The angles and perspectives used in the animation are visually stunning. The rotoscoped animation captures every motion and subtle body movement in each rendition. Competitions and performances take up the show’s main run time.Īll of the routines in the show were choreographed and performed by professional skater and choreographer Kenji Miyamoto. Yuri on Ice is a sports anime all about the world of professional figure skating. Halfway through watching the first episode when Yuri and Victor perform their routines to the aria “Stay Close to Me”, I became a figure skating fan. So I went into Yuri on Ice with an open mind thinking eventually it might be able to capture some of that same magic. My knowledge of professional competition extended as far as the occasional skating routine I’ve caught on television and having seen the movie Blades of Glory.īut anime has a knack for being able to get me interested in any type of competitive sport or activity, whether it be a boxing match or a competitive card swiping game. I’ve been ice skating just enough times as a kid to know it isn’t as easy as it looks and that rental skates are designed to be as uncomfortable and blister-inducing as possible. I barely knew anything about figure skating either. And three exclamation points in any show title is just a few too many. The title misled me as to what the genre of the show would be.
When I first read about Yuri!!! on Ice I dismissed it.
