Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san

Seirei Academy is a prestigious school attended by the very best students in Japan. Alisa Mikhailovna "Alya" Kujou, the half-Russian and half-Japanese treasurer of the school's student council, is known for her intelligence, stunning looks, and rigid personality. Contrasting her near-flawless persona, Alya's unmotivated classmate Masachika Kuze slacks off during lessons and seems to show no interest in her.

Initially irritated, Alya gradually becomes more intrigued by Masachika and starts expressing her affection for him in Russian. However, she is oblivious to his secret—he understands the language fluently! Due to a childhood friend who was temporarily staying in Japan, Masachika has been studying Russian in hopes of reuniting with her.

As the two spend more time together, the playful and eccentric relationship between them quickly deepens. In the meantime, both must learn to navigate their new growing feelings for one another.

AN AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL ROMCOM ANIME!? NO! This show is much more than that. On face value yes it is it when you get into it and understand it you’ll see what I mean.

The show has the generic romance but not a lot compared to the others this show focuses on the 2 protags working together to become president it’s a show for the long run if you’re expecting a quick turn around in relationships and a 1 season show you won’t get that but if you want to see the relationships blossom and a long term enjoyable show then give this a go ...

The romance is there but also isn’t yes she hides feelings in Russian and they go on dates but it’s not official and is your generic high school anime. The romance is similar to maid Sama back in 2014 still enjoyable and spoon feeding the viewers.

That’s what makes the show great it’s generic but also different without saying much for spoilers I do recommend the show to anyone who enjoys high school or high school romance animes

Overall is rate this show 9/10 it’s very good and I do recommend it

Mixed Feelings

First few episodes were well done, and original to a degree, with early interesting plot developments. Slightly before reaching halfway
through the series, it just fell flat and turned into a generic RomCom; it threw away a great concept for half-baked execution. If you are a
fan of RomComs and don't mind genre stereotypes and lack of seriousness, then this is a good watch sitting at 7/10. If you are looking for
a more original/serious story, there a few saving parts of the series that salvage an average 5/10.

TLDR: Potential wasted.

The whole premise of the series; speaking Russian while the boy secretly understands, is basically underutilized while the rest of the show is an almost standard romcom, hence the 5 rating. The all-too-common tropes are in there. Honestly, there is nothing fresh beyond the first episode. The sound, voice acting, and animation is fine. The story is uninteresting because...it's been done a million times before. The characters are boring, so you don't get invested, again because it's been done a million times before. I kept watching because I was hoping some fresh would happen, but it didn't. If you're a romcom fan, I ... guess it's worth a watch to get your fix but it is not worth the time imho.
