IT'S THE ANIME FOR BLONDES HOLIDAY SPECIAL!! & we’re diving STRAIGHT into Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, the brand-new movie that officially kicks off JJK Season 3! We watched it in theaters (with popcorn, festive sweaters, and emotional support candy), and now we’re giving you our full, honest, girly-pop review. Was it worth the hype? Is this the best or the WORST way to start Season 3? And will Becca actually watch next season???

In this episode we talk about the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (spoiler warning!), what this means for Season 3, how MAPPA handled the animation after everything last year, and why this movie might be one of the most chaotic seasonal premieres we’ve ever seen. We also get into the character arcs, emotional damage, slay moments, and OF COURSE... a JJK x Taylor Swift playlist.

Thank you for a great year!! Have a great holiday season and we will be back January 19, 2026 with our very first FRIEREN RECAP!

It’s spooky season, and we’re celebrating Halloween with one of the most infamous anime of the 2000s: Vampire Knight! This so-bad-it’s-good classic has EVERYTHING: brooding vampire boys, a lose-lose love triangle, and more drama than a CW show.

In this episode, we’re diving fang-first into Vampire Knight Season 1, sharing our first impressions, favorite moments, and a breakdown of why this series still has such a cult following. We talk about why this anime feels like the Twilight of anime, unpack the messy romance between Zero, Yuki, and Kaname, and discuss whether nostalgia is the only thing keeping it alive. AND, Ali even spoils the ending for Becca live... so make sure you watch until the end for THAT reaction!

💖Don’t forget... Anime for Blondes drops new episodes every Monday, with bonus episodes the last Wednesday of each month for our Apothecary Diaries Book Club! This Wednesday we will be recapping Apothecary Diaries Light Novel Vol. 4!

💬 Let us know in the comments if you were Team Zero or Team Kaname, and tell us what cozy anime we should recap next!
