| So penguin is a thing that connect them both Lol Matsuoka's character Well Yumiko you're the one complaining when no one is getting married in 3 years, now it's your chance! xD Ah yes instead of being happy, belittle those who belittling you 10/10 accurate, that what I will do if I'm in Shirase's place too xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| some amusing nationalistic sentiment in this episode |
| Bit of a more serious episode with some background of the captain. That dude looked way too young for her though, but anime and age is always a bit fuzzy. |
| The "In your face" was a great payoff. |
 |
| Hmm? Yeah what exactly did Gin meant when she talked about clouds... |
 |
| Simply beautiful. I thought when that guy confessed he was confessing to Shirase lol A long-awaited episode that goes deeper into the background between Gin and Shirase. Despite their awkward relationship, it seems that they have a lot in common. Or maybe it's because of how much they have in common (like generally being awkward lol) that they have an awkward relationship. Both of them are different from how energetic and lively Takako can be. Takako really wanted some of Gin's spirit to rub off on Shirase. In a way and definitely partly because of that, it did. Though partly it was also the fact that she never came back that made Shirase who she is today. It was a good thing that Takako often left them alone together. Even if they didn't interact normally that much, it gave them something of a connection point. It seems Gin is very much still haunted by what happened, especially as leader of the expedition she had to make the hard calls. I thought Takako's last words were going to be something for Shirase, but it seems it wasn't. Although I don't hate her or anything, I can't help but be somewhat critical of her as a mother. I don't hold the going to Antartica against her, but it feels like she didn't leave anything for Shirase, not even a final message. But I hope I'll be proven wrong by that post-credits scene. An email from Takako? Why has it only come now? Signals or stuff maybe? I teared up when Gin started crying on the deck after remembering Takako's last words. When they cut through the ice, it was a very great scene. It was so inspiring. As for the Second World War reference, Japan did lose the war. I guess it's normal for countries to put some filter on what happened in their history. Japan was one of the aggressors, so it does make sense that they'd be deprived of a lot of things by the countries that won. Although that was more than 70 years ago so I wonder if such an agreement about a place of scientific interest like Antarctica is still fair. But overall, the message was awesome. And regardless of the war, gotta give it to their national spirit of wanting to get through adversity and going all the way to their slice of Antarctica no matter how difficult it was. The actual icebreaking and the dialogue made it so impactful. To reach your goals, no matter the odds, through sheer strength and determination. Inspiring. It was so sweet of the girls to offer Shirase the chance to step foot on Antarctica first, but it was even sweeter when they decided to step foot there together. "In your face!" Quote of my day. It felt so so so satisfying to hear her say that. Everyone ridiculed, mocked, insulted her for it, but she kept on believing and moving forward, and finally she's here. When the entire ship's crew also shouted... no words. "In your face! In your face! In your face!" Awesome. Made me feel pumped and I was shouting along with them. |
 |
| What an amazing show, amazing episode and amazing scene to cap off the episode. That final scene was so good, especially when the crew joined in, say it with me now. IN YOUR FACE! |
 |
| Fantastic episode again, such an interesting relationship between Shrase and the captain, and i can really understand why things might be awkward between seeing the great love they both had for Shirase's mom. Also really liked how they used the confession guy as a conduit to jump into the episode rather than just presenting the backstory, made things flow much more seamlessly. |

