I can think of where he is third-wheel is the onsen picture. It seems more like people who can't take off their shipping goggles think that anytime a couple is in the same picture with someone else it's third-wheel.

>>151484725
When it comes to the persona of a look, technically bad fashion can be excused. It might look like trash on someone else, but it looks adorable on him because of the personality it projects. What works for some people will not work for others. I do still agree that sometimes he goes overboard with the leopard print.

It doesn't matter whether characters have a bad or good sense of fashion. Just like in real life, many currents of fashion coexist with plain bad taste. What matters is for this sense of fashion to be consistent with their personality. And in Yurio's case the leopard print is just spot on. It fits a fierce and agressive character to a T. Just like Yuuri's plain choice of clothes and Viktor's expensive fashionable clothes respectively suit them.
>>
>>151485011
I meanr in terms of screentime and importance to the plot vs promos, which aren't necessarily accurate to the show. Even Kubo admits the story had to depend on Baldfat.

As for your assessment, it's an opinion and one I disagree with. Pig had a lot going on, more than him. Victor had things going on too but it was a mess in the end, it his presence was more integral.

>She also said that Yurio was more of a tragic character and if he was the main character then the anime would become a sad story and they wanted to prevent that. They preferred to make it into a story overflowing with love. They chose not to speak about Yurio’s family in the anime in order not to give him a handicap and instead showed his relationships with many people who would support and help him in the future.

Aw man, Tragedy on Ice might've been cool. Then again, I don't like seeing Fairy suffer. That's kind of retarded that they avoided talking about his family just because they didn't want it to bring down the mood and focus on his future. I understand that, but you could atleast tell us what the deal is with them.
>>
>>151485272
Honestly, I think it was handled perfectly because we got just enough info to infer that he probably had a really bad family situation, without them having to spend lots of time on it. I wish they could've used their time this wisely with some of the other skaters...

She said that BaldFat moved the story along better, which I can see, but that doesn't mean Fairy wasn't a main.

Pig confidence issues/retirement/Victor wasn't nearly as much as what Fairy had going on. He was dealing with his feelings for Yuuri, the future of his career with the impending growth spurt issue, his bonds with people in general, and his senior debut/wanting to get gold not to mention the hand-waved situation with his Dedushka and his parents and the issue with Victor and realizing he didn't need him.

Victor was just MC's Fairy Godmother that he also fucks.

She said that Fairy was the first character she created but that Yuuri would work better as an MC because he was more open to making bonds with people and she didn't want it to be a sad story.

She said that BaldFat progressed the narrative better, but nowhere does she say Fairy is not a main. She even says she wanted to show more scenes with him and Otabek, but cut it for time.

Obviously BaldFat is the main focus, she's not saying anything people didn't already know with that.

They didn't really infer anything with his parents besides the Mom comment that could mean anything. Even his seiyuu was curious. They don't need to spend lots of time on it just to tell us what is going on with his parents. It's kind of dumb to make a character with a tragic story and then make the excuse that you didn't want it to be tragic so you just completely ignore it.

Pig confidence issues encompassed a lot of things including the ones you listed for Fairy, he also had to deal with bonds to others, consider his own physical limitations, dealing with wanting gold/his career, etc. Victor's issues are more hidden because he's kept mysterious and 12 muddied the waters a lot but he has them too.

Pig's confidence are one thing, they encompass a few things sure but it all boils down to that in the end. Fairy had more separate things going on all at once.

Victor was horribly written (what little was written) and I daresay a fucking plot device for the MC's journey.

Can't say it's less when that one issue includes more than several things. You could say Fairy's shit all boils down to one grand theme like finding his place, too. Pig has a lot going on, all of them being influenced by anxiety doesn't make them less.

Whatever you think of it Bald has things going on separate from Pig so if he's just a plot device despite that so is Fairy.

It was another person who always wanted to beat Victor. Someone who couldn't stand the fact that because of Yuuri, they'd never have another chance to try.
Someone who didn't even compete this year because it means nothing to win if it isn't Victor.

I find it dumb that she says Fairy couldn't move the story along when his story moved along fine and she simply just didn't want it to be as sad.

