I tried watching yuri on ice and it's kinda okay except for the ice skating parts which is like 90% of the time. I really don't appreciate ice skating maybe because we don't have snow here. The anime mentioned something like salchow spin or something like that and all I can think about is that, is it some kind of soup? I'm hopeless... ಥ_ಥ

    You don't need to know figure skating to appreciate it. It's one part about the technical difficulty of the tricks and on the other part performance/interpretation <-- just enjoy them spinning and jumping, doing choreographed movements with their bodies, don't bother with the names.

    uhhh well it IS a skating anime, kinda odd how ur complaining about how much they skate,, u dont rlly need to understand the names of all the techniques, theye mainly just for commentaries and scores and signature moves if the skater has one. also u dont need snow to do ice skating.......

    Well it IS a skating anime, so what the hell did you expect?

    you do realize it's a SPORTS anime about ICE SKATING, right? or did you not notice that?

    Yes, yes. That's why I said I tried. And I'm not even complaining about the ice skating parts. I just said that it's not for me cause I freaking don't appreciate ice skating. I can see people just spinning for no reason at all. Sorry ice skating fans. Also, boys skating doesnt bode well with me. And this reply is for you mostly, Arianna and Eldalote.

    yo idc about it either. but you can't just call something this brilliant just "ok". like you just can't. and they're not doing spins for no reason. it's very aesthetically pleasing and take a ton of time and practice to accomplish, since it's a SPORT. and what's wrong with boys skating? sexist much?

    Well, if I wanna watch something aesthetically pleasing, I'd rather watch gymnastics. And sorry, but that anime is not brilliant in my opinion. I'm not sexist. It just doesn't look good when boys do ice skating..also based on my opinion. Maybe it's the way they move..

    are you a straight female? (i just can't grasp that the things you're saying could possibly come out of a straight female.)

    JulietClaire October 16, 2016 5:14 pm

    Nope. I'm a fish actually. Well, yes. I am female and so far I haven't felt like a lesbian. Do watching men in tights and acting like girls the standard of a straight female? I don't know where you live but ice skating guys aren't popular here.
