History YMMV / YuriOnIce

** Ships with Phichit usually have "chuchu" as a part of a name ("Leochuchu", "Seungchuchu" etc) .

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Though the skating sequences can be noteworthy and the team behind the anime has clearly ShownTheirWork when it comes to the sport, what most people tend to associate with it are the high amounts of HoYay and how the boys milk their sex appeal for everything they've got.

** Don't mistake ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' for a [[YuriGenre Yuri anime]] based on the title unless you want to be beaten to death by both ''YOI'' fans and {{Yuri fan}}s. Beyond the fact that it isn't a Yuri anime (the main romance is between two men), the "Yuri" on the title refers to the main male protagonist Yuri, not the genre itself.[[note]]This is largely an English-only misconception, as In Japanese, "Yuri" in ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' is written as ユーリ, while the genre is written as 百合 or, in rarely-used katakana, ユリ, meaning there is no confusion in Japan like in the West.[[/note]]

* FandomEnragingMisconception: Many figure skating fans do not take kindly to ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' fans stating that real-life skaters ''are'' the ''YOI'' characters. Yuzuru Hanyu is most often subjected to this, thanks to his physical resemblance to Yuri and the occasional sensual program in his repertoire.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Save yourself a bit of time and just match up each skater to the country they're supposed to be from.

** One definitely arose with ''Anime/No6'' after Episode 7 aired. Whenever someone mentions ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' being groundbreaking for [[spoiler: making the main leads into a canon pairing]], expect a ''No. 6'' fan to point out that Nezumi and Shion's relationship was established in a similar way several years earlier. Of course, some fans on either side try to defuse the conflict by saying that ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' is the first ''mainstream'' anime to have a canonical gay male romance between its leading pair. ''No. 6'' is well-known among the LGBT+ community and yaoi/BL circles despite being marketed as a sci-fi dystopia, but, for various reasons, the show never picked up the same momentum outside of the mentioned demographics. ''Yuri!!! on Ice'', on the other hand, managed to amass an insane amount of popularity before Episode 7 even aired, and [[spoiler:the kiss]] only doubled it.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The source of the FandomRivalry with ''Anime/No6'' is the fact that it has been pointed out that the anime is not as groundbreaking as it seems, since ''No. 6'' had already [[spoiler:featured a QueerRomance between the main characters, even though the series isn't of the BoysLove genre]]. Although this is true, ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' is a far more well-known and more mainstream anime that adopted a greater focus on [[spoiler: the romance between two men]], so it's still pretty groundbreaking.

*** Some had argued that while the votes are indeed biased because ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' aired late in the year, then the same rule would apply for any other popular anime that would air in the Fall season, which is when the Anime Awards would normally start (e.g. if ''Anime/ReZero'' aired in the Fall season and ''Yuri!!! on Ice'' aired in the Summer season, then the former would have dominated the polls the same way the latter did). They added to that argument, stating that the detractors wouldn't complain about the results if the likes of ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'' and ''Anime/ReZero'' won all the categories instead.

* StockParodyJokes: Joking that the show should be called "Yaoi on Ice" instead.
