In fact, sports-themed anime is not uncommon, and the net king is also a very popular sports competition, but the material of this series is that the audience has always been far less than tennis, basketball, football and other sports figure skating.
First, let's talk about the origin of this fan.
According to the main creators of the anime, the creation of this drama comes from the love of figure skating for several people in their production team for many years, and they want to show the charm of figure skating to more people through this anime. Therefore, a story of several people meeting each other due to figure skating was created, showing the audience the light of the dreamer.

Back to our real protagonist, Katsuo Yongli.
Courage from elementary school figure skating
The figure skater from Japan has the ability to enter world-class competitions, but often plays abnormally on the field due to excessive tension, so he misses out on the world-class competition. The relationship between the two people chasing and being chased is the most important line in the drama.
In the play, when Yongli first saw Victor play on television as a teenager, he made up his mind to one day stand in the same arena as the person he envisioned.
Watching Victor's performance on TV shows god's bravery
However, Yongli was overly nervous and played abnormally in the final, losing the opportunity to stand on the same stage as his idol. So he packed up his things and returned to his hometown, and just when he was hesitant to continue his figure skating career, Victor, who had always admired him, ran to his house and said that he would be his coach.
Find ways to make Yongli break through the fresh performance style
In fact, at this time, Victor, who has been a five-in-a-row master, encountered the bottleneck period of his figure skating career, hoping to tap new strength by teaching Yongli. But Yongli had all kinds of doubts about this matter.
At this time, Yuri, another Russian teenager talented figure skater, also came to ask Victor to return to Russia to fulfill the promise he promised to choreograph a short figure skating program for him.

So Victor happily agreed... That's weird.
Angry and funny Victor
Of course, how could Victor, who dropped the line from time to time, remember. Attach a breathless Yuri sheet ~
So Victor deliberately arranged for the two to rehearse a short show that was completely opposite to their respective temperaments to compete, and agreed that whoever won, Victor would be the coach of whom.

Although the two have their own advantages, in the end, the courage that brought Victor a fresh feeling won the game and successfully left Victor. The brave figure skating schedule began.
Victor, who is completely unfamiliar with the position of coach, always overplays his abnormal bravery before the game, and the two stumble forward. Victor slowly becomes a competent coach, Yongli slowly approaches a new side of himself, and his figure skating show changes from the original refreshing to pure and with a hint of color, but it makes the human body feel the charm of contrast.
The bravery of the color style breaks through the self
However, Yongli proposed to quit figure skating after the final of the world-class competition the night before the final, allowing Victor to return to the arena. Victor, who has always been at ease in the process of getting along between the two, has lost his usual calm and rationality, and even shed tears.
Beauty shed tears and broke hearts
Despite the conflict between the two, after bravely breaking Victor's scoring record in the final, Victor admitted that he was proud of being a coach, but it was not very good for him as a competitor.
Victor finally decided to return to the game, as Yongli had thought. Although Yongli did not win the gold medal, the silver medal in his hand allowed him to invite Victor loudly again to participate in the next season. Their story on the ice continues...
Just like the scene where the two reunite at the end of the play, it is implied that their story will never end.
In addition to the wonderful plot, the most amazing thing about Yuri on the ice is that the music, choreography and costumes used in all the figure skating shows in the drama are basically original!
There are more than a dozen original pieces of music, covering a variety of different styles. Op and ed are also stunning. The smoothness of the op dance movements makes people reluctant to jump op at all, and the amount of information contained in the pictures in ed is also very large, each quick flash of pictures has its own meaning, this needs the audience's fire eye golden eye to find it, the specific information is what is not revealed here, interested friends hurry up to dig it out!
The original figure skating choreography in it is served by former Japanese figure skater Kenji Miyamoto, and now he is also engaged in real-life figure skating choreography work, so the competition program of each figure skater who appears is very worthy of careful experience, detailed viewing, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
In general, this is a thousand faces, and different people will have different feelings when they watch it. This is an inspirational fan, a growth fan, and a fan about love.
"If a person does not have too big dreams, he cannot reach the place he desires."
And if a person does not have love, he cannot have big dreams. Children who chase their dreams must have love in their hearts, and only love can survive in the world.
It's been five years since the first season of Yuri on Ice, and their story has been a long time off, but as the creators put it:
Nothing is more perfect than an unfinished story.
