Did you know that, other than otome, the sisters have VERY different tastes in video games? We’ve started a new series called “Otome Shimai: Sister Side” where one sister (tries to) explain their favorite games to the other! In this episode we journey into the world of The Elder Scrolls as Vki introduces Skyrim to Via! Expect laughter, confusion, and maybe just a pinch of chaos. We’ll dive into the shallow end of the lore, mechanics, and Vki’s personal experiences (a deep dive would have take...

Episode 41: Otome Superfight Pt. 2

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 they touch into hummus? Who ends up controlling an army of tweens? And how badly will the sisters bend their logic in order to get their otome LIs to...

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 Purple People Eater” when talking about Yosuga! Oh. It’s just us? Welp. Come join us as we go down the clusterfuck rabbit hole that is the 50 diffe...

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 society. Can Olympia find her true soul mate in this place where departed souls make the sun shine and the plague is running rampant through the ...

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.

Episode 35: Line Up and Size Up - Ranking the LIs of BU$TAFELLOWS

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$TAFELLOWS Love Interests! Vki and Vka tend to disagree on a lot in this game, so what will the rankings look like? As usual, we get derailed but it’s always a good time. Also! The mug with HIDEYOSHI’S face on it makes a few appearances, because we decided to spice up a few of the questions with extra randomness. Games discussed: BU$TAFELLOWS, Olympia...

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 she asks them to leave out the simple syrup th...

Episode 33: Game Break! Otome Superfight!

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's top half with Satan from ObeyMe and Yang from Piofiore being distracted by shiny things. This time we don't talk about anything serious becau...

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) Also!

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 changes her mind, right? It means I’m awesome,...
