"Do you like the show so far?"
There hasn't been a single episode I've disliked. Even the skating bits are still interesting and I haven't gotten bored of them yet.
"What do you like about it?"
It doesn't even have anything to do with the skating (even though the outfits are amazing) I LOVE the characters and want to see what happens with all of them.
"Which characters do you like or dislike?"
The only characters I really dislike are JJ, because he's too arrogant, and Christophe scares me. My favorites are that younger boy with the bit of red in his hair that idolizes Yuri (so cute) and the younger Yuri really grew on me. He's so cranky all the time but actually a good person!
"How do you think it's going to end?"
I actually have no idea. Obviously someone's going to take home gold and there's quite a few who are likely to do it. I do doubt that it's going to be Yuri, though. Too much rattles him.
"Am I the only one who's concern about Chris and that he might need to speak to someone about his unhealthy sexual attraction to ice?"
No. That creeped me out a lot.
I haven't finished the dubbed version of Episode 9 yet but that scene is hands-down one of my favorite scenes of the series. Like the episode before he's saying he doesn't know anyone and he's not friendly with them but the end of the following episode, he's running around hugging everyone.
Same here, I've watched every sub episode now and I'm so happy with how it turned out. It's been a while since I've been able to get into a new anime that is outside an Otome style one or a sports anime (I think this is a sports anime but it doesn't have that feel to it)
The characters are the best part. They have VERY different personalities and different reasons for skating/skating their short programs and free skates of their choosing.
I'm sure there are JJ fangirls out there but I really hate him. I think it's his ego I hate the most about him, though.
Chris is definitely a perv but he's kinda grown on me (a bit... not that much though).
My favorite (outside the main three characters) are Mickey (I dunno why he just kinda clicked with me), Phichit (Captain Phichit is just so fucking cute >w<), Emil (super robot man who ain't afraid of Mickey), and Minami (the kid you were talking about, he's SOOOOOOO fucking CUTE!!!!!!)
Georgi.... I'm unsure what I think of him.... Like he needs someone to help him with his make-up bro.
I know how it ends so I can't say anything about it >.>
And yeah, I was sitting there going 'What the fuck?!' the first time I saw it. I'm still very uncomfortable about it.
But this is definitely a show I encourage others to watch and I'm glad you've been enjoying it Hexy.
