    I know JoJo is currently one of the big anime sweethearts, but one of the biggest stars from late last year, is the amazing Yuri!!! on Ice. Now I generally dislike any anime or tv show about sports, so imagine my surprise when I really loved this very cute anime about male figure skating.

    It's very cute and very homoerotic and a little bit gay. I don't usually like that in anime, and yet I have shed more then one tear over Yuri :oops:

    If there isn't a season 2, I will cut myself.

    Yuri on ice is actually a mistranslation from the original Russian. It is actually George on ice.

    You know I don't really watch anime anymore (except for the retro good shit like a sad hipster), but my girlfriend and a few of our friends decided to give the show a try after seeing some hilarious gifs of it. We were surprised how actually entertaining it was and apparently sports anime are a different ballgame (lol get it) than other anime genres. I honestly suggest watching the dub because the voice acting sometimes is hilarious as hell.

    Also that opening is fucking tight.

    I just love the dub- fucking hilarious. I really like Jerry Jewell as a VA and his Russain accents never fail to illicit a laugh out of me.

    I found the dub to be pretty superior to the subbed version. With the interest in anime becoming bigger and bigger, dubs are getting a lot better then they used to be. B Gata H Kei has a really good dub too and shares some of the same voice actors that Yuri uses.

    Yeah, dubbed anime used to be laughable at best aside from Ghibli releases, which were backed by Disney. I'm actually surprised how fast they're putting out the dubs for Yuri, too. The anime is entirely new, but the moment they realized the show was catching steam in english-speaking countries, they hopped on the bandwagon before the season was even finished in Japan. I like the dub a lot more too, so our little watching party switched entirely to that.

    If anyone's looking for reasons to check out the dub at least once, here's a compilation. I lol'd.

    I also really dig the animation, like some work went into this anime and it really shows. I'm sure it was difficult to animate figure skating, but the animation still manages to make the actions just as effortless and elegant as they look in real life.
    And every time Victor speaks in the dub, I really can't help but think of Russia from Hetalia- but that's because they have the same VA and he does the exact same accent and inflection for both of them.
