Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We return the to book this week. In our real life, Sarah is trapped house sitting while Joe is out for revenge. In Fushigi Yûgi, we get into some love triangles? Squares? Shapes? You get it. We also get our newest member Nuriko, and we definitely aren’t worried about how her stuff will go. Yui is still in that library. It’s kind of a mess this week, but we look forward to seeing how it comes together.

Hana-Kimi Ep 11-12: Festive Sabotage
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We finally finish up our 9th show! Wow, that many already? It sure goes by faster with these 12 episode seasons. This week, Joe went to the movies to watch the Utena movie (again). Meanwhile Sarah is running out of new life material. Weekly habits don’t make for good podcast material! In Hana-Kimi, we wrap up season 1 with the shocking finale to the dorm v dorm v dorm contest, which we are all heavily invested in I’m sure. Mizuki is being targeted and gets snatched away and the only thing that can save her is Nakatsu kicking a guy. Also Izumi is there because he’s the love interest. Meanwhile, Nanba has some love problems but quickly gets over them. Then season 1 just kind of ends. Our next show is Fushigi Yugi! Next week will be watching episodes 1 and 2.

Hana-Kimi Ep 9-10: Manly Cheerleading
Content Warning: Discussion of Sexual Assault This week, Sarah and Joe did not go on trips and don’t have nearly as much to say. Joe’s but news is that he watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Sarah is maybe done with social events for a while. Real exciting stuff. In Hana-Kimi, we wrap up our beach arc with some not so great developments with Makita. We are not loving that. But then we jump into our final arc of the sports festival. That’s right, its dorm v dorm in an athletic/other event style team games. And we finally, finally get some time with Nanba and find out what his deal is!

We’re back from our trips! Joe recaps Boston while Sarah recaps New York! The Northeast United States. Big cities! People. Great! Then we talk about movies and tv as per usual. In HanaKimi it’s time for a summer job. Mizuki, Izumi, and Nakatsu get roped into working for Dr. Umeda’s sister. And? What’s this? A love rival appears for some reason? And he’s, a college guy, and he’s kind of irritating but also kind of normal. Weird! Sure hope this plays out in a fun way!

Then we fly through a brief bully arc until, big bro comes to town, dun dun duhhhhnnnn. Mizuki has to pretend to be a girl again and convince him that she should be allowed to stay. Oh yeah, and Izumi can high jump now or whatever, so, uh good for him.

Hana-Kimi Ep 3-4: When life gives you lemons....
This week characters consider if they’re gay or whatever. Not us though, Sarah recounts her disappointment with singles events while Joe got into the sweet embrace of roller coasters. How exciting. In HanaKimi, things pick up…and are put back down as we fly through some shoujo staple tropes with little to show for them. Having your period while undercover? No big deal. Getting a dress as a gift from back home. Don’t worry about it. Accidentally getting drunk? Who know? Maybe it’ll count!

Hana-Kimi Ep 1-2: Normal Things to Say
This week we start a brand new show. We attempt to reintroduce ourselves but find that our lives are kind of boring right now. Hm, maybe it’s just the changing of the seasons… And speaking of change, in HanaKimi our protagonist Mizuki decides to move to Japan and go undercover to attend an all-boys school and for her totally-not-romantic admiration of high jump star Izumi Sano. Or maybe I should say, FORMER high jump star dramatic music plays because he’s quit. Mizuki now has to navigate pretending to be a boy in the school for pretty boys while convincing Izumi to get back to what really matters, jumping real high.

Content Warning: Sexual Assault & Abuse We finish off out Utena watching with the 1999 movie! And speaking of movies, Joe has finally watched Project Hail Mary and had a good time with that! Meanwhile Sarah has started running again. Then we grapple with the Adolescence of Utena. The hair, the hair! So different! Also, more ghosts?? And, wait, what’s that noise in the distance? It sounds like…the engine of a car? No way, Utena isn’t a series about cars right?? There’s no way that could be!

Revolutionary Girl Utena Ep 37-39: The Power of Projection
This week we revolutionaize the world. But first, Joe makes Sarah learn facts about Star Fox and complains about realistic looking animals. Sarah thrills with her allergy test results and excitement for Love Island's return. In Utena, we have the final duel called Revolution! Utena and Anthy finally talk to one another and we learn all about how much Akio sucks. Also there’s a duel but that’s pretty much not the point of this episode. What’s actually important is cool flying sword animations. Yeah, those are awesome!

Revolutionary Girl Utena Ep 31-33: Family Feud
This week Nanami tries to climb the ladder. In our real lives, Sarah has gotten a new puppy to add to the litter, while Joe has watched some less well known cartoon movies. Big stuff! In Utena, Nanami learns that family is not all that it’s cracked up to be. She stays with Utena, Anthy, and Akio, which is a terrible idea. And tries to run away but barely misses the mark.
