| Pretty meh episode again. I couldn't care less about inflated drama around Hinata (which felt pretty much forced in the first place) and most of the wannabe laughing scenes wasn't even funny. Am I the only one who don't see real characters here, rather parody of theirs? Either they are way too naive or they overplay each drama pretty hard. It's so sad the series had such great start but most of the episodes have some needless crazy humor that doesn't really work well side by side cliche drama. I mean, some episodes were good (and ep9 even great) but the last two episodes were real disappointment. Also, those would-be after-credits cliffhangers are always pointing on something that turns pretty much inconsequential in the next episode. AbeldeMedici said: +1 Thanks, you summed up my feelings after this episode pretty well.So, I've just realized what was it that I was missing in these past two episodes: It's the sense of progression. In each episode from 1 to 9, they were closer to their goal while developing on the characters. Now that has stopped to focus just on the girls, and while I like their development I also miss that sense of excitement from the previous episodes. That's why I think this Antarctica arc feels somehow weaker compared to the journey itself. Hope that will improve on the last two episodes. |

| Yet another boring episode... I like Hinata, but I just didn't care at all about her past :/ It's not that the drama is bad, it just feels forced and so out of place now that they are at Antarctica. It's like it doesn't even matter where they are, like the whole place is just a random setting to the drama episodes. |
 |
| I don't get how they do this, another fantastic episode! What a great ending! Shirase you are the mvp. This anime and Yuru Camp just teaches us that we should enjoy the little things in life. Amazing how animes with such unexpected plot turn out to be one of the best animes i've seen! At the beginning, it was an 8/10 for me but now it's a solid 9/10. |

| Really really good episode. Loved Shirase standing up for her friend like that. She said everything that needed to be said. I may be spiteful but I would have a hard time forgiving someone too, and normally anime goes for the wholesome “forgive and forget and everyone is best friends again” trope, so this was really nice to see for a change. Also loved Yuzuki saying “this is friendship!” Lmao + that Shirase x Hinata hug was cute af |
 |
| The power of friendship. It was n ice of Shirase defending Hinata about her crappy friends now ex-friends. |
| So that was the reason why Hinata quit school...I love Shirase!!! She did a great job telling Hinata's old friends all that, the chemistry between Hinata and Shirase is great. |
 |
| Things are going pretty smooth in Antarctica. Good character development. |
 |
Great way to start an episode I would love to have seen the faces of the bitches that abandoned Hinata after Shirase's speech, but this is fine too I guess. |
   |
| Wonderful episode, their friendship is truly special, and the way they stood up for her was just great! Really wonderful episode and I am looking forwards to see what the next episode has to offer! |
 |
| This really was one of the best episodes this season. I feel like I’ve said this before...it’s just that pretty much all the episodes were the best XD Lol at Kimari and her sun tan. At first I was like what are they laughing at. Then I was like ahaha! I never seen Hinata so mad like that...and it was nice seeing Shirase so worried about her and not giving up until she knew what was bothering her. I loved the part where Hinata and Shirase were talking and she put her hand on her face and said this is all I need. I just can’t take the feels...;-; Then at the end with Shirase telling Hinata’s supposed friends off was the best tbh. All episode such powerful emotions! FMmatron said: Post ed scene was kinda creepy,like from a different genre xD I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that lol |
 |
| This episode was so bad tbqh |
| I don't think I have a taste for the way this anime approaches its melodrama in this over the top yet still strangely superficial, maybe even immature fashion. I'm reminded relatively often watching this that perhaps this show's demographic is a younger audience than me. But I'm known to enjoy melodramatic, over the top anime drama in the past, so I'm wondering if this is a Sora Yori thing specifically or if my tastes aren't just evolving past it. Maybe it's just that the characters aren't developed enough and the setting isn't serious enough for me to care. It is, at any rate, the least appealing part of the show. Which makes me sad, because it appears to be the selling point for a lot of other watchers. |

| Finally some Hinata. I thought this would end up in Hinata forgives her previous classmates and she gets to live happy but I'm glad this wasn't the case. |
 |
| kimari and her never fading sun tan amuses me |
| As someone who had to study from home because of some assholes in highschool, this episode means the world to me. It's pretty nice to know that Hinata is great nowadays - as am I! ♥ - and that she has friends who will stood beside her no matter what! This episode was truly beautiful, and Shirase "PISS OFF" literally made me tear up. Friendship is so beautifully represented in this anime. :') |
 |
| I wouldn't forgive those "friends" after all this time. |

