In a unique take on the isekai genre, Otome Game Villainess is about Katarina Claes, a girl who finds herself reincarnated in her favorite visual novel—and she has to rewrite the story if she wants to survive! Join us as we revel in Katarina's dopey yet irrepressible charm, discuss the Dostoyevskian implications of anime villain redemption arcs, and delight in pronouncing the show's ridiculously long title. And in the inferior world of non-moe anime, we discuss: Gunsmith Cats, a girls-with-guns OVA with a lightweight but undeniably entertaining take on American popcorn action flicks, and Hyouka, an imaginatively animated blend of the high school and mystery genres from Kyoani's golden age. We'd love to hear from our listeners!
