Only ten people were supposed to be present for the final test, which takes place over fifty-three days on a spaceship, but there were eleven! Listen as Giana and Chika talk through their speculations on who was the mysterious extra crew member, the unexpected conversation about gender on different planets, the magnificent Knu, the forced romance between Tada and Frol, and so much more.

Ooku: The Inner Chambers Finale (Eps 7-10)

4/14/2024
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes seven through ten of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode seven, Sutezo’s profound love for his daughter tugs heartstrings. Arikoto’s and Sutezo’s first time meeting is uncomfortable to say the least. It is heartbreaking to see Arikoto’s rage and depression after everything he’s been through. In episode eight - Gyokuei, more like Gyoku-gay, am I right? There’s something very funny about Iemistu and Gyokeui getting it on for Arikoto’s sake. In episode nine, neither Chika nor Giana attempt to sugar coat the way they are ROOTING for Kasuga’s impending death. Sutezo’s passing was a devastating situation all around. In episode ten, the loose ties and unanswered questions leave much to be desired with the finale of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Rachel the Shoujo Scholar review episodes four through six of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode four, you can tell by the tone of our Floats Your Boat that this episode was going to hurt us deeply. Waka Murasaki meets a terrible fate, forcing Giana to hate Gyokuei with no hope for redemption. Rachel points out the interesting role reversal between Arikoto and Iemitsu. In episode five, Arikoto provides the ultimate fan service for bi individuals everywhere. Chika makes an interesting connection between Arikoto’s switch in devotion from Buddha to Iemitsu with cults. The question is raised: Why hasn’t Iemitsu simply killed Kasuga? Iemitsu’s painful past stirs up empathy for her. In episode six, Kasuga’s state of health brightens everyone’s spirits. Sutezo’s arrival shakes things up for Arikoto and Iemitsu. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

The Zequel ft. Colleen's Manga Recs (Ooku: The Inner Chambers Eps 1-3)

3/17/2024
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Colleen of Colleen’s Manga Recs review episodes one through three of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode one, Mizuno’s story is a mesmerizing one to follow. Yoshimune’s approach as Shogun is praised. The darkness woven throughout the Ooku is both intriguing and disturbing. In episode two, we meet the sweet and responsible Arikoto, whose life is forever changed upon “visiting” the Ooku. We also meet Lady Kasuga, who makes a permanent home in Hot Fudge after forcing Arikoto to stay at the Ooku by literally any means possible. In episode three, we learn more about Iemistu and Arikoto’s life at the Ooku. Iemitsu’s gift of a white cat to Arikoto at the end of the episode stirs up some both serious and extremely unserious Sprinkles on Top. Gyokuei’s character is lightly analyzed and Kasuga is roasted yet again. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

My Happy Marriage Finale (My Happy Marriage Eps 10-12)

2/25/2024
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes ten to twelve of My Happy Marriage. In episode ten, Kudo is commended for his passion and determination to stay by Miyo’s side. It was quite a shock to learn that Miyo had more immediate family, and also Arata’s weapon of choice in his duel with Kudo. Miyo’s dishonesty with Kudo upsets both Chika and Giana. In episode eleven, Giana shows appreciation for Miyo’s courage to stand up to Arata, even in small ways. Chika advises Miyo to not automatically follow the orders of her grandfather that she’s never met. Surprisingly we have... spanking? in My Happy Marriage? In episode twelve, Miyo not only finds healing through her powers, but saves Kudo. The lack of a kiss between Miyo and Kudo stirs up some frustration. The Emperor’s motive is confusing to say the least. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

Grotesqies ft. What Do You Say Anime (My Happy Marriage Eps 7-9)