SuperDuperSaiyan said: I didn't really understand the story with the track team, can someone please explain it? It's been covered earlier, but in short: - school needs to select representative for each track event in competition. - typically schools have a race among its track team members to select. - unspoken "rule" in most schools where seniors (3rd yr) should be selected since it's their last chance. - Hinata, as a junior but more talented than seniors, was encouraged by her (junior) friends to not hold back in selection race. - Hinata wins, gets selected to represent school, and is immediately ostracized by the seniors on the track team. - she then overhears the seniors berating her junior friends, who then backpedal and claim they told Hinata to let the seniors win - Hinata feels betrayed by her friends, and is implied she gets bullied as her junior "friends" dump her as well - situation deteriorates that Hinata felt she had to quit school altogether - years later, her junior teammates find out Hinata will be on TV and try to use that opportunity to appear on TV (and maybe force Hinata to forgive them to save face) - cue Shirase. |
| Looks like a bit of baggage was resolved for Hinata! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Well, I guess Hinata was due for some character development surrounding friendship too, since all the other main cast got some. I wasn't expecting her to get any development, and I would have been fine with that. |
 |
| Lol that "Yuu-kun" girl is still there Damn Shirase, I love her Chances to get a friend like her who can stand up for her friend is just lower than the chance of finding aliens in Antartica xD Kinda wish they showed us the "worst" friends of Hinata's reactions "Gotta bear that sin for the rest of your life" ざま見ろ！ |

| I like how shirase and hinata always argued to one another but they were the most that understand each other compared to other two great ep btw |

| Goddamn it, every episode they find a new way to hit you in the feels. It doesn't feel like your cheap tears, melodrama sort of stuff either, at least for me personally. Great series. |
| I love how Shirase told them off, I'm a bit like Hinata in that regard. I don't forgive people easily, if you behave like an ass then live the rest of your life like an ass. |
| now THIS is the Power of Friendship I can tolerate Tacsk0 said: This episode was weak and stupid. Let me say melodrama is always junk and a talented director never resorts to such a cheap "solution" to fill screen-time. Secondly the whole premise is unrealistic and ridiculous. I mean such emotionally unstable and immature people would never be allowed on an expedition which goes to the end of the world for at least 3 months. They don't want suicides and people getting into fights with each other at a base that more or less resembles a prison, with adverse weather acting as the chain fence. So how would those hysterical girls and ladyfolk pass muster during the psychology evaluation? They would never get a chance to set foot on the ship, much less see Antarctica. these girls are definitely more mature than most people out there and you can tell from the way they deal with problems and obstacles that stood in their way. i don't see how they're emotionally unstable. Hinata especially was able to act tough in front of everyone despite her past coming back to haunt her. and even if they are emotionally unstable and immature as you claimed, who are you to say they're not allowed on this kind of expedition? where's your source to prove this really is true? Do you even know the prerequisites for participating in an expedition like this? If you don't know, then stop talking bs and piss off. |

| To be honest I feel like the way Hinata's past has been explored was a little weak... Just like pretty much everything drama-related in this show, it is just slightly talked about and then you're in for tears and tears and tears again. And the topic that has been covered in this ep is one that hits so close to home and that I've never seen in any show before (at least in such a realistic manner), I was hoping for it to be explored more in depth but at the end it felt very superficial, which really annoys me as I feel like the show wants to cover deep subjects but at the same time doesn't know how to handle it. Maybe I just take it too personally, but I really don't like when shows use painful topics like this to make it look like they're "deep" when they actually have no idea what they're talking about and it shows. Wish they added some subtlety to all this, not just in this episode but every ep covering some drama, but well, at least they're really trying to make the characters feel real. However I also have issues with the character development. I feel like they're using the "tell don't show" narrative (like for exemple with Yuzuki saying "This is friendship" when we've never seen her truly working on her friendship issues since last episode ended with her crying over the fact she blew up her birthday party by sneezing on the cake and she got barely any screentime in this one), and the characters aside from Shirase really aren't shown (keyword "shown") evolving this much, which is too bad, I feel like this show could do better than that. But that doesn't mean I dislike this show ! It's just that given how much praise it gets, I feel the need to explain why I believe this show is far from perfect, while still being good. |

