My Dress-Up Darling Ep. 23 "I Didn't Think Anything Good Would Ever Happen to Me" is basically the calm before the storm. With the calm being a chance for Juju to finally get over her hangups about cosplay. All while the storm being the upcoming Coffin group cosplay, which is coming along

My Dress-Up Darling Ep. 22 "So We're Gonna Do It All Right Now?!" is an episode of contrasts. On one hand, it's absolute hilarity as Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojo engage in the misunderstandings of misunderstandings, the biggest of the anime so far. On the other hand, the show takes a dip into
