I've been keeping track of how much the characters have cried in this series so far: after this episode, we're at 12 times in 10 episodes, with only three episodes so far not containing any crying.

Damn that friendship talk, kinda hurt because it's true in a way
It's that vague, you can't tell or define when you become friends

I don't know I like Yuzu, but her character is pretty unrealistic
If you know Celebs, most of them have very high ego, they won't stand normal people
Ofc not all of them but still, never really saw/heard a celeb like her exist irl

An episode full of feelz. Well friendship certainly is a difficult thing to determine, just like faith or love. It really is all about the feelings, if you enjoy being around someone that one is probably your friend.

Okay this episode made me switch best girl once again. Now it's Kimari. I love her.
And wow, this scene with Yuzuki's birthday made me feel so much for her... Saori Hayami did a great job, and Yuzu turned out being an even more relatable character than I initially thought. (Poor girl sneezing on her birthday cake...)
However, this episode confirmed to me the issue I have with this show since the episode revealing Megumi as the jealous type : the drama is pretty forced. Don't get me wrong, the characters are well-written and their reactions make sense considering the dorky teenagers they are, but the way the drama happens feels unnatural. It's like the show decides it's time for drama, so it suddenly creates a situation that will leads for a certain character to break and express her feelings, no matter if the whole thing seems to be coming out of nowhere. I mean, there are signs of it in the way the girls behave but it still seems forced somehow... I don't know how to really put it. But at least, the show manages to make me care about the characters, something SOLs with drama can easily fail in my opinion.
However, just a last little thing... Hinata is actually getting a little bit on my nerves. I mean, I love her, but at the same time she reminds me of all those people I met who don't understand what "socially awkward" means and so just make you feel bad and ashamed of yourself because you don't have "normal" reactions. I feel bad for Shirase being constantly scolded by her and now Yuzu has been a victim of that too (in some way)... Leave my awkward babies alone. But at least that's realistic, and I guess she is the one managing to prevent the girls from falling apart considering how dorky and sensitive they are. I just hope for the show to aknowledge how harsh she can be (because this kind of behaviour can be unintentionally very hurtful, especially when you're a teen trying to understand yourself), but I can't imagine any of the other girls actually confronting her with that...
But all this is partially why Mari has become my favorite character. Instead of scolding, she just goes with the feels, cries, hugs and just tries her best despite how awkward she herself is... She is pure and I love her.

Great episode.

Shirase and the penguins was hilarious, and showed a cute side of hers too!

Yuzu's confusion at Kimari saying they were best friends and thinking that happened when she was in Hokkaido was so darn cute. How she pouted and went all depressed was beyond cute!

It was a great message about friendship. It really is something that's difficult to define, and I feel so sad knowing that this was the first true friendship that Yuzu's ever felt (sad and happy of course!). She's never had people who really hung out with her like this, who she could really call 'friends'. I've definitely been there before, not knowing whether my social relationship with someone was already in the 'friendship' stage or whether it was something less. And I've also been in the position where I was desperate for a friendship to remain, like how Yuzu made that funny contract. It really showed how much Yuzu cherished them and was desperate not to lose them.

What Shirase said was true but it really stabbed. Friendships often fade and that's nobody's fault.

Such a sweet and heartwarming birthday! Glad that even in Antarctica, they managed to make Yuzu a cake and celebrate her first birthday with friends! I teared up too when Yuzu started crying as they surprised her. So wholesome and heartwarming and all the feels! Here's hoping they remain friends forever, and Yuzu doesn't have to feel the sting of loneliness ever again.

Also, I totally misread the email lol I thought last episode it was from Shirase's mom but it was from Shiraishi's mom. No wonder I was a bit weirded out by why the first name was Tamiko. I thought it was just a mistake in translation lol

I teared up a bit with Yuzu's birthday, it was quite touching and delicate scene.
I'm so happy for all of them that their trip goes so well for them.

Dafuq?.. Why everyone was cosplaying while they were flying away on the helicopter?.. ;D
Well.. Can't they just download terabyte of hentai, so life doesn't get boring there?.. ;P Well, ok, semi-joking.. But for real.. I'd download tons of books for this occasion.. It's only 3 months trip, I'd probably read no more than 10, depending on their length.. Or download lots of anime.. Probably both.. But books are good in this occasion.. Books' size is really small on computer, so you really won't run out of them to read..

I´m not denying that Yuzuki birthday part really made me sad. I felt it really deep, like almost everything on the series, and I don´t know why. That´s part of the magic this series has

Once again, why did Kimari stay friends with Megumi? The teens in this show act like little children. I don't see why people think they behave like actual teens. NGL the birthday cake scene with Yuzu hit me a tiny bit in the feels. Must have been pretty tough moving around so much and not being able to solidify any friendships.

Definitely felt like one of the weakest episodes so far but the show has been pretty strong up until this so hoping it continues that momentum

Yuzuki was certainly cute but the episode itself was mostly cringe and predictable. I want more adventure and less drama! I find it hard to believe that Yuzuki requires a lecture on how friendships are supposed to be even if she didn't have friends before. She isn't a little kid.

Really nice character development for Yuzuki. I'm glad she realized what the friendships are all about.

Happy Birthday, Yuzuki! <3

Well Yuzu being one of those who needs thing spelled out to her in loud and clear words, like I don't really blame her cuz that's just how she was brought up. Though now she has few friends of her own, hope she understands that feeling of friendship bit by bit.

Another mesmerizing episode.

This episode hurts too much. I don't think I have it as bad as Yuzu but I definitely saw it from her perspective much more than from the other three girls. I'm glad she has those 3 with her and hope nothing bad happens to them.

What a beautiful episode again, so true with "being friends" being as vague as it is. There's no defined beginning or end point (usually), and you never even realize you are friends with someone until you don't even know what life would look like without that person. To me it seems that is exactly what has happened here, the girls have been together that long and been through so much that they have built a near unbreakable bond without even realizing it.

I love how they even prepared a cake for Yuzuki so they could celebrate a late birthday for her. Can't believe she'd sneeze on it though, even if it was an accident.

Oh and them all celebrating Christmas together, even in Antarctica. It really shows what expeditions like this are really all about, yes they may serve a primary purpose (as in collecting foreign materials, etc), but the people are what make things like this worthwhile.

Ugh, I did NOT like this episode, and that's despite relating to Yuzu's social anxiety.

There's just not the TIME for contrived drama like this. We're finally in Antartica with 2 episodes left for pity's sake.

Yuzuki was cute when she was jealous of the 3
Yuzuki is also cute while crying
Yuzuki was blowing the candle

Conclusion:

This show does such a good job at making me cry time and time again. Yuzuki her personal growth and all her emotions in this episode were way too precious. I am glad the girls explained her what friendship means
