Can i ask how were any of you confused on what was going on in a sports anime? And how was their romance not natural every episode they just got closer the normal way until I think episode what 10? Where we realize Victor had already liked Yuri for a LOOONG while and vise versa which makes more sense to why he came to Japan in the first place. Their romance just wasn’t dramatic or extra it was just..casual and normal.
No I cared about the characters in general, because that’s what specifically draws me to enjoy a show. I liked in this 12 episode anime that they at least made me feel for all the characters to same degree even if I didn’t really LIKE them I could understand them wanting to be better and take risk. I specifically liked Yuri because I related to the idiot. I also enjoy a cute adult romance tho
While this isn’t a sports anime, Apothecary diaries is another show that I loved mainly for the characters and it really helped me find things I wouldn’t otherwise be interested in like poison, medical stuff, historical themes and politics, and them throwing in random stuff for the plot. BECAUSE the characters all were interesting and the setting. I imagine it’s the same for Dr. Stone fans and Haikyuu. I’m not an ice skater but it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the art and look more up after
Because a show like Yuri on Ice introduced me to it and showed me some basics and actually explained it to me because I wouldn’t have bothered otherwise. I dont really care for sports outside of shows surrounding the sport and I’ll only care if the characters MAKE me care. That’s just me, i found Yuri on Ice entertaining and rewatchable especially as a comfort anime
