Murder, She Doted... It's kind of appropriate that Allen tackled The Dangers in My Heart, because this is probably the sort of thing Teasing Master Takagi-san popularized, and that thought is not lost on him as he tackled the reviews for those shows too. Either way, he finds the show compelling and definitely worth the watch. And that's once again that. Join us next week when we'll be... ranking the ranking. Because there's always a list to be made, I guess. -Stig Høgset.
