the gayest skating anime (Yuri!!! On ICE)

  1. @Ruevian, @littlewhitemouse, that post's take is very close to mine, with the exception of Yuuri wanting to end it sooner so it's easier to bear. I saw him as trying to end it because he doesn't think he deserves Victor, and that Victor will be happier and better off without him. >=D >=D >=D

    (See also: I have a thing for Pining, strongly tied to I Just Want Them To Be Happy. Please excuse me while my id and I wallow.)

    When is this? Is this the line in the Very Upsetting Scene at the end of Ep 11? Because if so... that... well, I'm not actually sure what that changes!

    Is that kind of self-deprecation indicative of Yuuri's low self-esteem, or is that how you would politely break things off with a romantic partner? (My knowledge of the cultural context is spotty, so...)

    Nah, it's in episode 9 when he says he'll have Viktor step down as his coach. I'm on my phone so it's time for romaji.

    He phrases that line using give/receive language: "Viktor ni wa grand prix finale de coach wo yamettemorau."

    Morau and ageru are used in the giving and receiving of gifts and favors; here he's saying he'll ask to receive the gift of Viktor's stepping down. But it's very polite to phrase it that way, like saying "Please do me the favor of letting me help you."

    Japanese language is super twisty, but this is very self depreciating. His entire relationship with Viktor is framed as an imposition on Viktor in Yuuri's mind, so anything Yuuri wants, even if it's for Viktor's sake, is phrased as asking for favors. As an apologetic imposition.

    It's the opposite for rude as fuck and self involved JJ, who uses sashiagemasu, the extremely formal version of give/ageru, to talk up himself.

    I'm having the worst day already so if YOI decides to be cruel it may tip me over the edge. And even if it resolves sweetly I really don't want the series to end. Either way I will probably be a gross mess by midnight.

    For the first time in a while, because of random events converging, I don't have solid work on a Wednesday. This is bad because up until this point I've been working all day and then have gotten to collapse in my chair and watch the new episode when I get home. I don't know when to watch the episode??? ASAP but??? I'm also not ready this is too much for me. Maybe I'll go offline again, make Christmas presents for 5 hours, and come online when I know it's safe.

    ...has it aired in Japan by now? It's popular so it can't take too long to be subbed...

  17. Are you talking fansubbers or the commercial simulcast? Because my understanding is actually that CrunchyRoll gets early footage, so they have time to subtitle it well. There's visual differences between what airs in Japan, sometimes, and what we see on CR!

    Edit to add: ONE MINUTE [screaming internally and externally via text]

    Edit to add: Negative seven minutes and it's still not up. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
