| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This is nice, they even detail the trip itself with scenes on their airplane. The experience honestly feels real with the in-flight service. Eww airplane food During their journey, I think its nice that the group is getting some wonderful sights of the attractions. Personally, I found the night scenery of this episode to be impressive especially for sightseeing. They should also be aware of where they put their passports... |

| Another great episode. Shiraishi was gold this episode haha. She noticed how both Hinata and Shirase were hiding something and stared them down... Also the dreadful music that played out whenever it happened to Shirase... that was a riot xD And then came the punishment game haha. That was cute. Though i have to say... Durian isn't that bad lol. I never found the smell that bad as a kid... though i do hate the smell now... but the taste isn't supposed to be bad lol. I had Durian Ice Cream before as well... wasn't that bad. Wasn't very good either though  Mod Edit: Please do not post more than 1 screenshot per post. |

| Another excellent episode. Emotions all over the place. I was laughing through tears at the end. |
| once again we have another amazing episode,, we have really been blessed w/ this series it really does encompass the phrase "it's about the journey not the destination" |
| Remember guys, it's not about the destination but about the journey. |
 |
| Great episode again. Singapore, I'd like to visit some day too. :D The rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to share the bed with Kimari was hilarious. The sightseeing in the first half was a lot of fun to watch. The night view was beautiful. :) Them photo poses though. xD Looks like Hinata lost her passport, that's a pretty serious deal though. Really like the scene where Hinata talks to Shirase about he she didn't want people to be considerate of her because she couldn't understand how they feel because of it. Absolutely loved the scene at the airport where Shirase refuses to leave Hinata behind and saying that the four of them going together was her first priority. I got pretty emotional when Shirase and Hinata started tearing up. It was also kinda heartwarming to see how close the girls have becomes after being mere strangers a few episode ago. That soundtrack when Shirase found Hinata's passport in her bag. Epic. The moment that happened I started grinning. XDD Antarctica soon? |
 |
| I'm gonna rewatch this amazing episode. It's just outstanding in so many ways... >w>;;; Episode starts out really funny, then it got emotional midway, and then the highlight of the episode was the intense BGM where Shirase discovered Hinata's missing passport that was actually on her shoulder bag all along. She completely forgot? xD Now let's get eating!! Shirase-chan and Hinata-chan's DUUUURIAAAAN SHOOOOWW!! xDD Damn, the voice acting in this anime is spectacular, as always! Enjoyable every single time! :DD |
| Watching the new A Place Further Than the Universe episode. I loathe to admit it, but even when the time to get to Antarctica is very slow, I think I finally understand that what this anime is focusing on the most: the journey of the girls and how they overcome their weaknesses as they move to the next location and learn to cope with one another. I think I let the intriguing premise drive my impatience, clouding any positive judgment I may have with the lovable main cast and their developments. I would like to see an episode where a side-character rushes to catch up with the main cast, preferably a character with human isolation as an obstacle and rushing the journey letting his/her reckless nature get the best of them. A Place Further Than the Universe's premise is set up in a way that the type of people that are extremely curious about the premise and impatient of the journey can view this anime in a negative light and be unable to see the perspectives of people that immediately get what the anime is accomplishing. Something of a "meta" message for viewers that want to see the young girls get to the boat traveling to Antarctica quickly to learn something new and powerful. But the chances of that are pretty low. I just want the anime to be something every kind of person can enjoy all-the-way through when the anime finally ends. |
 |
| Singapore passport drama! Thank Christ Shirase got her money back, that woulda sucked. But really, all that drama because Hinata had to be so foolishly stubborn. She may be the sexiest girl, but her personality needs work. I was glad Shirase gave her that talking to while buying the tickets. On a lighter note, I loved Mari's bed monopolizing! XD |
| @duderus please spoiler your gifs. This much is an exaggeration. clannadlover said: Ok, this episode is very annoying for one reason and one reaeson only... That hate on the Durian fruit... It stinks tp hte high heavens but it doesn't taste bad in fact it's quite sweet, why are they making it out as if the fruit also taste like dish soap? Ok rant over, now a question for anyone who may have been paying more attention than I was. Did they ever mention they were going to Singapore? I thought they were going to Aussie in one leap? Was it ever mentioned that they would stop over at the smallest country in the world? Singapore airport acts as a transit hub, like Hong Kong or Dubai. I don't think there are direct flights to Perth from Tokyo. |
| I don't know who is a greater airhead in this episode Shirase or Hinata... |
| Very nice episode,I really have the urge to travel myself now. And I lost my shit when Shirase found Hinatas passport,that was gold xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Shirase just putting all of her money on the line just so her new friend gets to come. That was so great, couldn't help but almost tear up at this moment. DISCOUNT PLEASE! I laughed my fuckin ass off when Shirase found the passport LOL |
 Yuzu's "Hinata-san, nani ka kakushitemasu yo ne? Kakushitemasu yo ne?" was alright, but it soon escalated to "Satsui desu" towards Kimari with real intent in her eyes! And then her "Shirase-san, nani ka kakushitemasu yo ne? Kakushitemasu yo ne?" gave me goosebumps! She is scary! She will definitely murder one of the three girls by the end of this anime! 5/5 |

