I don't buy physical releases of anything since I have nowhere to keep them in my tiny apartment, but I'm seriously considering buying YOI, because this is Important Stuff. Plus, I'm hoping they'll use the HQ version, so we can enjoy the gays in HD C:
Tbh, I've pretty much given up on anime as a medium that could deliver enjoyable stories with LGBT themes, since it's very hard to find something watchable among all the rapey yaoi trash (I judge myself from 10 years ago SO HARD for watching those), but... then this stupid show happened. Please don't disappoint us now Japan D:

I agree! They could have easily made the side characters into background for Victor & Yuri, but I love how each of them got enough screentime to develop a personality and a distinct skating style (I think? I know literally nothing about figure skating)

Unless they manage to completely ruin it in the second half, it's definitely my favorite of 2016... there were others I loved, but none of them gave me such FEELS. Feels are +10 points at least.
