English Dub Review: My Tiny Senpai “He Wants to Talk Privately…”

Overview:

Shinozaki and Katase see a couple of their coworkers fooling around while on the clock. This leads to Shinozaki wanting to talk to Katase about something.

Our Take:

Katase and Shinozaki go down into the basement to retrieve some merchandise. A couple of their coworkers sneak in and start kissing. Shinozaki and Katase hide in a locker until they leave. Naturally, this creates an awkward situation between the two.

It does get Shinozaki thinking and he wants to talk to Katase in private. Katase wonders what her kouhai wants to talk about and thinks he might want to ask her out. Meanwhile, her coworkers put thoughts in her head that starting a relationship could make either one of them act stupid. This leads to a rather disappointing “confession” scene.

This episode starts off well enough given the hilarity of Shinozaki and Katase hiding in the locker. However, the last scene before the credits really brings it down. I guess there’s still time to remedy this situation, but the idea wasn’t even given a chance. This scene is pretty disappointing.

There’s also a post-credit scene that shows the characters in a magical girl-type setting. It’s a neat idea, but it feels like unnecessary fluff to pad out the rest of the episode. After all, this goes on for about three and a half minutes. That time could have been used to improve the previous scene.
