Coming from reading the Light Novel, it's a very promising start for the anime side. Stunning visuals and good adaptation overall.

Anyhow, in short, I do feel the major differences right off the bat, between the LN and the anime

The pacing is much quicker in the anime compared to the LN, considering that the LN provides extensive details to each interaction (In each scenes) between characters, so the transitioning seems nice and easygoing. In addition, there is also some 'hidden interactions' that are not in the anime but it's in the LN that should've been added, which I believe would've been jokes (or makes the moment more funnier, if its a comedic scene).

This girl is truly terrible to describe. Apart from her perfect appearance, her tsundere nature is also a plus point for her. Especially when she uses Russian which makes this unique.

And I can't wait to see more of Yuki. Next, Masachika has to at least fight Alya.

Looks good and decently paced, but otherwise totally generic-panty shots and mc getting punched in the face after a misunderstanding feels almost retro.

Very good first episode, I really liked it.

All the characters that were shown are not annoying, I liked that, also, Kuze really doesn't like me, he is a guy who despite "being the same" is not a coward, in other animes that plot of "Kuze looking for Alya to apologize for seeing her panties" it could have easily been 3 episodes hahahahaha

I did not expect fanservice on the first episode (I didn't read the manga/Ln for no spoilers)

Also yeah I agree that both the OP and ED are bops

I found this first episode so adorable and funny.
I thought that the concept was great, the plot was well-written and the main characters very interesting, really good animation, Sumire Uesaka does a great job of course, the OP and ED are good, and I'm looking forward to see more of all the sides characters (I think it is a very good sign that I find them almost as much fun and interesting as the mains).

Overall, it felt like a very solid start for a series that will potentially/probably be the best romcom of the season!

Panty shots = peak, I hope there will be more scenes like this later on...
The adaptation so far seems pretty decent, and I like how they didn't immediately reveal that Masachika understands Russian.
@MadanielFL Her panties were pink in the LN, and the scene afterwards was slightly different than the anime.

Seems like we’ll be in for a pretty fun time with Alya hiding her feelings while Masachika actually understands her the whole time but doesn’t have the heart to tell her that lol.

Also, I know deviant foot fiends are rejoicing because of that scene. And it looks like the MC himself is a foot fiend as well. 🀒🀒🀒
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

@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.

Just watched the first episode. Everything was fine until Alya started using Russian phrases. I'm a native Russian speaker. To be honest, the voiceover in Russian is very mediocre, the pronunciation seemed more or less normal to me, but the intonation was just terrible. Intonation was like when you voice the text in Google Translator. I really respect the authors and the voice actress, but for a Russian-speaking viewer the transition from Japanese to Russian is very rough and not natural. So I will continue to watch the anime not in the original, but in Russian dubbing) I would like to ask those who do not speak Russian how do you like the Russian language of the main character? Do you find it cute? Or strange?

I loved the voice, it's quite tender, apart from how this anime is going to develop, I'm really caught up in it. I'm very curious and I'm not going to watch the manga until the anime ends. I want to be surprised at how all of this will turn out.I loved the voice, it's quite tender, apart from how this anime is going to develop, I'm really caught up in it.

LMAO, I thought the exact same thing! Wasn't his name Tato or Potato?

Anyways, I'm going into this blind and I enjoyed watching this first episode. Alya has some nice legs and I can only imagine how red and embarrassed she'll be when she finds out (I'm assuming she'll find out) that Kuze understands her speaking Russian.

As a native Russian speaker all Russian phrases seem to have been recorded separately, but damn, could have at least mix normally, and that is not only that with the lips badly coincides, but also an order of magnitude quieter, can not even understand what is said. Could just hire Jenya Davidyuk, guess it wasn't an option as she's 40 now and have kids, such a shame.
I agree that it does look a bit silly when the main feature of the anime is presented so poorly. But here it's like a person unfamiliar with the concept of accent trying to pronounce the words on the sound of the google translator, very bad.

@Cersil Well, we get what we get. It was never going to be an easy task for anyone who played the role. The accent is inevitable.

Watching anime > tired in school = story of my life

And that was a kickass panty-shot if I've ever seen one. Masachika thanking Alya for the view reminded me of this lol





Nice start. The concept feels pretty fresh Could be a rom-com hit for Doga Kobo.

It was totally worth the wait. Wednesday's are for Doga Kobo this summer.

After reading the news article regarding the staff for this production I was certainly excited to see this anime in action. This first episode was honestly amazing. Not only did we get some money fan-service but the art and character designs are really impressive. Even the back-ground characters got some love and have great detail. It took me almost 40 minutes to get through this episode with all of the backtracking I did to look at the pretty scenery.

Awesome, I'm super hyped to continue with this show. This is the second language themed romance I'll be watching this year. Didn't know I needed this content. xD

Not gonna lie, quite disappointed, fanservice was spicy and interaction between Masachika and Alya were fun but otherwise it's pretty ordinary slow-paced romcom filled wit cliches. I'm reading source right now and honestly isn't impressed either, seems like it
. And more jarring is Summipe's (VA I really like) Russian accent and unnaturally written lines, it's of course commendable that she speaks learned it in the past and has some experience, but for half-Russian MC with main gimmick being using it often - it's just too noticeable and cringy for my ears, since I'm native speaker.
