it's been kinda surreal seeing people and blogs that have been inactive for half a decade now come back to mourn ice ado with everyone else. this anime truly did touch so many people that even after 7+ years since the finale aired we are still coming together to remember how wonderful it is 💙💖

[mykatsudon]

Good news! Ice ado news. Bad news... Well, I'm sure you can guess.

#yuri on ice #yoi #a long time coming but it still hurts like hell

It was so beautiful while it lasted. I will never forget you all

#yuri on ice #yoi #my final goodbye.

Tonight is heavy, have a sketch of happy boys, both getting gold in their age groups.

#I miss them :( #this is so cute op

[mykatsudon]

plots that revolve around misunderstandings are the worst. except for Yuri!!! on ICE, which is, in fact, the very best

#oh absolutely #the reveal in ep 10 is still like the most fun I’ve ever had watching an anime #it was so good

[mykatsudon]

Tumblr making badges and checkmarks explicitly making fun of twitter while also changing every possible feature to copy twitter

[mykatsudon]

tumblr developers cranking it into overdrive to make sure one of the few unique and usable social media sites remaining becomes a half-formed failed homunculus clone of tiktok like every other fucking website

Ooof I am also in my feelings about YOI. I can't believe I actually watched it as it was airing. I was still a teen and related to Yurio the most, now I come back to watch it and I'm older than Yuri!! And he's so relatable, it's like I was missing a whole part of YOI then suddenly I rewatch as an adult feeling weirdly sentimental despite that year being pretty bad for me and just oooofffffff.

I was tearing up constantly. Like when I watched as it came out I thought Victor seemed kinda cold and far away and I liked Yuri well-enough but thought he got over his anxiety quickly, my main focus was Yurio. Now going back it's just holy shit, I lived Yuri's life, minus the sporting achievements lol but I felt everything he felt, and Victor too was so much more interesting, clearly so much going on under the surface and profound loneliness covered up with a cheerful facade. I can't believe how different it was to rewatch years later at a different age. I still love Yurio too but now it feels like oh god please someone help this child rather than relating to him.

I remember even thinking at the time later that maybe it was overrated but going back to it now is just like god, no it wasn't at all, it really *was* that great, it really *did* deserve the hype. And I don't really know where I'm going with this but I just wanted to share it with someone bc I was never really that involved in the fandom and it's kinda died off now and I have no one to say it too in irl so it's just my farewell ig to YOI. Like I love that I can rewatch it but the whole hype around it at the time was so cool, it reminded me of watching shows on tv then talking about it at school the next day. Like it somehow re-created that experiance but even better bc it was sooo many people all at once. It was just so optimistic and sweet, and I feel weirdly sad now whenever I see anything about it. I almost wish it had done multiple seasons and movies and milked it for all its worth so I could just move on from it like anything else but now everytime I see it I'm suddenly thrown back to being a teen and comparing my life from then to now and suddenly remember every emotion I was feeling, it's so brutal.

This is overlong and kinda clumsy but basically I want to send the show off somehow like kiss it on it's cheeks and wave goodbye but I don't know how so I'm writing this all to you. Please don't feel pressured to reply, I know I've sent paragraphs. But if you do want to anyway, I'd love to hear all and any thoughts you have about YOI and what it was for you. I feel strangely lonely about it now bc I never had irl friends who watched it and I never paticipated in fandom. Now I'm like, idk mourning it, on my own. YOI coincided with a little bubble of time where I was relatively happy and hopeful, It's hard to let just that go now.

I understand you. I was 16 when yoi aired and I was actually waiting for it's release months before because the trailer seriously caught my attention, so I've been here since before the first ep was even out. To this day I count being able to watch Yuri on ice as it aired as one of the most positive experiences of my life. When yoi came out, I was in a particularly dark spot in my life, and this anime was my anchor through and through. It taught me the power a piece of media can have on a person as I do believe I couldn't have pulled through that year if yoi hadn't come in to save me at the last minute.

I remember it being so fun, I actually don't think I've ever had more fun with any other piece of media, it was magical.

It was many combining factors too; the fact that yoi is an original anime so every single Wednesday we had no idea what we were getting, the fact that yoi was so original in it's story and heavily deviates from your average sports anime, the huge community that formed around the series, making theories, trending #1 on Tumblr every single Wednesday and of course, the fact that there was actually a love story playing out between Victor and Yuri and that we as the audience got to experience it. l wonder if people truly understand how unique that is. This anime really went above and beyond all my expectations. It fed me too well and spoiled me too much.

