I think with the eye-colour "changing" between the present and the playground flashback, its just that Masachika doesnt entirely remember what she looked like, therefore he projected Alya's eye-colour onto her in his memories.
Also some people with blue eyes at young ages have been known to have it change as they grow up usually to green but also to other colors on rarer occasions. Although that’s probably not what happened
@@Daimah That's what I was thinking too. Since they are sisters, having the same eye color would not been unheard of. Like you said, she started wearing contacts to 'fit in' more. As for hair color, it can change some from when you are young or get dyed like you said.
just for those who don't know actually is pretty common that kids who were born with light color of eyes and hair can get darker as they grown up, that happened with masha and alya, actually both of them were blonde with blue eyes... ( the novel explain that this is probably because her mother is japanese).
Russian native speaker here The language is grammatically 100% correct, but at some moments a bit too formal for the elementary school kids. And yeah, all the actors speak with heavy Japanese accent, but it is still good comprehensible even without subtitles The handwriting in Alya‘s note is also just over the top in terms of language and autencity, I was pleasantly amazed with that Thanks for the reaction!
Really? I found it quite hard to understand especially during the backstory but I guess I am not really a native speaker so maybe they are purely words I don't know.
14:58 Masachika really is so BASED. He just really wanted to supervise just because he handled the paperworks, and let others do the work. Truly a GIGACHAD moment. 🗿
17:13 I mean she has a point, but it's really hilarious how Alya is flexing her looks, and raw talents since birth while at the same time she really worked hard for it to get to where she is now really gives motivation to others to do well for their future.
19:10 This “Sorry, boys, she’s taken” scene was really so well done by Doga Kobo from that moment on, and my favorite image so far of the season. Alya and Masachika's life would never be the same. Despite with all of the intellect that she possesses, it’s hilarious that Alya herself doesn’t see that as the very obvious start of a love story makes you really think she really is just goofy as others, but won't show it. Luckily her sister Masha can obviously see right through her.
Natural blond hair and blue eyes can turn to brown. These changes are more common in earlier years but can happen naturally until puberty's end. It happens because of increased melanin production due to hormonal changes.
Ever since as a child Alya was such a hard worker, and always put a tremendous amount of effort into getting to where she is. Everyone thinks of her as the picture perfect beauty queen, but she worked hard for as we have seen today's episode, and pouring countless hours in to be successful. When she was a kid all she wanted was someone who could match that energy and understand her, but that didn’t work out in elementary school with all the kids wanting to take shortcuts, but everything changed when she met Masachika.
10:36 I really loved the Connie reference from AOT whenever there is a nearly bald head haircut character, because almost everyone of them have similar designs in anime after all. 🤣🤣
Alya's older sister Masha is finally here to speak into her heart, though from young Alya's always been an Ice Princess and one always gets her work done efficiently ahead of people, especially against slackers who just procrastinate until the deadline that hardens her heart all the way more, and her move from Vladivostok to Japan to meet yet another slacker in her class who is Masachika, she certainly didn't have a good impression of him at first glance who's sleeping through classes. Once again Alya tries to work alone for the cultural festival for her part, though Masachika is more capable than he looks, and she doesn't seem convinced that he'll get the job done. The endless prep of the overnight sessions that lead to the success of their class's cultural festival, Alya doesn't seem fazed whatsoever since she's treated as a princess, but she definitely went overboard with lashing out to Masachika, who's rather happy being the only guy who can call her by her nickname. And in this pretense that Alya falls in love for the very first time with Masachika being the capable CHAD who led her all the way, in the classic friends to lovers progression. But as for Masha, she remembers Masachika being the boy of her childhood, though entrusting Alya in his hands is even better. For me Masha is more of a mother figure than anything based on her eccentric and bubbly personality. That's my head canon, and my defense mechanism to prepare for the worst if that will happen in the future.
