Yeah the romance really hits the target.

I just hope child p*** enjoyers won't flame and down rate the anime only because they could see Alya's underwear only in episode 1

The three shows (Russia-go, comedy Kaguya and serious Kaguya) are all completely different. Russia-go and comedy Kaguya are way better than serious Kaguya.

agreed. kaguya-sama for me has always been between 8 and 9 since the first season. This show is very different. The first ep was a 7, pretty ok. the second one was very funny, so maybe an 8, the third one I thought fell a little and went in a very predictable direction. I believe that in the end it will be a good anime, but nothing more than that.

Nothing comes close Love is War nothing ever will be.
Horimiya is very good too.
This is too early to put it on same level it's not best romcom this season (imo). But it has very similar vibes to Love is war with the whole student council thing

Kaguya-sama can get quite repetitive sometimes, and the comedy doesn't always land imo

Kaguya’s humour centred on the 3rd party narration and a series of schemes and counter schemes. It was pure genius.
Alya is more direct with inner monologues and on-the-fly cleverness. Also excellent so far.
I couldn’t choose a favourite when one is only 4 episodes old, ask me after a few more seasons…
But I suppose I feel the same at this point.

Nah, unfair comparison. I’d compare Kaguya to Clannad: After Story, but not Alya. It’s a good series, but the gap between Alya and Kaguya is pretty big lmao.
It'll all be okay in the end. If you're not okay, it's not the end.

For some people, like me, comparing any show to Kaguya-sama anime can be seen as thrashing the compared series, kekw. Rude.

Anyway, in my opinion, so far Roshidere has represented better balance of humor, cutesy and romance than Kaguya-sama in its first episodes, but it's all the matter of one's preference, of course.

@Adnash They are 2 different shows, so it isn't really fair to compare them. For me though, what really set Kaguya-sama apart was the Dub. Ian Sinclair as the Narrator took it from enjoyable to HELP! I NEED O2 NOW hysterical! The Sub guy was a bit dry. A few of the jokes didn't land at all for me, like "Kei was in her rebellious Phase." Meh. Versus "She's a Mother Flippin' Tsundere!" ROFLMAO Anyway this show has it's own humor unique to it. Though today felt like they might have been going for a bit of melodrama in the first half.

The recency bias is crazy with this one lol. First 2 ep were decent, but ep 3 was one of the most boring ep, I have seen recently. Almost felt like I was watching Shikimori ep, which is the most bland and dull rom com anime. Ep 4 was also not that good. Although it is light novel adaptation but the ep 3 and 4 dialogues and character writing are the weakest point of this anime so far. After watching ep 4 it is pretty clear that Alya can't carry the ep alone anymore, the series needs more involvement of the side characters like ep 2.

If you ignore the part that Alya is presented as really cute anime girl( which is the reason most the people are watching the series right now) Alya as a character is so boring. Usually the flashback episodes helps to flesh out character, we feel more attach and sympathy for the character but in the case of Alya it was opposite because the flashback was so boring and cheap. The series will get more and more annoying, if they continue to use the flashback in the upcomming episodes.

For the people who have read the novel, is this anime a harem? Or a love triangle? I see a lot of girls on the cover pic.

Unless it's an all-female cast, usually, many girls on the cover pic means the series is just your run the mill harem or a love triangle garbo slop.

@grumpy_wolf It's neither.

@Youssef1312 It is not fair to compare both, for starters, people have YET to see the best parts of Roshidere, the drama will go up a lot.

Sure the comedy isn't as good as Kaguya, but it is almost as good, the anime is only at the start, I have read till volume 6, and since volume 3, almost one volume per day, because the LN is that good, it just got better and better.

The first two volumes are arguably the weakest, when more characters get the spotlight and people start to understand the MC better, this will be an insane engaging romcom.

The highs of volume 3 and volume 6 are PEAK, and volume 4 has to be one of the most funny shits I ever read.
I do prefer people to underestimate this series, I did do, it just makes the surprises all the better.

This is definitely not an harem, while other girls might have feelings for the MC, it is mostly well addressed, and he will end with Alisa.
If you want a romantic anime to have a strong pair to ship, you are not going wrong with this, and I have seen spoilers up to volume 8, Masachika will end with Alisa by the end.
This will never be a wicest, and he will never go for Masha.
Dont skip this because you think it is a harem, you wont get that feeling from this after S1 ends, it would be a waste to skip such a quality romcom, that will also go to lengths to make you care for the character and be emotionally invested.

First two episodes I would have agreed that it rivals Kaguya-sama, episode 3 fell a bit off though. We'll have to see after it concludes.

@The_Keyman-1
Well, recency bias is always a thing and every anime gets it. I think romance/romcoms are hit even harder with recency biases because some peoples experience with the romance genre might be recent due to meteoric popularity what was kaguya. So, while I think this is a par for the course romcom, others might not have seen the 100s of other romance anime out and watch this and being wowed since its different take on a romcom compared to kaguya.

@Playcool i appreciate taking the time to write all that but I'll pass

In my books, love triangles are just as bad as harems and sometimes even more annoying due to the drama and melodrama that will most certainly come up in the future.

It ain't a love triangle, though.

@Playcool I love Roshidere to death. Just thinking about the characters, listening to the OP fills me with otherworldly happiness that is too great to put it into words.
