Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Vampy of Shoujosei World review episodes thirteen through fifteen of Fruits Basket (2019). In episode 13, Ayame arrives and makes quite an impression! Chika is banana split about Tohru’s fashion choices while gardening. Editing Giana makes an appearance in Rocky Road and gets vulnerable about the difficulties of adulthood. Vampy and Chika discuss being both the oldest and youngest children respectively to siblings with larger age gaps. In episode 14, we learn about Momiji’s unfortunate parental situation and it contains a lot of hot fudge. Chika brings up Tohru’s and Momiji’s uncomfortable positivity in banana split. Yuki’s passing thoughts about barely being aware of Tohru before becoming close to her spurs a Google search among the ladies. In episode 15, Hatori steals the show in Floats Your Boat simply by existing in a hot way. Chika gets excited over the idea of Zodiac pets. Ayame’s behavior at the end of the episode is definitely I Scream, You Scream worthy.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Avary (Kyoruyeye) review episodes ten through twelve of Fruits Basket (2019). In episode 10, Chika and Giana discuss Kyo’s hate towards Yuki. 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. Avary breaks down the possible reason behind Akito’s harsh opinion of Tohru.

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.

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.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana dive into the Fruits Basket reboot! The girls lovingly poke fun at people who dislike Fruits Basket, claiming it to be quintessential shoujo content. In episode 1, the girls admire Tohru’s adamant optimism and inner strength. Chika shocks Giana with an unexpected Banana Split. Chika also points out the oddness of Shigure being alone in Tohru’s guest room with her. Katsuya Honda, Tohru’s father, is not safe from the heat of Chika’s hot fudge. In episode two, Tohru’s sweet moment with Yuki in the classroom melts the sundae girls’ hearts. Shigure being a homeowner at twenty-seven is not only aspirational but astonishing. In true anime fashion, THE WHOLE BUILDING returns! In episode three, Chika poses the important question: why don’t the zodiacs mate with their respective animals? Is it beastiality? Jokes aside, the girls get pretty vulnerable in Rocky Road.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika discuss the film Belle. Giana opens up about being an introverted performer, like Suzu. The girls discuss the intrigue surrounding the mysterious Dragon of U. Love between two supporting characters absolutely ignites Chika’s and Giana’s hearts. In Banana Split, Chika speculates about Suzu’s distant relationship with her father, and Giana makes a shocking comparison in Belle’s character design that has nothing to do with Beauty and the Beast. All the daddies in this film get a heaping serving of hot fudge. Belle left the sundae girlies with a lot of lingering questions: what exactly happens on the U app? How long did it take for Belle to rise to stardom? And more.
