Personal preferences aside, the problem is not the neckline, but the proportions of this costume. Viewing from the front, down the middle the distance between neckline and waistline is too little in comparison to the distance between the waistline to private area, especially when he moves. He looks much better from the back. Just notice the difference as his spins around: 

Whereas in the masterpiece that is Notte Stellata these two distances are nearly equal.

Clearly Swanyu is the superior twin

Better SE position. I like the looking up.

Side by side of Otonal stsq, ACl vs Helsinki

love the small changes to the costume, the more intense but still dusky blue, the gloves....

[jinxxoo]

I actually like the old costume better. And I liked seeing his hands, a ?Softer look

Oh.  Wow.  I only just now realized that he has gloves on and he didn't at ACI. 

 

In my defense, his skating was so good I wasn't even paying attention to the costume...

I'd love to see Autumn Classic Otonal again the future, perhaps as an ex. Probably wouldn't happen.

quoting myself 'cause I need to keep my word in hope Zuzu's jumps will behave again (and even better, hopefully)

Yuzu's 4S, behave! You want to be praised, right? Land beautifully and I'll make a gif all for you. better, I'll make two gifs, one of SP and one of FS!

Yuzu's 4T, you behave too, do NOT make Zu get a +REP in the FS and a +COMBO or *invalid* in the SP, please and thank you. if you behave so well to make a beautiful -3T rippon and a beautiful sequence, I'll gif you! if you're jealous I haven't giffed the gorgeous solo 4T in ACI FS, I promse I'll gif that too if you get past this rebel phase!

3A, just keep being Zu's steady friend! gimme beautiful twizzle sandwich and sequence and beautiful combo and I'll gif you too!

ok, twizzle-3A sandwich wasn't top notch and 4T3T didn't give me a beautiful rippon, but I'm giffing them as encouragment for COR and because those were some very smooth saves

4S   he changed the exit a bit btw

 

twizzle-3A-twizzle. twizzling like that on his way out after thqat lean, amazing control

 

4T3T

"master class in how to save a jump and make it look awesome" deserves one more gif, I mean, have you looked at his expression and then the languid abandon as he seconded the momentum and turned initial unbalance into choreo

 

 

 

 

more gif 'cause each and every second of Otonal if suited for gifs and I had hard time choosing which one to post

also, thank you to whoever is responsible for the replays, they were truly awesome

Look at the fierce expression, compared to the soft and smiley in ACI (the whole feeling of the stsq was different imo, in ACI it was more languid and dream-like, I'm curious to see how it will be next)

I love how that kick still looks delicate, I think it's because it's a movements that come form his core  and involveall his body, so it looks like part of a wave, not like him wanting to kick something lol

 

 

 

 

thank you

 

also, I've watched only now the slow-mo video of the whole SP (I think the link has already been posted somewhere)  and gosh now I feel the urge to gif the whole thing

I love Yuzuru's arms, and his hands oh gosh! I mean, take the camel spin, his fingers look already awesome in normak speed, but in that slow-mo video...

I've been consolidating some COR fancam links here and I found 2 in particular that are amazing.

 

This one feels like you're right in the first row right there with the judges.

This one from a higher perspective so you can really see his speed and ice coverage. You're able to notice little details as well - like how in sync to the piano notes his hands, arms, and even his feet are.

thank you for compiling fancams too, I'll see if I'm missing some from those I've watched

I love Otonal fancams those from Language of skate (Gladi?) are awesome too...(also those from practices)

And in fancams you get also to see Yuzuru's face during stsq, and he's smiling, I wanna gif one of those because it's so beautiful!

Also, 4T3T looks better in fancams   I can understand why judges showered it in points despite the issues... (I was going to be snarky and say it was because of the SE exit and maybe it was LOL judges really love all kind of SE)

I was also quite surprised at how many details of arms and hands were still visible from afar... I thought most would be lost but for example spins are still so gorgeous
