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. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

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.  Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!

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. Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!
