Yuri!!! on Ice is an original anime directed by Sayo Yamamoto, who previously directed Michiko & Hatchin and Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. It was co-created by Yamamoto with Mitsurou Kubo (creator of Again!! and Moteki), who is also responsible for the writing and original character designs. Tadashi Hiramatsu, who's best known for his work on several Studio Gainax series, serves as lead character designer.

Yuri Katsuki has always idolized famous Russian figure skater Victor Nikiforov, and dreams of one day being able to skate on the same ice as him. Unfortunately, when he finally gets his chance to do so, he messes up in his free skate, coming in dead last at the Grand Prix Final in Sochi. To add insult to injury, similarly-named Russian junior champion Yuri Plisetsky tells him to just give up already.

Victor then shows up at Yuri's family hot spring, declaring that he will now be Yuri's coach for the upcoming Grand Prix.

Not to be confused with the Yuri Genre; quite the opposite, in fact, given that the predominant romantic themes are between two men. This has led to some fans joking that it ought to be named "Yaoi!!! On Ice", instead, though it isn't strictly Yaoi Genre, either, despite its queer themes.
