Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian
| The only thing an anime with "Russia" in its name has to do with Russia is the protagonist's broken Russian, cringe-worthy lyrics from time to time...meh They could have presented more Russian culture, alcohol, carpets on the walls, a hammer and sickle, MC's grandpa could have been a Stalin fan and grown a mustache in his style....just kidding, sorry MAL administration, it's just a joke! But really, they make a new ending every episode which is a cover of some song and they didn't put any Russian ones (I think, I don't want to check) xD of course the incestuous shit is more important. |
| The Mc would have to meet Allya relatives like Zangief.To impress the main girl the Mc must save the school by wrestling the bear away and celebrate with whiskey. |

| The author wasn't going for diversity, inclusion, or representation when the light novels were written. He kept it about the 2 main characters. That's pretty much it. If it ever comes up, it would be in the background that's never focused on. |

| @rohan121 If this anime was good, MC would have flown to Russia to make a Putin cosplay on a bear instead of taking part in some boring student council xD |

| @Janethan23 I don't care about inclusivity, it would just be more interesting than another boring school romcom, imagine, the romance instead of going around in circles, actually develops and MC has to fly to Russia to meet the tsundere's parents and they turn out to be communists |
| The amount seems fine, maybe a little more, but idk. |
No, this isn't my signature~desu. |
| Would be cool to have more, but not really necessary. But I can see why some people consider it a waste of potential. Maybe they're saving it for a house visit or something. They have some references to Russian culture like what is socially acceptable and expected (whether they're correct or not, I have no clue), but it would add a nice flavor to the anime if they put more focus on it. It would also make it more memorable. |
| oh I'm disappointed in people, they're happy with another typical romcom and they don't want an anime that advertises itself as a Russian waifu to really stand out in any way🙄 |

| @Ba-Cii10 Lol, and while he's there Russia invades Ukraine in a massive plot-twist and Alisa's parents enlist. Kuze decides to run for politics in Japan to maybe sway public opinion to support Russia for the sake of his Russian GF; but then, in another MASSIVE plot-twist, KGB agents assume Kuze is BS-ing them as a pro-western spy so he gets detained and is sent to Gulag in Siberia where's he's interrogated by a sexy Russian wifu who falls in love with him after some spicy torturing and the two make a daring escape, evading vodka-patrols and Putin-trained polar bears while Alisa is plotting to stage a coup in Moscow! But naah, have a snail-paced plot and more Yuki fanservice instead. |

If you think about Masha and Alya’s accent, they sound a bit Japanese. Very good point, because nobody said that this was supposed to be a Russian anime in the first place! That Ba-Cii Guy was clearly misinterpreting what this show was supposed to be about in the first place! And in terms of why they have accents, That’s because both of them are in fact, half Japanese. And it’s quite clear that they spent a lot more time in Japan than Russia, so of course their Russian would be at least somewhat broken. Seriously, why does Ba-Cii want to trash the show, just because it didn’t meet his exact expectations? And for him to call it “another boring romcom“? Oh, please! I mean it’s not a perfect show, but again, it’s not supposed to be a Russian anime, or an anime about Russia, as he seems to think that it is, and as you yourself pointed out. |

The only thing that should be more it's interactions between the main couple. Nobody cares about the elections, give me more alya please (?

I completely agree with you. Calling this show a “romcom” is just too much. There were no plans from the beginning for this anime to be Russian or have something in common in Russia. Then, what about Monster by Naoki Urasawa? At first, you could say that anime is German, because the action took place there and of course, many characters are German rather than Japanese (excepting MC and a few more). But it is also not the case, it’s just the creator’s preference to add something new, not only Japanese. So, “Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian” is not a Russian anime.

You have a point, that’s what I was trying to say. I do not know where this idea came from about “Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feeling In Russian” being a Russian anime. This anime has nothing to do with Russia.
| @OtakuKun1 Wouldn't even be called an anime if it were. Almost all fans of animanga and cartoon from worldwide in general do not know where to draw the line; for that is where the matter in question lies. |

| @aurora_yuuki Oh yes. I remember the same thing with Monster. And yes, it DID make it unique! Not just with the country it took place in but with a lot of the subject matter too! |

Exactly, completely agree with you. If you want to learn something about russian culture, just go and read some books by russian authors, watch movies etc. The concept of the anime was known from the very beginning, all the action takes place in Japan, from russia only Alya and Masha are here.
Plus, as a Ukrainian, I'm glad that anime doesn't pay much attention to russian culture. I’m okay with language because I also speak russian a lot, but anything else is unpleasant for me on a subconscious level, after everything this country has done for my people and for me personally.

@aurora_yuuki Yeah, I won't deny my so to say "love" to alya; but if I can explain myself a bit more, my real problem it's the plot in general. Because you have all the drama between the brothers, that's someway related to the student council election and there are a lot of characters who are not very interesting... it's pretty lame. So, recalling all of that I'll definitely prefer Alya interacting with Kuze-kun. It's the strongest point of the show.
| @Hombre7Electrico You'll definitely love the final two episodes - in fact, I think every single anime-only are going to love them. Because whether you love Alya, Masha or Yuki or are even in it for the student council election or the plot; that being Masachika's past and his relationship with the Suou Household in general, it has everything. |

| No, wrong times to force anything related to the terroristic state called russia. While the original title was there before russian language became a tool of war, making an anime adaptation at these times is a mistake. |

| @aurora_yuuki Ukrainians do speak their own language, but since Russia is right next to them, and they’ve historically been under Russian influence, if not control, it would make sense that a lot of them would also speak Russian. And in terms of “what Russia has done to Ukraine“ have you not read the news in the past couple of years? Russia invaded Ukraine like 2 1/2 years ago! I mean I know that the news is often times not truthful, but it is a well-known fact that they did, in fact, get invaded by Russia! So it’s perfectly understandable why shineinn would feel a bit of animosity towards Russia. |

| @kiska-barviska So the autor of the light novel should not get their work praised and adapted to an anime because a country which is not even their own started a war? Makes no sense to me. And doubt the japs would care about a bunch of western normies complaning. |
 |
| It's just a romcom. Not an anime about russia. It's just that the 'russia' part was marketed a bit too much than necessary. They could've done what you've asked for but it's unreasonable to expect all that. |
| Loool man if you want more Russia just go to Russia. This anime is about school life and school romance and the fact that Alya is russian is just her character style and she has silver hair and she cutely speak in russian and thats really enough. Anime is a japanese work about Japan and should remain so. |
