This. This is why YOI deserves all the love it gets. It just brought figure skating world and anime together. Professionals and casual fans love the show all the same. The love these two community shared while enjoying the show is an achievement worth more than any awards it can get.

How could it bring figure skating and anime together when it divided the anime community?

@purintaufufa 7 жыл бұрын

Matthew Shannon Well, anime fans, specifically haters themselves will decide that. If you hate a certain show, and spread the hate, then you are the reason the anime community is dividing, not the show itself.

@pauljohnson3925 7 жыл бұрын

Sapphire Maiden Yuri on Ice has its appeal but is far from perfect, hence the differing opinions amongst casuals and critics. There will always be haters, but they are not the only reason.

weaboochan99999999999999 weaboochan99999999999999 By other figure skating anime, I will assume you're talking about Ginban Kaleidoscope, but correct me if I'm wrong. YOI has mainly three upper hand regarding this; timing, target audience and promotion. YOI comes out when Japan is really into figure skating, because of Yuzuru Hanyu's Sochi Olympics gold medal, unlike Ginban Kaleidoscope which was aired back in mid-2000s when enthusiasm regarding figure skating in general was relatively lower. YOI was catered towards mainly three groups of viewers, namely figure skating fans, people who support healthy depiction of LGBTQ+ relationship in anime and anime fans in general. YOI was promoted by a lot of world class figure skaters through social medias like Twitter, hence giving the show more exposure.

Yay Johnny! He skates at my little sister's rink and performs in the showcase fundraiser there every year (the rink's a nonprofit). He is really amazing to watch perform live and he is a really sincere and kind person. My sister is on a synchro team and they also always perform in the showcase because they compete nationally (which is crazy because she's like 10) but at the end of the showcase every year he always makes sure to take pictures with all of them and sign their skates and he'll just talk with them. I've seen him almost laying down on the ice to sign skates one after another.