I miss Yuri on ice in the way one misses a high they know they'll never obtain again, and I chased that high the remainder of my teenage years.

Having this blog, making friends, talking about the series, eagerly waiting for every Wednesday and having something to look forward to like that, I don't know If I'll ever experience it again. I don't think so. It really feels like the planets aligned for me to enjoy yoi to it's full potential. No one in this world can understand how much this series means to me, how close it is to my heart.

People who didn't watch it while it aired or who weren't in fandom have no idea how it felt. To this day, it was unlike anything I've ever encountered in fandom. It really is a "you just had to be there" kind of experience.

To say I miss it dearly would be a huge understatement. But I've been grieving yoi for the past 4 years. I'm currently in the acceptance phase. Whatever happens, happens. I agree with you that I wish they would've milked the series for all it's worth and we were on season 2 with a movie coming out soon. But that's just a selfish desire. What I wished the most is they hadn't played with my heart like that and gave me hope. I wish they came out and said "this project is over, sorry". I do believe something went deeply wrong in production, as you may have seen in my essays I've written on this subject.

I controversially believe Mappa is not entirely at fault and that this is something to do with the creators. It just makes no logical sense for Mappa to can yoi when it not only saved their studio, it's one of their best selling anime, pulling in crazy numbers. It even outsold Chainsawman. I think that if it were up to them we would be on Yuri on ice S3.

but enough especulating, what I mean to say is:

Allow yourself to mourn and say goodbye to a piece of media that greatly impacted your life. I think the best thing to do is to redirect those feelings you have towards gratitude.

I'm grateful for the memories we made together and the incredible chance they gave me to run a blog that had 25k+ Yuri on ice fans in it's prime, for the friends I made. I feel like I had a lot of fun and enjoyed every bit.

I will forever look forward to anything yuri on ice related, but if this is the end then so be it.

you gave me a long ask, I gave you a long answer.

Thank you for your heartfelt message.

ice adolescence kinda makes me think of when i would work on an assignment desperately trying to finish in time and then 12:00 hits and its like, ok its already overdue so ill spend all of tomorrow working on it, then tomorrow comes and iv left it too late again its 12:00 again and the cycle keeps going, and every day theres a late penalty added and it gets to a point where it cant be handed in as it originally wouldve been bc it has to be perfect just to even pass and then i have a meltdown over it and dont hand in anything at all. Point being, yea i definitely think theres a burnout/personal conflict/ohshitweleftthissolatenowitneedstobeperfect issue going on.

but like...handing in a bad assignment is still better than handing in nothing at all. And a ice adolescence thats not perfect (but still lovingly created) would still be amazing. Yuri on ice wasnt perfect, there wasn't enough time for all the characters and for the emotional moments to rest before zooming to the next scene. but we adored it anyway bc it there was so much love and care involved. i get they realise now that this movie will probably be the send off and naturally they dont want to sour the series with a bad/mediocre movie but cmon now, i was in highschool when it came out and ive since finished uni and work full time, weve all grown up and the characters are remaining static in 2016 on hold.

I use to want a season 2 but now i dont think i do, i cant even think of a plot that wouldnt either be a rehash of s1 or just breaking up yuri/victor for the sake of conflict. A prequel is a good, safe option. We really dont know that much about Victors life, theres so much to work with! And they could even have little cuts to present day, that could just be sweet and domestic bc they wouldnt have to worry about coming up with drama to fill a season with. Its a great option, now all they have to do is make and release the damn thing lmao. sorry for the long rant, this show just hurts my heart so bad, i cant believe its making me feel nostalgic for 2016 of years.

I agree with you. Heavy on the season 2 storyline being difficult to come up with. I would even think that a hypothetical S2 could only be made yurio-centric in order to avoid rehashing S1 plot points. Yuri on ice really wraps up nicely, the only thing it's missing is we really don't know much about Victor.

This is what I imagine happened in the good timeline:

Yuri on ice S1, Yuri MC

2. Victor-centric prequel movie

3. Yuri on Ice S2 Yurio as MC (and it still would be called Yuri on Ice lol)

4. multiple OVA's and short mangas like WTTM
