Will there ever be a more perfect episode than episode 10?

Will there ever be a more perfect episode than episode 10?

Perhaps the slightest bit unhappy that Victor's daki will have Makkachin in it as well

It was so good in so many ways, when was the last time we saw such a solid plot twist in anime? A total surprise, completely unpredictable, yet believable, makes perfect sense, and re-contextualizes everything we've seen in the funniest, most heartwarming way.

Is there any chance for S2 to have 24 episodes instead of 12? Need more of that comfy SOL.

I thought the first three episodes were perfect too desu

This. I remember I remember just sitting and staring at the screen minutes after the show ended, recalling various scenes that were suddenly cast into a totally different light and alternating between laughing like crazy/feeling sad for Viktor. I have never experienced this before and I'm not sure if I ever will.

I kind of pity those who didn't watch it as it aired since I imagine that escaping spoilers now is pretty much impossible.

Did they ever explore homosexuality as anything more than a completely normalized non-issue to reel in Fujoshi and homosexuals?

hopfully no

not to hijack the thread but is everyone who enjoyed this show a fag? I think part of the reason I liked it so much was my homosexuality. Just curious if the enjoyment is different for non fags

No. Is that a problem? Not every work aspires or needs to be a social study.

I think the real question here is how many straight male who came for the lulz and hate intelligently actually came to like the show unironically?

>you can't write a story about homos without the story being all about how homo they are and how hard it makes their live
Fuck off, there is so much of that angst shit already out there. There can be at least one story in which the gays are happy and treated like normal, anime is mostly escapism.

It makes feel sad every time I see Makkachin. As an owner having senior pets.

It's a comfy sports anime, not the place for devoting episodes to social justice.

It was a cute romance based on surprising the audience on how deep it really was.
Many straights found it cute too.

I'm gay but I have 3 straight friends who watched and liked it.

user, considering how widely popular this anime is, I think it's safe to say that people of all sexualities enjoyed it. It's statistically impossible for all of fans to be fags.

As a gay man it just feels incredibly unrealistic.

Everyone seems to think his hand is the the back of his head, but it probably is on his forehead.

Welcome to anime, enjoy your stay.

Victor could never exist in real life either, what's your point? It's a show.

Sorry you can't enjoy cute and fun things, clearly this medium is not for you. Go read serious novels about social issues or a newspaper if you want realism.

It's a good thing that end-goal of all fiction isn't to be as realistic as possible, then.

Probably. This show is the ecchi for fujos. It had no value and selling point other then "they are gay". Noone would care about it if the characters were straight. Everyone who says otherwise are just hypocrites.

a bullet in your brain would indeed be more perfect

Just watch regular shitty BL with "b-but we are both men" or mainstream anime with homos, they irrelevant, die or suffer enough.
Westernshit is perfect for you because most homos are just used for suffering porn and award baiting.

It's a strong 5/10 if you're not a fudge packer

Kubo already made it clear, it's a Utopia.

You can always go read angsty fanfics about how baldfat gets kicked out from skating and getting their faces bashed in if you're not comfortable with happy homo love.
Just let people have this one thing, jesus christ.

You're right about the fact that people would care less if they were straight since the romance makes up for a huge part of the show and is intertvined in the story. It wouldn't be the same anime without it.

Remove cock from ass and watch more than 7 anime.

beware the bait

I'm confused. What are you saying is unrealistic?

Well, at least there's countless others forms of media where you can watch homosexuals suffer because actually normatizing is more difficult.

as a gay man, who gives a shit? i doubt you're even a faggot anyways, just a shitposter.

Anyone who expects this is bound are kind of missing the the point. There have already been plenty which is really an understatement of works before depicting homosexual relationship that tackled the issues they wanted to see in YoI. Kubo doesn't want that. Besides, it's supposed to be a sports anime in the first place. The romance between the two main characters who just happened to be men just kind of got elaborated but not to that point that the show needs to particularly put attention to their relationship instead of the MC's skating career.

Don't bother, people who repeat the tired 'it's only popular because it's gay' meme don't understand that a romantic subplot is SUPPOSED to be a draw, and actively ignore our constant praise of the writing and direction outside of the fanservice. They also convenient forget how often BL adaptions flop because clearly gay couples aren't enough.

That they didn't get beaten up in Russia or that Yuuri didn't spend every episode monologuing about how they're both men, I presume.

Because the gays are main characters yet they're not made fun of for simply liking the dick or die.

>monologuing about how they're both men, I presume.
They could always read BL if they want that

>They also convenient forget how often BL adaptions flop because clearly gay couples aren't enough.
That's a false analogy. YOI still only did well because it had homoshit. It had a normalfag hook in the ice skating which was elevated to fever hype by the gay aspects. It still would have failed without it.

I didn't know you can't write about something that has happy and positive environment for the MC now.

they can watch homo movies from the 80s if they want angst porn.

Dunno, dozens of figure skaters fans as well professionals seemed to like it. And there are also sports anime fans, although the opinions are really polarized, I've seen people gushing about yoi or absolutely hating it.

Because it wouldn't even been the same show without it, are you retarded or baiting? I don't even know at this point.