| This show is really, really good. Like, it's already upsetting that it only has 13 episodes good. How can you not love these characters and their interactions? Lol. If there was at least 3 more cours of these four traveling the rest of the world after Antarctica, I'd be tuned in the entire way through. |

Was it ever mentioned that they would stop over at the smallest country in the world? if you consider the fact that japanese food usually had little seasoning. Japanese food doesnt have strong taste. on the contrary, durian has really strong taste. And for me its a bit relatable, with durian its really either you really love it or hate it... |
 |
| It was so damn good!! Wasn't expecting that hilarious ending, lmao. 5/5 |
 |
| Earlier in the series I think Shirase would have absolute prioritized getting to Antarctica on her own even if she had to leave the other three behind so it was nice to see how now she want to make sure ALL FOUR made it to Antarctica together,it shows how much she and their friendship has developed. Hinata was surprisingly understanding and was actually urging them to go without her and that she would follow behind afterwords,any other anime would have probably made drama out of this and made her be selfish and want the others to stay behind and wait for her causing tension within the group. Aside from that Yuzuki's "You're hiding something,aren't you?" was pretty funny. |

| This is probably the best episode of the series, does not feel like a filler as character development is present and it was hilarious. Plus there are no direct flights from Tokyo to Perth, closest option would be Singapore, other options might include Doha, Dubai or Jakarta but Singapore would make the most sense I guess. This episode is both hilarious and emotionally moving. Sande said: So the whole passport situation could've been resolved right away if they had just checked their belongings but instead they had to extend it into 20 minutes of drama... Honestly I would rather have that 'drama' over just exploration. Plus, that passport being lost help show their strong friendship and it is satisfying. |
 |
| b-but durian is not that bad.. nice episode, esp how they picture Singapore, I've been there myself ^^ |
| The girls had a very fun time at Singapore. Shirase helping out Hinata because she lost her passport was nice, but that could've been resolved if they checked their belongings in the beginning. The scene with the Durian fruit was amusing. |
 |
| Nice episode for character development :] But I think I'm missing something, why did she buy 4 business class tickets and not just 1 for Hinata? Would have been a waste of money if the passport wasn't found. At least I assume they already called the expedition crew of the icebreaker before they went to the airport for asking for a different departure date... |

| The girls are already in trouble after having just left. Well things where solver in the end even if it was one major confused. At least the got to taste the local fruit... |
| Mari mentions dreaming about being a plane - cut to the start of the opening with her lying on her bed with her arms wide. -- I see what you mean... *nods* Penguins! :D Disappointed by not being disappointed? These girls... That durian ice cream... :D Nice views again, if of a city instead of nature this time. Excellent solution, to both the passport troubles, and the troubles between the two girls. Until the passport turns up, at least, then it's time for the punishment... :D Oh, and Yuzuki's almost yandere moments were brilliant! |

| Passport drama leading to shiraze and hinata moments, shiraze chooses her friend over coming on time :'( Singapore promotion :) |
 |
| Of all the people to 'forget' their passports I didn't expect Hinata to be the one that does. The fact that nobody checked their own bags was hilarious. Night scenes were amazing. Reminded me a lot of last week's episode of Yuru Camp. The airport scene showed how much Shirase's friendship with the girls mattered to her. Willing to part with 1 million yen and willing to delay the trip just so everyone can be together. |

| Definitely the best show of the season, I don't have other words to describe it! XD |
| rofl shirase is such a dork hopefully she refunds all those business class ticket |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Looks like Mari isn't the only one that's on a plane for the first time. It was interesting seeing how the girls fare on the plane though. Yuzuki got saddled with the job of keeping them out of trouble i see. To think that Hinata's willing to try and solve the passport problem on her own though. But i have to say Shirase's answer to that talk with Hina though was surprising and showed how much the friendship changed her. Yuzuki's perception skills though really are sharp. But the durian show as punishment was an interesting idea. |

