I could have done with fewer skating sequences from one-off nobodies (was I expected to care about that guy who loved his sister or whatever?), or at least shorter sequences. If they hadn't stretched their resources animating so many goddamn programs, they might not have had to recycle so much animation when it came time for the characters we actually cared about to skate.

I mean, I agree sort of, in that some of the characters were pretty lame (like the guy who loved his sister... what). The American guy was kind of boring, too. But I did like some of the side characters a lot so was really into their mini-stories. Phichit, the Thai skater, can have his own spin-off series as far as I'm concerned lol

Oh my god Phichit was the best, but even he wasn't developed enough! I get what you mean, that they wanted to play it close to the chest re: who advances, but I really think they should've cut their losses on that end and just focused on the Grand Prix group from the start. Fleshed them out even more, established each of them as a credible threat like JJ. Were we really supposed to fear that Yuri and Yurio wouldn't make it to the GP, like come on!

(Until you brought him up just now, I legit had forgotten there was even an American skater, lol. Really, him, Chinese guy, Korean guy, siscon guy... they could all have been axed and I wouldn't have wept.

[(Anonymous)]

I literally only remember the Chinese guy because he was adorable. haha But yes, lots of other forgettables. I reckon it was both so you wouldn't know who would advance (though even JJ wasn't introduced until toward the end of the series, since he wasn't in Yuri's rounds) - but also they tried to make it more of a show about ice skaters in general. Even though Yuri/Victor/Yurio were obviously the leading trio, I think they wanted give more solidarity to professional skaters in general and how they each have their own dreams and goals, etc.

Which doesn't inherently bother me, except that there should've been more time with the actual protagonist. I wouldn't have minded more fun, in-between-rounds episodes like episode 10 or 11 (forget which it was) when all the skaters went out together. I think seeing their dynamics together was way more fun than just having backstories shoved at you.

Really hope there is a season 2, at least then they won't need to introduce a bunch of new characters since they have a large enough cast already, and maybe we can finally get more development from the major players.
