@cemaa Damn, I totally forgot about that scene. I felt that the episode was missing something, and this was it. They should've, though. That was very comedic in the LN. Alya then confiscating their phones. Here's hoping they'll add it in the next episode.



9.2/10.
@aurora_yuuki Yes, they skipped it, even when Kuze asked for his phone back, that part wasn't adapted either, I hope not many parts are missed for the next episode

Plot twist: the childhood blonde girl is actually the main girl, they just forgot
@ice-tea-triple she has blue eyes too so it can't be her sister. I also suspected it

Alya was pretty good so far , not just some generic waifu with russian twist.
Great animation as expected from Doga Kobo. Looks like it will be slow with progress idc if it's funny which it was.

Good visuals in the OP. ED song was good too.

I really love this already, I found myself smiling and we're only in the first episode, Masachika and Alya's chemistry is great. I like how Masachika is a Russian sounding Japanese name lmao.

Masachika spends more time on the discussions of anime episodes than the episode itself, he gets it.

That's one based little sister right there.

Knowing that Sumipe is an avid fan of Russian culture, this role is made for her.

Mhm yes, Russian childhood friend that we totally will never see again.

Can't wait for the next episode.

Roshidere started better than I could have expected once again, just like in Oshi no Ko, the Doga Kobo studio shows who's boss when it comes to animation quality, man, it's one of the most incredible novels I've ever read and so there's no way you won't fall in love with it. characters and everything they represent, and of course the scene with Aly speaking in Russian is very funny and our protagonist knows everything due to his great love from the past who was also Russian. The ending was incredible, both the kick and the punch part, looking forward to the next episode, I highly recommend it

What the heck did I just watch in those last 5 minutes????!!!

I went in knowing nothing, and I really enjoyed the first 20 minutes or so of the show! And then suddenly, it was trashy fanservice out of nowhere!

I DO believe there's such a thing as tasteful fan service (I like the occasionalpanty shot and such things too!), but the sudden implications of role reversal, non-consent, and acting on a foot fetish on episode 1?! At least wait for build up to warm us up to the characters before adding in such a spicy scene like that. I found it rather jarring.
They really did Alya dirty with this scene. :\
Otherwise, I really enjoyed everything else. High quality animations, and a great soundtrack. A cute and interesting premise with some lighthearted jokes. What's not to like there? Sigh.
But I suppose I don't mind fanservice like this as long as it's not CONSTANT, and the rest of the story is good. It just did nothing for me given its timing and placement. ^^;

@Konekokuroneko We're just getting started. It'll get better progressively. This scene was also slightly different in the LN, not to mention that her panty was pink in color. Although I definitely did not expect them to show us a glimpse of it.

Наконец-то это аниме вышло. Какой же хайп был уже после трейлера.
Вроде получилось прикольно. Манга мне не очень зашла (не любитель такого жанра) а вот в виде аниме смотрится вполне бодро.
Рисовка шикарная и очень качественная, персонажи очень яркие, Аля безумно кавайная milashka.
А какой момент с ножками ммм...
В общем, вроде бы простая эччи-комедия, но смотрится весело.

И насчет русского языка... я скажу честно, большинство русских фраз я вообще не смог разобрать даже переслушивая по несколько раз 😅
Я конечно понимаю что Сумире не носитель, но акцент ну очень сильный. Хотя сильно впечатление это не портит потому что сама озвучка все равно приятная.

Посмотрим что будет дальше 😌

An acceptable first episode. There were some funny moments here. Though now I'm quite wondering that this Alisa chick is actually the child Kuze met when he was a kid. These kind of shows end up being quite similar so I'll bet my money on it. Unless another russian chick shows up at some point in this series, which usually also happens quite often.
We'll see what happens next episode.

a pretty good start... wasn't actually amused by the socks wearing scene but everything else was actually entertaining (Tagaki-san would have been proud of Alya suggesting the wrong answer from the book in secret). She looks beautiful and her well known seiyuu is spot on. i laughed hard at the "sleeping late because of anime marathon" and the idol-esque gaming scout parts, i've been there.

it was cute for the most part, but then it got WAYYYY hornier than I was expecting with the whole sock scene ending in a panty shot. and then he chased Alya around the school? the whole third act was just too much. I'm hoping this was just a one and done situation

By God, this is genuinely horrible. The russian sounds bad, the voice acting was mediocre and all animation budget was wasted on a single scene, which is now being memed to hell. Don't watch this shit. Read the manga.

