\\After a crushing defeat in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final and other competition losses, Yuri Katsuki develops mixed feelings about ice skating and puts his career on hold, returning to his hometown of Hasetsu in Kyushu. Yuri visits his childhood friend, Yuko, at an ice rink and perfectly mimics an advanced skating routine performed by his idol: Russian figure skater Victor Nikiforov. When secretly-recorded footage of Yuri's performance is uploaded to the Internet, it catches Victor's attention; he travels to Kyushu with an offers to coach Yuri and revive his figure-skating career. With Victor, Yuri aims to win the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series against his rival: Yuri Plisetsky, a rising 15-year-old skater from Russia.//
Age rating [PG-13]
I loved this anime so much, whenever the opening came on I would just start singing along. The art style is amazing and they put a lot of work into the movements as it actually looks like they're skating continuously with no stops. The plot was well thought out and developed and there is a lot of character development.
The only thing that made me a bit disappointed was that they reused the same program, e.g Yuri had the same Eros program in all competitions, which made it a bit boring. However I do understand it is hard to do different routines etc so I'll let it slide.
I like how they included real skating terms and moves which made it more realistic, even I felt like I wanted to be a skater after watching it. He ending was amazing and I'm looking forward to season 2.
Overall it was an incredible anime, and I know I'm late to the party watching it but if you haven't see it, it is really a must see. (/)