Also, an interesting fact about Russian names (you never asked for it and I‘m sorry, if it was already discussed before, but still) You probably mentioned that the full names of Alya and Masha are Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo and Maria Mikhailovna Kujo The thing is, every person born in Russia receives automatically a so-called patronymic, and it’s a legal thing, a part of a full name, you have it on all your documents - ID, passport, driver license etc.. It can be compared to a middle name in Western cultures, but in Russia it always derivates from father‘s first name and is automatically assigned to you by birth, whether you (or parents) want it or not (but theoretically it could be legally changed, for example, if you really hated your father as a child and want to have nothing to do with him and his name) So, in case of Masha and Alya, the name of their father is Mikhail, so they both have middle name Mikhailovna - that‘s the female version of the patronymic If they had a brother, he would be Mikhailovich (male version)
12:11 I think the former Student Council President that Masachika is refering here is Yuki as they are both President and Vice President on their time as middle school, and base on their uniform they are at least on that time. Alya just didn't find out till Yuki told her in episode 1 cause she just got transferred to Serei Academy is my head canon guess.
13:02 Ughhhhh he just rizzed me here man. I literally creamed myself replaying this scene many times. cawcawTV is the best anime reactor rizzler man. 😫😫😫
Masachika may not be a genius, but he’s a reliable hard worker who was probably the first person Alya had truly connected with on an intimate level, and has taught her some important life lessons. I really empathise with Alya in this one. It makes total sense to want to put your best foot forward with anything your name is attached to. It’s a very good habit to have going forward in life, but you also have to be able to meet people where they’re at as Masachika showed her making the festival a huge success.
Masha is going to drop from the running, but not immediately altogether. The way these things go, whereas Yuki would be the 'push from the front' rival to Alya, in a "come fight me bitch, if you can" way, Masha is the push from behind: "if you won't go out with him, I'll take him for myself, are you okay with that outcome?"
32:23 I feel really bad for Alya every episode she has been getting cucked, and having an L recently (if we don't include the backstory) i hope someday in the future she will popoff at some point in this season which will probably happen cause she is the ⭐ of her own show.
To me the childhood friend hair looks silver with a tint of yellow due to the sunset lighting which makes it look blonde. Always thought it was alya, even when i read the manga. Not sure if it actually is though.
I would say "Hey, there's another anime where the childhood friend could win" But then i remember, Alya's name is in the anime tittle 😔 Welp, another girl for the losing heroines anime 🗿
Dude.. this episode made my changed best girls so fast.. I thought I'm team Alya > Yuki but during those last 6 mins Masha stole my heart out of nowhere.. I thought I'm not going to be a fan since ep 1 I can already guess that she is the childhood friend... but that scene where she realized who Kuze was. that moment when her face changed... that got me y'all..
Masachika's face is being obscured in the locket is the same with Masachika's memories about Masha. Very blurred and fragmented. Masachika and Masha both has blurred memories towards each others.
8:00 comparing these kids to ayanokoji is quite unfair, don't you think? The curriculum alone that they grew up with is already a wide gap. Also she's only 9 years old in this flashback so that makes the comparison much more invalid W reaction vid btw
Russian speaker here So Some sentences are with such heavy japanese accent that I couldn't understand at all But as scene as whole, it's pretty good, even with this japanese accent And i also think that kids in russia a bit more careless so their speach would be less formal I also liked the handwriting, pretty accurate I also liked the classroom, in my school it's like that too
Masha call kid masachika sa-kun because she couldn't pronounce "masachika" and called maschika so she put that nickname and her colour in the past is blue because she can't clearly remember her face and he thinks she looks like that based on half memory. My personal thought only
Russian flashback unfortunately has a little too much truth to it then it should. Elementary school Slacker kids bullying go getters especially if they are girls is actually very common happened during my time in school and multiple of my cousins either were on receiving end or witnessed it.
Rooting for Masha, but I dont even think she’ll go for it because she doesn’t want to hurt her sister. You should read the manga if you haven’t. Your braincells will explode.
About the Alya's flashback:it is like engrish,but it is surprisingly good(well mostly).There is some moments where is sounds bad,but mostly it is AT LEAST decent
So with the Russian test I think he didn't go along with it because he admitted in episode one he didn't remember her name and her looks changed. He doesn't remember her and because of that he treated her as alyas older sister so if she knew he knew Russian she may tell alya
The episode was a nuclear explosion. Please please please don't have one of them be heart broken. Masha is so so sweet and I don't want to see her sad.

