I've been curious about this anime ever since I first heard this on Deviantart and I might give it a chance, but one question I'd like to ask is, should I watch it on Crunchyroll or just get it on DVD (I have no Blu- Ray player  )?

Well, there's always the chance that it might not be your thing, so I'd recommend the cheaper option to watch it on Crunchyroll. The anime suffers some off-scale wonky art, limited animation, and obvious shortcuts in the middle episodes, but if you've watched anime for a while then that shouldn't come as a surprise for broadcast shows. They've made lots of improvements in the physical release, but if you aren't someone that necessarily demands the highest quality all the time, the broadcast version is perfectly fine. The first episode is has gorgeous animation either way.

Thanks for letting me know (I'm used to seeing stuff like that). I'll watch it as soon as I can.

For concrete examples, the artist that drew the poster that was included in the Yuri on Life guidebook received a lot of backlash about not including the rings, and she replied that the publisher had forced her to remove it. Later on, in response to the backlash, the ring was added back on.
Furthermore, there is a production sketch sheet that shows the rings actually have an engraving on the inside with the shape of a snowflake. This has only been shown in a few cons, and the staff thought it was going to be included in the YOI Production artbook, and expressed their surprise when they learned that it was not included. Many publishers have done their utmost to cover or censor the rings, which seems a bit much for something that, according to detractors "isn't proof of gay" |
I recall that controversy and the reason I bought that fanbook (vs. the other that came out at almost the same time) and its accompanying merch was the reinstatement of the rings. I've also tried to vote with my $$ by buying official merch with the rings and find myself getting frustrated that they aren't present nearly as often as I would like (no matter what my wallet says). For example, the cover of last year's terrific calendar (the art of which has just been released also as a clear files series) also featured the rings and that was one of the reasons I bought it as well. If those designs are not your cuppa, they also just released an older Duetto image as a small set of merch. I hope we get more Duetto merch: FIGURES WOULD BE LOVELY MAPPA.
If those snowflakes make an appearance in the movie, someone may need to call 911.

This so perfectly describes what is appealing about Victor and Yuuri's relationship to me. They are such relationship goals honestly.
