Was trying to write up a post ahead of time while the episode was airing and didn't mean to hit enter (was entering in an image and pressed enter on my keyboard instead of pressing the actual insert button and it submitted thepost, really wish this wasn't a problem) Unfortunately, it won't let me delete it, it says failed to delete Apologizes for having this posted early (hopefully it can be removed before the episode ends? If not then I'll have to edit in my message afterwards. Good lord, the eyes on Kuze and Yuki at the start, really putting on a lot of emphasis to the pressure of the election. Honestly the whole speech, you would think that Alya would be the one that would be to convince everyone, but seemed like Kuze was the only one who carried all of the weight with his speech, but passed all of the praise and hardwork over to her. Very cute ending though, both getting embarrassed about calling Kuze his name, their relation really sped up within the last couple of minutes... but it was VERY lacking for what is supposed to be the last episode. This definitely needs a season 2, not exactly sure how far episode 12 is from the current light novel, but won't be surprised if they approve for a second season, especially since the way the episode ends is just asking for another season with how the election hasn't even actually happened yet. Season 2 announced https://x.com/moca_news/status/1836419912212058601 |

| Well that’s a wrap, 9/11 for porn addicts now that there’s no more weekly incest bait. Honestly though this was a good finale and reminded me why I like the books in the first place. No fanservice, no brocon gimmick, just showing off how far Alya has come as a person and leader and Kuze being there to support her. Roshidere is at its best when it’s episodes like these. Everyone a demon till a real demon show up. The look on Yuki face when Kuze went off on her at the start there was brilliant. I know she wanted to bring out the best in Kuze, but be careful what you ask for lmao. Yuki speech was solid, she said what people want to hear and on paper she’s the ideal student council president, BUT everyone likes a good story and I think Alya was able to convey her growth and challenges she’s had to overcome in her speech. Starting off speaking in Russian was dope too because everyone likes foreign and exotic stuff+ saying she does that when she’s nervous gives relatability. “The picture perfect ice princess gets nervous?” type shit. She also showed she’s able to move forward and work with people she’s had heated debates and disagreements with and that while she might not have everything figured out, she’s got people there to support her that will help her find the best answers. There’s a level of humanity to her speech that Yuki doesn’t have, which again goes back to how far she’s come since she started off as this picture perfect idol. And I love the ending! Alya calling Kuze by his first name finally and agreeing the hang out over summer break. Very satisfying ending to a show that at times I had issues with, but they nailed this. |

| Masachika and Yuki's Diplomacy are on another level. Intimating Yuki-Chan was the great choice made by our truly. it's finally the time for the formal presidential election campaign, Yuki is definitely one tough cookie to win over, plus Ayano the ninja girl assisting Yuki-Chan adds her chances of winning. But Our Alya-chan have her way of getting attention π with the Russian language, and that's Masachika's idea of course. She succeeds in the talk with genuine heartfelt message & now it's time for our CHAD to give her the definite win chances with obvious mischievous behaviorπ€£ plus Tamiyama formally joins forces with Alya-chan in the elections but for only this time, Now have to win this with Our CHAD boy. Have to wait for the subtitles to understand what she said in Russian lol ππ. Alya's wishes of calling each other by their given names come true lol π€£ with masachika's intentional interference. Season 1 Ends here What a Cliffhanger!!! but i am assured this is gonna receive Season 2 production announcement. Score 8/10. Finished on 18th September 2024 at 20:27 Hrs IST. Edit: Season 2 Anime Production got announced right after the broadcast πβ¨  Illustrations For Celebration π:- All mighty Moderators Apologises in advance, I can't control myself from uploading these  π»  |

| I mean, I'll take anything with Yuki tbh, but for a final episode... this was just meh. Her and Masachika's cunning faces this episode were funny to see lol. Idk man, just didn't feel like a finale at all tbh. At least Masschika spoke in Russian for once, I guess? Alya as delusional as usual though, sigh. Overall, this is nothing but your bog standard romcom you get every season, and in this season with a cesspool of them, this doesn't do much to stand out. I'll miss my weekly dose of Yuki though, that's for sure. Last year we had Shikimori as the overhyped Doga Koba romcom, this year it’s this… Nicest way I could put it |
 |
| Well it looks like a proper ending not something set up for a second season even if it's obvious there will be one. Anyway i was thinking this would go bad for them but it seems it was Yuki's loss. This was in my opinion the best anime of this season i enjoyed every minute of it and it was nice seeing the main characters get closer towards each other. The are almost on couple level which is nice. Still there are some thing that still need to be solved which we will hopefully get to see in a second season, personally i would like to see Alya finding out that Yuki and the main are siblings, i think her reaction would be interesting. It's also not entirely clear why the main left with his dad and it seems to me it has something to do with his mother but it could be related to the grandfather as well. |

| Even though Yuki admitted her defeat, the battle for student council presidency isn't over yet. Face forward and we shall find out in season 2. I will give this rom-com anime a 9/10 as we're left out in a cliffhanger for sure. |
 |
| Hell of a speech by Alya. She deserved to be there and imo, it was the most believable way to end the season. They had a journey that had its many entertaining moments. I definitely enjoyed this season overall. Now we got season 2! https://x.com/roshidere/status/1836419915001029035 |

| @Stark700 Well it was already obvious we would get one, as mentioned in my earlier post there is still a lot of things that need to be resolved. |