I do agree that Yuuri is more of a typical Japanese MC character though. Fairy's weaknesses are more hidden while Yuuri's weaknesses are easy to see at first glance. Fairy does seem like he fits the typical anime mold of not main character that's more interesting and tragic than the MC so her decision making doesn't surprise me.
>>
>>151476076

>>151486468
More like cries because his life feels empty by comparison, similarly to what I do while watching YoI.
>>
>>151486440
What does that even mean? Well I guess it makes sense when you think that she wanted the story to be about love and rainbows and happy futures and not so sad and even hand-waved his backstory to focus on his bright future. It would have been way more interesting though. It's a shame.
>>
>>151486293
It is when it's a big overarching issue with more to its facets than someone else's different issues put together. That's why Pig can't just recover easily, he has to deal with it on several fronts.

Victor's issues are more visibly linked to Piggy because he is too and they feed off of each other. But they're still his, and he has to deal with them separate from the Piggy.

All of them have issues. Fairy's are simpler and have been solved except for the broth spurt.

Except it isn't more than Fairy's over-arching issues plus the things he has to deal with because of each over-arching issue. We haven't seen Victor dealing with anything separate from the Pig, everything is influenced by him.

Fairy's issues being solved doesn't mean they are simpler, just that he actually had proper resolution of his character arc with those things which is in no way a bad thing and just proves how much better and coherently written he was than the other two despite the lack of screentimee.

I bet a bunch of other fujoshi would have loved the more or less forced drama this could have resulted in anyway. I like how yoi is comfy and happy, but I wouldn't have minded something like Victor getting injured. Yurio is incredibly uninteresting and obnoxious though, thank god he's not the MC.

Sure it is, it's basically influencing every facet of his life. That's a lot more. That's also why it can't be solved so easily, because he has to grow on all those aspects, on top of the messy writing in 12 which isn't the topic at hand. Victor has issues of his own and those tied to Yuri which doesn't diminish them.

I thought the story focused on skating just fine, and I'm saying this as someone who watched the anime mostly because of the sports side of the story. I always felt that Yurio felt out of place in the story, and not in a good way even though he had potential, but maybe he'll be more interesting in the second season. For all we know if the series had 24 episodes to begin with Yurio would have felt more like an MC and Yuuri's and Victor's story wouldn't have changed at all.

the story is still interesting without stupid tragic emo-ness you want so badly

>>151487359
maybe you should calm down anon, i didn't say any of that

It's still not more than every one of Fairy's issues that are also influencing his life and career. Don't get mad at me for the fact the writers couldn't write a proper resolution for your favorite's season one character arc. Tell me about these Victor issues that were presented in the story that don't revolve around Yuuri in the end. I'm curious.

I know he's best boy, but jesus, literally comparing him to literal Jesus? It's like "Christ our lord and saviour BTFO, look at this hot gay Russian with his nips out"
Viktor will save muh current year +1

I dunno man another angry teen with sad past bildungsroman thing? I'd rather have unreliable narrator who's a surprise semen demon, and one of the few accurate animu depictions of anxiety. It actually surprised me how matter of fact they were about that, without any dramu to cause it.

Talking to a plebian I see.

>>151487442
This. As much as I like Fairy, it would have been pretty generic.
>>
>>151487404
Only OST, though I have all songs alredy. It's just too good! Best anime ost since... I dunno, Utena, maybe.

I'm waiting for more high-quality merch to come out, not just the shit MAPPA rushed out once the show became a runaway hit. Holding out hope that some of the boys other than Pig and Bald get nendoroids.
>>
>>151487478
Fairy is better off as a main side character, besides his personality is annoying as shit, I wouldnt be able to watch a show with his current attitude.
>>
>>151487364
The skating focus was laughable for atleast half of the show. If Fairy felt out of place, it's probably because he had actual shit going on outside of the MC's story unlike Victor who's story was ingrained with his.

I don't know how you can say he felt out of place when Fairy's story is more fagskate related than anyone's paired with his personal/emotional aspects.

I guess he would feel out of place though when the main focus of the story was BaldFat romance instead of skating.

