Definitely some production issues with this episode. But we can forgive some wobbles Yuri On Ice, if you have good PCS!

Does CR get an older copy of the episodes or something? How does that happen in a simulcast?

(I also heard someone on tumblr say they thought the broadcast version of the hot springs scene had less steam, which doesn't make sense to me.)

They probably had to send CR a version and the corrected, broadcast version wasn't ready yet, maybe? I hope this was a catch-up episode because the animation was real rough in a lot of spots and it seemed like most of the ice skating animation was just reused stuff

I had a bunch of thoughts on the episode:
Yuri is the equivalent of Johnny Weir.
Yurio is terrified of what happens when puberty catches up to him. IIRC, a lot of figure skaters have a few bad years when this happens and they have to relearn their bodies.
Maccachin is going to die when they're away :( (I'm guessing Maccachin's about 12, which is the average.)
VIctor is an international treasure.

So glad I gave this a chance. I was hesitant at first because I got the impression it'd be more like Free! on ice based on how most people I saw were talking about it.

the production issues in this ep kinda brought me down, but i absolutely love everything going on in russia and the triplets remain adorable. it's also heartening to see yuri and viktor opening up, even if the latter is still being sabotaged by yuri idolizing him.

Loving chairs more every day!

I enjoyed this episode a lot but I feel like the animation was definitely a bit rough. I don't know if that's because of the vers Crunchyroll gets, though.

Also that Yuzuru-esque tissue box cover is the cutest goddamn thing.

Yuuri's evolution has been neat to watch. In the first episode, he called himself a dime a dozen skater in JSF, and in this one, he referred to himself as one of the top skaters. So gj Yuuri, gaining some confidence.

Until he smooches the cute boy, I don't believe they won't go "this is a totally different kind of love no homo."

It sure looks like Victor has decided his new way of surprising the audience is to make it look like he's sleeping with his student. Not that any of us are complaining.

More links, although none of them are megaposts explaining what we didn't get in this episode. Yet.
The role of the choreographer in skating
The process of drawing one of the jumps
Speculation that Victor doesn't speak Japanese, hence all of their scenes are in English

"Go on until you're stopped."
Yuri should probably keep his hair slicked up all the time; it suits him way better.

Yea Minami was great, and Yuuri was so mean to him omg.

I love how seeing someone who reminded him so much of his "dark past" (except, super excited about skating!!) kinda hosed with Yuuri's head. They didn't spell it out too much either, it just formed this drama cloud over the second half, and made the skating so good !!

The show is definitely janky in places but I still love it as is. Really wanna watch it again once we get blu-rays tho.

my favourite thing about yuuri is when, despite his flaws, his inner strength manages to wells up inside until he can finally express himself in a beautiful way

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
That episode was so good. Just... good. I mean, the skating could've been smoother, but this is TV show, so this is still pretty good.

drat, this is good. I like how he has fanboys. Which should be obvious since he was chosen for last year's Grand Prix, so he's considered possibly the best skater in Japan, but after living inside his head for 4 episodes it's was so easy to believe what he tells himself when he's depressed.
