[Spoilers] Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian - Episode 12 Discussion

The first 4-5 episodes were really great, i'm very disappointed it turned into being so focused on the boring student council elections and melodrama. The PVs for the show also made it seem like it was going to be entirely about the two main lead's and the comedy that ensued from Alya not knowing he could understand russian.

Hopefully we get a 2nd season and its more focused on the comedy aspects

The first season was good and the ending was a bit disappointing. I hope there is a second season because good things will come since I have read the light novel xd I won't give spoilers but there is a scene on the beach and if they animate it it would be good fan service.

To anyone who enjoyed this show, the manga does it better in terms of the comedy and I'd say it's worth reading from the start. Alya acts different than in the anime and they did scenes different, in the manga, when Kuze was changing Alya's stockings, she sat at an open window and Kuze's friends walked in and when they hid behind the curtains it looked like they were having sex xD So you'd not be watching the same thing, in the manga they have scenes that were not in the anime at all. The art is also BEUTIFUL imo, Alya somehow looks way better than in the anime but that may just be me.
So I highly recommend to read it if you like reading manga, not telling you to read it if you don't like manga :)

This anime is such a waste of time lol

yea the final episode was alright, Alya's speech was better than yuki's, but kuze was the one who stole the show. But Idk, I still think yuki will end up winning. Please don't spoil anything unless you put the spoiler tag, so idk who actaully wins in the LN. I think the reason why I still think yuki will win is cus with alya, besides the debate we had several episodes ago, alya doesn't really do any student council stuff or anything that can be viewed by the student body. Ik there was the morning announcements, but we saw that yuki dominated her there, and the sports team problem, kuze did the work. And there is the fact that yuki has previous experience as the junior high/middle school president (and also the fact that yuki > alya). But as of now, I just don't think alya has enough the beat yuki. But alya is the lead, and season 2 starts with summer break then the voting, so something could happen. Still enjoyable show

I didn't care much for the student council elections, but I thought it was cool seeing Yuki and Kuze tryna outsmart each other. Great season tho, will definitely be watching season two

Of course you would watch the second season

A fine adaptation but honestly lacked most of the charm the LN's has, so kinda mild for me (especially all what is vol 3) Maybe S2 will be better, or maybe it will keep being a washed down version, who knows.

75/100

Commentor said they would kiss in the last episode. I want a refund.

I feel like Alya's character would've been so much better if she wasn't tsundere-ish. That way we could've had so many more exciting moments.

This show was hot. 10/10

Excellent first half but the later half was too overthrown by the student council stuff that it just kinda went out with a fizzle rather than a bang. Regarding the 12th episode, while I did find the drama pretty entertaining, there was more to be desired in the romance department. Entertaining at the beginning but does not keep the momentum, definitely will be there for the 2nd season tho! 7.3/10

btw the part in russian was the same as the beginning of her speech in japanese afterwards

I expected more from this, there was barely any plot and it was stretched to 12 episodes despite it could have fitted 6-7 and be less boring.

Roshidere felt like a romcom meticulously engineered in a lab.
It was so high effort across the board. I'm glad I was able to watch it.
100 Years of Russian Girl Anime.

While it was not the greatest show this season, I would say I enjoyed game of waifu thrones overall. I didn't expect it to suddenly turn into school political drama since I went in expecting a lighthearted romcom.

Truthfully it felt like it had way too much production value for what it ended up being, but I don't think I hate that fact at all. Still reeling from the fact we got a second season announced immediately...

Love it! It definitely didn't end as strong as it started, but I'm still a sucker for the character dynamics. So excited for season two, although I'll probably end up reading the manga...

Masachika's been so much more of a convincing "prodigy child" than the usual trash like ayanokoji hyped up by edgelords

Wait, reading these comments, people wanted LESS substance? wtf?

Honestly can't remember the last time I watched a show that fumbled this bad. 70% of this season was a complete waste of time.

The thread "Review" and its comments have been merged into this thread.

You can view the merged thread's body below:

This episode was boring that I felt like Krusty in that Simpsons scene where Gerald Ford is rambling (and he makes faces while "BORING!" flashes on screen).

I don't usually watch school romcoms, not my genre. This one was easy, I didn't notice how the time flew by. And, of course, as your culture is represented by such a beautiful girl, you feel warm at heart. I'm looking forward to the second season!

God bless you

How to make an anime without plot.

absolutely one of the best romcoms, that have come out.!

While not the best episode it was sufficiently well for what it set out to do. The debate itself was flat compared to the past few episodes but the last few minutes of the episode turned that around. The character weren't messing around with their facial expressions, debates are serious business. I hope the next season can pick up the pace and continue to be as good as the first half of the season.

I do wish this ended with a bit more of an oomph, but maybe S2 will. That being said, I don't think I'll watch S2 since I was hoping S1 got us at least one of these:

• Him confessing he understands Russian
• Mariya confessing that she knows who Masachika is from the past
• Masachika and Alisa getting closer together than just "you can use my first name"

That being said, seeing a different side of Yuki and Masachika (especially him) near the end was kind of exhilarating, giving a peek into the person that can emerge when he's putting in 100% effort.

It wasn't bad, but I think that's the end of my time with this.

the series was ok. there are some things that were overused, like the secret that she is his sister, then the unnecessary focus on this student council election, actually i was expecting a sweet flirty romance story, but the ending was... disappointing. i hope s2 shows more.
