It was produced by MAPPA, directed and written by Sayo Yamamoto, scripted by Mitsuro Kubo, and under the chief direction of Jun Shishido. “Yuri On Ice!!!” is an original animation that premiered on October 6th, 2016. It’s not a piece of queer media about being gay per se, but one that allows queer characters to simply exist in their own complex realities. The show intimately deals with bigger issues, like overcoming insecurities, general self worth, and confidence. Similar to “Given,” a show I talk about in more depth in my previous Gays In Anime piece, “Yuri On Ice!!!” is a show in which the characters have complex, stand-alone arcs separate from their sexual identities. “Yuri On Ice!!!” is probably the most well known modern anime acclaimed for its LGBTQ+ themes and characters.
