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.

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!

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. The group shares collective pride in Miyo for standing up for herself. The fall of the Saimoris tastes of sweet, sweet justice.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review episodes one to three of My Happy Marriage. In episode one, the sundae girlies try to grasp onto whatever positivity they can find in this very bleak reality for Miyo. Chika speculates about Kaya’s legitimacy as Shinichi’s daughter. Giana points out the potential cycle of abuse in the My Happy Marriage universe. In episode two, Giana muses Kudo’s cold behavior up front towards Miyo and his previous fiancée . Chika points out the reasons why Miyo could be struggling to eat alongside Kudo. Miyo’s trauma dreams strike a personal chord with Giana. Chika covers Kouji’s father with a healthy heaping of hot fudge. In episode three, Kudo’s and Miyo’s first date gives Chika and Giana so many shoujo feels. In episode three, Kudo’s understanding that a few gifts or dates won’t heal Miyo earns him brownie points from Giana. Chika brings up confusion around Miyo’s treatment by the Saimori’s if she’s from such a prestigious and powerful bloodline.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review the 1991 Studio Ghibli film, Only Yesterday. Listen as the sundae girlies talk through the myriad of emotions they felt seeing these lyrical switches between Taiko’s life in her late twenties and her childhood. From Hirota’s adorable crush on her, to puberty, to family conflict in her past, and picking safflower, bonding with Toshio, and peer expectations in the present, Only Yesterday weaves a striking story about how one’s past shapes their future, and what it means to choose oneself.

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??

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.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and the Anibaes 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, 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.

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.
