Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san Episode 11 Discussion

Peak ( . )( . ) episode

I feel like the anime would've been a lot better without all this about Masachika's past.

(even if my own situation wasn't as bad as his own, i still somehow can feel Kuze's pain about parents way too high expectations)

As soon as he appeared waking up, i was immediately going: "YUKI... DO YOUR THING." Too bad she did something, but piloting events from afar and not attending in person, as ill Masachika correctly guessed. Ayano is weird, she insists a lot and even stares at him until ordered otherwise.

Wait... what? "my brother isn't here any more" "she's so motivated to honor her dead brother's legacy" LOOOOOL. Yeah, it will be spectacular when Alya finds out.

And... Yuki evil smug face. Wanted to change my desktop or smartphone wallpaper, and now i know what to choose. Damn, just one more episode and i'm very afraid of no season 2. Even if this series had some real highs and lows, i just don't want it to end this quickly.

Just another bad episode. It shows yet again the poor character development. Alya is so dumb

The only good thing was the ED, cover after Ikimonogakari's song "Kimagure Romantic".

Yuki is not interesting character for me I od t understand why people love her that much to. She is just get away with everything because her brother is pushover and Alya is cannot stand for herself and accept everybody’s apologies in 1 second. She is gonna loose with literally any other person from what I seen. Just people she is fighting are not capable of speaking

Oh my family blah blah blah Alya for got sake just say I don’t care for once

@kirA_-_ At least Alya's going to win big, unlike bro's grammar and spelling.

So we're shown that Kuze is actually a kid prodigy, yeah. Starting from getting perfect scores in tests, and even playing quite difficult pieces such as "Beethoven Sonata Op. 49 No. 2 1st Mov" in concerts. Despite this, his mother doesn't seem to appreciate (by looking pleased) Kuze's abilities and achievements, which is quite strange.

This episode, Kuze catches a cold for some reason. Yuki gives Kuze medicine through Alya and her maid, Ayano. It turns out, Yuki can be said to have poisoned Kuze by giving him medicine that makes him sleepy. The purpose of this is so that Kuze cannot help Alya at school. Eh, Kuze realized this too late. Alya had already lost (it seems like arguing) against Yuki. Indeed, Yuki is very cunning. She gives me the vibes of Sakayanagi from COTE, not gonna lie.

This is Ayano's episode to shine, and Alya's episode to rise. Kuze is scheming something big. One more episode to go.

@metatron13 Heh, so you loved it enough to rate it a 9/10.

@aurora_yuuki Yeah. I was entertained. :)

@metatron13 Excited for Season Two?

@aurora_yuuki Not particularly, but looking forward to it.

I'm a little confused as to why masachika is playing his sister's hand. He doesn't even have to tell Alya-san that they're siblings, just say that her brother isn't dead, maybe even comment that they talk on a regular basis. It's really confusing, since she'll learn if their plans (to get those two together) go through.
It might even bring more fire to Alya-san's fight

How did you recognize that piece?

@aurora_yuuki Well uh, because I actually know (have heard) that piece before, even though I've never tried playing that exact piece. Anyways, the part that Kuze played does refer directly to that piece...

@KingNotSkilled Aw, so you can play piano too~?

@aurora_yuuki Honestly speaking, yeah.

@KingNotSkilled I'm actually interested, but I just couldn't understand how people can exactly remember so many keys and play with such precision and timing. How can their fingers be so swift and precise?

@aurora_yuuki Practicing is simply the key! It's just like anything else, once you've played an instrument (or a piece) for quite a while, in the end it's just muscle memory, not gonna lie.

@KingNotSkilled Muscle memory. Haven't experienced that before.


How many pieces can you play?
