The older, self-conscious Yuri Katsuki faces his rival: the younger, swaggering, arrogant edge-lord Yuri Plisetsky in a battle for Victor's attention and one-on-one training at stake. Which Yuri will win? Will Victor be able to change the two Yuri's with the wildly different pieces of music he has chosen for each of them, music that contrasts their personalities? On Love: Agape, (charitable, unconditional love) for hot-tempered Russian Yuri, and On Love: Eros, (erotic, passionate, sexual love) for the shy and demure Japanese Yuri? Is Yuri Katsuki Victor's Pygmalion? Can he turn a little Japanese piggy into a prince? Watch it and see. My only regret is that Crunchyroll has only one more free episode of this up on YouTube. But you can always watch the rest with ads on Crunchyroll if you don't want to be a paying member. There are bootleg vids on YT of some of the other episodes but I don't roll like that. I will try and find some of the best scenes after the third episode...to show in continuing posts. And there are some really great scenes, especially of the Grand Prix final and other skaters, and Victor and Yuri's growing relationship. Someone pointed out to me that Funimation also has the English voiced version of this (dubbed) . I am not generally a fan of dubbed anime, preferring to watch most of my shows in the original language with subtitles. I have exceptions to this...anime that I consider so great in English voice that I prefer to watch them that way (Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Soul Eater, xxxHolic, Black Butler) but they are the exceptions to the rule. A fun fact...the English voice actor for Victor is NOT the character who voices Gru in Despicable Me, though fans will often meme that shit and it pisses me off. They sound remarkably similar though, and maybe that is why they do it. Fans are funny like that. Now, episode two of Yuri on Ice!!!: Two Yuri's?! Drama at Yu-topia!
