This episode discusses the second half (volumes 7–12) of Hot Gimmick by Miki Aihara.Oh, so you thought the first half of Hot Gimmick contained the worst of the problematic hot trash? Think again. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and Naja of Blerdy Otome are back to talk about this wild, wild ending to a wild, wild series where all the content warnings apply. Who does Hatsumi end up with in her triangle of horrible choices? Why are Tachibanas like this? What are you doing, Shinogu? Who is THE worst character in the entire series (on a scale of constant abuse and gang rape to actually why the heck isn't this series about cuties Subaru and Akane?)? What are the most popular ships on Ao3/FF.net for this series, and do the people writing it know they're wrong? All that and more is touched on in this podcast episode. You've been warned.REFERENCESHot Gimmick is available from Viz Media in EnglishHot Gimmick S is a reimagining of the endingOther anime/manga mentionsGundamMy Hero AcademiaArchive of Our OwnFanFiction.netMisc. media mentions"We Found Love" by Rihanna and Calvin HarrisOtome game: In Your Arms TonightOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USFind Naja's work on her website, Twitch, Twitter, and BlueSkyShojo & Tell on Bluesky, Tumblr, Instagram, and TwitterAshley on Bluesky

In this episode, we talk two newly-released free-to-play RPGs in Zenless Zone Zero and The First Descendant. Plus, news out of Anime Expo like Ys Memoire, Trails Through Daybreak II, Heaven Burns Red, Death end re;Quest Code Z and more.

This episode discusses the first half (volumes 1-6) of Hot Gimmick by Miki AiharaIt's here. It's finally here. Shojo & Tell host Ashley has been trying to make this episode happen for at least two years. And now, here we are. We're talking about the first half of Hot Gimmick, aka, Hot Trash, aka Hot Mess. Seriously: Content warning for basically everything. Ashley was prepared to have nothing nice to say about this series (she's read it before and thought it was the worst shojo series ever), but it's surprising what reading something 12 years after your initial encounter with it can do... Naja of Blerdy Otome is a big fan of Hot Gimmick, despite also recognizing that it's extremely problematic. There's underage sex and drugs, there's blackmail, there's demeaning servitude, there's gang rape. And that's just the first three volumes. Hatsumi's a doormat, Ryoki's bad, Azusa's bad, Shinogu's bad trying to be good, Akane is the reason we're in this mess. Only Subaru is good. Team Subaru!

It's been a long week of gaming and Josh has managed to finish off a few titles that he's been working through for a while. On the other hand, Paula is still chipping away at a few core games that have been getting better and better as she continues to dive into strange worlds and traffic control systems. The topic for discussion this week is the April Game of the Month over on HLTB, including this year's April Fool's pick, which Paula has a lot to say about. Although, it seems that not everyone in the community is as excited for a pigeon visual novel as our resident Otome expert. Finally, Josh gets to quiz Paula on a game in their guessing game, but will Paula finally be pipped at the post? Tune in to find out.

This week we get all romantic and have a big chat about everything Otome, Romance, and Valentine-related in video games, but not before we delve into everything we've been playing. Paula has levelled up her football skills while dealing with VIP clients and Pokemon Banks. At the same time Josh fought a giant foot, a tall ghost woman, and was swept up in the cringe of teen angst. Can he get over it in time to guess a game in the weekly guessing game? The answer may surprise you… (or not)… (in fact it probably won't).

We're back to regular programming again this week as Paula tackles another series of Otome routes, while Josh gets stuck into a couple of mysteries and some point and click adventures. With only one retirement and a few more on the go, it's time for the winner of our guessing game to pick a title for the other to play, before kicking off a new round with a fresh guess. Will Paula take an early lead in this secondary instalment? The answer may surprise you!

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 WishSupport the show

As the end of the year draws ever closer, we have a look whether we succeeded with our gaming goals for 2023, as well as setting new ones for 2024. Meanwhile, Paula has been on an emotional rollercoaster while laser focused on her latest Otome. In contrast, Josh has played a whole heap of different games, including some Itchmas in July titles and some fresh takes on alternate media. Then we wrap everything up with a lightning round of our guessing game, where Paula may once again show us why she's the champ.

