This. This is why YOI deserves all the love it gets. It just brought figure skating world and anime together. Professionals and casual fans love the show all the same. The love these two community shared while enjoying the show is an achievement worth more than any awards it can get.
Matthew Shannon Well, anime fans, specifically haters themselves will decide that. If you hate a certain show, and spread the hate, then you are the reason the anime community is dividing, not the show itself.
Sapphire Maiden Yuri on Ice has its appeal but is far from perfect, hence the differing opinions amongst casuals and critics. There will always be haters, but they are not the only reason.
weaboochan99999999999999 weaboochan99999999999999 By other figure skating anime, I will assume you're talking about Ginban Kaleidoscope, but correct me if I'm wrong. YOI has mainly three upper hand regarding this; timing, target audience and promotion. YOI comes out when Japan is really into figure skating, because of Yuzuru Hanyu's Sochi Olympics gold medal, unlike Ginban Kaleidoscope which was aired back in mid-2000s when enthusiasm regarding figure skating in general was relatively lower. YOI was catered towards mainly three groups of viewers, namely figure skating fans, people who support healthy depiction of LGBTQ+ relationship in anime and anime fans in general. YOI was promoted by a lot of world class figure skaters through social medias like Twitter, hence giving the show more exposure.
Mr. Weir, ...WE ALL WANT TO SEE YOU SKATING TO AGAPE OR EROS!!!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . (Like if you saw the person that fell on their face at 3:20.)
Honestly I'd love to see his routine for Minami's song, one of his performances he had this strut that was just magic and I'd love to see more of that for Minami's
I wasn't really interested in figure skating much and people kept telling me to watch YOI so I did and now I can't stop watching it. Also Johnny is really cute! And now I've been researching a lot into figure skating, I might try it some time. Crunchyroll, you're amazing.
Will Montegral as someone who has been skating half my life it really is something that you should get into, it is by far the most rewarding beautiful and tough sport I have ever tried
This was lovely! My huge Yuri On Ice bias aside I really enjoyed this interview, Johnny is such a charismatic person and seeing him answer the questions with so much enthusiasm was great! :D
Yay Johnny! He skates at my little sister's rink and performs in the showcase fundraiser there every year (the rink's a nonprofit). He is really amazing to watch perform live and he is a really sincere and kind person. My sister is on a synchro team and they also always perform in the showcase because they compete nationally (which is crazy because she's like 10) but at the end of the showcase every year he always makes sure to take pictures with all of them and sign their skates and he'll just talk with them. I've seen him almost laying down on the ice to sign skates one after another.
The YOI love is still going strong! If you haven't watched the whole season yet - check it out for free on Crunchyroll. www.crunchyroll.com/yuri-on-ice
He is seriously one of my favorite skaters and he does this 😭😭😭⛸⛸⛸⛸❤❤❤ I'm crying tears of joy especially when he said his favorite part was that I'm crying 😭😭😭😭
It’s so comforting knowing that he started when he was twelve. At first my parents were hesitant to support my dreams about skating because most start from a young age. He proves that four years of hard work and dedication can get you to where you want to be.
i love him so much aaaah! also i agree with him when he says it's nice to see the sport he dedicated his whole life to represented on the media. i don't skate but i've definitely taken an interest in figure skating, and hopefully YOI has inspired future atheltes/figure skaters to pursue their dreams and maybe they'll be the ones we see on tv, winning medals, in a few years... :) i just really love that yamamoto and kubo's work has inspired so many people from all over the world!
i love that scene too, it's beautiful because their relationship isn't just yuri idolizing victor, they have a mutual appreciation for one another because victor saw the beauty in him and in his skating way before he became his coach
I'm so glad he picked Yuri! He's really a great main character, easily relatable in his normalcy, but inspiring none the less. He definitely needs more recognition.
