Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian
| It felt pretty meh to me. This show's weakest link has always been the drama it tries to set up and it didn't help me get invested enough with its recent developments of the protags going against Yuki. |
It couldn't possibly be the best episode when it didn't have a single Masha frame. This is blasphemy. |
Peak ( . )( . ) episode indeed |
No, this isn't my signature-desu. |
| There was only 1 part that you can consider to be character development which is Kuze starting to enjoy this student council battle. But the trigger felt a little weak tbh, I think they should have subtly hinted at him starting to enjoy for now, and then we see how he gets passionate in the closing ceremony. I'll see how they execute the next episode before saying what they did here was 100% wrong. Definitely was the first episode where I had an emotional response which is a good start at least. |

I was not expecting for Yuki to be so selfish. If it was possible, she would have liked to be the only one competing for the president council spot. But I don’t blame her, she must live now on her family’s expectations instead of her brother.
Anyway, it was a great episode, I like Alya even more after this. I am sure she will win the elections.

| @OtakuKun1 It's the opposite, really. She did all this because she wants more competition. Like Masachika mentioned, Yuki purposely chose a timing that wouldn't have much effect on the student body. So why did she do this? Because she wanted to rile Kuze up by making him feel a legitimate threat. Before this, he was able to win out in every situation without any effort, but Yuki proved that if he doesn't take this seriously then he will lose hard. |

Yeah I agree. I've been enjoying the show for sure but I feel like the student council drama's the weakest part honestly. It takes itself way too seriously. I'm here for the rom-com not student politics π
| @Master_Chef Because it tries to balance the rom-com with the council drama, the depth of the backstories and student council incidents is somewhat lacking. I would've preferred if they commited to one route while having minor progress in the other, but this 50/50 situation doesn't feel right. Especially when the rom-com parts aren't integrated at all with the drama, it feels like 2 separate anime. One week we get one, the next week we get the other. |

Don't know about that. I never like the drama part in any romcom. The comedy scenes are the only worth and good points of romcom in my opinion

Then make sure to not come back for season 2, it will legitimately get dark
| @Amairs does it improve upon its drama elements? It's been incredibly low stake and of low substance thus far, and the show is overplaying its supposed seriousness - the transition between the comedy elements/lighthearted moments and the drama is jarring. Masachika and his mother's relationship was a bit interesting to see, but it was barely touched upon and treated as an afterthought. Alya as a character has been...very one dimensional. I'm curious if source material improves on this. |

Yea it was pretty messy imo they sorta just flashbanged us with some vague lore about his mom. The whole Alya going to yuki house and not suspecting ANYTHING On how yuki has such close connections with masachika. The Ayano bit could've been way more interesting if we got some insight onto the family from her viewpoint (coming from the fact that the whole mom thing happened end of last episode). The best part then was Yuki plan in which like BRO IT WAS SO PEAK YUKI IS JUST SO PEAK SHE PLAYED HER SO BAD IT MADE ALYA LOOK LIKE A 1 DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER. but anyways yea just felt like the anime thought we'd forget everything that happened at the end of last episode in which just left me with like yea i enjoyed the episode but was just confused is all

I feel like they hit us with a neuralyzer and had us forget the ending of the last episode. I would've liked to see Kuze and his mom interact, and more of the grandpa too. But nope, I guess we'll just skip all that and pretend that never happened.

Ep11 Roshidere is probably the best episode so far now I thought i was the only one who noticed this, i agree completely, this episode is amazing. |

Yep idk why they treat student council elections like some country election shit in anime lol
| @Apratim That's a troupe. Though in general, student councils in Japanese high schools are of great importance and held in high regard. |

| Its pretty average. And from the pattern here, looks like we wont see true best girl Masha in the next episode because it will be purely Alaya. This is the first anime (that I can think of) that the main heroine isnt the 1st or 2nd best girl. And we still didnt get the obligator beach episode. |