The Otome is strong with this one, as Paula stays hooked on threads and colours, while Josh has been coming to grips with pan-dimensional orbs and Tokyo-based hauntings with full mouse and keyboard support. Plus, this week we're talking about some of those games that we love, but everyone else seems to hate, and why that could be. Followed by an unexpected result in this week's guessing game!

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.TW: Discussion of: Assault, SA, Racism, SexismSupport the show

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 color wheel? I mean…it's an otome game so probably. Games discussed: Olympia Soiree, Tears of ThemisNone of the games or characters discussed belong to us.Support the show

We've seen it before, where our main character gets isekai'd into an Otome game and has to re-write her destiny to NOT die. However, in Taming The Final Boss, we have some solid story progression, interesting characters and great sound and art style. Has this show perfected the Otome Isekai genre? We hope you agree with us and give this show a watch! In this episode we also discuss the first episodes of both Chainsaw Man and Mob Psycho 3, how Rie Takahashi is the best and how sometimes beloved shows and movies need to just end already.

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 Soiree, Touken Ranbu WarriorsNone of the games or characters discussed belong to us.Support the show

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 she asks them to leave out the simple syrup though. Delicious. Vka, however, completely disagrees and suggests an Iced Vietnamese Coffee with Sweetened Condensed Milk!So grab a hot beverage (or iced because Vka can't drink hot things), kick back, and enjoy the usual banter. We've updated our release schedule so it accommodates our lives, which means we will be *crosses fingers* updating more regularly again!Games discussed: Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers, Code: Realize, Colorful Stage, Delphine's Discovery, Fire Emblem 3 Houses/Warriors, Gakuensai no Oujisama, Genshin Impact, Ikemen Sengoku, Love unHOLYC, nu Carnival, Piofiore: Fated Memories, Scandal in the Spotlight, Sin o Alice, Stardew Valley, Tennis no Ouji-sama Dokidoki Survival, Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 4th Heart, Olympia SoireeNone of the games or characters discussed belong to us.Support the show

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 because it's literally impossible to be serious while playing this game. Tara the cat also makes multiple cameos.Sorry about the unofficial hiatus, friends. We'll get back on track eventually. In the meantime we're also streaming Otome games on Twitch, if you want to check that out!Games discussed: BU$TAFELLOWS, Collar x Malice, Code: Realize, Diabolik Lovers, Hakuouki, Ikemen Vampire, Ikemen Sengoku, Obey Me!None of the games or characters discussed belong to us.Support the show

Have you ever you followed a hot dude down an abandoned hallway in a museum? Yes? Uh...ok...hmm...

Vka and Vki help you navigate how to play, the characters, as well as discuss the thoughts and FEELINGS they have on the game. So. Many. Feelings.

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.

Where they talk about all 7 seven avatars of sin (and some heavenly ones too) as well as give a thoroughly confusing but very in depth gameplay overview of a mobile otome game like no other. Vka also outs her sister as a prophet and squeals over birthday phone calls from her sexy demon boyfriends while Vki encourages poking them in all kinds of places. Join us for a RAD adventure in the Devildom!Games discussed: Cupid Parasite, Ikemen Vampire, Obey Me!None of the games or characters discussed belong to us.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/OtomeShimai)

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 down a dark alley in the middle of the night after the 2,000 year old vampire LI who excitedly fell in love with them at first sight told them not to?THIS ENTIRE EPISODE.So join us on a journey of “oh that's interesting” to “WTF NO” in the first episode we've been able to slip mentions of a Sugar Beans game in to for a while.Games discussed: Alice in the Country of Hearts, BU$TAFELLOWS, Cafe Enchante, Code: Realize, Collar x Malice, Diabolik Lovers, Hakuouki, Hanasaku Mani Mani, Ikemen Vampire, Love Drops, Norn 9, Obey Me!, Romeo vs. JulietNone of the games or characters discussed belong to us.Support the show
