Otome Shimai

Send us Fan Mail

We’re taking another game break, which means it’s time for some pure, unadulterated nonsense! Vki and Vka are back with another round of Otome Superfight, but this time, we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of pulling from multiple worlds, we are confining the chaos to Burlone residents only.

That's right, it’s a total Piofiore Massacre.

We didn’t just stop at the main Love Interests either—we threw the side characters into the ring too. Because why should Yang and Gilbert get all the "glory" when we can pit the rest of the mafia (and the church and the police) against each other in ridiculous hypothetical battles?

How badly will the sisters bend the laws of physics and logic to make sure their favorites survive? Who gets completely nerfed by a hilarious handicap, and who walks away unscathed? Will Vka lose again because her sister always finds a way to make her concede? It is literally impossible to be serious during this episode, so come pull up a chair and see if you agree who wins each round of Otome Superfight!

It's time for another go at ranking the love interests of our favorite otome games and this week we've recruited the wonderful Sami Nash to help us judge the beautiful, tragic men of Virche Evermore -ErroR: Salvation-!

Ranking these LIs is never easy but it's a lot more fun with three sisters in the mix. We spend this episode laughing through the doom and gloom as we debate the truly hard-hitting questions: Who is objectively the most attractive? Who would actually make a functional husband for our girl Ceres? 

We also find out what a bank vestibule is (thanks Vki) and try to figure out which of these cursed men could we actually stand being stuck in one for three hours. (Spoilers: Some of them would make those three hours feel like an eternity).

Don't despair and come join the three of us as we find salvation in these rankings - or at least have lots of laughs trying! 

Go check out Sami Nash! We had the absolute best time recording with him - Thanks for joining the sisterhood for the day, Sami!

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 taken 48-72 hours of recording, and we both have full time jobs). Can Vki convince Vka to give Skyrim a chance? Take a listen and find out!

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 played the game.

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 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.

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.
