Otome Shimai

Send us Fan Mail This week Vka and Vki return to their original mini-series, “Why Would You Do That?” where they pick apart different tropes they’ve noticed in Otome games. And yes, the title is “That” and not “This”. Vki apologizes for getting it wrong in EVERY SINGLE OTHER EPISODE. Ok, here’s a riddle: What do you get when an 18 year old MC wanders down a dark alley in the middle of the night af...

Send us Fan Mail CAN WE DATE THEM? No we can't. The sisters talk about more side characters that they wish they could have spent more time with! Which one made the Shinsengumi butthurt? Who raised 6 sons with no life skills? And do we actually want to date these characters? Also, Vki makes Vka mad. Again. We hope you enjoy the second installation of our mini series, Side Tracked by Side Chara...

Send us Fan Mail THIS EPISODE HAS SPOILERS. SO MANY SPOILERS. But you know what isn’t a spoiler? How much we love Gilbert Redford. Seriously, A+ to the World's Best Mafia Boyfriend. Vka and Vki go through the twists and turns in each LIs route, PLUS the True End and Secret Character! Will you learn anything new? Did we forget anything? Could we have gone over MORE??? (Yes, this could’ve been...

Send us Fan Mail THE SISTERS ARE BACK FROM HIATUS! In this episode we: didn’t read our notes, left a cat in the room, forgot how to say “kidding”, and didn’t tell you who Yang is. We did, however, show our usual insane amount of biases. If you haven’t played Piofiore or are looking for a spoiler free review/overview, this is your episode! Ep. 22 will have all the Spoilers with a capital S. Also, a...

Send us Fan Mail Battle royals, aliens, and cats? Ranking LIs lets us bring up some fun topics. Vka comes up with strange questions then refuses to answer one. Enjoy 40 minutes of us being biased...again. ALSO, we have an ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of this episode, so make sure to listen until the end! Games discussed: Ikemen Vampire, Piofiore, Collar x Malice (briefly Hakuouki and Diabolik Lovers) N...

Send us Fan Mail Sisi is the REAL main character and Lupin is actually fairly useless. (You're not wrong, but you're also not right. -Vka) Well then maybe you should write these descriptions! (Nevermind, you can be right. -Vka) The sisters compare Code: Realize the anime to Code: Realize the game and Vki only pisses Vka off with her opinions once. Enjoy. Games discussed: Code: Realize, C...

Send us Fan Mail It’s pretty safe to say that the Main Character of an Otoge is one of the most important aspects of a game. Without them it would just be...a bunch of dudes running around doing things like, I dunno, murdering people usually. So today is all about our favorite MCs and why we love them! Come join us as Vka and Vki discover that they absolutely, 100%, no doubt, have a type. Games di...

Send us Fan Mail Vki will buy a game just because Sugita Tomokazu is in it, but does Vka even know who that is? Find out today as we jump into another Game Break. Play along with us as Vka tries to match the VA to character’s she’s chosen!  Note: Both Vki and Vka forget the rules halfway through, as usual. Vka’s LIs: Impey Barbicane (Code: Realize), Victor Frankenstein (Code: Realize), Ikki (Amnes...

Send us Fan Mail A continuation of last week's episode where we finish introducing the Season 1 datable warlords from IkeSen AND talk a little about Ikemen Sengoku: BROMANCES Across Time (the anime, this is the actual name of the anime). Join us on a journey of fondue, Monty Python references, and angry Disney Princesses as we do our best to discuss the actual game and not just how much we wa...

Send us Fan Mail How would YOU like to pull sexy Sengoku era warlords out of your pocket? What? Your pockets are FAKE? Damn the fashion industry forcing women to buy extra accessories! Anyways, what about your phone, does having sexy warlords on your phone work? It does? Great! Then we have the game for you. Today, Vka and Vki discuss Ikemen Sengoku: Romances Across Time. We'll be going over...

Send us Fan Mail Vki wanted to call this "Yelp for vampires" but that is both overly silly and an inaccurate description of how we're doing these ratings. Enjoy 25 minutes of us being biased!

Send us Fan Mail A continuation of our mini series “Reviews in 2s” where we review Otome games in two episodes, first one (not this one) is spoiler free while the second one (THIS ONE THIS ONE) is SPOILER HEAVY. Collar x Malice, featuring ALL the secrets! Ok, maybe not all of them because then this episode would be 5 hours long. At least. In addition to telling you who Zero is, we discuss watering...

Send us Fan Mail Can Vka and Vki guess the LI in 10 questions or less? This episode showcases our EXTENSIVE (well, not really) knowledge of Love Interests as we play an Otoge version of "Known For", which is really just 20 Questions but with 10 questions and two hints. Who are the LIs? What will the loser's punishment be? How many times will Vka swear under her breath? Find out in t...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever started up a new Otoge, had a ridiculously hot character come on-screen, then immediately found out that YOU CAN'T DATE THEM? We share your pain. In this episode we're talking about some of the side characters that we wish were LIs! Do you agree with our choices? Games discussed: Amnesia, Café Enchanté, Collar x Malice, Hakuoki, Hanasaku Mani Mani, Ikemen S...

Send us Fan Mail Diabolik Lovers: More Plotholes! Vka and Vki compare the second season of the Diabolik Lovers anime to the second game, Diabolik Lovers: More Blood. We're doing two episodes on the second season, this one focuses on the plot and what the anime could have/should have added in in order to make even a little bit of sense. Spoilers for both the anime and game, mentions of icky an...
