It was produced by Studio MAPPA, which has brought us other fandom favorites like Zombieland Saga and the Kakegurui series.ĭirector Sayo Yamamoto has worked on big-name titles like Death Note and Ergo Proxy, and has given multiple interviews about the fan following of Yuri!!! on ICE.
The series made waves internationally after its release, and even created parallel hype in the real-life figure skating world. The anime focuses on a group of male figure skaters training through the beginning of the competition season to see who has what it takes to land on the podium. Yuri!!! on ICE is a heart-warming sports anime that debuted and took the world by storm in 2016.
