Yuri!!! on Ice/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Hype Backlash: It gained a lot of attention despite gay romance being far from being a taboo on japanese animation, and sport anime fans don't consider it an exceptional sports anime either. It then proceeded to gain a lot of awards directed to western viewers like the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, generating massive backlash of the fandoms all the shows it was running against and had hope their favorite anime would win (Erased, My Hero Academia, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Re:Zero, Mob Psycho 100). As mentioned on Wikipedia, part of that can be explained by the fact it departs from most yaoi tropes. That just generated further backlash of readers and watchers from the actual genre. To make matters worse, it was also given an award for animation, which isn't said to be that exceptional either.
