VerifiedI thought the episode was good, but it felt a bit rushed. They portrayed Victor as someone completely out of reach, only for him to decide to become Yuri's coach by the end of the episode. Everything else was great, though.

VerifiedAnimación fluida y química instantánea entre los protas. Presentan al trío y extras sin atropellarse. Aunque la depresión de Yuri se trata medio en broma, no esperes profundidad sobre eso en el cap. La escena del reencuentro en las aguas termales es top. ¿Ver? Sí, totalmente.

Competition can be overwhelming, and you can really feel that through Yuri this episode. There’s a really beautiful skating moment where he’s just being himself on the empty ice rink <3 The figure skating animation is really smooth + camera work and the BGM gave me goosebumps!!

Desde este primer capítulo, la priméra coreografía te transmite tanta pasión con todo, con la animación, la música, las coreografías... También me encanta como todo se te presenta desde el primer momento, los personajes, sus tramas y la historia, va dirécto a lo bueno

Yuri Katsuki retreats home to his family’s hot spring inn, unsure if his skating career is over. But when a video of him performing Victor Nikiforov’s routine goes viral, the legendary champion suddenly appears with a shocking offer.

Yuri Katsuki is a deeply relatable character, and they manage to convey the extreme anxiety he feels well through the episode. The animation is beautifully done (rotoscope!) and really shows the grace and beauty of figure skating.

Yuri Katsuki is a relatable protagonist! In this ep we see him doubt himself & his love of skating. I’ve felt that way as a creative person & artist myself! That’s why I love the moment at the skating rink when he performs Victor’s routine & starts to skate for himself again. <3

Relatable of Yuri - stopped doing what you love due & gained weight due to depression. Been there at some point.

EPISODE CONTEXT
As the series premiere of a 12-episode run, this episode exists entirely to lay groundwork — establishing Yuuri's emotional state, his relationship to skating, and the key figures in his orbit including childhood friend Yuuko and champion Victor Nikiforov. It plants the seeds for the central dynamic between Yuuri and Victor that will drive the entire season. Everything here is setup: Yuuri's crisis of confidence is the launching pad for a journey of reinvention and connection.
