    Heartwarming School Rom-Com with Depth

    Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings exceeded expectations! Well-developed characters, balanced humor and heartache, and stunning animation.

    Alya shines as the quirky, vulnerable princess. Masachika's complex past ripped my heart apart. Yuki's brother complex adds humor, while Maria's kindness makes her a favorite.

    Character development is evenly paced; no one feels like a side character. Writing superbly balances humor and emotional depth.

    Masachika's childhood history is tough to swallow, connected to a major plot point. Cliffhanger ending left me eager for Season 2!

    Highlights: lovable characters, witty dialogue, poignant storytelling. Lowlights: some plot points feel rushed.

    A must-watch for school rom-com fans! Comparable to "Toradora!" and "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU."

    A very good anime to binge-watch without worrying about anything

    So, yeah... I decided to watch this anime because I was just browsing Crunchyroll, saw the poster and thought "Hmm... why not?". And honestly, I had a lot of fun watching the anime, and even though sometimes I feel like strangling the protagonist for his stupidity, the story is excellent, especially the "arc" of the battle for class presidency. But what impressed me the most, in fact, was the animation, which I found very beautiful and perfect for a comedy/romance anime. And yes, the title describes the entire anime, so make sure that when you tell someone what you're watching, call the anime Roshidere and not the embarrassing title they gave it. Watch it if you want, but you'll want an Alya for yourself and you'll be regretting that there's no such beauty, you can be sure.

    Character designs and the storyline

    In my opinion, it is an interesting anime with an amazing story. It can be said that I was reading the manga before the anime was released, and the graphics and art of the manga were also interesting, and then I realized that the anime will be released.

    I also noticed that it is going to be animated by a studio that animated Oshi no ko anime, and again this made me want to follow the anime more.

    I hope the story will continue well and even a second or third season will be considered for this anime.

    Cool comedy romance genre.

    I would like to add that apart from the characters of the anime, the Voice actors of the characters are also interesting to me.

    It seems promising at first, but it got really boring after a few episodes.

    Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san started out looking good; the first episodes promised something different and had me hooked. But after a while, everything fell apart. The story became boring and repetitive, as if they didn't know what to do with the potential it had at the beginning.

    The episodes felt more and more repetitive, and what used to excite me started to become predictable. In the end, it ended up being a huge disappointment. What could have been a great series ended up being something that doesn't leave you wanting more. I dont recomend it to anyone looking for a roncom, this show is clearly not that.

    Overall 8.7⭐ Rating

    Ep1:8.7.10 Ep2:9.5/10 Ep3:7.8/10 Ep4:8.1/10 Ep5:9.3/10 Ep6:8.4/10 Ep7:8.3/10 Ep8:8.5/10 Ep9:9.0/10 Ep10:8.8/10 Ep11:7.9/10 Ep12:8.5/10.

    "Roshidere" is a delightful romantic comedy that blends lightheartedness with heartfelt moments, making it stand out in the genre. The show focuses on the dynamic between Masachika, an unassuming high school student, and Alya, a sharp and somewhat cold girl who secretly harbors affection for him-often revealing her true feelings in Russian, assuming Masachika doesn't understand.

    Characters & Relationships: The character dynamics are where Roshidere truly shines. Alya's tsundere-like personality adds charm, while Masachika's laid-back but perceptive nature creates a balanced contrast. Their slow-burn romance, laced with comedic misunderstandings, keeps viewers engaged. Alya's use of Russian phrases adds a unique layer to their interactions, adding both humor and mystery.

    Plot & Pacing: While the overarching plot may be simple, the pacing is just right for a rom-com. Each episode reveals more about the characters' backstories and deepens their relationship without feeling rushed. The buildup of tension between Alya and Masachika is steady, making viewers root for their eventual connection.

    Visuals & Soundtrack: The animation is clean and well-suited for the story. Character designs are charming, and the expressions-especially Alya's when she's flustered-are done exceptionally well. The music is soft and complements the tone of the show, enhancing the emotional and comedic moments without overshadowing them.

    Emotional Appeal: Roshidere offers a perfect balance of light-hearted comedy and heartwarming romance. It explores the difficulties of expressing emotions and highlights the subtle moments that make relationships meaningful. Fans of rom-coms will appreciate the way the show teases out romantic tension without relying on heavy drama.

    Verdict: Overall, "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" is a must-watch for fans of romantic comedies. Its unique premise, engaging characters, and charming execution make it stand out in the crowded field of anime romances. If you're looking for something both funny and sweet, this show delivers!
