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)

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.

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.

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.
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.