2/18/2024
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review episodes four to six of My Happy Marriage with Pete and Miles of the What Do You Say Anime podcast. In episode seven, justice certainly tastes like a sweet sundae as everyone celebrates the Saimori’s downfall. Hazuki brings, as Miles points out, a new, interesting pace to this anime as a far more upbeat, energetic character to a more generally reserved cast. Pete pours some fresh, piping hot fudge all over Kouji. In episode eight, the grotesqueries really shake things up: Giana is intrigued by the presentation of the curse, Chika is grossed out by them, and Miles points out the lackadaisical attitude the fabulous heir has about fighting against them. In episode nine, Miles gives a clearer perspective on some confusion around Kudo knowing if Miyo fainted in his absence. Miyo and Kudo’s vulnerable nighttime conversation brings on lots of shoujo feels. Arata gets BOILED in hot fudge! Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes four to six of My Happy Marriage with Josh and Mehgan of Volume One. In episode four, the braided cord Miyo gifts to Kudo stirs up several colorful sprinkles on top. Between Miyo’s handmade gift and her talk with her childhood nanny Hana, Miyo is able to grow positively in multiple ways in this episode. Josh and Giana both get a little extra vulnerable. In episode five, Kouji valiantly stands up to his father for Miyo, earning him back a spot in Floats Your Boat. Find out the unexpected place the Tatsuishi’s gain their power (which is definitely canon). In episode six, the heaviness of the episode hits everyone hard.

12/10/2023
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes twenty-four and twenty-five of Fruits Basket (2019). It’s finale time! In episode 24, Kyo’s true form is shocking to Chika and Giana for reasons you wouldn’t expect. Kyo’s mother’s delicate treatment of Kyo, and especially his rosary, tugged at the girls’ heartstrings. Tohru’s ability to allow the way she cares for Kyo trump the fear she has of his true form makes Giana “a wreck”. In episode 25, Chika credits Yuki for how much work he put into resisting his revulsion to the cat spirit. Giana takes the opportunity to fangirl over Eric Vale one last time. The lack of information about the aftermath of the reveal of Kyo’s true form leaves lots of lingering questions. Kagura and Kazuma leaving without saying goodbye after everything that occurred the previous night leaves a bitter taste in this week’s sundae. Also, why would Shigure invite everyone to his house for dinner if he wasn’t going to be present?? Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

11/26/2023
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Cristal Marie review episodes twenty-two and twenty-three of Fruits Basket (2019). In episode 22, we learn all about Hanajima’s powers and dark past. This episode was a really heavy hitter and brings out some Rocky Road moments in Sprinkles on Top. Hanajima’s family is loving, supportive, and sweet to their daughter. In particular, Megumi’s prayer for someone who understands his sister to come into her life really tugs at everyone’s heartstrings. There is also confusion and speculation around what Hanajima’s power truly is and where it could possibly come from. Hana’s bullying comes with a healthy serving of Hot Fudge. In episode 23, Kyo’s sweet blushy moments and cooking for Tohru to show appreciation when she was sick earn spots in everyone’s Floats Your Boat. Shigure saying “Be a good girl” to Tohru makes its home in Banana Split for a reason you probably wouldn’t expect. Chika and Cristal get vulnerable in Hot Fudge about their mental health struggles versus the expectations of those around them. Kagura receives yet another healthy serving of I Scream, You Scream.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing ft. Anibaes Anime (Fruits Basket Eps 19-21)

11/12/2023
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Crimson, Farris, and Stoney of Anibaes Anime review episodes nineteen through twenty-one of Fruits Basket (2019). In episode 19, the interpretation of the Sohma’s acceptance, or lack thereof, of Ritsu’s identity differs amongst the ladies. Ritsu’s gift of books about fruit as opposed to actual fruit for Tohru also banana splits the ladies’ (mainly Giana’s) opinions. The non-humor of Mitsuru’s drastic measures due to Shigure’s antics gets a heavy helping of hot fudge. In episode 20, Hiro Sohma gets on EVERYBODY’S last nerve. Giana mistakes a Twilight quote for some old, fancy poem. While this episode is centered more on Hiro Sohma, Chika points out that it brings more to light about Kisa’s trauma and unsettling relationship with her mother. In episode 21, Crimson points out that Matoko’s character design could be purposely pinning her as an “anti-Tohru”. The expectations versus reality of Hanajima’s home gives everyone a good laugh. Matoko’s and the Yuki Fan Club’s behavior gets a heavy scoop of I Scream, You Scream. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