| Yet another amazing episode. The focus is on Hinata now, but before that I gotta say I did not know that there was a place like that in Antarctica, where there was no snow/ice. Also, Shirase the master of mahjong lol I don't play mahjong, but I'm guessing Kimari wasn't just asking but was giving away information about what pieces Shirase had lol So we finally got the backstory of Hinata. To me, she's been the most mysterious so far, especially with her constant smile and energy. We rarely see her troubled or down or haunted by her past, unlike Shirase or even Yuzu. It was horrible, what happened to Hinata. They were the ones who pushed her on and yet they were the ones who took part in her ostracisation. It wasn't even just a denial, they claimed that they were against the whole thing. I can at least understand a denial since when you're under that kind of pressure, it's easy to say to people you should've done the right thing but when you're in that situation it's not as easy. But to actually claim you did something that was the complete opposite of what you actually did is heinous. And then after Hinata left club and then school, they started spreading rumours about her? These are toxic people. The bond between Shirase and Hinata was unexpected. I thought Hinata would be closer to Kimari, but turns out I was wrong. But it's so touching and beautiful. That ending scene was the absolute best. One of the best scenes of this entire anime. I can't get enough of hearing and seeing Shirase fully determined and full of strength, spirit, and, this time, rage. There's just something about her look, her eyes, and the way she talks in these moments. Powerful is one word. She really doesn't mince her words or is afraid of anything like being rude to others. She even said it herself that she's saying it because unlike Hinata, she doesn't care and she'll say it out loud and directly at them. Do they really feel guilt? They just came and talked to her only after she's gone all the way to Antarctica. I'm not someone who believes that people can't be forgiven, but they don't seem all that remorseful. If they were truly remorseful and they truly felt bad for what they did, and not just "yeah, I feel bad about what happened so I'm sorry", then they deserve forgiveness. Maybe not a second chance. Sometimes it's better to just let things end. But if it's something like this? Unless you show true remorse and regret for what you did, don't even bother. As Shirase said, stay away from Hinata. She's done far greater things than you've accomplished and probably will ever accomplish in your life in the time that she's been away from you. Powerful. Amazing. Inspirational. Loving it. Kimari's journey, the main focus for the first half of the season, has been covered. Yuzu's journey, covered by last episode. Hinata's journey, this episode. And so that leaves Shirase's journey, hers and her mother. I'm guessing that's what the final scene before the credits was hinting at with the map in Gin's office. Preparing for a feels storm. |
 |
| Throughout the episode everytime I see Kimari I just crack up because of those tan marks. And I just noticed that they were included in the op lmao. And of course Shirase asserting her dominance as best girl once again, this show is so fucking great. |

| Christ, just when you thought the show had reached its peak, it goes up another gear again, Shirase's speech produced some sniffles out of me, characters are beyond brilliant. |

| it's so sad how hinata is probably the most broken from the group when she's also the most positive (excluding mari). she had to go through all that by herself and no one supporting her :/ where are her parents though? we've seen a glimpse of all the girls' parents but not hinata's. so happy for shirase!! shirase has grown so much from the first episode. i like how shirase's focus is going towards her friends. she was so concerned about hinata. |
| As soon as I saw Kimari's face I died. I would've had the same reaction as her mother and sister. It even was like that the entire episode lmao I wasn't expecting Shirase to tell off Hinata's friends like that. Depressed girl's man finally wrote to her hahahaha |
 |
| Even when we're at the other end of the world at the bottom thousands of miles away from home, we can't just escape your typical high school drama can we I do appreciate the focus on Hinata though. Was afraid she was just going to be the throwaway outgoing side character that didn't really have a back story and lacked depth over all. Glad that isn't the case and that each of them now have shown their flaws and their problems that they bear together as friends |

FireFistYK said: Exaclty this I couldn't say it better, let me add this, when Shirase said you can't live your life in this half state I've been wondering if me giving SoraYori a rare 10/10 is a bit too much? Then I watch the episode and wonder why I can't give it an 11. There has been so much character progression for each and every girl in this series that it's mad. We get the happy segment and then get hit by the feels part. I'm lost for words because it's hard to explain why this is such a masterpiece she even moved Gin to start her plan as well, the details in the story is insane. |
| Well, yeah, Hinata seemed like kind of person that lives and does everything on her own.. And could have been without friends as well.. As well as she doesn't have family, or not, I wonder?.. Well, as if she would - wouldn't they invite family instead?.. And yeah, if it's some friends she didn't contact for ages - of course Hinata would just think that they appeared either of sense of guilt, or wanting to get popularity, or because it'd be proper thing to do to appear on translation, even if they don't care about her that much.. I mean, fuck those people, who'd only show up on such occasion.. Even if they do care about you or something.. If you really want to have relationship - you don't have to do it through some TV meeting.. |
| Kimari’s tan line was HILARIOUS lollllllol Having friends who would feel hurt, upset & injustice for you. I felt Hinata’s tears♡ She has found her people. These girls are so precious!!!!!! |
 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 |
| bro Kimari's tan lines were there through out the entire episode xD This episode's spotlight goes to Hinata. Though what her friends did was awful it's a pity she was forced to quit the club and eventually her school due to the rumors that are spreading around about her, It's utterly unimaginable for her to forgive them right away just imagine someone that you detest showed up in front of you and pretend like nothing happened I mean they did apologized for what they did but that was after they showed up... even so...there are times that you should forgive someone for what they did And it seems like Shiraishi now knows about friendships that was so wholesome❤ |
 |
| I guess Hinata was the star of this episode. This track team stuff is news to me. I thought she was a genius who quit school halfway and had entrance exams in two years? Maybe she was making it up? I understand the girls' reaction of "piss off". I would feel the same. It's clear the girls only reached out cuz she went to Antarctica. I was half expecting another "and the whole bus clapped" moment when they were done telling the girls to piss off lol. That scene did make me want to have friends tho. |
| C'mon is this a really good time for extremely forced high-school drama? What about some frozen mom or penguins, anything... Why do people rate this episode and the whole show so high? It's just boring! You can make the story like this anywhere, you don't need Antarctica for this. I dislike this episode not because i hate drama, and this is really bad and cliche example of drama. I just hate wasting my time. |

I'm starting to get a little perplexed by this animes high rating |
