Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and cosplayer Jahara Jayde review episodes one through three of My Love Story with Yamada Kun at Lv999! In episode one, Akane is dumped by her cheating boyfriend, and fluctuates through stages of grief. At an in-person event for a game her ex-boyfriend, Takuma, introduced her to, Akane bribes an attractive guy to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of Takuma and his new lady. This attractive guy turns out to be a locally famous professional gamer, Yamada. In episode two, Akane wakes up at Yamada’s apartment after getting too drunk the night before, and worries that something happened between them. At home, Akane realizes she lost her necklace at Yamada’s place. In episode three, Akane learns she’s been frustrating her guild members by placing low level gear inside their shared storage, and doesn’t log into Forest of Savior for several days. After reconnecting with the guild at Yamada’s behest, Akane attends an IRL meetup at a cafe with her guild members, eager to find out the true identity of the cute, sweet guild leader, Rurihime.

Hey, shounen fans! Today, we're diving into Frieren: Beyond Journey's End for the very first time! We meet the elven mage Frieren and her adventuring party: Himmel the Hero, Heiter the priest, and Eisen the dwarf. After defeating the Demon King (or Lord?), they part ways after a decade-long journey together. Fifty years later, ensuing the death of Himmel, Frieren wishes she had taken the time to get to know him better. Years later, while visiting Heiter, she sort of stumbles into having an apprentice - a war orphan named Fern who Heiter had been looking after. After Heiter dies, Frieren and Fern begin their own journey to learn spells. These first two episodes packed an emotional punch and introduced us to a fantastical new world.

In episode twelve, Kurumi schemes to set up Sawako and Ryuu, but the two end up strengthening their bond in friendship, not romance. Ryuu confides in Sawako about some secret feelings he has.

-Hot Fudge (hot takes or angry rants)

-I Scream, You Scream (disliked moments)

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes four through six of Kimi Ni Todoke! In episode four, rumors rapidly spread about Chizu and Ayane, pinning Sawako for starting them. Ayane and Chizu overhear Sawako claim that they aren’t her friends and leave before they can hear the full context of the conversation, which hurts and confuses them deeply. In episode five, further rumors about Sawako’s presence being a detriment to Kazehaya, Chizu, and Ayane cause her to distance herself from them. Kazehaya speaks with Sawako about this, and he urges her to discuss her feelings with Chizu and Ayane about their friendship. Later, Sawako confronts girls she hears spreading rumors in the bathroom to try and settle them once and for all. In episode six, the school gathers around the girl’s bathroom after hearing about a fight going on inside. Sawako tries to clear the rumors with the girls in the restroom, and Ayane and Chizu come to her aid, sealing their friendship.

Note from Giana: Apologies for any background noise! My apartment by a busy intersection (in addition to some noise from neighbors) has been less than ideal for recording, but I’m planning to move to a quieter place in February 2025. Thanks for your understanding!
