This week on Anime for Blondes, we’re recapping DanDaDan Episode 17 (S2E5), titled “We Can All Stay There Together!” ... and AS USUAL, the energy is equal parts chaotic, creepy, and weirdly romantic.

Momo and Okarun are finally back home after last episode’s arc wrap up, but peace is short-lived. Jiji is still possessed by the Evil Eye, and Aira shows up for a chaotic sleepover to help keep things under control. Of course, we couldn’t ignore the ROMANCE between Momo and Okarun... so we ask the real question: What would be their Taylor Swift song?

💬 Comment below your Swiftie picks for every DanDaDan couple!

We’re back with a Dan Da Dan season 2 review! We can’t stop laughing at how UNIQUE this anime is. In this episode, Ali is doing Volcano Research and Becca is making intellectual commentary on Western Marketing, while Ms. Ayase sprays down a volcano, and we eagerly wait for our heroine to rescue her MMC. 

Comment and let us know what other anime we should be watching! (hint: please give Becca a romance anime)

Welcome back to Anime for Blondes... and welcome to KPOP SUMMER!

We're kicking off this episode of our Anime Adjacent series with a full recap and review of KPOP Demon Hunters, the new animated Netflix movie that might not technically be anime, but totally fits our anime girlie vibe.

From demon-slaying dance numbers to magical girl group dynamics, this movie has everything: romance, big emotions, and GREAT music. We talk about why KPOP Demon Hunters might be the best kids movie we've seen in a long time, whether this story is secretly a Rapunzel/Tangled retelling, and of course, we reveal our bias (it’s Jinu, obviously.)

If you're looking for a fun summer watch or an anime-adjacent title to add to your queue, this one's worth the stream.

💬 Comment below if you are getting Tangled vibes from this movie!

Season 3 of Anime for Blondes is officially here, and we’re kicking things off with something special! We got to see the theatrical premiere of DanDaDan: Evil Eye (the first THREE episodes of Season 2) before they hit Netflix, and as usual, we have a LOT to say.

From the unhinged energy of that Season 1 cliffhanger to the jaw-dropping animation and soundtrack, DanDaDan is already shaping up to be the most chaotic and fun anime of the summer. Turbo Granny is still hilarious, Jiji might be our new anime boyfriend (Aleks Le's voice never hurts), and the girlies are locked in for the supernatural WEIRDNESS ahead.

Join us as we dive into DanDaDan: Evil Eye, the start of Season 2, and the wildest arc yet. We’re breaking down the supernatural chaos, new villains, and all the iconic moments from Episodes 1–3, before they're even released on streaming.

This week on Anime for Blondes, we’re recapping the heaviest episode yet... Apothecary Diaries Episode 45.

MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING: The episode we're recapping includes intense scenes and themes of abusive parenting and child death.ShiSui is taking "love and war" very literally while Maomao is putting the "bye" in bisexual. The girlies are emotionally whiplashed by the sudden tonal shift and dark themes in this episode. Becca and Ali discuss the emotional weight of the episode, while keeping it light enough to theorize about ShiSui’s true motives, and OF COURSE highlight the undeniable chemistry between her and Maomao.

We’re shook, we’re speculating, and we’re counting down the days to Jinshi in military armor next week *fingers crossed* 👀✨

💬 Comment below: Are you Team ShiMao, Team JinMao, or just emotionally confused like we are?
