It’s hard to believe now considering how popular it is but Yuri!!! On Ice was a gamble as far as animes go. It was an original story, a same-sex relationship was a massive part of the plot and it had a large focus on figure skating (which isn’t the most popular sport in the world) to name a few of the risks it was taking. However, fortune favors the bold and the risks Yuri!!! On Ice took paid off massively.
The premise of the first series is that after a crushing defeat in last year’s Grand Prix, Yuri Katsuki goes back home to try and figure out what to do next. He idolizes a Russian figure skater, Victor Nikiforov, and when he does one of Victor’s routines, it ends up online and goes viral which leads to Victor wanting to be his coach much to his shock and awe.
