Shoujo Sundae Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review the 1986 shoujo sci-fi film They Were Eleven. Tada is one of the very few individuals who have made it to the final test before being granted entry into the Cosmos Academy. Only ten people were supposed to be present for the final test, which takes place over fifty-three days on a spaceship, but there were eleven! Listen as Giana and Chika talk through their speculations on who was the mysterious extra crew member, the unexpected conversation about gender on different planets, the magnificent Knu, the forced romance between Tada and Frol, and so much more.

A breakdown of the Shoujo Sundae segments:

-A Soft Serve Summary (episode recap)

-Sprinkles on Top (symbolism portrayed in the episode)

-Floats Your Boat (positive aspects from the episode)

-Banana Split (moments that are neither good or bad)-Rocky Road (emotional/sad moments)

-Nuts! (shocking moments)

-Hot Fudge (hot takes or rants)

-I Scream, You Scream (bad moments)

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes seven through ten of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode seven, Sutezo’s profound love for his daughter tugs heartstrings. Arikoto’s and Sutezo’s first time meeting is uncomfortable to say the least. It is heartbreaking to see Arikoto’s rage and depression after everything he’s been through. In episode eight - Gyokuei, more like Gyoku-gay, am I right? There’s something very funny about Iemistu and Gyokeui getting it on for Arikoto’s sake. In episode nine, neither Chika nor Giana attempt to sugar coat the way they are ROOTING for Kasuga’s impending death. Sutezo’s passing was a devastating situation all around. In episode ten, the loose ties and unanswered questions leave much to be desired with the finale of Ooku: The Inner Chambers.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Rachel the Shoujo Scholar review episodes four through six of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode four, you can tell by the tone of our Floats Your Boat that this episode was going to hurt us deeply. Waka Murasaki meets a terrible fate, forcing Giana to hate Gyokuei with no hope for redemption. Rachel points out the interesting role reversal between Arikoto and Iemitsu. In episode five, Arikoto provides the ultimate fan service for bi individuals everywhere. Chika makes an interesting connection between Arikoto’s switch in devotion from Buddha to Iemitsu with cults. The question is raised: Why hasn’t Iemitsu simply killed Kasuga? Iemitsu’s painful past stirs up empathy for her. In episode six, Kasuga’s state of health brightens everyone’s spirits. Sutezo’s arrival shakes things up for Arikoto and Iemitsu.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Colleen of Colleen’s Manga Recs review episodes one through three of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode one, Mizuno’s story is a mesmerizing one to follow. Yoshimune’s approach as Shogun is praised. The darkness woven throughout the Ooku is both intriguing and disturbing. In episode two, we meet the sweet and responsible Arikoto, whose life is forever changed upon “visiting” the Ooku. We also meet Lady Kasuga, who makes a permanent home in Hot Fudge after forcing Arikoto to stay at the Ooku by literally any means possible. In episode three, we learn more about Iemistu and Arikoto’s life at the Ooku. Iemitsu’s gift of a white cat to Arikoto at the end of the episode stirs up some both serious and extremely unserious Sprinkles on Top. Gyokuei’s character is lightly analyzed and Kasuga is roasted yet again.
