English Dub Review: My Tiny Senpai “Shall We Go Somewhere Before We Head Home?”

Overview:

Katase and Shinozaki pretend to be a couple. They also spend Christmas together.

Our Take:

Katase and Shinozaki seem to grow closer together in each episode. A content creator named Hoshi Ayukawa seems to think so as well. She wants to interview couples for a video and she begs them even after they tell her they’re not dating. They do manage to put on a rather convincing act, though.

The two also spend some time together after the company’s Christmas party. They walk around town, look at the Christmas trees, and even exchange gifts. It’s not the most romantic outing, but it’s still sweet.

It fascinates me how many different awkward situations these two can get themselves into. The interview is a real treat. Katase and Shinozaki and pretending to be a couple, but they seems to be admitting their fantasies a little bit as well. It makes for a funny scene.

They also share Christmas stories from when they were kids. They’re pleasantly surprised to find out that they’re still the same as they used to be even though they’ve grown up. That’s a simple touch, but it’s still very heartwarming.

This might not be the most memorable anime Christmas episode. That being said, it’s still enjoyable and it does manage to progress Katase’s and Shinozaki’s relationship even further.
