Episode 27: The Cat Returns
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana discuss the 2002 Studio Ghibli film The Cat Returns. Get ready for an episode filled with laughter! A little bit of hot fudge got spilled onto the sprinkles on top of this week’s sundae as the ladies are unable to hold back some of their strongest feelings about the film versus their expectations they laid out in our episode about Whisper of the Heart. Despite having grander expectations for what ended up being a charming movie aimed at a younger audience, Giana and Chika giggle through all of the segments this week, processing things like: a high school girl falling in love with an adult cat, Prince Lune’s ill-timed proposal, Beyonce’s baby bangs, and much, MUCH more.
Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!
