Otakus are delighted with the new Russian waifu — Kudasai

One of the most anticipated premieres of Summer 2024 (July-September) was definitely “Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian.” Today, the first episode was finally released, surprising viewers from the start with the spectacular opening sequence featuring the musical theme “1-Ban Kagayaku Hoshi” performed by Sumire Uesaka.

Many agree that this far surpasses the opening of the second season of “Oshi no Ko,” also produced by the studios Doga Kobo and released today.

But what truly caught the most attention was the protagonist, Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou. Intelligent, refined, and remarkably beautiful, this half-Russian, half-Japanese girl is considered the idol of her school. She is interested in Masachika Kuze, the protagonist, but due to her pride, she does not want to admit it. Instead, she says nice things to him in Russian, believing he doesn’t understand her. The twist in the story occurs when Masachika reveals he can speak the language.
