Yuri! On Ice Discussion thread

[Moria Polonius]

Hey, maybe Victor didn't get robbed but pulled off Patrick/Yuzuru-at-the-olympics? Over-ambitious program with lots of small mistakes that dragged down the GOE but was still enough to get the WR? Or maybe he underrotated?

[5expressions]

Wasn't it revealed in one of the YOI events that Viktor had a longstanding tiff with the Russian skating federation as well as the ISU? So it's canonically likely that he was underscored, but looking at the irregularity in the other skaters' scores it also obvious that the YOI makers really did not bother doing the proper math.

Is this the right place to spam my Yuri On Ice piano cover?   (Can you guess which site is my computer screen picturing? Yup, this one!)

Some more interview translations I came across (though these are from June):

It looks like some YOI merchandise, in collab with FaOI, are available for sale.

I haven’t seen YoI but a recommendation just showed up on YouTube for footage of Kenji’s choreography for what I think must be all the routines in the show. You’ve likely all seen it but I’m really enjoying it!

For YOI fans, and interview with the creators.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I have a question that stems from YoI:

Throughout the series, they speak of the skaters having "themes" for their programs. I know Yuzu's theme for 15-16 was "Wa/Japan"...Is this something most skaters do, or is it just a predominantly Japanese practice? I love the thought of having a theme, as opposed to, "I like this song lol I should skate to it wut fun," but I don't think I've ever heard of a US skater doing the same. (Disclaimer: Been watching figure skating since I was a child, but only just starting to watch it hardcore this past year.)

I think it's a Japanese thing... or if it occurs outside of Japan, I haven't heard of it. The most iconic theme of all is prolly Tatsuki Machida's "Timshel" in which NO ONE understood what he was talking about