Kyoko's Words of Wisdom (Fruits Basket Eps 16-18)

10/29/2023
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika are back to review episodes sixteen through eighteen of Fruits Basket (2019). We begin by wishing Giana a very happy belated birthday before we get into the shenanigans. In episode 16, Uo and Hanajima get the Sohmas to pay for Tohru’s new swimsuit as a reward for all the support she gives them. We also learn Uo’s backstory on how she befriended Tohru. Chika and Giana discuss their perspectives on Uo’s insistence on Tohru getting a new swimsuit and how this situation could have happened differently. Giana is banana split on why pink wasn’t incorporated more into Tohru’s character design. In episode 17, we continue to learn Uo’s backstory with scenes from how she left her gang to be a better best friend to Tohru, Kyoko saving Uo, and Uo giving Kyoko-like advice to middle school delinquents who had been following her. Chika loves how, with Kyoko’s help, Uo can see life as what it could be rather than what life hasn’t given to her. Giana sees herself in Tohru because they both speak formally to others. And both Giana and Chika are upset with Uo’s gang being violent towards her for leaving. Lastly, in episode 18, we meet Kisa Sohma, the tiger zodiac who went mute after being bullied at school. She mustered the courage to talk once more and go back to school with help from Hatsuharu, Yuki, and Tohru. Chika and Giana have a big hot fudge session about Kisa’s mom and family.

Giana describes her attempt at making Valentine’s Day chocolates. Chika makes an excellent point about Shigure’s job stability. Avary sheds some light on Kyo’s treatment by the Sohma’s. In episode 11, the story of the “idiot traveler” sparks a deep discussion between the women about kindness and its place in both Fruits Basket and the real world. A certain scene foreshadows a much later event that has all three ladies’ hearts going doki-doki. Giana somewhat loses her composure over Eric Vale’s performance in a particular scene. In episode 12, Hatsuharu’s “proof” gives everyone a laugh. Yuki’s emotional past and inner dialogue resonates with Giana. Chika lays down a solid theory about Shigure’s manipulation tactics.

The Secret Sexy Episode ft. Shojo & Tell (Fruits Basket Eps 7-9)

9/17/2023
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Ashley from the Shojo & Tell Podcast review episodes seven through nine of Fruits Basket (2019). In episode 7, the ladies dissect Hatori’s relationship with Kana. Is two months quick for an engagement? Wouldn’t you question somebody walking away from you when you tried to kiss them? Why is a seahorse considered a dragon? Ashley begs possibly the most important question: why are there so many mirrors in Akito’s room? In Hot Fudge, Ashley opens up about her medical history and how she views Hatori’s story differently because of it. In episode 8, Hanajima’s powers to manipulate both waves and emotions steal the show. Tohru’s insistence on spending the new year alone leaves everybody feeling banana split. Giana gets heated about Tohru’s family’s New Year’s vacation. In episode 9, Giana has the unfortunate task of teaching Chika and Ashley what cow tipping is. Chika’s banana split about Haru is hilariously unexpected. Ashley “screams” about the hype over Yuki’s legs. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

Ugh, Kagura... (Fruits Basket Eps 4-6)

9/3/2023
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika continue Fruits Basket (2019) with episodes four through six. In episode 4, Giana reads the most difficult Wikipedia summary yet. The way Tohru finds joy in the little things and has such an optimistic outlook impresses Giana and Chika. In Hot Fudge, Chika describes Kagura perfectly to a T. In episode 5, Giana realizes a tear-inducing Sprinkle On Top on the fly. Grandpa Honda steals the show with that righteous slap. Tohru’s emotional journey of leaving Shigure’s house mixed with the Sohma boys choosing her really strikes a chord with the ladies. The avenue Tohru’s cousin takes to become a police officer stirs up a lot of piping hot fudge. In episode 6, we formally meet Momiji and everybody’s favorite hot doctor, Hatori! Kyo’s reaction to a cat-shaped riceball validates Chika’s dislike of eating themed food. Chika speculates which US publisher would take on Shigure’s writing. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!
