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!

    Episode 41: Otome Superfight Pt. 2

    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 survive each battle?
    Also included, us being really sad about multiple previously recorded episodes having to be scrapped because the audio was garbled. We may have cried a bit.

    Games discussed: Radiant Tale, Ikemen Vampire, Ikemen Sengoku, Jack Jeanne, Olympia Soiree, Winter's Wish

    Episode 37: Reviews in 2s - Olympia Soiree Pt. 2 SPOILERS

    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 different main stories and side quests that makes this extraordinarily entertaining game.

Fun conversations about Otome games

I just completed my first otome game and wanted to know what other people thought about it and the genre. And then I found this charming podcast with 2 sisters “book clubbing” these types of games. You both are so much fun to listen to. I’m now playing Collar X Malice and listening to your hot takes. Oh and I’d love to hear your thoughts on “Oops, I Said Yes,” which was the first otome game I played (on Nintendo Switch). Thanks! (Oh and yes, one of the LIs is a grumpy guy who likes cats. Also, the MC has a job, two best friends, and is pushing 30.)