It seems like a typical waifu-bait rom-com, where the main female character is portrayed as the perfect human being, and the male protagonist is a complete loser...or maybe not
This one might end up being slightly different, which will make it even more appealing.

The male protagonist in this show is actually pretty decent. Usually, in these types of series, the main guy is a huge loser, socially awkward, a shut-in, has no personality, or has an incredibly annoying habit or personality trait. But in this case, he comes across as a regular schoolboy who's into anime and gacha games—just like many of us here. This makes him more relatable and refreshing compared to the usual character archetypes we see in such shows.

Oh, and Alya is gorgeous...

that's all, a teasing master takagi and nisekoi mixer and people called this anime of the season, lol. First get a original idea then think of anime of the season. this is nothing do with Doga kubo, they didn't make the story, so if somehow it get anime of the season. the whole credit goes to Doga kubo's amazing screenwriting, animation.

Loving this so far :D

For someone who knows Russian, it's cringe but cute at the same time :D Especially "go die" and "shut up".

I think MC isn't the only one who has awakened foot fetish after this :D

Unlike the usual romcom anime, this one has real high-standards as in good animation, story is solidly romcom and diverts to no other premise. Every detail is heightened, it's as if anime editors learned from their mistake and finally.. FINALLY they give sophistication to the eyes and the overall enhancement to the animation, now it looks way more cleaner and stolid of even the most subtle emotions. For me personally, the first episode wasn't much of a impact, the story so far is stereotypical and expected. But what really goes out of the way is the anime quality and it's banger OP & ED songs, those are surely enjoyable and I can see myself listening to the ED for sometime. When we look more into the personality of our hero/protagonist, he seems like a nobody who's gifted to be even blessed with the goddess of the high school to grace him even with their presence. I guess his nonchalant behavior, girls are always drawn to that. Now then, overall, I like the setting, I like the typical story in a perfect experience. So yes, I'll continue watching.

Not really sure how to feel about it, as a romance i don't think i'll like it though. I like Alya, but not a big fan of Kuze. Can't really see myself liking their romance if I don't like one of them. Also kinda bored of the trope "super pretty popular girl that everyone in the school loves for some reason gives time to the loser nerd and they fall in love", seems way too overdone. Where are the loser girls??? Need a romance with a female protag like Bocchi, only one I can think of is kimi ni todoke. I did like the opening and ending though, can't deny they both sound great. I'm gonna keep watching to see if I change my mind, but so far alls it really has for me is that I like Alya, the animation, and the op & ending.

edit: checked the vas, no wonder I recognised their voices- Alya's va also did Chisato & Hahari, and Kuze's va did Neito from my hero. Kinda cool to see two va's I recognise as the main cast, doesn't really change my opinion though
@floral_sacrifice Yeah, same here. Alya's cute, and I don't mind the fanservice - she's the reason I'm watching anyways - but I'm a bit iffy on Kuze. On one hand, he's better than a lot of romcom male protags, on the other hand, that's an incredibly low bar to clear. He's the typical "slightly edgy and incredibly sarcastic otaku protagonist" that I'm just...sort of tired of seeing? Unironically, having something like a super shonen-esque hothead might be kinda cool. Those are common, but not in this genre.

Absolutely top tier, best of the new batch so far (although pretty early to say it will stay that way) Any Quintuplets fans find the chase scene funny? Like the Miku chase in reverse, Miku takes her tights off AFTER the running 😂
It’s gonna be a great season for sure…
@FutoiOtaku Quint fan here, and Miku lover too! She's definitely my ideal girl, danderes are adorable, and she's a history nut like me!

Yeah, now that I think of it, I guess the chase is similar. Even has the protagonist giving the girl a drink. Now that I think of it, doing the same thing as Fuutaro did in Quint and having Alya "kyaa" would have been pretty cute.
