I never imagined that I would get so taken in with a show about male figure skating, but as Roger Ebert once said, "It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it." That goes for anime as well, of course, and Yuri is about the tragedies and triumphs of the human will. ![]() I must warn you though, if you have any issues with two grown men bonding over a shared love of the Ice Capades, and lots of unapologetic shots of guys staring longingly at each other with sparkly eyes after a hard-won icy dance-off, then I do not recommend this anime for you. ![]() Is it the be-all end-all, bestest show of the year like some people are claiming? No. Yuri on Ice is gay, but it is also one of the most fun sports anime series I've seen in a long time. Yuri on Ice is the gayest thing since gay came to Gaytown. So, the first question that everyone asks about this show, Yuri on Ice, is "Is it gay?" I just want to say, dude, really? It's a story about male ice dancers.
