| My thoughts on the episode. 1. This title is literally harem LN from the 00s in its purest form. 2. Why does the accent of the characters in Vladivostok not sound like Japanese speakers speaking Russian, but like Russian speakers with speech impediments? I'm familiar with Japanese accents in Russian and this is far from that. Although for some strange reason the VA of boys again speak more or less. 3. Again a message about the importance of mutual support and the dangers of overworking? Is this a cry for help from the animators? 4. Have all the women in this show had some kind of relationship with the MC in the past and are in love with him? 5. Are the old Japanese hits somehow related to the themes of the original LN? I didn't find the show particularly concerned with the theme of nostalgia, especially since all the characters were born in the mid-00s. |

Got some good background information in this episode with finding out that Masachika and Yuki's parents did indeed divorce and it looks like Yuki got her last name from her step dad. Also, got a reveal that Alya has a sister, Masha, whom is most likely Masachika's Russian childhood friend and I think Masha has already realized that.
I think that both Masha and Yuki will end up teasing both Alya and Masachika since they both know Alya likes him but I'm not completely sure if Masha will pull more moves of her own like she did in the tea shop (maybe that was more teasing).

Masha won't tease. She will do something really different.
| @DragyG Really? Thanks for not spoiling but I'm definitely curious as to what Masha does as an anime only. This has been one of my favorite new series that I'm watching this season 👍 |

Instantly dropped. How can they skip the most important scene of the entire series LOL the dance scene literally explains exactly their dynamic, the reason why Masachika does what he does and throws out a glimpse of their own motivations as well
It's the perfect scene to flesh out the chapter and they skipped it... was a cool adaptation but choosing to skip this scene out of all shows a lack of discernment from the director. SMH

Come on bro the Taniyama & Nonoa VS Alya & Masachika debate + Alya's speech at (my guess) episode 10 will be enough to show their dynamics.
They haven't even revealed Ayano yet so they aren't showing the character's dynamics atm.
| @DragyG Is it possible and/or meaningful for them to show the dance scene later in the show and just make it a new flashback? @RafaBryan Considering how much of a magnet this guy is for the Russians, it looks like he's the real incarnation of Sumipe in the show, not Alya, lmao. |

Would be pointless in my opinion except maybe a conversation between Yuki and Masachika before the debate but watch the opening. The dance is already in the anime and already shows what it has to for whoever be smart enough to think about the opening (since it is very good)
| @DragyG Then why do people complain so much about "cutting it out"? |

| @DragyG Bro is missing out. Alya's speech will either be in Episode 9 or 10. That felt so damn good to read, so satisfying. The emotions I felt the day when I read that chapter... They still resonate with me. Loved it to bits. |

1) Depends on what you call harem.
3) Roshidere is a story about growing up and in Alya's case growing up mean learning to rely on others and get people to be your friends.
4) No
5) The endings are related to the episodes but unless you are familiar with Japanese it's indeed pretty hard to get.
| @DragyG I don't know what you mean by harem, but to me this show looks like something like Toradora or Haganai in terms of concept and vibe. Sharky altruistic MC, memetic waifu, lots of moe and a semi-idealized semi-realistic school setting. You misunderstood me a little. I mean, why are they complaining if the scene was moved to the opening? |

And that Masachika line
Look forward
To who was he actually speaking...
| @DragyG Yes, I was about to say that, but did not want to spoil. But now that you've said it— "Keep your chin up!", he shouted from the right wing of the stage in Russian, making Alya come to her senses. She then realized that she has someone who she could count on more than anyone else in the world~ I can't even put it into words how immensely satisfying that was. That was chef's kiss. (◡ ω ◡) The more I read the LN, the deeper I fall in love with it~ |

Ho they altered it a bit then in Japanese it really was Look forward.
Yeah Roshidere is really so well written when it comes to characters I can't believe the author actually thought about writting a comedy at the beginning. Even when I exchange some lines with him on Twitter he be joking but what he is writing is clearly no joke. (Even though one chapter per volume remains comedy)

| The ED song for this 3rd episode was amazing. This anime has high potential of being a 10 out of 10 imo. So far it's a 9 for me. This was truly unexpected, I was expecting this show to be some mediocre romcom like most of them but its not. Hopefully it keeps up with itself and finish out great. Loved this episode. |

Special mention to that long afterword solely made so we could get the Momoco illustration at the end

| Let me just say this: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SPOILING THE SHOW WITHOUT SPOILER TAGS. Especially when you claim to have read the LN and still make substantial mistakes about the content. So, you actually spoil wrong. Sheesh. |
| Very interesting episode. We get to know more about Alya and it seems that a new girl is entering the competition. I believe I guessed who she is to the MC. It's obvious afterall... |
| Would’ve loved to see the dance scene adapted. But you can’t have everything, and this was still a great ep |

| I really enjoyed this episode. I'm not sure what compelled me to watch this series since it's outside of my usual wheelhouse, but I'm more and more glad I did with each episode. It was nice to see some of Alya's past and get an idea why she's a bit solitary and standoffish. She seems to be a very serious person so it does kind of makes sense she'd draw the conclusions she did about not relying on other people. I already adore Masha and you can tell right off the bat that she was Kuza's childhood friend and the reason he learned Russian. I wonder how sure she is about whether he is the same boy or not, and if she knows he was faking not understanding her speaking to him in Russian. I'm really looking forward to seeing her and Kuze interact more and what effect her presence will have on Kuze and Alya's relationship and interactions. I'm super excited for the next episode. I almost want to just go ahead and read the LN.. a week feels like too long to wait. |
| Kuze won Alya's heart, it was so cute to see their flashback, oh Masha is the one in Kuze's flashback I wonder how Masha will interact with Kuze in the future. No Yuki this episode is a shame, and no fan service I don't know whether to be happy or not. Omoide ga Ippai covered by Sumippe is very good and as usual the ED visual is very cute to see these two Russian sisters.  |

| I thought some of the writing a little sketchy this ep, but I'll give this a pass for the 3 eps test, and stick around for a few more episodes at least. |
| @speedemon192 CR seemed to be having a lot of server issues earlier in the day |
| another great episode. nice backstory with how alya and kuze met, and it seems masha is another fun addition to the cast. so she also knew him during their childhood too, kuze's situation with his parents was also pretty interesting. also another banger ED song. |
 |
| What a backstory from Alya. Oh no the sister was the childhood friend... what a twist, it seems like she realized Masachika was him too but did she just back off because of Alya? oh boy this is getting spicy. Also a little glimpse about Masachika tragic past as well. we got another New Cover ED?? |

I hope it doesn't end up being a love triangle between the sisters and Kuze.
