About Yuri!!! on ICE

Here is what Yuri!!! on ICE (ユーリ!!! on ICE) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, drama and sports anime by MAPPA (2016). At its core: Yuri Katsuki makes his way to the Grand Prix ice skating competition as Japan’s top representative with his eyes on the prize. However, instead of celebrating, Yuri walks away defeated and ready to retire for good.

As things develop, a run-in with champion Viktor Nikiforov and rising star Yuri Plisetsky ignites a new fire within him. With the two of them close by his side, Yuri will take to the ice once more.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Yuuri Katsuki and Kouki Uchiyama as Yuuri Plisetsky. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