Okay, now I need Stéphane Lambiel (who even made a cameo in the last ep as himself!!) and Evgenia Medvedeva to do the same. I want a video interview. Crunchyroll, make it happen! Is it or not "anime of the year" according to your awards?
The kid who falls down at 3:11 killed me. Before that happend I was screaming knowing that the only common thing between Johnny and me is that we adore Victor Nikiforov. ❤
I don't normally like videos but Johnny Weir seems to be so sweet in the way he talks and so gentle with his smiles. I gotta oughta like him, and you've got a supporter I me definitely!!! (piano,violin and cello make me cry too ;-; )
literally a frozen cornfield :) johnny grew up in rural pennsylvania, and his town had no ice rinks. one winter, the cornfield behind his house froze over and he skated on it in a pair of used ice skates, weaving in and out of corn stalks. he was a natural!
Johnny is such a stand up guy. Always fun in his interviews, and electric on the ice. I also recently realized that he presents the Kentucky Derby on TV. As a dressage rider, this makes me love him even more. Love of YOI is yet another plus!
As someone who loves to ice skate, Johnny Weir was always like an idol to me, and then YOI happened and I was so in love with it, and then JOHNNY COMMENTED ABOUT IT AND I COULDNT BREATHE. My life was officially made.
Johnny Weir has been a huge inspiration to me since I saw the Vancouver Olympics when I was in high school. It's really awesome that Crunchyroll interviewed him about YOI, especially since he seems to have been an inspiration to the creator.
0:35 damn you give me so much hope! I'm gonna start figure skating when i'm 17 so maybe i'm gonna be that when i'm 21. Who knows. I want it so bad! 😍 also for my country.
This is so beautiful. My favorite ice skater talking about my favorite anime. My life will be complete if he skated to Agape or Eros, but either way I am so fudgen happy.
It was nice of him to take his time to answer those questions for us!! I would love to see him try to skate Yuri's program YURI ON ICE!! and have the same costume as well. Cause that program by it self had very hard coregraphics in it.
Johnny started skating the exact way i did he explained it word for word and tbh that really inspires me to continue because i started when i was 12 and my mom always just said that i couldn’t get anywhere with it because you would have had to start when you were like 4 so tysm Johnny for proving that you can accomplish anything ily
Honestly YOI and Johnny Weir inspired me to go skating. I did it with a friend and after hours of falling and ending up messing up my kneecaps a bit (They are okay now though lol) I finally convinced my parents to sign me up for lessons. After only 3 months I am only in basic 5, but taking private lessons to learn higher level stuff. I am currently learning my Waltz Jump.
I WANT to see him skate to either yuri on ice or Eros. Mostly yuri on ice because well that's my favourite soundtrack in the anime and he said it's his as well
I almost cried oh my god, Partially obviously because I love yuri on ice with a passion, but I'm also really into figure skating and JOHNNY WEIR AAAAAA! That was amazing! I'm so glad he and other figure skaters enjoyed Yoi, it's always amazing when something tries to portray something so important to you, and does it successfully!
3:12 "He struggles," and then a boy behind him falls on cue 😂
AHitAway 😂
AHitAway Don't forget the next comment, "But then he rises up and creates magic" :)
Woozy Whirl this is amazing
AHitAway and at 3:21 the other one falls face first lmao
HE'S GONNA RISE UP AND CREATE MAGIC!!!! （★ｏ★）
Is it me or is he super beautiful
Jennifer Hoffmann HES HOT AS FUCK
AND LOOK AT HIS SMILE OOH MY GOD I'M MELTING
***** I guess that too but i love his smile and hair a lot...i like feminine men :D
HIS EYELASHES THO!!!he pretty and such long hair
Jennifer Hoffmann his teeth.
tag yourself i'm the people falling in the background
vityanikiforova I'm the people standing on the side of the ice skating rink. *wishing they could freaking skate*
vityanikiforova not me I'm an actual figure skater 😊
I'm the ice
vityanikiforova i play hockey and i'm a 12 year old girl, I kick ass and i'm Canadian
i'm the person at 3:20
When I try to skate after watching YOI: 3:19
It looks so painful!
LEGOSHEBAFILMS XD

