[@FerunaLutelou]

As a russian Its so weird to hear people from other nations try to speak russian. Btw "milashka/милашка" should be translated as "cutie" instead of "cute". Basically, its the kind of word you would probably use while talking privately with your friend about cute animals or your crush. Kinda means the same thing, but its a more endearing form of the word "милый / милая / милое", which just means "cute" and can be said in public without embarrassing yourself.

[@Skgaton]

解説ありがとう

[@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi]

Thanks for explaining this. I think Crunchyroll actually did translate it as "cutie" in the subtitles. More specifically "You cutie you" was the Crunchyroll sub translation.

[@FerunaLutelou]

@@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi it's a bit inconsistent

I gotta say, this show has had to be one of the drippiest student uniforms in anime rightnow.

[@Tsukki07]

in the manga, the school is meant for aristocrats, elites, and nobles (this one im not sure of) idk why theyre kind of playing it down in the anime

[@kevinb5417]

​@@Tsukki07 It's not that they're playing it down, they're just skipping an absolute shitload of content. The first 4 episodes cover 30 chapters worth of the manga - which is the entirety of the first volume of the light novel. The pace is insane. It'll be *way* past the manga by the time season 1 has ended.

there were some changes from original. in the manga the dude learned russian from watching russian movies with his grandpa. and the sock scene played differently and was a bit spicier.

[@futavadumnezo]

It was quite erotic but also it was atmospheric with her sitting in the window like that. The manga is very well drawn.

[@kimpresto8292]

Nope, first they don't have the same hair color, second the mc said his childhood friend was russian and alya is half Russian only and lastly if alya is the childhood friend then she wouldn't hide her feelings in Russian because she would know the mc understands Russian unless she doesn't know they're the same person but the child friend clearly knows the MC's name so alya is unlikely to be the childhood friend.

[@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi]

But is her "Milishka" really the Russian way to say "You cutie you"? And what about the rest of what she said in Russian and how the anime translates it? I really hope that Alya Russian is accurate to Real Russian.

[@CanCanbI4]

​​@@BoomdroopInfernal-ChiRussians are more straightforward. A completely different word order. Another stress. A different intonation. Alya is a typical japanese tsundere who sometimes speaks russian. In the interview, VA communicated better. I think this is more the problem of the original author, who did not really try to understand another culture and mentality.

[@陳泓叡-r4d]

@@CanCanbI4 Yes, the novel author doesn't know any Russian. When he was creating the story, he only wanted to select one language that most Japanese don't understand. Also, this story was not a long and detailed story at first, it was only a small light novel on the website. It was fixed into a long and fun story after a famous publisher found it and decided to make it big. After that, this light novel went viral, but few readers discussed the Russian issues because most Japanese don't know it at all !

[@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi]

@@CanCanbI4 . Ah so a good speaker of Russian adapting poor Russian dialogue into the anime from it's source material.

[@CanCanbI4]

@@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi I won't say it's good. Rather not bad. But she's generally trying, and that's good.

[@tfj_personal]

Alya VA deserves a round of applause. It's clear that it's kinda hard for her to speak in russian but she really tries. Even though some hard phrases are fumbled, most of the time you can understand what she's saying if you're a native speaker.

[@Ririkaislove]

The va play some russian character before

[@John_Alter]

Sumire Uesaka (Alya VA) is fluent in Russian since she is took an interest in Russian culture and majored in the Russian language during her time in university.

[@tfj_personal]

​@@John_Alter she doesn't seem fluent to me, she's doing really good, but her accent still really strong

[@deerglx4732]

I mean, she did sing in Russian before for Girls und Panzer. Her character was singing Katyusha. While riding tanks through Soviet winter. Yes, you read that right

[@osiris3962]

it's probably to makes it kinda understandable to the japanese too but yea her russian accent when play as russian anime character is still the same as when she was doing Idolm@ster anime almost 9 years ago

[@GeraldWalls]

10:25 Did you notice for the two Kujo sisters the naming order was Given, Patronymic, Family (and spelled out in katakana, I think) and for the Japanese girl it was Family, Given (spelled out using kanji)? The translated Russian is also spelled out it katakana. (StefyO said that the Russian was OK but was mispronounced, and that they usually played music over it pretty heavily so it was hard to hear it.)

[@endlesshaze5647]

Ok but why your "milashka" sounded more natural than hers 😭

[@avocuddles23]

Idk if I'm mixing my thoughts with some other anime/manga but the childhood friend stuff, I feel like I read or watch about this with nisekoi long time ago. But I like the dynamic of this and nisekoi especially the 1st season with the monogatari vibes

[@GeraldWalls]

20:40 "She says the same thing and says it means different things, and then says different things and says it means the same thing." You should listen to the Japanese while you read subtitles. Do you know how many translations I've seen for "itadakemasu", "hai", and "so ka" (or whatever than damn word is that I hear all the time but that G translate doesn't recognize).

[@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi]

I think this happens because some Japanese words (I think) actually have such a definition that multiple English words are the correct translations of a single Japanese word. Like I think Itadakimasu means both "let's eat" and "thanks for the food" but both of those translations are correct. I might be mistaken but pretty sure I'm right. And then some Japanese words have different translations based on context, I think.

[@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi]

"Hai" can mean "Yes" but I think it also sometimes means "right" and sometimes even "Roger" or "Indeed". The crazy thing is I'm pretty sure all of those different English translations for just this one Japanese word are all correct.

[@GeraldWalls]

@@BoomdroopInfernal-Chi Same thing with English, but we just don't see it. The Inuit (native Alaskans) have many words for what we would just call "snow".

[@nicholasjacobs6605]

I'm probably gonna enjoy it either way, but the translation seems a little weird and the localizers are definitely adding a bit it feels like, with all the internet slang or just out of context use of words like bap (which is British slang for women's breasts btw, idk why a Japanese person would be using british slang). Tho the fan translation I've seen doesn't add all these stuff (like they just say that he's a fan of boobs and butts in the fan sub iirc), its still pretty awkward in it's translation at times.

[@zam023]

I think this localizer is against using the words "boobs". I agree that this set of subs was horrible. The channel I watched at has much better subs, and they did use "'boobs".

[@xlodvig]

Russian and Japanese are quite similar in pronunciation so that Russians who learn Japanese do not need that much time to adjust the accent. Still it isn't walk in a park, but English in terms of accent is harder. It works both ways. Sumire studied Russian and her Russian is good for someone who rarely speaks it. As for actor who voices Kuze he didn't learn the language but immediately pick up after Sumire so that they speak almost in the same manner. That's fun to hear.
