You, yes, you! Can help improve this archive 💜💙🩵

Dear YOI Fans,

Yuri!!! On Ice isn’t my main fandom anymore, but in light of the cancellation announcement, I feel like right now is a good time to try and complete this blog as far as I can.

If you have merch, or high quality scans, or can take high quality pictures of official art/merch that I haven’t shared in a decent quality on here yet, please reach out to submit the pictures so I can complete the archive. I’ve spent a lot of time in the past hunting for the highest quality pictures I could find, but I wasn’t always successful.

If you don’t have merch or the pictures I’m looking for, please share this post so it can reach those who could help me out 💙

I have a specific tag (“to replace with higher quality”) on this blog for art that I wish to replace with higher quality, additionally I will pin this post and add a Google doc with all the art I’m looking for once I’m done putting that doc together. So please watch this space!

Thank you for your help, I hope together we can complete this project 💜

Katsuki Yuuri is so funny because dude is an Olympic level figure skater who competes internationally regularly and he introduces himself through narration in the first episode as very average in skill, who is doing it like him.

Your self confidence may be bad but is it deluding yourself into thinking you suck at something you rank sixth in the world at bad?

#THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING #LAST IN THE GPF IS FUCKING AMAZING #i have a whole meta about it because yuuri yuuri yuuri my little blorbo #you are AMAZING #reblog #yuri on ice #katsuki yuuri

sighs heavily the way yoi has been treated by avex and mappa and whoever else had a say in it is a fucking travesty. it really is, and i will never get over that. i know avex and mappa probably aren't the only ones to blame, but it doesn't even really matter to me who is and who isn't at fault. and it isn't even really about iceado. it just breaks my heart and angers me to no end that such a beautiful, tenderly crafted, uplifting and earnest story with so many lovable characters and a healthy, non-fetishized and happy queer relationship at the centre, which touched the hearts of so many people, just ended up abandoned. some people think this is an exaggeration, but i really do think it was revolutionary and i also think that's at least part of the reason it ended up shelved. if it was just another BL, it probably wouldn't have ended up that way, because it could be neatly categorized as belonging to a specific genre that is seen as "dirty" or "indecent" and which only "perverted women" like. but yoi insisted that an anime with queer romance and queer protagonists doesn't have to be BL, that queerness can not only exist in but be central to a story and represented positively without that story needing to belong to a specific genre. that queerness doesn't just belong in a box labelled "obscene", shoved away so that it doesn't threaten heteronormativity. and that's exactly it: yoi did threaten the idea that heterosexuality is the only "normal" and "correct/proper" sexuality, and it also went against the heteronormative ways queer relationships are typically represented in BL, with a clearly gendered dynamic that the intended audience (women) is supposed to be able to relate to, where the partners are strictly divided into seme/uke : top/bottom : masculine/feminine. this (according to the info i have) led to many BL fans harassing the creators because it wasn't "BL" enough, which could have also contributed to the IP holders deciding to shelve it.

like. yoi went and asked: can a queer relationship be represented positively in an anime not specifically labelled and marketed as having queerness in it? and can that queer relationship be represented in a way that doesn't cater to the heterosexual viewer's tastes and expectations? and from a big part of the audience, the answer was a resounding yes, the anime in question becoming popular beyond expectation (not just because of the queerness, of course). but then i guess there were also reactions and pressures we don't have a clear idea of, and ultimately the anime industry's answer was no – or at least, not beyond a 12 episode series we would prefer everyone quickly forgot about, despite its success. and that's goddamn heartbreaking.

i don't know. maybe i'm wrong or too dramatic about it. i don't think homophobia and heteronormativity are the only reasons it ended up this way, but i do strongly believe they are a factor. yoi was brilliant and revolutionary in many other ways beside its portrayal of queerness, as others have pointed out. it also gave us a realistic depiction of anxiety, wonderfully crafted figure skating routines, amazing music, diverse and non-stereotyped characters from several different nations, male characters that were allowed to be emotional and defy gender norms without it being ridiculed, and much more. but i think that none of these things inhibited its future development quite as much as its insistence that queer love is not a lesser kind of love, and that queer love doesn't have to be a certain way or belong in a certain genre to be acceptable.

YOI didn't just give us actual queer rep in mainstream anime, great unique story, amazing animation and beautiful tracks. It also gave us some rare realistic representation of an anxiety disorder with Yuuri. That it can't just be loved away, that it returns in the most inopportune times, that it makes you irrational and blind to what's in front of you. And to people that didn't see the show, this isn't some fanon interpretation, it's pretty damn clear cut. If you haven't seen YOI, you definitely should give it a chance. The cancelled movie actually doesn't take away from the show at all since it was going to be a prequel and the anime ended in a pretty satisfying note, no cliffhanger or anything.

#its depiction of anxiety and miscommunication (not the annoying kind) and just interpersonal relationships is everything #please watch it if you havent #its such a kind show #intensely earnest #just. go watch it. i promise youll fall in love #reblog #yuri on ice

Ice Ado Cancellation

So the official Yuri On Ice account dropped this tweet last night. Ice Adolescence is cancelled for sure.

I think we had all known that it was but the confirmation still stings.

And this wasn't just another cancellation like Netflix shows get. This movie was already well underway - animation had started. They already had music and choreography! Multiple famous skaters were working with them. They had released a trailer for it--and then it all got dropped.

I agree with Denki here - something major happened that we'll never know about, whether that was the Olympic committee or politics or MAPPA channeling resources into other series like AoT or JJK.

Either way, it stings. Yoi is literally the show that put MAPPA on the map, and it had a giant international audience. Like just looking at how many different languages are under the announcement post is enough to show how beloved it was. This tweet from Junicihi Suwabe (the voice of Victor) really expresses it.

And I've always loved the fandom. It was a welcoming and happy place to be back when the show first aired. I don't think fandom can really exist like that anymore. (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Anyway, if you're reading this and have never seen Yuri on Ice, go watch it. It's literally a masterpiece on Sayo and Kubo's end of things and has excellent characters and storytelling.
