| i really liked the added effort of making her time in russia, well, Russian. i am quite sad that they didn't include their dance, i was looking forward to it after seeing how fluid it was in the op. |
 |
| little backstories here and there. pretty typical stuff but has some nice additions to basic developments that make it more interesting. the sister seems to be a bit too interested in mc especially considering they make it sound like she has a boyfriend but i think it's pretty obvious this "sa-kun" was probably mc when he was younger based on the locket picture and the name. could be interesting to see if she's just overly friendly or if there's gonna be some rivalry there |

| Got some good background information in this episode with finding out that Masachika and Yuki's parents did indeed divorce and it looks like Yuki got her last name from her step dad. Also, got a reveal that Alya has a sister, Masha, whom is most likely Masachika's Russian childhood friend and I think Masha has already realized that. I think that both Masha and Yuki will end up teasing both Alya and Masachika since they both know Alya likes him but I'm not completely sure if Masha will pull more moves of her own like she did in the tea shop (maybe that was more teasing). |
| I'm loving this, but man is everyones accent when speaking Russian bad lol. Although it does kinda add to the charm of the anime. Anyway I'm really glad to see some backstory on how Kuze and Alya met. And the scene where his father talks about divorce answers the question why Kuze and Yumi have different last names which I was wondering last episode. Also it's all but confirmed who the Russian girl from Kuze's childhood was. |
| It's ineresting that Oshi no Ko and Arya had episodes released today with a surprising number of similarities. They both featured a character who was overworking themselves and needed a friend to show them that cooperation is key. What I'm about to say might be controversial, but I enjoyed Arya's episode more, even thought I think Oshi no Ko's is better quality-wise. So in the end I would rate them about the same. (I'm not sure if this was the right forum for this comment, I just wrote it on the one I watched second. I thought it was an interesting coincidence regardless, so I wanted to post it somewhere.) |
| We found out how Alya and Kuze met and that Alya's older sister is that Russian girl that Kuze learned Russian from in the same episode. |
 " |
| ROSHIDERE'S START ! This episode was a masterpiece I had the exact same feelings reading their past when watching it. And for Masha the way they adapted the thing is just so perfect.  |
| Its kinda weird to think that this wholesome show is actually a incest harem,π |
 |
| Sweet episode again, i love this season with good romance shows! |

| this episode was really cute! we now know the backstory to alya and masachika and how they met, the folk dance scene was so pretty. |
 |
| Hmm it's indeed a very interesting episode. Let them cook! |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |

I think the dance in the OP is ballet. Not sure tho, don't know anything about dancing.
Omg the handwriting on the board in the flashback is perfect. It's exactly how they taught us to write (And I feel like I'm the only one who still writes Russian like that). Also while the pronunciation in that whole segment was awkward, the actual sentences, grammar etc. were really natural. With how much unnatural English I see in Japanese media, this is really surprising.
It is true that in Russian you can make pretty much any noun a diminutive and make it sound more "affectionate" and "cute".
22:10 Here he switched from ε (boku) to more rough δΏΊ (ore) (both meaning "I, me"), which I guess means that he's acting tough.
ALYA GET YOUR MAN FAST HE'S ABOUT TO GET STOLEN
Changing EDs every episode was completely unexpected btw, now I'm really looking forward to each one.
Yeah, this anime is gold, I'm absolutely loving it.

Reply to Ridwanbtw
Felt kinda rushed, I’ve read the manga and there the prep for the cultural festival was longer and more detailed which imo was better
| @Ridwanbtw No, the pacing was almost perfect. Remember, the anime follows the source material, the LN. They did such a great job with this episode. Would've been immaculate had they animated Alya & Kuze's dance. |

| Kuze is smooth as hell man with Alya in that flashback, Finally a mc in a romance anime which isnt lame as hell with your various exceptions like the dude from the angel next door spoils me rotten or Izumi from Hormiya. Alya's sister is a fun clutz, That flashback in one of the earlier episodes I assumed was Kuze and Alya as kids but after this episode that's obviously Alya's sister and she clearly remembers Kuze. I may be wrong but I swear in that scene they spoke Russian to each other which means Masha would know that Kuze knows Russian. I was curious why Kuze would hide that from her but I guess it could be a problem and lead to Alya eventually realising that Kuze knows Russian. I just know when she realises that scene will be hilarious. |

| Her sister is awesome addition! 100% someone will get heartbroken... |
| Oh god, Russian in this episode was horrible. Couldn't understand shit without subtitles. Alya VA did a better job, for sure, as expected. (meat vendor sounded very good too, though he said like 2 words lol) Alya's sister turns out to be the Russian childhood friend of Masachika. I'm sure she did the tea-drop at the end on purpose to lure him in her home maybe :D Wonder if she'll find out he's hiding knowing Russian. Then, wonder if she'll reveal who she is, or keep it a secret and root for Alya x Masachika ship. |

aurora_yuuki said: Π½ΠΈΡΠ΅Π³ΠΎ ΡΡ Π½Π΅ ΠΏΠΎΠ½ΠΈΠΌΠ°Π΅ΡΡ :)So you are from Russia? Nope lol. I'm like Masachika in this case. |
DragyG said: :D Yeah, I mean something had to hit the mark.I love how I can say you hitted the mark without spoiling since you mixed tons of theories already. |
| Ok, I’m not liking how the story is unfolding, but at least I enjoyed the first two episodes, they were really good. |
| So, Masha was the girl Kuze met when he was little. Are we heading towards a love triangle, or will Masha sacrifice her first love to help her sister? Either way, the story that intrigues me the most is the separation of Kuze and Yuki's parents. Seeing Alya's past also shows me that Kuze is a good protagonist, not only because he helped her but also because he hides more than he seems. |

Like I said above I'm in love with it. I see there is a little debate about the dance but personally I might prefer it without the dancing so the developpement of the romance will be a bit more natural than it was in the novel knowing they already danced together and the school festival wil be their first time together on screen.
I mean I love how Masachika invites Alya at the school festival I just can't remember if it was volume 5 or 6.
| @DragyG Same. I loved the adaptation. I found myself smiling ear to ear throughout the episode. I felt that this episode had the best adaptation out of all the three episodes. I can't give them enough credit. Although, if I think about it, that very final scene actually is an anime original. In the LN, Masachika thought there was going to be an indirect kiss with her. Which, of course wasn't the case. The anime original is more preferable. |

| @aurora_yuuki Pretty much. It's my second language. English would be third. |
| Another great episode. Interestingly they’ve done things slightly out of order to the LN, it definitely makes sense why they’ve done it, but recently most anime adaptations have stuck rigidly to the order of the source material, so it’s nice to see they’ve put some thought into things rather than just mechanically replicating the LN. It is a shame we didn’t see the dance, but maybe they plan to revisit that in a later episode? |
I hope it doesn't end up being a love triangle between the sisters and Kuze. |