Those 7 dislikes are Yurio on all of his accs

Yuri Plisetsky #Yaoi4life XD omg

This. This is why YOI deserves all the love it gets. It just brought figure skating world and anime together. Professionals and casual fans love the show all the same. The love these two community shared while enjoying the show is an achievement worth more than any awards it can get.
Sapphire Maiden it's not the only anime with figure skating there are several anime involving ice skating and where's the fame in that?
How could it bring figure skating and anime together when it divided the anime community?
Matthew Shannon Well, anime fans, specifically haters themselves will decide that. If you hate a certain show, and spread the hate, then you are the reason the anime community is dividing, not the show itself.
Sapphire Maiden
Yuri on Ice has its appeal but is far from perfect, hence the differing opinions amongst casuals and critics. There will always be haters, but they are not the only reason.

"I think I made a good choice, cause four years later I was a junior world champion, HA!"

*I was too distracted by Johnny's beaut that I didn't notice the people falling on their faces and butts behind him. Lmfao.*

That kid that fell at 3:12 is going to be a future ice skating champion. Called it!
Tru
Like a fucki n anime or somth
That girl that fell a little bit after he did will be the tastiest pork cutlet bowl anybody has ever seen...
"He strugles" - Johnny Weir
Tony Flamingo I laughed at that a little too much
the actual champion is going to be the guy at 3:20
Can you hear my heartbeat?
Infires Man no
Yes
No, but I can hear mine
Yeah, but I'm just tired of feeling never enough
I close my eyes and tell myself that my my dreams will come true
when Johnny say "vkusno" and "amazing" he sounds just like Viktor ❤ btw I can't stop watching those people falling behind XD so funny
SONGS JOHNNY WEIR SHOULD SKATE TO
1. EROS
2. AGAPE
3. DUETTO
PLEASE 😭
Duetto???
i watched the whole series more than 4 times and still i don't remember that being part of yoi.
don't forget welcome to the madness 😂
HE SKATED AGAPE AAAAAAAAAAA
@@sanjanashanker7960He didn't, it's a montage. Fits very well though.
I will click on anything with Johnny Weir or Victor Nikiforov's face and you managed to seduce me twice. Thanks, Crunchyroll.
How could anyone dislike this?
Taylor Cypcar
1. salt because of the anime awards
2. that's it.
Like THIS! *clicks dislike button*
It's boring
windtear so true XD
GeckoGC how long are people's attention span nowadays?
Johnny Weir is a cool guy
The people falling at 3:12 and 3:19 tho lmao
Such a lovely person! That was very impressive, to hear his point and I'd love to see this man trying to skate on Agape or Eros one day!
Nico di Angelo He did! Its on his instagram, check it out its *cue Victors voice here* AMAZING

This was lovely! My huge Yuri On Ice bias aside I really enjoyed this interview, Johnny is such a charismatic person and seeing him answer the questions with so much enthusiasm was great! :D

I love you
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM. FAVORITE SKATER + YOI = I'M GOING TO START CRYING
Ariana Sanchez LETS ALL CRY TOGETHER
Yay Johnny! He skates at my little sister's rink and performs in the showcase fundraiser there every year (the rink's a nonprofit).

The YOI love is still going strong! If you haven't watched the whole season yet - check it out for free on Crunchyroll. www.crunchyroll.com/yuri-on-ice
anybody try and tell me there is actually any sweeter than that ahhhhh when he smiles when he say arigato i just fucking adore him
He is seriously one of my favorite skaters and he does this 😭😭😭⛸⛸⛸⛸❤❤❤ I'm crying tears of joy especially when he said his favorite part was that I'm crying 😭😭😭😭
Bless everyone who fell in the background of this video.
I'm just lmao at the people falling in the background. XD
the face plant was totally worth watching this vid hahaha
When he said, "Vkusna!" and "Amazing!", he totally sounds like Victor. 💛
This man is precious.
It’s so comforting knowing that he started when he was twelve. At first my parents were hesitant to support my dreams about skating because most start from a young age. He proves that four years of hard work and dedication can get you to where you want to be.

I'm so glad he picked Yuri! He's really a great main character, easily relatable in his normalcy, but inspiring none the less. He definitely needs more recognition.
Any Johnny Weir, my favorite skater ever, not only representing PA but the fact that he watches YOI makes him 10 times better!!
I reeeaaally want him skate to Agape
He haahaaas! 😊
I'm wondering and hoping that the producers will model a character after Johnny in the next season, if they ever. That would be epic!!!!
Cat Huang I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Johnny spends lots of time in Japan and they LOVE him there. I keep telling him to take me with him! 😭
i honestly think it'd be possible, since they did the same with stephane lambiel (in the last ep)! i'm def sensing a collab w johnny weir in season 2~
I'm a simple person
I see Yuri!!! on Ice
I clicked
I think skating Yurios performance would really suit him 😍
Oh God he is adorable!
This boii is b e s t, always. Love you Johnny !!
Okay, now I need Stéphane Lambiel (who even made a cameo in the last ep as himself!!) and Evgenia Medvedeva to do the same. I want a video interview. Crunchyroll, make it happen! Is it or not "anime of the year" according to your awards?

I like this guy, he's so dope.
this person is so pure and ADORABLE.

