Episode 36 - Gakkou Gurashi
Returned once again with another (hopefully) (somewhat) well-known Kirara title to close out the season! Gakkou Gurashi sure turned a lot of heads with its gotcha bait-and-switch when it dropped in 2014, but is it really just all shock value? Did it only turn heads or did it turn Ranka and/or...

-
Episode 22 - Acchi Kocchi
The rarest of Kirara rarities: a hetero romance. It is absolutely the first thing, but is it at all the second thing? Let alone, is it even a fun thing?? Enjoy as Ranka and I try our hardest to make a compliment sandwich for Acchi Kocchi, and then settle on a compliment tartine, or maybe more of…
more -
Episode 21 - Stella no Mahou
That Kirara show about video games? Yeah you know the one. No not that one. It's Stella no Mahou!! In one of our most heartfelt and intellectual conversations thus far (for real), we gush over Stella's love and attention to the doujin creation and doujin market scenes while waxing nostalgic on…

-
Episode 16 - Comic Girls feat. @AtashiBastard
An anime about manga? What the hell are they going to think up next... Kirara's stab at the shockingly autobiographical leaves Mallory and Ranka with mixed reactions and a lot of hilarious material to talk about. Thank god for that, cause I think we're about to get audited... Longer one, so it's...
