Yuri!!! on Ice: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

I love this! So glad I bought it on blu-ray. It's honestly a really good anime. (Some of these reviews are missleading, this product is only the blu-ray/DVD combo pack and not the limited edition box set, even though I wish it was. I almost paid $20 extra (from another retailer since amazon doesn't offer it) to get it but decided against it.) I enjoyed it so much, I was on the verge of tears several times. It's very emotional, showing character vulnerablinities and strengths. It has some truly beautiful detailed shots. It was actually very ambitious of Funimation to animate such a thing. Figure skating requires fluid animation. While the animation is not fluid while they are skating, in my opinion, for the most part and there are wonky and weird looking shots, I still enjoyed it and it didn't distract me from the moment too much. The movement can sometimes look a little like a flip book sometimes, a little jumpy and staggered, but like I said ambitous and emotional. There have been some beautiful detailed up close moments that I would love to have pictures of but, alas I can't. I really love the dynamic between the main characters Yuri and Victor. Representation in anime for me, mostly never happens. This is the first time seeing a character, Yuri who is probably most like my self. Thanks for that. I will treasure this purchase, always. It's an early birthday present to myself.

Japanese subtlety can be annoying. Take YURI ON ICE -- does its marriage of sports drama and romantic comedy promise more than it ultimately delivers, or does the show succeed because its boy-meets-boy love story is, you'll excuse the expression, a fairytale romance -- so idealized it exists in a realm of pure emotion? The backdrop is the small but passionate world of competitive figure skating, and the offbeat triangle that plays out against it -- a pair of twentysomething starcrossed lovers and the 15-year-old "punk" who wants to break them up -- is the excuse for a series of high stakes dance routines on ice. This is straight up eye candy: these boys move beautifully (and the "Welcome to the Madness" OVA will leave you panting), but the show is more about the pain of perfecting those athletic displays than about the display itself. Yuri and Victor, young men in the twilight of their career but for different reasons, and the "beautiful monster" Yurio, a teenaged vessel of pure rage channeled into art, keep finding ways of pushing each other into new emotional and artistic territory. That's what makes this such a joyous, hopeful series: we don't really want any of them, or even any of their competitors, to fail. Everyone has so much invested in winning. Everyone has their reasons. That said, there were times when I wanted to scream "Kiss him, you fool!" at the screen. Our heroes have their highs and lows, they're clearly in love with each other, there's a lot of crying and embracing, but why can't they explicitly plant a single kiss on the lips? There's a reason for that omission, but I don't get it.

There's not much more for me to say about the series itself that hasn't been said by others before me. If you need any convincing to watch Yuri!!! on Ice, just know that it had me in tears as I watched the show in the back of my lecture hall. There's so much heart put into this show and it really does pull you in. As for this release, it's a gorgeous limited edition set. If you love this show as much as I do, this is a must buy! The artbook comes with both officially released art and story boards which are so pretty to look at. Also included in the book are interviews with Kenji Miyamoto, the show's choreographer, as well as with Mitsurou Kubo and Sayo Yamamoto, the show's creators. They give a nice look into the work they put into creating this series. I love the art cards that came with the set as well; it's a pleasant surprise that they don't have a glossy finish because it makes the art stand out more. The box itself is a work of art itself with the holographic appearance and the choice of cover. The coloration is truly reminiscent of the show's opening theme and that ties in to the song's lyrics being written on the inside of the box!

And let me tell you, this anime did. I could rave for hours about how much I love this anime, how it brought back my passion for ice skating and renewed my faith in sports anime. If you're worried about queerbaiting, don't be. Yuri on Ice delivers on exactly what you'd expect from it. It's gives you warm fuzzies, wonderful feelings, fantastic music, and quality animation. The story may not be your standard 26-episode season, but you know what? That's fine. All the characters are absolutely wonderful and the amount of effort and love that went into the writing and creation really shows. All the bonuses that come with the BluRay are simple, but nice, and I'm glad to have them. Yuri!!! on Ice is one of the few anime I've watched in its entirety multiple times (like, more than three) and my love for it never fade and I never grow bored. Character development is great, real life issues are treated well, and the love story it offers isn't put in the spotlight OR on the back burner. It's right where it needs to be every time. Please watch this and buy the BluRay. You won't regret it.

Love this series and finally wanted to own a copy for myself. The delivery was fast and the product in good condition. As for the series itself, what can I say about it that hasn't already been said? If you're looking for a good sports series that delves deeper into the unexplored but equally important mental side of competing with a good relationship to cheer for, this series is for you. I laugh, I cringe, and celebrate with all of the characters.

I can't even put into words how much I loved this anime. Even things that normally annoy me in anime (stupid last minute drama for the sake of drama >_<) didn't bother me as much as it usually does in YOI, that's how much I loved it and the characters. I almost hope there is never a sequel season, because this one was such perfection that trying to extend the story runs a serious risk of ruining it. If you like sports anime and understand the realities of making a mainstream show with gay protagonists in Japan, you'll love this. (It's sooo refreshing to see the obviously gay for each other main characters in a sports anime actually get together, even if the kiss got censored) 200 stars.

Wanted to add to my collection. Great story, fun characters, and an inspiring message. This is a BL whether it says so or not so if you are offended by that best stay clear. Otherwise great animated story. I purchased an old library set and it came in great condition, very pleased with the seller and Blu-ray set.

Love the series and it deserves all 5 stars. I just wish Amazon wouldn't obliterate these fragile disc sets by sending them in hollow boxes with no padding. As you can see two of the pieces that hold discs in place snapped loose and a disc was rolling around inside upon first opening. Also the bottom spine that holds the flip tray tore away from the rest of the case, which just baffles me how a new shrink wrapped product arrives in this condition.

todo perfecto !! viene el dvd y el bluray, los extras sólo están en el bluray

Per i DVD: leggibili per le regioni 1, 2 e 4. La serie è sia in audio originale che nella versione americana doppiata di Funanimation. Sottotitoli disattivatili, oppure le opzioni sono: traduzione delle solo scritte o traduzione inglese dell'intero dialogo giapponese (ma non la versione verbatim dell'adattamento americano). Ottimo! Per la versione Blu-ray, posso solo dire che è leggibile sia per la regione A che B.

One of my favourite tv shows, and i’m so glad to own it now! It came very quick, and in perfect condition. The disc designs are really pretty too.

初めて(ドキドキしながら) [import]のDVD&Blu-rayを買ったのですが、DVDの方は問題なく再生できて、 TV放送分はバッチリ見られました👍 国内版は細かく分けられて保管に場所を取り、コストも… ということで購入を躊躇していたのでこちらの商品のおかげで救われた思いですね。 音声 日本語と英語を選べ、字幕のON・OFFも選べたので快適に視聴出来たし、英語字幕は英語の勉強にも使えそうな気がします^ ^♪ 特典映像はBlu-rayのみだったので、そちらの再生もチャレンジしてみたのですが、案の定、国コードで引っかかりました。(これは想定通りです) 私としてはとりあえず見たかったTV version が低コストで見られたので大満足です。 同じように特典映像に特に拘らないという方にはオススメですよ。 他のタイトルも探してみようかな…^ ^

La pelicula venía en muy buenas condiciones, contiene dos formatos en dvd y blue ray