>>151487527
you perceive him as annoying because you're seeing him from an outsider's perspective.
If Yurio was main, you'll see things from his POV and you'll rationalize things differently.
>>
>>151484961
>Fairy is the Mirage of Yuri on Ice

Kek.

BaldFat and HayaFre best OTPs
>>
>>151487442
Yuuri was a somewhat realistic depiction of anxiety but they forget that it's a fictional story so it requires thought to his journey and as a result it's all over the place with no resolution. The only for sure thing about his anxiety is that you don't know when it is and isn't going to fuck with him. He just fucks up whenever the writers feel like it and no resolution.
>>
>>151487609
That's a baseless assumption, there are many protagonists with personalities similar to Fairy's and there are people who still don't like them. Deal with it, not everyone is gonna like your fave.
>>
>>151487259
I'm not even assblasted or anything, just kinda disappointed that Yurio is boring instead of being as interesting as most of the other characters.

>>151487548
He felt out of place because he felt like a generic bratty rival from a shonen manga whose life revolves around skating stuck in the middle of a josei anime in which the characters have a lot more going on than skating.
>The skating focus was laughable for atleast half of the show.
I'm still waiting for the BDs to be released so I can watch the skating scenes with better animation.
>>
>>151487478
It really depends on how it was going to be written. He's not an Eren Jaeger ffs and his struggles in a modern/real world would have been more interesting to watch than "Angry Teen #1096 who lost his family in an Apocalyptic World".
>>
>>151487478
Oh and I guess typical Nip beta MC who finds strength with the power of love isn't generic? Mmkway, whatever you say.
>>
>>151487404
I got the calender, socks and two of the Croquis sketchbooks for March.
>>
>>151487663
I don't care if you like him or not, but the perspective would be different and that would change perception.
That's basic writing.
>>
>>151487687
>Fairy
>generic bratty rival
>citing josei anime as a positive source

My. Fucking. Sides.
>>
>>151487736
I didn't say it's a positive source, just that it didn't mix well.
>>
>>151487697

Lmao, okay, that's how I know you're willfully blind.

Good thing you retards are in the minority.

I'm sorry anon, I can't help you with your shit taste
>>
>>151487687
Even if the basics of his character are pretty generic I feel like he has a lot of charming qualities/things about him that make him stood out for me from the rest of yoi cast.
>>
>>151487736
Why are you even interested in yoi if hate the main story so much?
>>
>>151487404
The yutopia sake cup in Dec
Makkachin tissue cover and the hasami mugs in Jan
That hasestsu ice castle tote bag, Feb I think?
Going to pick up Victor tags at the recycle shops in tokyo in feb, will it hurt to pay 2000y yes, but I'd rather pay more than be strapped with a bunch of characters I don't want.

Pls BoJ keep yen at 115-118

>>

>shit literally nobody said
>>
>>151487810
What's so interesting about him then? I'm curious, not going to judge you.
>>
>>151487812
because I can be? Literally everything about the story that isn't BaldFat is great.
>>
>>151487409
Chillax I ain't mad or anything desu, it's just beside the point since. I'm just saying, it's still got more aspects to it as you can see from the show which shows it simpler for Fairy. As for Victor, he does be problems with Yakov and Fairt too.
>>
>>151487841
You're free to stop getting upset about other people's opinions on made up characters at any time anon

nothing hes a typical tsundere

>>151486602
That's how I interpreted it even before the commentary. I get the impression they fucked up translating mono and koto again by making it "someone" since this wouldn't be the first time this fandom hasn't gotten that right. I'll just have to wait to hear a rip of Kubo.
>>
>>151487852
The fact that he's not a generic rival despite what retards like you who clearly didn't pay attention to him past episode one think.

>>151487872
How is it simpler for Fairy? It's not a bad thing that he's more coherently written and that doesn't make it simpler just easier to understand. Lrn2 basic writing.
>>
>>151487936
Cute. I want to be Chris.
>>
>>151487870
Most of the plot revolves around Baldfat.
>>
>>151487926
But he is. The reveal in the last episode about how he admires Yuuri since episode 1 made it even worse, because he went from the generic rival who thinks everyone is his enemy to generic rival who respects his rivals but takes sports too seriously but it felt stupid instead of a clever twist.
