Hmm, I believe this is a misunderstanding. The stuff he cherishes is that kawaii whale figurine that Yuuri got at the marine park, and gave to Gwendal. It's part of the humour of Gwendal's position that he has a secret penchant for cute stuff like plushies (some of which he makes, himself, by hand). It's not exactly the kind of thing you normally associate with tough, no-nonsense military commanders - and therein lies the humour.

Sure, Konrad loves Yuuri - but bearing in mind the beginning of the series, I think Konrad sees himself as a sort of pseudo-parent to Yuuri, so I don't think this is romantic love. Rather, it's parental love.

Gunther is quite obviously madly devoted to Yuuri - and the love detector shows that quite clearly. But his devotion is somewhat obsessive. Gunther, incidentally, is my favourite character in the series - he is always good for a laugh, mostly because he is so absurdly easy to manipulate.

Yuuri is the only one who actually thought something was wrong in the beginning when the Wolfram was trying to hook up with him. I don't really think Yuuri wants to get married to Wolfram, but is only doing this because he kind of fell into it and doesn't know how to get out without hurting Wolfram's feelings.
That's about right.

Yeah, this show is quite popular with some of the girls I know. They like any Anime that has "good looking" male characters, apparently.
Different strokes for different folks - I personally like the show for the humour. It's not the funniest anime currently running, but it is consistently amusing.
