    Decent anime, but Very slow development.

    I'm a big fan of romcom genre in animes but, alya san and 90% of romcom anime have a unnecessary long story.

    I love character development, but prolonging a lot only for earning more is annoying.

    A story have beginning, development, critical Moments and ending... But current manga have a beginning a development, a longer unnecessary chapters, a critical and sometines a Bad ending or a Open ending.(Kanokari, domestic Kanojo...) I Likes alya san, but im afraid sunsun can waste the Potential of alya san.

    I love alya san because masachika is a lazy but a smart Guy, and alya a smart Girl , i Hope they can stay together.

    Alya is Proof That Good Romance Anime Still Exist

    "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" is a great example of how school romance anime can still feel fresh and enjoyable.

    One of the highlights is the protagonist's sister, whose slightly provocative behavior is portrayed as a well-crafted character trait. She often breaks the fourth wall, speaking directly to us viewers, while the clueless protagonist remains completely unaware - which adds a fun layer of humor.

    The real strength of the series, however, lies in the chemistry between Masachika and the top student Alya.

    Alya's cold and often condescending attitude toward Masachika is portrayed brilliantly, and the German dub captures her tone perfectly.

    Half-baked

    I'm used to the rom-com genre, and this one has a good start, but slowly falls off over the last 4 episodes

    Putting aside some unnecessary fan service and the fact that they flirt with incest, the male protagonist starts acting very mature for his age and neutral towards a certain female, but in the end you see the opposite, so it seemed to me that they forced the usual unexpected romance to extend the anime for at least one more season (which is supported by the fact they avoided to touch the background of certain characters and instead focused on a random debate)

    I'll watch the second season for the sake of closure, and I hope they don't take the typical direction (but probably they will if most of the fan base wants that in order to please them)

    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.

    Is this a miracle?

    No, this show is not as good for me to call it a miracle. It's a very nice romantic comedy with drama and anything that you'd expect from a typical coming of age anime.

    What really flashed me here was the Russian language. You see, I grew up with either Russian movies or American movies where Russian is totally butchered and made fun of. Also, I know that the Japanese like other languages like English or German, but due to their very specific use of the Japanese language, they rarely pronounce anything correctly.

    Imagine my surprise and joy when I heard real Russian in this anime! Sure, it's with a heavy accent and the main characters have a better pronunciation than the side characters, but still. There were longer parts where I did not even need to read the subtitles and I understood everything. Kudos to the voice actors!

    It was worth it to hire a Belorussian teacher of the Russian language as an advisor. Everyone has done a great job and I am looking forward to the second season.
