Edited After further research , I think this was incorrect . Can someone verify ? <| sep |> Yes I will definitely try this again with a full look and share with you guys ! <| sep |> lol get in the bin , everyone says chunes regardless of where in the UK they ' re from <| sep |> Because muh invested monies ! <| sep |> I love that insight . I ' m not sure if I ' m even in the minority of people who isn ' t mostly invested in YOI for the ground it ' s breaking . Don ' t get me wrong , I ' m fist pumping right along with everyone else who is rooting for that incredibly senseless glass ceiling to be smashed , but my main reason for liking YOI is that it ' s an incredibly well done show . The animation is amazing when it wants to be , the story is great enough for me to easily invest in , but most importantly the characters in the story are fleshed out extremely well . They are multifaceted , the relationships in the show are well developed , and the side characters are multidimensional people you want to root for as well . Even the antagonistic types like Yurio . It doesn ' t matter that it ' s a sports anime . It doesn ' t matter that the main love interests happen to both be male , it doesn ' t matter that the chosen sport is ice skating I don ' t follow it but I ' ll enjoy it during the olympics more than most other sports . None of that matters at heart , to me . What matters is that the show is enjoyable entertainment . It ' s got comedy that hits on the mark . It ' s got competition between passionate professionals who love what they do . It ' s got supportive characters that are also invested and truly believable in the skaters they back . It ' s got a lot of things other popular anime lacks . It ' s no surprise to me this series is getting all the love it ' s getting . The tropes and social fabric it ' s breaking is just another element to it ' s success if you ask me and I think that is ultraimportant !
