The Anime Cliffhanger Problem (Maid Sama Eps 22-24)

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana discuss episodes 22-24 of Maid Sama!. In episode 22, Misaki’s class goes on a field trip to a Buddhist temple, and the final day leads to much more infuriating chaos than calming enlightenment. Some piping hot fudge sparks a conversation about watching the Maid Sama! English dub versus in Japanese with subtitles. In episode 23, Misaki enters a sweets eating contest on Erika’s behalf, and all the talk about dessert gets Giana and Chika a little too excited about chocolate chip cookies. In episode 24, Usui and Hinata’s rivalry continues to build up. Also, Chika explores what makes Hinata a character foil for Usui, and discusses the frustrations around anime series ending on cliffhangers.
Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in like we’re at a sweets eating contest!
