not above anon, and you know that Kubo's gone on record stating that that wasn't meant as a marriage proposal, right? Kinda like, oh I don't know, how the show doesn't treat it like a marriage proposal either, but rather like some stupidly romantic-looking thing meant for the fangirls to giggle over and make fanart about.

Can you link anon? Am curious as did not finish the show as not my thing and watched only for figure skating as mum's translator. However, Viktor is Russian and Russian's would never, ever do such gestures. In addition, Russian skaters interpretted it same way so if it was not intentional then ... it is weird.

it's in the post-finale interviews at the bottom. It seems that she put it in as fanservice for BL fangirls that they would be free to interpret as gay, while she never intended for it to REALLY be a same-sex romance. It IS weird.

It is weird indeed and to add to more weird - we are from Poland and it was widely popular there plus we had access to Russian commentary and no one would have thought it was fanservice. Could be due to how anti-gay skating used to be (still is but few same gender duos did manage to go into official competitions in last few years). Are the manga authors same as show script or it is just same team?

For people who follow anime for women, it's par for the course to see good-looking male characters have intense relationships with homoerotic overtones. Yuri on Ice is different in that where others have left it at "really REALLY good friends", this one takes the homo level to over nine thousand but doesn't confirm that it IS, then goes out and says afterwards that it's totally a deep but platonic coach-athlete relationship. It looks super weird even for those of us who are used to it. To people not familiar with the anime tactic of keeping the fangirls watching by giving them slashy bits to squee over, it's probably hard to understand how two guys exchanging rings can be anything less than what it looks like.