| @RaiYou I wish it would be. Other than having cute girls, a few funny moments and a fun MC, the plot of this show is just a colossal borefest. Do we really care who gets to be the SCP? Does it even matter when the gang sticks together regardless? I don't think so. This whole series was a wasted potential. Would not rate it above 6/10, and 2 points from that go for Yuki and Masachika's character, who completely outshine the titular heroine. |

| Funny anime just weird timing with all that's been going on with Russia lately. I like the two MCs a lot but the rest of the cast was just there. Little sister was cringe af. 7/10 |

| @Suginami85 I respect your opinion, at the same time I feel like some viewers who watched this anime just for incest stuff and that's it. It was annoying as hell. I do appreciate Yuki for all the comedy she delivered and I tried not to overreact, just so you know. |

| @RaiYou I do not think the incest was ever serious. Ofc, had they better explained the siblings home situation instead of wasting time on boring political speeches, it might have made more sense why Yuki is acting that way. |
|
| @MegamiRem You should have watched Makeine then. That show blows Roshidere out of the water. |
|
| The closing ceremony should be a piece of cake for Alya, but after Yuki's overwhelming taunt, Masachika gives his best to assist her to avoid the latter psychologically cracking down. With all facades thrown out the door, only sarcasm takes shape between the Suou siblings being like pitbulls against each other. What sets thereafter is the onset battle between the president potential hopeful and the president candidate challenger alongside the even more cunning brother onboard, and with the actual ceremony presented to the student body, it's the true test of not just getting the votes, but the confidence that gets the influence to swing votes to their side. While Yuki goes first, she set the trend and Ayano backed that up, giving a rather masterful speech. And come Alya...she goes full-ham Russian due to nervousness, but that's actually Masachika's plan to pour cold water on the student body and get them to put her on a pedestal to overdeliver with full-on focus. Masachika going on thereafter with his own little Manzai comedy that he dumped Yuki to support Alya instead, you could tell that he has the morales of a former vice-president and knows how to adjust the competition to his strength with the absurdity to bring both Taniyama and Nonoa to their side, which is a ballsy one-time high-stakes risk that delivered to an ovation that completely destroyed Yuki and Ayano. First names for a start...is quite the embarrassment, as Summer break prep for the upcoming student council president election faces forward. Season 2 naturally comes to the table, and this will be a fiery psychological battle incoming. |

There's something uniquely unnerving about visibly seeing someone who usually has a perma-smug face like Yuki visibly lose their cool.  Surprised with how much psychological warfare between prodigy siblings was in something advertised as "the romcom with the Russian tsundere" but this was still a fun ride. Also half-expected Alya to find out Masachika could understand Russian all along when he looked ahead right after he was told to, and for that to be the cliffhanger of the season lmao |

| This fake hard persona Yuki tries to be comes off very cringe ngl, even if sometimes it was intended to be as something funny. This was a good show, definitely one of the few shows I was looking forward to every week, although I still prefer Makeine. I hope next season we'll get to see the characters discover things like them finding out Yuki and Masachika are siblings or Alya finding out Masachika could understand her all this time. |
| Ah, Alya Didn't Hide Her Feeling In Russian. The siblings's psychological warfare sure is the highlight of the episode, but in the end Alya character development won the day.  |
| Masachika got Yuki good there with asking help from Taniyama. Their little confrontation before the speech was intense, they both could kill with the look on their face. Good speech from Alya, great voice acting from Uesaka Sumire. Alya started calling him by first name too so that's a win for her there as well. Also lol Yuki giving major boss character vibes, nice one their Ayano. Enjoyed this the most out of all anime this season, such a fun watch with amusing and pretty waifus and character interactions. Animation, visuals, voice acting were really good too. Super looking forward to season 2. |
 |
| Hyped for the second season. Good anime. 7/10 |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Really nice seeing Alya speak so well to the student body you can just see how much becoming student president would mean to her. Kuze's speech was also fantastic and Alya has the perfect running mate to back her up. Am so glad to see that season 2 is already confirmed this show has been fantastic. |
| How dare Masachika to talk about dumping Yuki in his speech, he doesn't deserve his godly sister π |
| So after they win in S2, where is the story going? Alya and Kuze didn't progress at all, I hope they do in S2. |
| I got full diabetes on Masachika and Alya's last scenes on this episode. That was the moment that they should have become lovers soon or I might go into insanity. I know Alya is the endgame as it is very obvious from the start but still. And holy shit I am not really expecting a 2nd season. Thank god Doga Kobo decided to milk this. More Alya is always welcome for me. |
 |
| Peak comes to an end, what an incredible journey. This final episode had everything that made Alya special in the first place, cute characters, RUSSIA, Yuki, and Romance. The speeches also felt realistic, It's convincing enough to be taken seriously. Reminds me of my High school student council Vice President speeches. Loved the way the characters strategically planned on the spot, Happens a lot when voting and giving speeches. This episode really tied up loose ends and gave us an ending, granted not one that I loved but an ending that I liked. I will definitely read the LN since i'm impatient and cant wait for season 2! Roshidere a 8.5/10 |

| At the end of the day, we all love watching trash. |
| Alya and Masachika did a good job getting the student body on their side with their speeches at the closing ceremony, especially after having to follow up a solid speech from Yuki. I’m glad this got a 2nd season announcement as this conclusion definitely doesn’t leave a sense of closure. We’ll get to finish off this election plot line and then see what more this series has to offer. That final scene between Alya and Masachika was super wholesome and sweet. Need more of that fr. Looking forward to S2! |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| A bit of an underwhelming season finale to be honest. |
