As mentioned earlier, the anime adaptation of the book “Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian (Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go by Dereru Tonari on Alya-san)” is one of the most anticipated projects for the season of Summer-2024 (July-September). Internet users are attracted not only by the curious story of a romantic comedy with a Russian girl, but also by the visual quality that promises to surprise with each new episode.

And the high expectations are not surprising, considering that Doga Kobo Studios are responsible for the animation and have recently stood out in productions such as “The Doga Kobo Studios”.Oshi no Ko” and “Jellyfish cannot swim at night (Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai)”. Also, Yuuhei Murota is in charge of character design, after having been responsible for projects such as “Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san“, “Love Live Project! School Idol“, “Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi“, and “Love Live! Sunshine!“projects that stood out in the same aspect.

And it turns out that Japanese netizens have finally started to appreciate this franchise through the promotional videos, although Sumire Uesaka's work on Russian intonation is still unconvincing for some.:

• “She is extremely expressive and cute, I love that.“.
• “Your voice is definitely not an attractive aspect, but everything else is.“.
• “The art style is impressive“.
• “She has white hair, so she will definitely be popular in China.“.
• “It seems that his Russian pronunciation and intonation were widely criticized by the Russian public.“.
• “It looks like this will be the successor to Oregairu, and I'm pretty excited about it.“.
• “Is this produced by Doga Kobo? It seems that since Oshi no Ko they continue to produce wonderfully.“.
• “It's only natural that an anime starring Sumire Uesaka would be promising.“.
• “If this anime fails, it will be the end of light novels and comedy soap operas.“.
• “Even if you don't speak Russian, I think the subtitles will appear on the screen, so it will be very accessible.“.
• “I bet the people responsible for the production will receive letters of protest from a certain small country backed by Western powers that cannot defend itself alone.“.
• “It seems like it could dominate the hentai doujinshi scene, especially if authors start to contaminate the story with infidelity and rape.“.
• “I will always be a fan of plays where a dark or tanned girl ends up being rejected.“.
• “The Ukrainian ambassador will be totally pissed off by this anime. He recently got pissed off by a Russian food restaurant in Tokyo.“.
• “I don't know, but the deer girl anime will certainly compete with it.“.
• “I couldn't tolerate Shikimori-san, I don't have high expectations for it.“.
• “Russian characters often have a face that appears to be made of ice.“.
• “I took a look and saw that the only anime next season is a romantic comedy.“.
• “I wish they had pronounced the Russian better“.
• “I'm reading it in Magazine Pocket, but it's very boring. Although the character designs are great“.
