Send us a text Note: We're using new software for recording and are still figuring the technical stuff out. Apologies if anything funky pops up! We took a break so it's time to play a game! Vki and Vka round out 2023 with another episode of Otome Superfight. Which means we spend an hour talking about nonsense hypotheticals. Who turns everything the…

Send us a text THIS IS LATE we are sorry Vka lost her voice and Vki also got sick and has been doing overtime. Excuses excuses, our apologies. Sneak peak of the newly released otome game, Winter's Wish: Spirits of Edo! Super fun, super tropey, supernatural historical Japanese otome game. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thank you to Aksys Games…

Send us a text IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! The game Vka has been waiting for for YEARS. Join us as we dive in to a sneak peak of Jack Jeanne, the rhythm-stats-raising-otome that takes you on a musical journey! Thank you to Aksys Games for providing us with a copy of Jack Jeanne for review. Games discussed: Code Realize: Future Blessings, Jack Jeanne, Ikem…

Send us a text Oh hey, we did a collab with Blerdy Otome! We're ranking LIs. It's fun. We all like Olympia Soiree. And each other. There are no spoilers. This is a placeholder description because I feel like someone is squeezing my uterus. I promise I'll do better with the next one. Games discussed: Angel or Demon?, DRAMAtical Murder, Norn9: Var Co…

Send us a text Norn9 is getting a Switch port! And we got a sneak peek. What's in store for new players and what has been updated for those of you who played the Vita version? Featuring some super special info by Anne Lee, who worked on the localization! Thank you to Aksys Games for providing us with a copy of Norn9 for review. Chic Pixel - Anne's …

Send us a text Spoilers Spoilers SPOILERS. This episode has spoilers. Olympia Soiree has so much lore it could fill a swimming pool. Twice. So, we pared it down as much as we could to the juicy bits and still ended up with our longest episode to date. …ok, we admit, there may be a few sidebars, but who can help but sing “One Eyed One Horned Flying …

Send us a text Racism and classism and sexism, oh my! The sisters do a shallow dive (deep dive is Ep. 37! ) into the world of Olympia Soiree. A world where your color means everything and women are for making babies. Wonderful. At least the LIs are hot? We'll be doing an overview of Tenguu Island and how its inhabitants live and navigate this rigid…

Send us a text Otome Shimai went to Crunchyroll Expo 2022 in San Jose! So this is us talking about it. What did we do, see, buy, and eat? DID THEY HAVE ANYTHING OTOME? Also, how was it with Vka pushing Vki around all day. We’re calling this a short, but it’s not actually that short. It’s ok. We tried. Spoon Theory Games discussed: Olympia Soiree No…

Send us a text This is the one where we come up with silly questions then debate them seriously. This time we’re taking a deep dive into the BU$TAFELLOWS Love Interests! Vki and Vka tend to disagree on a lot in this game, so what will the rankings look like? As usual, we get derailed but it’s always a good time. Also! The mug with HIDEYOSHI’S face …

Send us a text HELLO FRIENDS WE STILL DO THIS. It’s obviously been a minute (again), the summer of 2022 has been a bit wonky for us. But hey, at least no one is in the hospital anymore? Whoohoo! We talk about a LOT in this episode. Think of it as having coffee with a couple of friends you haven’t seen in a few months. Mmm…coffee…have y’all tried Pe…

Send us a text Oh hey look, a new episode! That we recorded months ago. That's what we get when both the co-hosts have full time jobs. Anyways, this is a very silly episode where we play a very silly game that involves pitting Otome LIs against each other in a fight. HOWEVER. They also get advantages (handicaps?) like replacing Yukimura from IkeSen…

Send us a text Have you ever you followed a hot dude down an abandoned hallway in a museum? Yes? Uh...ok...hmm... Did you end up going through an unmarked door in said hallway that caused you to time travel back to 19th century France? No? Thought so. (Although I now understand your priorities a little more.) Ikemen Vampire: Temptations in the Dark…

Send us a text This is the spoiler heavy and serious episode on BU$TAFELLOWS. As much as we'd like to create a quippy description, the fact of the matter is that there's a lot of dark topics discussed because this game gets DARK. We'll laugh and joke where appropriate while diving into and unraveling the mysteries that BU$TAFELLOWS presents it's pl…

Send us a text Look! An episode we’ve been trying to record for months! Here’s the long awaited (by us at least) first installment of our BU$TAFELLOWS review. This episode is SPOILER FREE so anyone can, and should, check it out. In addition to going over the basic plot, characters, and things to watch out for, we also talk about cats and nipples. T…

Send us a text What do two lawyers, a cop, an EA, and a vampire have in common? Not much apparently. Wait, no! They’re all in this episode, Side Tracked by Side Characters Pt. 3! The sisters introduce five more side characters they love and Vki has weird hypothetical situations to discuss again. I mean, which one of these characters do you think wo…

Send us a text We’ve been waiting to do this episode because the LIs of Piofiore are HOT SHIT. Literally (in Yang’s case). Ranking ikemen has never been more entertaining (or weird) as Vki and Vki discuss everything from who’d be the best espresso-partner to who’d survive the longest on a deserted island. Also, Vka changes her answers. A lot. As us…

Send us a text Do you know how to play Taboo? Because Vki doesn’t. This episode is Vka taking advantage of that. Vka put together a new Game Break for the new year and this one is full of laughs and ridiculousness (as usual). Join us as we try to get each other to guess the character with informative clues like “Sus“ and "I like this character" and…

Send us a text Amnesia! Memories! The anime! Is it good? Is it bad? Will Vka remember the plot of the game? How many minutes are just Vki ranting? The sisters spend this episode comparing the Amnesia anime to the Amnesia game and spend most of the time just wondering what the heck is going on. Also, Kent’s butt. (Minor spoilers in this episode, but…

Send us a text On this week's episode Vki and Vka miss all but one opportunity to make inappropriate "D" inspired jokes on the mini-series with the longest name "Bishounen on the Go-nen How Did I End Up Romancing This Ultra Hot Guy on My Phone?" this time featuring Obey Me! Where they talk about all 7 seven avatars of sin (and some heavenly ones to…

Send us a text 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…

Send us a text 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 …

Send us a text 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 …

Send us a text 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…

Send us a text 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…

Send us a text 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. En…

Send us a text 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 a…

Send us a text 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), V…

Send us a text 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 …

Send us a text 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:…

Send us a text 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 a text 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.

Send us a text 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 swea…

Send us a text 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.
