>>280583597 >If Yuki actually had asperations to win she would have.
That's the thing, isn't it? She talks a big game but doesn't have the initiative to claim what's hers. Alya is the best in this show because she tries.
Also the show is shit and FUCK the student council BS.
Oh, that's a good image. I'll definitely use it for that thread on /e/ of female characters coveing their own breasts, if *anyone* is interested, yeah, look forward to that, I'll make that thread tomorrow or this wednesday at the latest.

I'd like for Masachika to be an aspiring diplomat interpreter and for the overarching plot to be him to get more and more capable with languages while still trying to hide that he knows Russian from Alya. There, came up with something 10x better that keeps up with the premise on the spot.
>>280584056
this is why you're a moron jacking off to Ayla rather than writing a show. You don't know how to write a romance. You're going to write a regular MC that happens to have a romantic love interest on the side.
>>280584056
That's nice and all but you're not really getting what the themes of the story are. It has to be about Alya learning to thaw her heart and embrace the collaborative culture of Japan rather than stubbornly cling to her western individualism, with Masachika aiding her towards that end, and Yuki has to be a rival in her goals or what's the point in her as a character
>>280584150
She's Russian, so she's obviously the foil to his goal.
>>280584282
I'm saying the story themes as they are are shit. And Yuki clearly isn't doing much for this either way other than being the incest bait character.
>>280584367
Are you going to explain why the themes are bad, or do you just have trouble with structuring sentences to differently address objective qualities and subjective opinion?
>>280584407
It's a bait and switch. It starts as a comedy centered around teasing from behind a language barrier, then it gets serious. The tonal shift makes it just come across as dishonest when it tries being a serious coming of age story like you mentioned.
The building blocks to this being a silly romcom based around the gimmick with Masha being the girl from the past were all there. That was all it should have been.
>>280584578
why should that be "all it should have been". Complaining that the story becomes more serious is a terrible criticism. Stories can have way more than one aspect and themes. The idea that everything must conform to "your specific rules and taste" is absolutely asinine.
>>280584578
It doesn't "start as a comedy", it establishes a tone and a recurring motif that will be present throughout the series. I swear, nobody who complains about this series even finished the anime season. I don't even like this but I at least know what the hell it's about.
When does Alya fall in love with the MC? I have not watched this series yet but I really dislike it when the main couple fall in love too early or god forbid the story starts out with one of them already in love.
