Yuri!!! on Ice

Yuri!!! on Ice

Yuuri Katsuki carried the hope of all Japan on his shoulders in the Figure Skating Grand Prix, but suffered a crushing defeat in the finals. He returned to his hometown in Kyushu and hid away in his family's home, half wanting to continue skating and half wanting to retire. That was when the five-time consecutive world champion, Viktor Nikiforov, suddenly showed up with his teammate, Yuuri Plisetsky, a young skater starting to surpass his seniors. And so the two Yuuris and the Russian champion Viktor set out to compete in a Grand Prix like none the world has ever seen!

Reasons you might like Yuri!!! on Ice...

HyakkiHikou HyakkiHikou says...

Beautiful animation and perfectly appropriate music. While Yuri!! On ICE has an actual story, dialogue, and advanced color palate, Endless Night is still a treat for the eyes. 

Dororo Dororo says...

This is exactly the same wonderful feeling when you watch it! Kenji Miyamoto is just a genius *_*

MageOnx MageOnx says...

Both of these shows were coreographed by the same person, Endless Night serving as a predecessor and a test drive, as well as an early concept to YURI!!! On Ice.

For those of you who watched YURI!!! On Ice, you might make the connection that Endless Night is an early concept for Japanese Yuri's infatuation with Victor and ice skating as a career. Endless Night also features a brilliantly animated pair skate between the two protagonists that fans were hoping for out of YURI!!! On Ice.

In short, if you haven't had enough of one, by all means go ahead and check the other.

FullmetalDragon FullmetalDragon says...

Both feature ice skating very heavily (unsurprisingly), with some gorgeous animation and general awesomeness. 

Nicknames Nicknames says...

Both are gorgeously-animated shows in which ice-skating is the main focus. Even if Endless Night doesn’t have much of a plot (it’s a few minutes long after all) fans of one will enjoy the other too.

Based on the figure skater Mao Asada. On July 10th, Tekken posted the full version of the video on his official YouTube channel. The story took 2,890 hand drawn sheets. Tekken originally made a short version back in 2015 but when Mao Asada announced her retirement on April 10, 2017--he decided to expand upon it by creating 5 minutes worth of additional content.
