Two sisters who have been playing Otome games, both individually and together, for 10+ years. We're always discussing the games we're playing and different Otoge related subjects anyways, so we decided to turn it into a podcast! Disclaimer: None of the games or characters we are discussing belong to us. Please don’t sue us.
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! The sisters have been looking forward to Date Everything! for SO long, and it does not disappoint! Join us for a first look at this utterly unique sandbox dating sim that features all (YES we said ALL) your favorite voice actors. Expect us to dive into the punny names, chaotic interactions, and a how much we love the representation in this game.

SPOILERS INCOMING
In this episode, sisters Vki and Vka take a wild ride through the intricate world of Evermore Error Salvation, diving into the plot twists, character arcs, and the infamous bad science that permeates the game. Spoilers abound as they dissect the game's storylines, from the tragic fates of...everyone to the convoluted mechanics of...everything. Please don't expect this to make sense if you haven't pla...
In this episode of Otome Shimai the sisters dive into a spoiler-free review of Virche Evermore: Error Salvation and test the limits of anguish, suffering, and zetsubou. Or does zetsubou actually have limits? This game makes it really unclear...
As always, the first episode of Reviews in 2s will give you a sneak peak to the world of the game and the characters who live in it. We also yeet at least one LI off a cliff. Enjoy!

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 they touch into hummus? Who ends up controlling an army of tweens? And how badly wil...
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 for providing us with a copy of Winter's Wish for review.

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, Ikemen Prince
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.

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!

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 Purple People Eater” when talking about Yosuga! Oh. It’s just us? Welp.
Come join us as we go down the ...
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 society. Can Olympia find her true soul mate in this place where departed souls make ...
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.

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$TAFELLOWS Love Interests! Vki and Vka tend to disagree on a lot in this game, so what will the rankings look like?
As usual, we get derailed but it’s always a good time. Also! The mug with HIDEYOSHI’S face on it makes a few appearances, because we decided to spice up a few of the questions with extra rando...
HELLO FRIENDS WE STILL DO THIS. It’s obviously been a minute (again), the summer of 2022 has been a bit wonky for us. But hey, at least no one is in the hospital anymore? Whoohoo!
We talk about a LOT in this episode. Think of it as having coffee with a couple of friends you haven’t seen in a few months. Mmm…coffee…have y’all tried Peet’s Coffee’s Brown Sugar Oat Milk Latte? That’s Vki’s favorite right now…it’s a little too sweet so ...
Oh hey look, a new episode!
That we recorded months ago. That's what we get when both the co-hosts have full time jobs.
Anyways, this is a very silly episode where we play a very silly game that involves pitting Otome LIs against each other in a fight. HOWEVER. They also get advantages (handicaps?) like replacing Yukimura from IkeSen's top half with Satan from ObeyMe and Yang from Piofiore being distract...
Have you ever you followed a hot dude down an abandoned hallway in a museum? Yes? Uh...ok...hmm... Did you end up going through an unmarked door in said hallway that caused you to time travel back to 19th century France? No? Thought so. (Although I now understand your priorities a little more.)
Ikemen Vampire: Temptations in the Dark! Vka and Vki help you navigate how to play, the characters, as well as discuss the thoughts and...
This is the spoiler heavy and serious episode on BU$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 players with.

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.
This episode also features a bit of a sneak peak of Nochi Studio’s upcoming mobile game, Som...
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 would be the best at making Beef Wellington? (Oddly enough, the recipe is included in this episode...
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 usual. Vki is just that good at convincing her sister that she’s right. (That’s what it means when she ...
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 listen for how many times Vki calls Vka "rude". Let us know how many you were a...
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
