I've watched a lot of anime in my time, so I consider myself to be kind of an expert when it comes to judging them and determining what aspects of the show truly gives it some quality. Not every anime is a winner -- and there are some among those winners that are able to completely blow you away -- but "Yuri on Ice" is not one of those animes. In fact, I'd argue that it's probably THE worst anime you could ever watch.
Though it's only been out since October 2016, the 12-episode sports anime quickly gained attention and enthralled thousands. Still, I am here to tell those of the YOI fanbase that they are wrong. "Yuri on Ice" is the worst anime of all time, and here's why:
1. Firstly, there are NO. ATTRACTIVE. CHARACTERS.
Zero.
None, whatsoever.
2. The dialogue is pretty forgettable.
I mean, seriously.
3. So, you can forget about the Canon Couple having any cute chats.
4. If you can even root for the CC.
5. It may be hard to root for anyone, really, because all of the characters are detestable.
No, really. All of them suck pretty badly.
6. Speaking of sucking, the visuals aren't all that great either.
7. And don't even get me started on the opening theme .
8. Or the animation.
9. But that doesn't compare to the plot of the anime. I mean, who wants to watch figure skaters?
10. This show couldn't ever even be classified as a comedy.
11. Yuri on Ice DEFINITELY refuses to conform to the heteronormative narrative.
And it's male characters are far from typical.
Which is just weird.
12. And it won't bother taking the time to portray the importance of a healthy relationship and effectively communicating through anxiety, because this show is the worst.
13. And it DEFINITELY won't end with a smile, and you begging for more.
See what I mean? Hands down, the worst.
Now that I've gotten your attention and reeled you in -- it was #8, wasn't it? -- you can go check out this ice skating "monstrosity" here .