his answers are so cute i'm just smiling throughout this interview!
_a frozen cornfield_
literally a frozen cornfield :) johnny grew up in rural pennsylvania, and his town had no ice rinks. one winter, the cornfield behind his house froze over and he skated on it in a pair of used ice skates, weaving in and out of corn stalks. he was a natural!
I first saw Johnny skate to poker face and I immediately loved him. After seeing him talk about Yuri on ice he is officially my favorite skater
Honestly, I think Yuri On Ice is the only anime that had so much impact on real life people.
Ariella Szczupakiewicz You must not know much about anime and cultural history
I've always loved ice skating. I've lost touch with it. And just watching Yuri on Ice, revived my love for it. Never would I attempt it, of course.
The background music of this video was heard in the 2017 "Love On Ice" movie.
Coincidence? I think not.
Thank you mr. weir for participating in this interview and crunchyroll too. I really enjoyed it 😊
I'm SHOOK Johnny hasbeen the love of my life since i was in middle school. I'm glad hes getting the recognition he deserves!!❤❤💕
he's so lovely and beautiful
"Violin, piano or cello, any of those three instruments and I'll cry"
same, same, same
Johnny is such a stand up guy. Always fun in his interviews, and electric on the ice. I also recently realized that he presents the Kentucky Derby on TV. As a dressage rider, this makes me love him even more. Love of YOI is yet another plus!
He started as an equestrian - pony hunters at Devon.
seriously how do you not fall in love with Johnny? That smile and laugh are infectious, I just wanna give him a big hug LOL
Ahhh please skate eros omg💛💛
I deadass just smiled through this entire video. I was obsessed w/ Johnny a few years ago and he's still SO BEAUTIFUL.
This is everything, thanks Crunchyroll. :) Johnny, PLEASE skate to Agapé one day. I think that the music would suit you so much.
As someone who loves to ice skate, Johnny Weir was always like an idol to me, and then YOI happened and I was so in love with it, and then JOHNNY COMMENTED ABOUT IT AND I COULDNT BREATHE.
My life was officially made.
I spent half of the video watching the ppl from the background waiting for a fall xD i loved this so much, awesome!
Johnny Weir has been a huge inspiration to me since I saw the Vancouver Olympics when I was in high school. It's really awesome that Crunchyroll interviewed him about YOI, especially since he seems to have been an inspiration to the creator.
0:35 damn you give me so much hope! I'm gonna start figure skating when i'm 17 so maybe i'm gonna be that when i'm 21. Who knows. I want it so bad! 😍 also for my country.
I didn’t noticed that Victor loved Yuri before Yuri did, thanks. It’s changing my life hahahah
"He struggles."
*Kid in the background falls.*
Johnny is so adorable! Thank you for this fantastic interview!
He's so beautiful :') both on the inside and the outside
"It's like watching family movies" just had a huge flashback to Chris's whole "I'm gonna come" thing
JOHNNY ❤
JOHNNYYYYYY
I'm so happy he watched YOI. remember him from Celebrity Cook Off on Food Network lol.
This is so beautiful. My favorite ice skater talking about my favorite anime. My life will be complete if he skated to Agape or Eros, but either way I am so fudgen happy.

More like Jean-Jacques Leroy
I loved the interview! Thank you, Johnny Weir and Crunchyroll!
3:45 everyone wants a love story like that. Yes Johnny. Everyone wants a drunk guy who can pole dance to come onto them and say "I love you!!"
I'm crying so hard right now. He's the most precious soul. ❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite skaters of all time:
1. Oksana Baiul
2. Johnny Weird
Love them both to bits.!!!
ffyukari , and Jason Brown!
It was nice of him to take his time to answer those questions for us!! I would love to see him try to skate Yuri's program YURI ON ICE!! and have the same costume as well. Cause that program by it self had very hard coregraphics in it.
that moment when he talks about Yuri, some boys fell at the back that I just cant stop laughing oh gosh
Johnny started skating the exact way i did he explained it word for word and tbh that really inspires me to continue because i started when i was 12 and my mom always just said that i couldn’t get anywhere with it because you would have had to start when you were like 4 so tysm Johnny for proving that you can accomplish anything ily
I've loved him since To Russia With Love and now he's talking about Yoi omg
Honestly YOI and Johnny Weir inspired me to go skating. I did it with a friend and after hours of falling and ending up messing up my kneecaps a bit (They are okay now though lol) I finally convinced my parents to sign me up for lessons. After only 3 months I am only in basic 5, but taking private lessons to learn higher level stuff. I am currently learning my Waltz Jump.
I WANT to see him skate to either yuri on ice or Eros. Mostly yuri on ice because well that's my favourite soundtrack in the anime and he said it's his as well
I almost cried oh my god,
Partially obviously because I love yuri on ice with a passion, but I'm also really into figure skating and JOHNNY WEIR AAAAAA! That was amazing! I'm so glad he and other figure skaters enjoyed Yoi, it's always amazing when something tries to portray something so important to you, and does it successfully!
3:18 XD THE POOR GIRL FELL FACE FIRSTTTT
Once of my favorite ice skaters and one of my favorite anime. Amazing
Ah! Interview with Johnny Weir. Thank you! And yes please, either Eros or Agape pls ^-^
is he an angel? he looks so kind and he is so talented
His eyelashes look better than my future.
That was so nice of Johnny to do this interview and help promote YOI.
