Shiz Strong rabu raibu sunshine vibes this episode. Tamaki has a striking resemblance with Chika, Hinata having a Yousoro line and even a window reach seen with Yuzuki(resembles riko) and Chika doppleganger dang no wonder I'm digging this show

Would the Antartica reporter thingy be attractive enough a job to insist to an unwilling Yuzuki for Yuzuki's management? It will take an extreme amount of time and effort while she is shipped across and back 'farther than space', but looks like there isn't much attention, thus exposure to justify that investment, considering the rather lukewarm reaction to Antartica other characters showed. Also wouldn't be lucrative I think, considering the project was in jeopardy due to lack of funds, thus lack of interest... and she seems big(followers) and busy(looks jaded) enough not to rely on way out projects like that. Wouldn't she be better off just pursuing other domestic positions? Management politics? But she looks fairly sought after regardless

Anyway the EP was great, genuinely felt for Yuzuki
Couldn't recognise Hayamin's voice first time up, which I usually do, which is a good sign
She's awesome

This show has the best directing and characterization I have ever seen in an anime. Period. Every scene with the girls interacting is precious and never annoying like in other shows that try too hard to be cute all the time. Yuzuki's backstory wasn't necessarily unique, but damn did they sell it well and I felt it! I can't wait to see where the story is going!

Now I really want them to see the aurora :3

This shows conveys emotions very well. Loneliness, excitement, frustration, doubt, they all feel so real...It made me cry in the first episode in the train scene, when Kimari stays in the station instead of taking the train. And this one, when they all appeared on the hotel room after than dream. It makes me laugh my heart off in every comedic scene and rise my heartbeat with excitement when they feel so.

This may be my favorite show of the season so far.

Absolutely loved this episode.
It physically hurt when I saw that the girls left the group on that app.

Maybe it's just me that I feel this episode is the weakest among the three.

The introduction of the new character seems to be out of nowhere and within the same episode, they figured out the solution by befriending her.

She also seems to be pretty pathetic by announcing how she doesn't have any friend to someone she just met. Then, she suddenly became happy when the girls said they are going to befriend her. What? Is she a preschool kid?

Throughout the three episodes, we can see that:


  • Hinata is someone who has the strongest will among the four. She is smart but she doesn't have any special interest to spend time on.
  • Mari has a lot of dreams but her anxiety crippled her progression.
  • Shirase has a selfish mission and wanted to prove that she is capable of doing something but she doesn't really how to do it.
  • Yuzuki doesn't have any free time to do anything and she is lonely.


We are still early in the early episodes, so we might see some other characteristics that weren't shown yet.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.

Indeed, that was so heart-wrenching to see that, I really felt for her. I'm sure those friends meant the best, they were trying to hang out together, but with Yuzuki's busy schedule, she just didn't have the opportunity.

Goodness. Pure goodness. I kept checking the run time to make sure it wasn't ending, but it did. My favorite episode, kinda hit home a little bit, especially when those fakes left the LINE chat.

The camaraderie is sooo good.

Take note, future writers. This is how you write interesting and compelling young characters (both male and female). Give them personality, make them imperfect, make them animated.

Let me tell you, I can't recall the last time an MC girl with long black hair wasn't the super serious stoic character.

Anyone know what the OST title is?

These are some of the lyrics I got from listening ;

Ōkina yume o kanaetakute
Haru ga tōku tōku
Masshiro na sekai ni
Doko shita ina sai sho no ashi ato...

... Chīsana yume o kanaetakute
Negatta tsuyoku tsuyoku...

- It was playing in the background from around 18:30 - 21:14 in the episode.

Another lovely episode. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this series but it’s turned out to be one of the better adventure/SoL I’ve seen, at least so far. Great characters and their development has been handled nicely as well. Comedy can be a bit hokey at times but overall there are definitely more laughs than not.

And like others, I’m really glad they’re taking their time depicting this whole adventure. It’s easy to imagine them showing less restraint and rushing the girls to Antarctica... thankfully not the case here. Can’t wait to get caught up on the rest of the eps out so far. :)

This episode is fine too, but the part about the character of Shiraishi had to treat it more carefully, giving it more time. The gestation phase had to better confirm the link between the four girls, it is to better understand the discomfort that the girl felt in not being able to cultivate their friendships. Funny the various stages, too, the protagonists are real mad, almost demoniac. I hope that in the next there is more construction and not be too much with the narrative rhythm.

So I kept hearing great things about this, so I thought it was an overrated piece of shit....that is until I watched it. Good lord, this is the best show ever. I like more with every episode. At the part where Yuzuki was crying, it nearly brought me to tears as well. I love the characters. They all feel so real instead of being typical stereotypes. I can't wait to watch more.

I NEED Hinata's onigiri and fried shrimp shirts!





Someone, somewhere out there is making a hentai doujinshi about these two. I guarantee it!



Or with her and Mari:



Shirase as a child! That's fucking cute! And that penguin shirt! CUTE!

Blasphemy! xD

Hayami Saori as always is playing as a girl that's a bit quiet and cool at the same time

She opened up to them quite fast, maybe a little bit too fast
But this isn't real life, so anything is possible

I was going to complain that we were 3 episodes in and were still not on the boat, heck not even on the plane TO the boat yet. But screw that. This set up is going to make the actual trip more impactful down the line, and I’m glad we got an entire episode dedicated to our fourth character. Although we didn’t exactly get much with our third, the slightly annoying one, oh well.

I kind of want to see aurora borealis for myself now... I mean I always have but this episode made that urge even stronger... and dang do we get a touching end to our actresses’ little character arc. She went from “I could die now” (wanting to end her misery) to I could die now, saying that it would be alright if she happened to die then and there, because at least she’d be happy.

Yeah maybe it’s a bit to convenient the method in how they secure a ride on the ship, and sure maybe they’re kind of just using her at first, but I don’t care, I’m still looking forward to heart warming adventure

38k subscribers?.. Isn't it.. A small amount?.. Well, maybe it's on some blog site, where it's a big number or something, don't know.. Because both on twitter or youtube it'd be not a high number actually.. Well, maybe on some twitch.. Or who knows what Yuzuki is using.. Btw, when anime came out?.. In 2018.. Well, even then it was small numbers.. Well, again - maybe on some not huge platform..
Hm.. Hinata really sometimes is quite good in heart questions.. Or relationships.. Wonder, if that is one of her traits..
I really like this cast of girls, actually.. They are all so different personalities, and every girl has her things she's dealing with, every girl is different.. Characters are just great in this anime.. Even if maybe, to be honest, I don't feel like any of these girls - my type.. Like, I like some sides from all the girls.. But also don't feel like I like, like very like, any girl.. So it's kinda strange.. At the end of the day, it's not bad, though - all girls are interesting.. Just that also feels like there isn't best girl, or something like that.. But still - nice to see these girls at different things at times, really.. ;P
Another good episode.. This anime is very enjoyable so far.. ;P

Is this what CGDCT anime are like?? If yes then damn I’m missing out. I love the girls!!!!! The scene where they were trying to convince Yuzuki’s mum was HILARIOUS. Hinata cracks me up lolollll

That “weird dream” scene was so cinematic. I loved the silence & lack of OST right after Yuzuki was absorbing it all in — that she was truly all alone & wouldn’t have her taste at friendship when her trashy “friends” left the group chat & she heard the knock on the door. Only for her new friends that she so desperately yearned for that they surfaced in her dreams, to surface right at her doorstep. Her tears were so heartfelt. Great scene!!!!!







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
