FAP-370 My Tiny Senpai - A Work Place High school Style Story
from Featured Anime Podcast · host Featured Anime Podcast
This week we talked about “My Tiny Senpai” and the discussion was a bit of a ride because we spent the first half totally talking past each other. Jack was trying to give the Manager credit as well shed light on what he was doing, while Rick was convinced he was talking about the main couple's lack of progress. Once we cleared that up, we both agreed that for an office romance, these characters and the anime as a whole acted way too much like a high school show rather than a workplace romance show. Rick argued that the show's "goldfish memory" where progress basically reset every episode made him feel anxious through the whole thing. And Jack felt like the whole season felt like one giant filler episode. About the anime:My Tiny Senpai is basically a cozy office romance slice of life type of show where Takuma Shinozaki is a new-ish employee trying to keep his head above water, and his senior coworker Shiori Katase keeps swooping in with praise, encouragement, followed up with a “I’m just being a good senpai” type of feeling and mentality that keeps throwing him off his game. The catch is, she’s tiny, she’s adorable, and way more doting than a normal workplace relationship would/should allow.Next Week's Pick: “The Great Cleric”Have you had the chance to watch My Tiny Senpai or any of our previous selections?
