This is off to a good start! The premise of the anime is interesting and unique, and I like Alya and Kuze's characters! I hope this anime doesn't become a love triangle or polygon though, since it's clear they both have feelings for each other, and it would be unnecessary that drama, especially if it's with Kuze's childhood friend.

Just from looking at that small convo with his sister, I can already say that she's best girl. Alya is a bit too tsun for my taste. But also isn't she the girl form his past? I mean the eye color usually gives it away lol

Am I the only one who recognized the ED song as the same one from Takagi-san's ED?!

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Nothing new this summer. The art is really good. But well, it's cliché. A lot of cliché on russian girls. The heroine is a tsundere. If you don't like tsundere, the first episode will be a miss. The osananajimi is well better introduced tho.

This was beautiful. Doga Kobo never disappoints when it comes to adapting masterpiece romance.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

First time i've seen a Tsundere anime with the tsun in one language and the dere in another! What's next, they're going to split the tsun and dere into twins??? Oh wait...I've already seen that anime.

Pretty good first episode. I wonder how long they're going to keep this gimmick of the MC pretending he doesn't understand her going.

Honestly I respect the double down the mc did, dude's cooking an oppenheimer by keeping his understanding of Russian a secret from Alya but decided to go down like a man and admit to peering at the promised land.

The visuals for this show look really nice and this ep alone felt top quality, the expressions so far for characters have also been pretty funny.

I dig the premise, seems unique and kinda interesting for the SOL genre, the foreshadowing also makes the show a little more promising.

too many tropes but main pair seems funny. Suou a decent osananajimi with rival vibes.
Kuze more wild & funny as mc. Unsure translation but his sis sounds questionable too.
Kujou just seem tsundere. OP quite fast cuts for romcom but nice dance in shifting styles.

based on the first episode it seems that the manga is unnecessarily sexual (which is bad) but the anime doesnt magnify that (which is good)
there definitely were some parts that made me uncomfortable, so im not sure if i will watch the whole show or not
if it has too much porn in it i will drop it, which is really sad because doga kobo has always been my favorite studio, i already dropped their last anime which i am very disappointment in them for making, perhaps something has changed at doga kobo, they are not as great as they were a decade ago

i like the animation style of this show, but it is a little brighter than i would prefer, which seems to be a trend in 2024

i started watching this because i saw a clip of it on youtube, and it was a scene that could have been sexualized but wasnt, this first episode was a little more sexual than i was expecting which is disappointing
for now i plan to keep watching it but i could drop it, and i am more hesitant to drop corrupt shows than i should be

Finally just started seeing this series, and it has is not disappointed! I’m really liking the dynamic between Alya and Kuze. I really like the fact that Kuze is not a wimp like so many male protagonist in these romance series seem to be. Especially during that whole sock scene, where he was called as such, and yet he still puts Alya’s sock on her!

I was a bit surprised with some of the scenes that they were showing, like with the slurping, and as well as that sock scene, the latter really raise my eyebrows. But hey, if you know anything about me, then you know that I definitely don’t have a problem with that kind of stuff! 😁

The only bad thing that I seen, is the fact that the closing theme starts out in English(and there’s quite a bit of it throughout the theme). And I was thinking “come on, we already have the show in Japanese and Russian, we don’t need to throw another language in there.” It just makes it a bit confusing, that’s all.

I really wish I would’ve started watching this sooner! 9.5/10

I also really like Kuze’s sister, she’s definitely a bit of a goofball, but in a good way. Her lighthearted approach and attitude towards Kuze as well, is something really good to see. And also,

Russian girl is so clueless that I have already lost any hope in her. Let's hope they don't rely on this gimmick coz that would get old fast.

Also, unless Alya has amnesia, we're looking at two Russian girls, and should she ever come back, the cat's gonna be out.

The imouto, on the other hand, like who tf reveals their foot fetish to their sister. That was a weird conversation and I'm down for more of it.

Her "Russian" is NOT Russian.

I watched the first episode of this anime, and at Alya's first "Russian" phrase, I almost threw up.

As someone who has been speaking Russian for over 20 years, I can tell you it's horrible.
When I listen to her talk, I want to play Russian roulette, but Kurt Cobain style.
And everyone I know who speaks Russian to whom I showed this anime felt the same way.
I have a friend who has watched all the episodes that have come out so far.
Anyway, as soon as he sees her start to open her mouth, he just fast-forwards 15+ seconds.

No one in their right mind would ever say "milashka" in Russian, in situations like those shown in the anime.

It's a word I've only heard about ten to twenty times in my entire life.
And it was never used in the context in which it is used in this anime.

In Russian, no one flirts with anyone like that.
And I doubt any other country would have anything like that.

Yep, you can say "milashka" when you are a guy and describing a girl, but in this case the word slightly changes coloring, and usually this word changes form in this situation and begins to sound like "milaha" (with accent on first "a" sound), by the way this form of the word is used many times more often and use it both guys and girls.

Anyway, "milashka" is more often used when a girl is talking about a small stuffed toy or an animal like a kitten or a puppy, but not in a context related to a guy.
I might turn a blind eye to it, but she repeats this word all the time, even though Russian is not as "narrow" as Japanese (at least in this context).
It is in Japanese, we 24/7 hear KAWAII KAWAII KAWAII KAWAII, in Russian it is the opposite, in it words have many synonyms, each of which colors speech differently depending on the context.


Imagine if in the English language, a person instead of any words denoting something positive, like "amazing" "brilliant" "delicious", would use only the word "good".
I mean, this anime just took the logic of the Japanese language and stretched the "skin" of the Russian language over it.
Yep as I wrote earlier in Japanese we hear "kawaii" and other constantly repeated words all the time, but THIS is NOT comparable to many other languages.
Japanese culture and language are distinctive, and the author should have hired a native Russian speaker consultant to write Alya's lines.

P.S.: "milashka" = "kawaii" as if you heard it from weeaboo in your language, but in Russian it may be directly translated as "cutie" but it also may be a litle softer.

In addition, I want to clarify one thing about the Russian language, or rather I want to talk about the Russian style and why some words change their form and semantic coloring, as in the situation with "milashka" and "milaha".

"milashka" and "milaha" are like a meme with "Daniel" and "The cooler Daniel"

For the most part, by "style" in core, native speakers of Russian mean "to speak, look and behave cool" (to be this "The cooler Daniel").
The whole point of Russian style is to have as many ponts as possible, to be as cool as possible and to stand out more than anyone else (at the airport if you see a "Russian" you will 100% realize that he is "Russian" (by "Russian" I mean all Russian-speaking people of +- European appearance, living on the territory of CIS)).
That's why, no one in Russian speaks like Alya.

furthermore, the anime will have absolutely nothing new or productive, the story is shit
this isn't romance, all it has is kids blushing all the time from mere physical contact
