They draw all the girls' eyes so beautiful, what the heck.

Also, I really really hope that they are not going to make it a harem because the amount of girls Kuze could be romantically interested in is just way too high. But since Alya-San is the title character it's unlikely I guess.

Usually I try to rough it out until the third episode at least, but this was absolutely unbearable. Roshidere has decent production quality, and seems like something that'd probably leverage the tropes of harem anime to its advantage with the somewhat interesting twist of the heroine thinking the main character can't understand some of her words. This is a bit disappointing to me, as I went in blind and was expecting the language element to play a more significant role in the development of both main characters. Unfortunately (I don't really know why I put this word in, I don't really care either way), this show is not for me. It would have thrived in the golden age of harems back in the early 2010s, which is also around the time I would have been the right age to find episode one panty shots transgressive and riveting. I have no idea what it's doing coming out now, and I don't know whether it a result of the times or just the evolution of my own tastes that I find the first episode incredibly dated and uninspired. I won't be continuing this.
I don't normally care much for other people's opinions on anime, but it's been a little surprising to me that I haven't seen a single other person that shares my opinion on it. Probably stupid of me to care this much, but it's nice to find a kindred spirit in that sense.

@KFB0054 : Taste is subjective, and it's up to everyone to decide whether or not they want to continue watching it. No point in trying to change that. I do want to point out however that both NerdAlert and - seemingly - you draw some very oblivious and faulty conclusions out of a mere first episode.

First and foremost, Roshidere is no harem (which by my definition would require at least 3 girls vying for the ML's romantic love). This renders most of the criticism moot. The panty shot - fine. A typical hook for both viewers and readers. I'll just say that this isn't typical for the show either. If this one scene is enough to steer you off track, you're probably better off watching something else anyway.

I think the majority of the viewers either are less susceptible to hasty conclusions or don't mind them. Personally, I'd say that the production values are fantastic, and even though the first episode went through the material much faster than I would have expected, I can understand why they wanted to add the final scene in ep1. We'll see how things go in ep2.

@jjjsssddd It's not a harem LN, not even a Love Triangle. Rest assured.

Yo, this is actually pretty fun! I usually hate these kinds of shows
- Alya is so freaking cuteeee, best love interest this season so far
- OP is a bit much as far as romance spoilers go lol
- I really like the main character, he’s not really different to other rom coms but he’s just a bit more fun yknow?
- “them’s fighting words”
- Leg scene…. Hell yeah
- I love the text conversation with him and his sister lmao. Lesbian I assume?
- The ending song is so cool!

@Apreggi Oh, you're in for a wild ride then. You'd be shocked at just how different he actually is compared to other MCs. And no, his sister's straight.



As an LN reader, I am very content with the adaptation. They adapted about 80-85% according to the LN. I wish they adapted the socks scene exactly like in the LN, because it's quite different and does justice to our male lead.

I never said others are wrong for liking it. I don't really mind one way or the other, just expressing my opinion. My criticisms with the series are the way it's written (having read a fair amount of the novel as well). I'm aware it's not a harem.

When he called her a friend, I thought: "This MC might not be so dense and stupid after all. Not bad." But then after the dream, I have to withdraw my evaluation of this MC. He's another standard anime MC like a lot of them... Dense as brick and stupid as goldfish.

Ladies and gentlemen, the waifu of the season. It was a good first episode; I liked the pair of protagonists—they have a lot of chemistry and great comedic moments. But undoubtedly, the best part was the socks scene. The OP seems to have quite a few spoilers, but I liked it, although I enjoyed the ED a bit more.

What I wonder is when Alisa will discover that Masachika understands Russian and who the Russian girl Masachika knew as a child is.

I never said he was, I just mentioned how cute they are together even though he might feels like your typical MC. I don’t read the LN, I’m solely basing my opinion on the one episode I’ve seen so far.

@N7Grey As a native Russian speaker, I thought her pronunciation was very cute. In Russia, many people watch it with Russian dubbing, I watch this title with subtitles, it’s an interesting experience. Hmm, the Russian-speaking audience on local sites is mostly dissatisfied with her pronunciation. I am among the 30% who are satisfied

Did they just summarized the whole story inside the opening?! LOL?! 😖😖😖
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.

The show is pretty good but the author clearly has never talked to anyone outside Japan. Nobody will ever mumble in another language when talking to someone. That is extremely weird and rude to do as I've only seen it done when the person is cussing someone out in a language they don't understand.

This show is great! I was not expecting him to understand the russian part! This gives the tsundere setting a nice twist.
I really wonder when he slips and she notice!

But of course the real deal here is the pervy sister. Lmao, what a conversation to have with your sibling!

I do feel bad about never practicing my russian now, after nearly 15 years I lost everything lol

And the MC actually has a personality? I guess I will actually watch RomCom this season.

I am thoroughly pleased with the anime adaptation. As a devoted Roshidere fan for the past two years, having read both the Light Novel and the Manga, I find it exceptionally well-executed. I was ecstatic while watching, as I finally had the chance to see my favorite character brought to life. Nonetheless, I have a preference for the light novel due to its more intricate and comprehensive storytelling.

6/10. Never dropped an anime so quick.
Idk it was a little basic. The gag got boring pretty quick for me. Can't imagine a full season of it. MC understanding Russian so well seems odd as well. And not making a move knowing she's into you. Sad face.
