Yeah, I'm a native Russian speaker and they really should have hired Zhenya Davidyuk for this role. She's an actual Russian, working as seiyu in Japan. Russian phrases in this anime sound super awkward, even though I like Sumire Uesaka enough and I know that she's a huge slavaboo herself.

I don't understand Russian, but the dialogue is expected. After all, Japanese shows are notorious for horrible English voice acting for tourists and the like.

I can't actually understand Russian, but at some point I did learn to read the writing system and can still mostly read it. I've actually been thinking of learning Russian for a while tho.

I just understand when she say "Milashka" (Милашка) and that's mean "Cute"

I'm interested to learning Russian, so far I just memorize Russian Alphabet but no smooth.

Edited: Btw I'm learning Japanese too, and I more concerned my Japanese than my Russian😅

@Sofie_Alavnir Agreed. I had to loop back and listen to her Russian lines multiple times before understanding about 80% on average what she was trying to say. Zhenya would have been much more understandable. But, given what other MAL users have said, I guess we should just be happy with what we got, especially in the times we're in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I still get a kick out of hearing any Russian in anime, so I'll keep watching even if it's not perfect.

I'm not a Russian native speaker, however, I used to learn it back in the day. Naturally, I still remember a lot. What do I think about Russian language in Roshidere anime? It feels painful to hear. "Roshiago" sounds like Engrish, just worse, due to weird pronounciation or accents sounding as if they were put in random places.

Honestly, Alya’s Russian is decent. You can tell from the pronunciation that she isn’t a native speaker, but you can understand what she’s saying most of the time.
However, all of the Russian phrases said by anyone other than her are полная хуйня. The pronunciation is so bad that you can barely understand whatever dafuq they’re trying to say, and half of the translations are completely off. Like, even Google Translate would be better at that point.
For example, in Kuze’s flashback to his childhood when he’s talking to the other Russian girl, he says “it’s Masachika” in response to the girl’s incorrect pronunciation of his name. However, if you listen to the audio, he says, «я знаю, что Масачика», which actually means “I know it’s Masachika”, which is not only a mistranslation, but it also makes no fucking sense.

@FridgeRaider23 I think, "Я знаю, что я Масачка" it's reference to "Kazuma desu" from Konosuba.
Or it's just catchphrase from japanese culture, idk.

Overall, it's pretty decent.

As a Russian speaker, I had problems understanding her the first time, sometimes I had to rewind. Even the subtitles weren't very helpful.
Also Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san 2nd Attack have the same sock wearing scene. What a coincidence.

@Sofie_Alavnir hiring va for their nationality is bad idea.. it would put a race to a voice and many problems would arise from that/// also the character was mostly raised in japan so her russian being not good is actully better

@narutosister

It's not about nationality: it's about whether or not an actor is a native speaker of the language, that the character supposed to be a native speaker of.

Also, I don't agree with the argument that the fact that Alisa was raised mostly in Japan makes the situation with her accent any better.

Judging by other comments in threads to this anime, it seems she still spent quite enough time in Russia for her accent not to be that bad.

Also I had some real experience of talking with people, who were actually raised in two different countries at once.

For example, in one of the camps, where I was as a teen,there was a Chinese boy, who spoke Russian so well, that I was genially surprised to find out that he didn't grow in Russia.

His father was some kind of businessman or something like that, if I remember correctly, so they would move from China into Russia and back all the time.

@Muhanime001 As a native Russian speaker, I will tell you that “cutie” is more of a literary expression. Almost no one in Russia uses it. Synonyms: handsome, or just cute

@Sofie_Alavnir Чушь несешь. Китайский мальчик скорее-всего посещал уроки русского языка, просто так его в лагерь врят ли бы отправили. Мы не знаем, что Аля делала в России. может быть просто общалась в кругу семьи

@Swyzen может в серии была проблема со звуком, я смотрел на половине громкости там и японский был тихий, а русская речь еще тише. Если выкрутить громкость на 100% то уже более менее понятно с первого раза.

It's mainly her pronunciation and intonation that makes me cringe, though some phrases are awkwardly constructed and subtitles for Russian often aren't correct. Well, in source material Russian aspect if just surface level gimmick and there is no actually exploration of Russian culture and language beyond saying phrases. It could be easy replaced by any other language and country and series won't change at all.

My grandma was half Russian and would speak Russian with her relatives. The rest of the family was Polish, and most of them spoke Polish. There are many words that sound the same, or are close enough that you can understand. So while I can pick out a little bit here and there, I wouldn't say I can speak or understand much Russian. I can say that the Russo-Japanese accent sounds pretty odd, though, at least to an American.
