Their mentor–apprentice relationship soon blossomed into romance, which is one of the reasons why fans are still looking forward to more of their figure skating adventures together as Yuri continues to aim for his dream to win and make his mark in the world of figure skating.
The series has received a favorable response from the anime-loving community as well as from professional skaters themselves who have even commented on the realistic depiction of the sport featured in the series.
American figure skater, Johnny Weir has reportedly commented that what made "Yuri!!! on Ice" a good show was not just the skating, but also the fact that the people behind the anime really seemed to know their stuff.
"It's such a good show and there's so much good things from the figure skating world in the show that you wouldn't—if you're just a casual fan—you wouldn't know, but for us, the skaters, you see one storyline and you can see something from your life or your friend's life," Weir has been quoted as saying.
The upcoming movie will be produced by Mappa Studios. As of the moment, there are still no further details released regarding possible plot points. More updates will hopefully be revealed when production finally begins sometime in the near future.
Fans are also still awaiting a possible second season announcement.