| First half of this episode was garbage But i liked the second half of this And loved the moment they step on ice The line"in your face" |
 |
| Japan commits terrible war crimes in the Second War, is allowed to research a piece of land in Antarctica deemed unreachable "Isn't it bullying?" Eastern Asian countries and the Pacific isles: "are we a joke to you?" |
| Love the ending and how the whole crew shouted it too. |
| In your face though she should have said something else. another wonderful episode, though the feels hit hard. |
| Eh, why everyone is so skeptic about his love towards that woman?.. I mean, at least someone could just say something like "Well, probably she's into some very high standard men, but who knows, really.. Women can be into all kinds of men, you can at least try hanging out with her, and see, where this goes, really.." Or something like that.. Because yeah - people fall in love, or date, or marry all kinds of people, really.. This man really gets some harsh treatment.. That's not funny, really, as well.. That just looks very rigid from everyone's side, and that's all.. I mean, it's not their life, and it's not them, who will try to date some girl, will have fails or wins with girls, lol.. Well, that final message (if it was final message) of Shirase's mom to that woman.. Didn't sound too well.. I mean, wouldn't she try to contact, where, what, or something?.. Like, don't they have rocket signals as well, or some other means?.. Either way, sounded like if she gave up, and was just cherishing last moments of how beautiful things around are.. Not necessary, though, could have been something else.. But yeah, sounded not too great.. |
| Shirase screaming LA TIENEN ADENTRO TODOS is the best by far. Pretty nice chapter. |

The story tells so much more than just cute girls going to Antarctica. I love it so much...... |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Finally set foot in Antarctica. IN YOUR FACE. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| I didn't like the first half of this episode. However, I find Gin and Shirase's relationship interesting. The whole "In your face" moment was too dramatic for me. I get that everyone made fun of her but this felt like a "and then everyone clapped" moment |
| Why does Japan even care about some frozen island so much? It's ice and snow and some penguins i guess, but does it really worth such efforts and expenses? People are ready to die and leave their families forever for some stupid chunk of ice with nothing on it? Is it for future, when all Earth except Antarctica will be destroyed? I always hated stupid anime parents like Takako who doesn't care about their kids, travels to God knows where and dies or gets lost, leaving kids devastated and traumatized. This annoying cockroach who had hots for Toudou really pissed me the fuck off. Who do he thinks he are? Also, i'm sure, she loves Takako. And did i understand this right: you can easily get shit-faced on such ship? In the middle of Antarctica? Most illogical. I most say i didn't expect to see this old style russian winter hat on Shirase. Is Takako alive? I don't know. And i can't say if i care anymore. This show bored me with it's long way to the point. I'm sure she is alive, though. |

| Everything about this anime is 10/10, but that part where they talked about how japan was 'bullied' after having lost the second world war was really distasteful. "Oh no, we killed a lot of innocents and wanted to kill more but we lost and now they're picking on us" like, what? |

| I really liked the conversation between Shirase and Gin. Cute penguins. :3 They made it to Antarctica! Good job, everyone! I'm so happy for the girls, especially Shirase. "In your face!" Exactly. |
 |
| Some awkwardness this episode had, can't really blame anyone though as they both were victims of circumstances. Good to see the rest of crew did everything to break the ice between them, even if that innocent love was sacrificed in the course lol. >In your face. Damn, really those last few minutes were something. |
 |
| Well time to cry ¡Tráguenselo! ざまみろ! (Zama miro) |

| Interesting, that finally we see a glimpse of that last comm with Takako, My prediction is that she might have forced herself to go to their observatory site to either watch the stars or fix some equipment... Hope, all of the expedition team will find closure and continue the dream. |
 |
| "Zamamiroooooo" man i can't imagine how painful it would be when i finish this anime |
| Damn that radio scene.. ''it's so very beautiful'' rip Takako-sasn :'(. Shirase proved to her haters that they were all wrong, to their faces! ^^ |
| Finally the long awaited Antarctica is here, I cant wait to see if they'll ever find her mom there. That mail at the end seemed very much surprising |
| This series really knows how to bring you to tears. so subtle, damn man congrats on shirase making her dream a reality. The mystery of her mom tho… let’s hope it’s solved soon. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Great episode. I love how we got some more background for Shirase. Also love how she just shouted "in your face". Her personality is so good. |
| Such a good episode, I am so happy Shirase her dream came true. Not just to proof everyone wrong, but also to find the closure she's been hoping for so much |
