Fresh out of "oh shit reg what are you doing?", I watched Yuri!! On Ice.

It was a very solid show, but it absolutely did not live up to the hype and love it got while airing. The music was very good, and the style was solid, but nothing else really got good until the second half. Then in the second half they introduced a bunch of cool character designs and gave them minimal screentime or development. (Contrasting the first half where Russian Yuri was good, Victor was fine, and everybody else was bleh)

Most notably on the character front, I felt Victor's character was held back by his relationship with Yuri. Could've been really great, but most of his interactions had to be centered around the most boring thing in the cast. I think JJ was probably the best/most entertaining character overall and would absolutely watch the hell out of a series that is him competing with Victor.

Probably a 7.5 or 8/10 overall. Firmly in the realm of good but not spectacular.
