Ariel and Sasha Experience ... My Dress-Up Darling!

Ariel: OMG! This is the most adorable anime!
Sasha: Hey, spoilers! Don't we have to tell people to put their spoiler blankets over their heads first?
Ariel: What? No, it's not a spoiler that it's adorable. I mean, it's maybe a little bitty bit spoiler-ish, but how are we supposed to convince people to watch it without saying good things about it?
Sasha: Sure, it's not a spoiler to say it's an adorable anime ... but don't you think it's sort of a spoiler to say it's the most adorable anime?
Ariel: Um ... well, but, they might not even agree that it's the most adorable, so does that really count?
Sasha: Maybe not. So why exactly do you think it's the most adorable?
Ariel: Probably the characters. But I can't say exactly why without it being a spoiler.
Sasha: Okay, then I'll officially say people should put their spoiler blankets over their heads if they don't want My Dress-Up Darling spoiled for them.
Ariel: No peeking!
Sasha: So you think the characters are what makes it adorable? Who do you think is the most adorable.
Ariel: Ooh, that's a tough one. Definitely the girl has a lot of adorable characteristics. But the guy is also awfully adorable, cause he's like so obsessed with Japanese dolls that he doesn't even know how to act around people, but he's also all artistic and also unselfish and shy all at the same time. Plus apparently his dead parents who died before the show started were big-time fans of the Marvel movies we like.
Sasha: Huh?
Ariel: Because they named him after that African kingdom in the Mad Accent Panther movies, Wakana.
Sasha: No, that's Wakanda. This guy is Wakana, with no "D" in it.
Ariel: Omg, that's horrible.
Sasha: What? Why would it be horrible?
Ariel: I mean, do you think they died from being that embarrassed about spelling their son's name wrong?
Sasha: Gkk. No, I mean I really don't think they were trying to name him after a movie that came out 8 years ago, when in the show he's supposed to be in his first year of high school.
Ariel: Doesn't that just show what big fans they'd have to be?
Sasha: I guess I don't know how to argue with that. What about the cosplay girl?
Ariel: Which one? The main one, or that one they just introduced in the last couple episodes we watched?
Sasha: Whichever one you want to talk about.
Ariel: Because, I mean, I don't why you'd be asking about the new one, I just wanted to make sure.
Sasha: Fine, let's just pretend I was talking about the newer cosplay girl.
Ariel: What? For real, that's which one you meant?
Sasha: Did you hear me say, "let's just pretend"?
Ariel: I did, but I didn't know if maybe you were joking about it being pretend.
Sasha: No, I was hoping to get this post moving, so I seriously meant we should pretend.
Ariel: Ooh! Like the cosplay girls seriously want to pretend they're the characters they're cosplaying as! We're practically doing the same thing they do!
Sasha: I don't know that it's really like that, but okay.
Ariel: Only we don't use any costumes, so it's not cosplaying. I guess it's blogsplaying?
Sasha: But we actually are blogging.
Ariel: No, you said we were just pretending.
Sasha: I ... whatever. Personally, I think the main cosplay girl is the best thing about the show. She's super energetic and likable and sincere and also just plain gorgeously cute.
Ariel: Hey! I didn't even get to say what I thought about the newer cosplay girl after you told me to pretend you asked me to, and now you're already talking about the main cosplay girl! How is that fair?
Sasha: I feel like I gave you a lot of chances to say something about either one of them, really.
Ariel: I didn't know I had a limited number of chances, though.
Sasha: You don't have a limited number of chances. You're still having chances, but you're still not using them to talk about the show.
Ariel: ...
Sasha: Tell me your favorite thing about what's going on in the story right now.
Ariel: Oh geez, that's a hard one. Um ...
Sasha: Should I go first?
Ariel: Holy smokes, why are you so impatient today?!?
Sasha: Never mind, take your time.
Ariel: I mean, the pressure!
Sasha: Sorry. Whenever you're ready.
Ariel: Well ... well, I liked when they went to the beach and the bird chased them and stole their food.
Sasha: That's you're favorite thing? 
Ariel: No, it's just the first thing I thought of, on account of all the pressure. Give me another chance.
Sasha: Sure.
Ariel: I also thought it was funny the new cosplay girl is older than the guy from Wakanda and the original cosplay girl, even though she looks way younger. And then her younger sister is younger than her but looks like the oldest out of any of them! I mean, I kind of saw it coming when the new cosplay girl was talking about having a younger sister and the other characters were thinking the younger sister would be a smaller, cuter version of New Cosplay Girl. But it was still pretty cute.
Sasha: You're not really convincing me that's your favorite part of the storyline right now. Is it just the second thing you thought of?
Ariel: Yes.
Sasha: So ... how about you take a minute and go through the third and fourth and maybe fifth things you think of, just in your head, and figure out if any of those is actually your favorite part.
Ariel: OH! I know, I know!
Sasha: That can't have been long enough for you to think through to the fifth thing you could think of.
Ariel: No, this is just the third thing, but it's for real my favorite. It's the way Main Cosplay Girl is getting totally head-over-heels for the Wakanda guy but is too freaked out to say anything about it and meanwhile, he doesn't have a clue even though she's already turning into the most important person he's ever met except his family.
Sasha: I'm actually good with that answer. Nice one! I feel like "Main Cosplay Girl" doesn't really do her justice as what we should call her, though.
Ariel: Hah!
Sasha: "Hah" what?
Ariel: You're always calling me lazy and now I actually was being lazy and you didn't even notice!
Sasha: Honestly, that's kind of what I was getting at saying "Main Cosplay Girl" doesn't do her justice. I mean, she's a super non-generic character and that's such a generic name.
Ariel: But I wasn't calling her that because I was too lazy to come up with a non-generic name! That's what you didn't notice!
Sasha: You're going to have to explain it to me, then.
Ariel: I was calling her that because I was too lazy to put the "r" in the middle of her name. Obviously, she's "Marin Cosplay Girl," not really "Main Cosplay Girl."
Sasha: Uh ... is it supposed to be a flex that you're pointing out one of the weirdest ways you've ever been lazy on this blog?
Ariel: Hey, anytime you don't call me lazy when I actually am being lazy helps make up for all the times you call me lazy when I'm not being lazy.
Sasha: And exactly which times are those.
Ariel: A lot of the times! Like ... times when I just have really heavy eyelids.
Sasha: Uh-huh.
Ariel: Anyway, I think I want to end on a high note, and you not noticing me being lazy seems like a good one to me.
Sasha: Sure, let's call it a high note and not say you just want to wrap things up because you're being extra lazy on top of too lazy to put an "r" in the main character's name.
Ariel: Hah! See, you're being lazy too!
Sasha: How exactly --
Ariel: She's the Marin character, remember? Not the main character.
Sasha: No, I really meant -- never mind. I guess I'm ready to wrap it up too.
Ariel: Yes! Teamwork!
Sasha and Ariel: Goodnight, everybody ... and watch My Dress-Up Darling! It's super fun!
