READ: 11 of the best and most fabulous Boys’ Love characters in anime today Of course, you have the rabid fans who love Victor and Yuri, and insist on calling Yuri on Ice!!! a Boys’ Love anime.Īfter all, in a typical BL anime series, the idea that two of the main male characters are in love with each other would be obvious, and not left as entirely ambiguous like it is throughout most of Yuri on Ice!!!Įspecially when there are subtle hints the pair may have already kissed and spent the night together, but the hints are so casual, if you blink you will miss them. In fact, what Yuri on Ice!!! is for anyone hoping for a gay-positive anime or a Boys’ Love series is a whole lot of nothing and, in my opinion, a bit of a disappointment.
Neither can the anime be called yaoi or a shounen-ai.