| I can't believe they really lost something so important on the first day. I wonder how the rest of the journey is gonna go. The episode was pretty cute though, seeing Yuzuki angry was the best. |

| All is well that ends well : they could cancel the new tickets and get the million yen back :) Nevertheless, that''s typically the kind of not funny and completely stupid shit that happens sometimes when traveling but the good thing is, you laugh about it years later remembering or telling the stories (I have some on my own). And honestly, even though it doesn't seems realistic, that's precisely because it is that it's believable for me. I could relate too when they were speaking about them passing by, while all the people around were in their daily lives. That's a thought I had sometimes, like I am in another dimension, in another reality even though I'm in the middle of all these people. Side-note : I had the feeling Hinata was once in the track and field club. |
| Someone's money is definitely being sucked here for the actual trip to Singapore. And oh yeah, Hinata when her hair down is pretty bae herself. Power of long hair. MichaelBaysWaifu said: Nice episode for character development :] But I think I'm missing something, why did she buy 4 business class tickets and not just 1 for Hinata? Would have been a waste of money if the passport wasn't found. At least I assume they already called the expedition crew of the icebreaker before they went to the airport for asking for a different departure date... They didn't want to leave her out. I mean: if you remember Hinata overslept. Well, actually she did because Shirase turned off her alarm and went to buy new tickets with the other two in secret. Hinata was being considerate (after her whole lecture of hating people being considerate of her) and Shirase didn't want her to get in the way of their kindness. Long story short: the alarm plot failed, the tickets were "out" and thus we get the airport scene, Shirase had to "bribe" her way to get new tickets on the new schedule (a very legit thing in airline industry.) |

| I got so triggered when Shirase used the money for that... At least they were able to cancel it so yay? I must say that realization part from Shirase also Kimari and Yuzuki not having a clue about what the hell happened between the other 2 was funny. |

  This was so sharp I cut myself, damn. Loved this episode again. A bit of conflict that I like a lot because: 1. It stems from something very normal and relatable. 2. It is only magnified by the personality flaws of the characters. 3. They don't need to actually argue or be in bad terms to portray tension. However the climax was sort of excessive. Too artificial and theatrical both in the wording and in the insert of music. I get where it comes from but this burst was kind of lackluster to me after seeing the previous development and specially how subtle the show can get in the interactions and the little frictions that should happen organically in whatever group of friends. That aside, a wonderful episode. The drama was very well-handled up to that point and the rest of the episode was a lot of fun, particularly on Yuzuki's dry and sharp style of comedy, which I enjoyed a lot here. The enthusiastic tourist mindset and playful discovery were handled greatly as well. |
| It hasn't happened to me, yet, but potentially losing your passport while in another country must be a really stressful feeling. I'm surprised that both Hinata forgot about giving Shirase her passport to look after and Shirase for leaving it in her bag and forgetting it completely. Still, at least they were able to get the refund on the business class tickets and get the million yen back, so hooray! =3 Thanks to their forgetfulness though, the drama did develop Hinata and Shirase's friendship really well. The fact that Shirase was willing to use up her million yen to help Hinata and the others shows how much she cares for her friends. =) While viewing the beautiful night time scenery, Kimari spoke about how other people are living their lives like normal in Singapore and back in Japan. I thought about that when I was having a city break in Riga, Latvia a few weeks back, thinking about how the locals were living their daily lives while looking out of the hotel room window and walking around the old part of the city. Kimari's words were surprisingly powerful. The girls should be in Fremantle next episode, so I see them departing with the crew in the next episode as well. |
| Such an enjoyable series! It reminds me so much of Shirobako on many levels. |

| lol that was a fun episode, glad they focused so much on <----- BEST FUCKING GIRL too bad we didn't get to see her take her shirt off or shower :( lol at the end |
   |
| Incredible episode! The conflict between Shirase and Hinata improved their characters a lot, especially Hinata. And it was great to see how Shirase spent the million yen for the sole purpose of them traveling together. But the one thing I loved the most about this episode was tbh the sense of traveling. The airplane ride and them just being tourists in Australia. Madhouse did superb to capture the feeling of being on vacation |
 |
| Outstanding episode! I really love everything so far from this Anime! Singapore was so beautifully drawn, really loved the way the landmarks were such highly detailed, especially the Marina Bay Sands. Night shot was even better Now I really want to visit this place.... Comedy was great again, I would never get bored with it. The Durian Ice/Fruit scenes were great, good reminder to NEVER touch that fruit! |
