I'm Going To Become A Super Tasty Pork Cutlet Bowl.
Your task is to cleverly deduce, from Rei's beautiful song (to the tune of Cabaret's 'Two Ladies'), what we've been watching lately:
Deedly dee-dee-dee, two Yuris,
Deedly dee-dee-dee, two Yuris,
Deedly dee-dee-dee, and I'm the only Victor.
Deedly dee-dee-dee, I like it,
Deedly dee-dee-dee, they're less keen...
We're three episodes in!
Yuri!!! on ICE is both very cute and very odd. Strangely, I think the character I'm most emotionally invested in might be the hostile fifteen-year-old who's incapable of walking past a tiger T-shirt without buying it, taking a selfie and posting it on Instagram. Although I'm very charmed by Yuri (er, Yuri Katsuki; this is going to be tricky) getting flustered around Victor. And of course Victor is constantly being as flustering as possible. Give the poor boy a moment's peace!
About six weeks ago, I was challenged to write a Yuri!!! on ICE fic without having seen a single episode, using only the bits and pieces I'd picked up from other people talking about it. What I produced was this:
Victor pirouetted on the ice, his possibly silver hair whipping gracefully around him. Yuri gazed with longing from the edge of the rink. How could he dare to ask this legendary performer to tutor him in the ways of skating? It seemed impossibly arrogant.
Yuuri, who was not Yuri but a small child who nobody was allowed to ship with anyone, skipped merrily past as small children do.
Suddenly, Victor pirouetted straight up to Yuri! Yuri had no idea how to react. This man was his hero. How could Victor stoop to notice someone like him?
He had even less of an idea of how to react when Victor seized him and dipped him in a deep kiss. Yuri's glasses fell off and shattered on the ice.
"Let me tutor you," Victor purred. "Also, let's get married."
"O-okay," Yuri stammered. "Can I get my glasses fixed first?"
"No," Victor breathed fondly.
Now that I've actually seen some of this show, I'm impressed by my own accuracy. Well, merry skipping aside. Literally the only thing I knew about Yuri Plisetsky was that there were big arguments about whether it was morally wrong to write shipfic about him (it's not), so I didn't have much to work from there. He'd be furious if he saw this.

(Both of those examples are pretty dark, though, so I'm not necessarily recommending them if you're on the hunt for more short series. I don't know how dark your tastes run.)
I hope you enjoy Yuri!!! on ICE, if you do watch it! (I probably don't need to do the exclamation marks and capitalisation every time I write the title, but they amuse me.)

I actually decided to watch Princess Tutu after seeing the AMV of it called "Hold Me Now"-- really if you haven't seen that AMV, you need to give it a looksie; it's the most metal Princess Tutu AMV I've ever seen.
And I recall Madoka being one of the last animes I've ever watched (well aside from Tales of Zestiria the X which I watched with my boyfriend and of course Sailor Moon Crystal). Anime isn't really a priority for me anymore since I have so many other things that I have to/want to do-- and anime doesn't rank up there (but video games-- aw yeah!)
Thanks for the recommendation! Maybe this weekend-- maybe (here's hoping!)
