I agree, this is a major pet peeve of mine. I can be SOMEWHAT sympathetic if it's like you've been a fan of a manga or anime long before it received an official English translation, so you are used to spelling a name a certain way. But for Yuri on Ice - for one, Yuri's name is literally in the title and everyone's name is clearly reported in English spelling.

"Yuri" isn't even really a "wrong" transliteration, since English has such variance in how we pronounce vowels, it's not automatically more correct to add the extra "u". I don't even get why we're supposed to spell Victor's name as Viktor. I get that that's a more popular transliteration from Russian, but... Russian doesn't even use our alphabet, so why can we transliterate it either way?

Transliterations from Russian to English are WEIRD, man. I had a native Russian speaker talk about "Chruschew"... Took me AGES to connect that with "Kruschev."

And let's not even start on "Tschaikowski."

Those look like good German-style transliterations.
