'Yuri On Ice' captures fans' hearts, hopes for sequel ASAP
What separates "Yuri On Ice" from all the other anime series is its unpredictability. While most protagonist wins and gets what they want in the series, Yuri Katsuki had to deal with embarrassment and defeat.
Yuri Katsuki had so many loser moments that fans get attached to the character for what he was dealing was also dealt by real people in real-life. Not only that, the show also tackled the subject where other anime series tried to avoid - sexuality.
This made the series much more worth watching and fans are hoping for "Yuri On Ice" season 2 to happen soon.