How do you know? If the characters weren't gay, then clearly the entire narrative would have been structured differently. It wouldn't be the same as it is now except with Baldfat cropped out of the picture, it would have to be completely revamped since the themes of love run very deep.

We don't know how straight version of YoI would have looked like.

You can't write something positive if the MC has a romantic interest of the same sex, actually.

>are you retarded or baiting? I don't even know at this point.
both

Reminder.

Do people ever question how realistic lesbian anime shit is? Or do people generally ignore it because muh cute harmless lesbians.

Yes, no fucking shit that it wouldn't be successful if you took out the majority of the characterization, relationship development and plot. The false logic here is you thinking that means it's bad, even though I'm sure you wouldn't criticize a het series for being popular due to a well done romance.

Victor is a one man show.

I don't see what isn't clear. You're saying the inclusion of BL isn't enough to make a show popular and yet that's all that made YOI anything other than another random sports show that no one watches or talks about. It could have been literally the exact same thing but with a hetero relationship and would have gotten one tenth the attention. If you're honestly saying that the simple fact that the relationship is a gay one is what "makes" the show then you're literally admitting how vapid it is yourself.

Actually, dykes who watch anime get happy when the main girls are happy and together or at least more than male homos.

>vapid
so it is you

Are you retarded? Make one of them a girl and do the exact same thing. Not hard. Having a dick doesn't completely preclude the show from having any of the shit you're talking about, and if you think it does you're just reinforcing how insipid the whole thing is.

>people thinking the gay is unrealistic but doesn't bat an eye that someone as perfect as vitya exists

As a gay man, fuck off.

>It could have been literally the exact same thing but with a hetero relationship and would have gotten one tenth the attention.
It couldn't have been the exact same thing as het since, surprise, men and women compete separately. The entire plot would have fallen apart.

I want the normalfags to leave the thread

They're happy to get anything at all, though I hear a lot of them don't like Sakura Trick.

>I'm a normalfag because I dont slam dicks into my rectum
nice one

Impossible.

Never, 10 was amazing.

I'm not even disagreeing with you, it's pretty obvious that the fact that the relationship is a happy homo gay one is something that drew in a lot of people. How is that a bad thing?

Sakura Trick is good if you want comfy gays, but there's no plot and the characters are paper thin.

There's literally nothing wrong with it. I just disagree with that user saying BL isn't enough in the right circumstances.

>If you're honestly saying that the simple fact that the relationship is a gay one is what "makes" the show

You've got some shit reading comprehension user

I knew yesterdays comfy thread was too good to be true, please come back and bless us Georgi.

Meme magic is dead and retards are back

>we're talking specifically about BL
>Because it wouldn't even been the same show without it
>that's not what I meant though

CR AOTY awards is coming, I hope Reddit:Zero wins so they can fuck off.

>It could have been literally the exact same thing but with a hetero relationship
It couldn't have. Men's singles and Women's singles are different disciplines entirely within skating. Victor and Yuuri would never have competed together at a GPF. Literally the first episode could not have happened if one of them was female.

meme mahou is dead. won't come back till georgi makes an appearence in s2.

If it was exactly the same and het it would still be an extremely good series, so why are you changing your argument from >it had no value and selling point
to making it all about how much attention it gets?

Either criticize the writing itself properly, with actual arguments, or stop wasting time with this bait.

Implying the show couldn't just make up some contrived shit to make it happen.

>yfw Georgi retires and never comes back

What precedent do you base that on? Where in the show do you see any indicator that they would've somehow fudged the rules enough to let men and women compete together under the singles discipline?

b-but russian skater shenanigans

>But my realism!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

Can't argue with dubs, user. Georgi will move to Bahamas for his retirement or something.

hopefully someone rigs it so it can win.

I'm not that user, but quality has literally nothing to do with attention. The show is a strong 6/10 sports anime but with gay people presented in a digestible way that makes normalfags want to watch it. That's why it blew up. You're being disingenous if you actually think otherwise.

>FEMC is releaved to be a huge inside drunk slut who poledances half naked and humps her romantic interest.
1k sales from otakus.

It's what i'm looking forwards the most to.

Meme mahou truly has forsaken us

Yes he was, ended watching for Yurio near the end though.

Make Viktor Viktoria, or Yuri a girl and its exactly the same. Just because their gender is not the same surely Yuri can idolize Viktor. Same with Viktor, just because yuri is a girl he could decide to coach her.

>everything is the same expect it's lesbian homo love

I would watch it.

That's not what I was saying at all, I merely said that it couldn't have been het. For the record, I'd watch the hell out of yuri version of YoI, so you're barking up the wrong tree.

Everyone is expecting fun shenanigans in Russia but beside the Russians that got focused on they're also other skaters like the women who told Viktor to break up with Yuuri in the 6th episode.

>lesbian
Read it again please

I kind of wish they would make another series set in the same universe but about the female skaters.

MORE MILA.

That actually works too

I would definitely watch it for those pretty and cute female skating costumes.

Double dubs confirm BaldFat separation

I'm looking forward to seeing them as well. They will be constantly getting BTFO and/or triggered by Baldfat being touchy all the time and it will be glorious.