Could be, or given how japanese society is with people that stand out maybe Masha is wearing colored contacts and dyed her hair to fit in.
Also some people with blue eyes at young ages have been known to have it change as they grow up usually to green but also to other colors on rarer occasions. Although that’s probably not what happened
@@Daimah That's what I was thinking too. Since they are sisters, having the same eye color would not been unheard of. Like you said, she started wearing contacts to 'fit in' more. As for hair color, it can change some from when you are young or get dyed like you said.

This is a very strong accent for some. So much so that many words cannot be understood without subtitles.
thanks for letting us know

9:32 Masachika is literally the most GIGACHAD Male protagonist i have seen in a romcom. 🗿
Sakuta is peak!
5:10 Alya's VA literally popped off here with her russian. 🇷🇺
What is kind of funny is Masha is the childhood friend and Alya is the homewrecker.
Its nisekoi all over again
13:02 Ughhhhh he just rizzed me here man. I literally creamed myself replaying this scene many times. cawcawTV is the best anime reactor rizzler man. 😫😫😫

just to clarify mashachika is actually a genius, hes just lazy and likes to do things in the shadow (where people cant see)
As far as I know, eye colors can change up until your around ~21
6:57 Alya going Abiko route here you hate to see it. 😭😭
Masha is going to drop from the running, but not immediately altogether. The way these things go, whereas Yuki would be the 'push from the front' rival to Alya, in a "come fight me bitch, if you can" way, Masha is the push from behind: "if you won't go out with him, I'll take him for myself, are you okay with that outcome?"
26:25 I love how Sacchan from Isekai Shikkaku got reincarnated here in this world, so probably that's why sensei can't find her. 🤣🤣
32:23 I feel really bad for Alya every episode she has been getting cucked, and having an L recently (if we don't include the backstory) i hope someday in the future she will popoff at some point in this season which will probably happen cause she is the ⭐ of her own show.
Imagine regular japanese dude coming back home to watch some anime, and he have to read subtitles, lmao, now they are just like us!
Dude like I said before your cooking something and it almost the real plot🗿
4:15 Yes, this is equivalent to Engrish, but on Russian.
Around 30:06 you can see that she wasn't taking a pic of kuze with Alya-nyan, the plushie wasn't even in the frame lol
bro i just found ur first ep of this show ur funny asf def subing, hope to see ur grow even more and im excited to see more shows ur watching
To me the childhood friend hair looks silver with a tint of yellow due to the sunset lighting which makes it look blonde. Always thought it was alya, even when i read the manga. Not sure if it actually is though.
29:33 I really hope we won't go with the Nisekoi route here man 😭😭😭
Tbh i just look at the title and see alyas name in it, so if she didn’t win masachika in the end, that would be the biggest twist in anime history
There are only 2 kind of girls, childhood friend and the homewrecker
Ngl Alya is on 3rd place right now , it rarely happens that a main love interest is so low in the ranking 🤣
I love the way there is a little pain in Marsha voice when she heard Masachika name
I would say "Hey, there's another anime where the childhood friend could win"
But then i remember, Alya's name is in the anime tittle 😔
Welp, another girl for the losing heroines anime 🗿
Well, Yuki wins either way juat by the fact of her existense.
She wins my heart🗿
@@ivansolodyankin6820 Im talking about Masha, Yuki's his cute sister and best friend, he already loves her in another way.
@@yuu2744 i know, i was just joking about how Yuki explained that siblings are childhood friends too.

I see. Welp, i also think they do a really good couple. Sad they're siblings, their dynamic is just so wholesome and fun.

The characters are well wirten man❤
Bro has to pick between sister,classmate and sister's classmate💀
sister's classmate? did you mean classmate's sister?
Yes I made a mistake there lol
one more upcoming who was his and his sister's maid.
Russian speaker here
So
Some sentences are with such heavy japanese accent that I couldn't understand at all
But as scene as whole, it's pretty good, even with this japanese accent
And i also think that kids in russia a bit more careless so their speach would be less formal
I also liked the handwriting, pretty accurate
I also liked the classroom, in my school it's like that too
Masha call kid masachika sa-kun because she couldn't pronounce "masachika" and called maschika so she put that nickname and her colour in the past is blue because she can't clearly remember her face and he thinks she looks like that based on half memory. My personal thought only
You butchered the name completely differently than how she does. She couldn’t pronounce i not second a.😂 It’s Masachka not Maschika
@@mrksimka1159 huh??
Peak as always🗿
Even if we like the Masha remember Childhood Friend never wins thats why Alya will take the W.
Russian flashback unfortunately has a little too much truth to it then it should. Elementary school Slacker kids bullying go getters especially if they are girls is actually very common happened during my time in school and multiple of my cousins either were on receiving end or witnessed it.

Always so conflicted when love triangle happens. Wanting to root for both of them but don't want either of them to suffer

back with more alya!
As a russian speaker, some parts are honestly lacking in clarity but its okay. 🗿
Honestly don't know how the gym part can be seen as slacking to me I can see it as just lack of stamina
Sister route is always the best option you can go for
Rooting for Masha, but I dont even think she’ll go for it because she doesn’t want to hurt her sister. You should read the manga if you haven’t. Your braincells will explode.
I wonder if the piano scene will happen in this season coz it's in the opening, that scene is from volume 6 or 7 of light novel
About the Alya's flashback:it is like engrish,but it is surprisingly good(well mostly).There is some moments where is sounds bad,but mostly it is AT LEAST decent
The lore has strated
In truth, kuze is a genius and alya is a hardworker
Here we go again🗿🗿
So with the Russian test I think he didn't go along with it because he admitted in episode one he didn't remember her name and her looks changed. He doesn't remember her and because of that he treated her as alyas older sister so if she knew he knew Russian she may tell alya
I loved these corny lines 😂 12:58
I did not sleep for this video caw peak reaction🗿
The episode was a nuclear explosion. Please please please don't have one of them be heart broken. Masha is so so sweet and I don't want to see her sad.
I think he pretended to not know russian when alya’s sister spoke russian because she might tell alya that he actually understands russian
