| Хороший второй эпизод. Alya is very cute and, although the secondary characters are not bad but Alya is the best girl. Its something special about her. I really like the high quality ecchi with great visuals. Alya's Russian is still bad, but thats okay for me. The main disadvantage of the anime for me is the humor, its unfunny and boring, but interesting characters and good visuals somehow draw out all the bad jokes (and also moments with big round eyes look bad and annoying imo) |
| we are eating good...fan service and lol sis-con lmao |
 |
| yup AOTS is here. loved every second of it. i can jsut feel that this has been made with care. the imouto reveal was great. i love alya lol. her expressions. so cute. and yes its been a while since i watched sono bisque but man marin has finally got some serious competition. its only second episode and i love alya so much. if this same quality continues till the end of the season then i'm breaking up with marin. and i feel liek they gonna use remakes for the ed's. the last two are already remakes. this is fun as well. looking forward to more. easily my fav animes of this season. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
His sister is absolutely crazy, and I’m here for it lol!  |
| SHE IS HIS SISTER?? Oh my god this show just became amazing. I have to admit I solely started this show because of her but I did not realize who she was lmao. Better than Oshi No Ko right now, I did not expect this. |

| Good episode.This episode reveals that Yuki is the sister of Masachika.Also the ramen scene was pretty funny.Especially the facial reactions of other customers.I wish they included the scene of Kuze saving Alya and telling her to be more careful. Alya getting embarassed due to Yuki's teasing was extremely humourous.Especially seeing her facial reaction.So we got a new ED this time,will we get new ED every episode,i wonder...Overall,i give this episode full 5/5. |
 |
| Good humour, love the pacing, and the characters are likable. It feels like it's going to be an interesting ride, and the main character is likable. His sister is a little... odd. I know it's a trope, but this feels like they're actually having a laugh about the trope rather than falling into it, though I could be wrong. |
 |
| It's generic, but funny enough to keep watching. If the incesty vibe between the sibling keep up, I'm definitely dropping this. Those were the worst scenes of episode 2. |
| That was a fun episode but the wincest is still disgusting. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| MY ANIME OF THE SEASON ALSO WINCEST! |
 |
| As a person who dislike spicy foods, I feel bad for Alya in this episode... That spicy ramen must be literal world's hell for her. Also the ending song is really cute! Both the visuals and the cover version of Kawaikutte Gomen by Honeyworks. |
 |
| The first scene between MC and his sister was super cute, then they ruined it with some incest vibes but still cool. 4/5 |
| another cute epsiode wth, didn't expect Yuki is Masachika little sister tho, excited for the next episode !!! |

I'm lovin' it so far! Alya's cute. But why doesn't she have any pre-existing close friends to go shopping with or talk about romance with? Talking to herself in her home tongue, especially as a way to process her emotions, is a blatant sign of how lonely and emotionally isolated she is. It's cute, but it makes me imagine how lonely she must be feeling in order to get to that point, which makes me sad. Is she a transfer student and that's why she has no friends? I feel like that would have been mentioned (did I miss it?). We haven't gotten much backstory on any of the characters yet -- I feel like it's unveiling the backstory too slowly, both to the viewer and between the characters.
Relatedly, it drives my crazy that the two siblings haven't told Alya that they're siblings. And there has been no reason given for why they are withholding that information. They're coming across as two big dicks (in a box). It's obvious that Suou is coming across that way, but Kuze also is by not telling Alya that Suou is his sister. It's one thing for them to withhold that they're siblings from people at school in general -- another thing for Kuze to withhold it from a girl whom he is supposedly friends with and who is very explicitly crushing on him. It was also a dick move how, for the final outfit Alya tried on, Kuze kinda pulled the rug out from under her by agreeing with Suou's backhanded compliment, completely reversing his attitude on her. Maybe it's supposed to just be him teasing her, but it's a bit much, as indicated by how long Alya takes to recover from it afterward -- the whole train ride she's withdrawn, undoubtedly dwelling on her shame and embarrassment about what happened, and the siblings make no move to comfort her or bring her back. She's so emotionally delicate, and Kuze should know this because he understands what she says in Russian, and yet they both just trample all over her feelings all the time. Are they trying to cause her more stress and suffering? Is Kuze actually interested in his sister instead? Maybe these two dicks only want each other. At this rate that possibility is looking more viable than it should.

| @Selion As an LN reader, I can answer your questions. They'll be revealed in the coming episodes, but if you're up for it, I don't mind spoiling. |

| ok this episode is kinda peak ngl. Surprisingly sister is the best girl of the title so far. Tho I hope the whole plot won't be built around constant misunderstanding, her not knowing that protag knows russian is more than enough |
| keren banget jadi pengen punya adek perempuan yang bangunin tidur pake baju pijama gak pake beha |
candies:   only two because work stuff :( |
| that was a fun episode, alyas so cute <3 and kawaikute gomen as the ed too hello??? srsly a nice surprise ^w^ |
| My god alot of surprises this episode. |
| 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 |
| Lol, the ending change caught me off guard. Pretty decent episode love it! |
  |
| Fanservice is as big a part of anime as the gladiator arc, giant robots or reincarnation. And I really don't mind it, if it's really adding something to a production. But in this ep it was just gratuitous. There's enough basis here where the producers don't have to sink that low. If this become's yet another fanservice vehicle, I'm going to drop this. Which would be a shame, as I like the characters already, and the premise looks like it has some promise. |
| Alya has no business being as cute as she is! I hope she finds out that the brown haired girl is his sister. Hopefully soon bc it pains me to watch her get jealous over nothing. The little sister is evil though haha. The way they both reacted with the last outfit change made my heart hurt. I liked the short sleeve/short combo, but sad we didn't get to see all of it. I like her more in short sleeves and shorts than in dresses. Like the one she was wearing to the mall is too "grown up" more businesswoman attire. Unlike most people, I'm enjoying the fanservice lmao I love me some panty shots lol |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| I don't know how much more I can take with this the Russian outbursts with a Japanese accent. I cringe every time I hear it. It would have been much more amazing and I would have respected them a whole lot if they managed to find a voice actress that spoke Russian and Japanese well, or at least capable of mimicking other languages better. The competitive pervy sister and jealous tsundere girl trope is once again brought up. Not terribly done, at least. I do like the way they capture embarrassment or shock with the exaggerated eye with small pupils though. It made me laugh. |
