YURI ON ICE

[(Anonymous)]

i started watching this the other day and holy fuck.

bland nice guy who's unnaturally skilled at what he does for no real reason, the periods of normalcy broken up by characters flailing and screaming, violent physical abuse as a source of humor, hideously ugly and precocious toddlers with stupid themed names, the romantic interest that we're supposed to like but is just a thoughtless asshole.

who was this show even made for? it's too stupid and goofy to appeal to adults but i find it hard to believe there's a huge audience of children just dying to watch figure skating drama.

anon, i'm not even a yoi fan, just a flatlander who finds it funny that you think hating traditional or generic anime devices is interesting or new

Re: YURI ON ICE

what anime were you watching in the 90s early 00s then?? that was a hellhole of anime design and anime in general.

fucking bee train was a sin on the anime landscape.

its to appeal to fujoshi to self-insert onto yuuri. it's why he has all the traits they can relate to, and why victor literally has no character except to be hot and really into the protagonist.

don't forget the nerdy tumblrinas who cry thst yuuri ~has anxiety~ and how dare you not think he's the most relatable cinnamon roll bawwwwwww

>bland nice guy who's unnaturally skilled at what he does for no real reason

you mean a thing that exists in reality all the time and the kind of person that's usually the focal point of a story?

>violent physical abuse as a source of humor

won't someone think of the children!!

>hideously ugly and precocious toddlers

so all toddlers. Honestly it's nice to see toddlers not look like perfect angels

>too stupid and goofy to appeal to adults

If you're an adult and you can't appreciate any sort of stupid or goofy stuff then you need to take the stick out of your ass and find what dumb humor actually works for you and chill on what other people find stupid and fun.

I've just been trying to wrap my head around how a guy who's dedicated his life since early childhood to training in a sport is "unnaturally skilled for no reason". How does this person think competitive athletes happen?

better watch out, OP, you've impugned the honor of this person's shitty fujo schlickbait and she's having none of it.

bland nice guys suck as protagonists btw

Re: YURI ON ICE

consider just how many comedy movies that involve 'violent physical abuse as a source of humor' and are targeted straight at adults have been made right here in the usa going back to at least the 1920s. there are lots of adults who enjoy slapstick humor. there are also lots of mainstream hollywood movies that have humor in between the serious bits.

why is this suddenly weird or confusing when it's animated instead of live action?

Re: YURI ON ICE

[(Anonymous)]

da

there's been this honestly weird prevalence lately to take slapstick comedy at face value and call it "abuse" as if it's meant to be realistic or something.

idk, maybe it's a tumblr thing.

Re: YURI ON ICE

It's definitely a tumblr thing. Classic shipwar ammunition.

[(Anonymous)]

i only see this and the whole weird "shipping two teenagers together makes you a pedo" thing used for shipwars

because it's not enough to tell someone who likes a ship you don't like that they have bad taste, you now have to try and find some kind of sjw-flavored reason to tell them they're a terrible human being for liking that ship you don't like

i know i'm really late to this but here is my take:

"bland nice guy" ?? yuuri isn't generically nice. if you find him bland, that's your deal, but he isn't even necessarily "nice" in the first place. "unnaturally skilled" what? he's literally spent his whole life on it and had no social life whatsoever so he got more time in than most on top of it. he's not overly skilled compared to the other characters either. idk where you're getting this "thoughtless asshole" shit from either, unless you only watched like, three episodes. he has his moments, but it makes sense when you consider his characterization and history. as for him being kind of a dick regarding skating at points: your coach being blunt as fuck with you is part of skating culture. they didn't pull it out of their ass. they did an obscene amount of research for this show. there is a reason the professional figure skating community is crazy for it.

and if you're going into anime expecting no anime humor, i honestly don't know what to say to you other than don't watch anime. the humor is aimed at people from a different culture entirely, so it's going to be hit and miss. some of us enjoy it. if you don't find it funny, fine, but don't get mad about it. just move on with your life. also lol @ "violent physical abuse".

it wasn't made for anyone, either. it was a passion project that everyone went batshit over. clearly it appealed to someone.

i'll give you the dumb toddler names, but other than that, i will fucking fight you.

yes i mad
