| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh, an episde of sailing across the seas. Interesting and fun stuff between the girls as they bond even more during this trip. I'd say this has been a fun experience for them so far including Shirase. Seems like they're finally about to arrive to their destination. Exciting~ |
 |
| Life on a ship is not easy thing as we can see in this episode, but the girls overcame it. That after credits scene tho... |
 |
| And our ship has set sail at last! The girls were having an understandably rough time getting used to the seasickness accompanying ship life. But they rode out the rough waters, and were rewarded with a beautiful, icy sight. Antarctica, and a solemn bouquet of flowers apparently, is within their grasp! |
| Fantastic episode again. It was fun watching the girls get used to life on the ship, the cooking, the running, the laundry, it was all really pleasant to watch. Seasickness sure took it's toll on the girls, it looked really rough. However, a little bit of inspiration and willpower is all it takes to overcome the odds and the scene with the girls pulling themselves to embrace the adventure was great. The scene with the girls opening the door and witnessing first hand the rough waves just as the vocals of the insert song kick in was amazing. Episode after episode, this show knows how to make the most impactful and meaningful endings to the episode. I was smiling through the entire final segment. :D "No Clouds, No Birds, The view is a single sheet of blue. I strain my eyes, but the horizon is all I can see. I know I was probably hearing the sounds of the boat, but that overwhelming scenery seemed to render everything silent. I was looking out on an infinite world reminiscent of outer space." Truly beautiful descriptions that really bring out the feeling of adventure. <3 |
 |
| Another absolutely great episode! The girls experienced for the first time how life's like aboard a ship rockin' through the rough waves. It isn't easy to conquer seasickness. Must be really hard to sleep if you feel like throwing up again and again as the ship sways back and forth. It's tough, but they chose to go on this journey together, so the only choice is to overcome this by moving forward and ride the waves. Shirase-san during the interview sessions continues to be funny. xD Antarctica is within their sights! They're about to land! Oh, and another beautiful insert song was playing in the background within this episode! :D |
| it's been a while since i have laughed so much at anything definitely my AOTS |
| Great episode as always. The feels ship is landing on Atarctica soon. |
| Awesome episode. It was rough getting there but they finally made it. This show makes me extremely nervous sometimes because of how consistently awesome it has been so far. Each episode I go into I'm like "Ok the show can't be this damn good. This is gonna be the episode I don't like" But that has yet to happen and I'm so fucking happy that it hasn't. I'm praying that this show can stick the landing toward the end. |
| Taking the moment to enjoy summer before departing was a nice idea. And now their journey to their goal really begins. Watching the girls antics on the ship was hillarious though. To be able to train while en route though is a good thing. Guess the motion sickness was only the tip of the iceberg. Those waves that they went through sure were large. But its nice that even so Mari and the others are still positive about the outcome. The scene where they went to see the waves was funny though but showed their determination to overcome the challenges. And after overcoming so many challenges they are finally here. An excellent episode as always. |

| Wow,directing in this show is always on point and pretty much every episode is a blast.Loved the moment when they went on deck while the storm raged outside. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What a glorious insert song... the moment when the song plays is just epic... It sounds fun, full of energy and adventure.. glorious episode as always |
 |
| Things are gonna get a little sad after seeing that post-credit scene, but boyo this episode was funny :] Hmm, I hear an old and peculiar thread echoing from a very far distance...  |
 |
| Definitely AOTS. Late watching since my pre-ordered cd of opening and ending came earlier and I was playing it the entire time and I forgot the time of the airing LOL |
| Kitan~! |
| Going outside with that weather was suicidal as fuck, wtf. |

| Very infectious as usual with the adventure and optimism. With that in mind and how the series has been so far, i can somewhat accept that they actually went OUTSIDE in a storm. Dangerous as shit still though. |
| Sea sickness is hard the first times but you get used to it. There was a bad thing though, the earth is flat not round, other than that good ep. |
 |
| 5/5 This is my favorite episode from this anime, hilarious and the pacing is perfect. Since we have 5 episodes left, I hope they will at least stay 3-4 episodes in the Arctic and have an episode or a ride back home... something like that. |
 |
| The girls being sea sick was really funny to watch tho all of them getting sea sick was unexpected. I have to say the part with the huge waves was nice as well, i wan't to be in a ship with such was as well sometime just for the experience. I think it would be nice. And the moment they went outside, guess they have to do more laundry. |
| Another excellent episode. Loved that opening shot, can't wait to see them recreate it on Antarctica. Shirase is still hilariously bad in front of a camera and the training was also funny. Bit dangerous to go out in those waves, but the look of wonder on their faces was great. As was the insert song, One Step, which is on the ED CD. Talking of: vicexxv said: Definitely AOTS. Late watching since my pre-ordered cd of opening and ending came earlier and I was playing it the entire time and I forgot the time of the airing LOL At first I was like how?, mine haven't even shipped (due out tomorrow), then I checked your location and then I was like "oh, that's how" and then I was like cool 😎 |
| Hands down best episode of the season. Funny throughout, and the ending makes me look forward to next week even more! |
 |
| So much to say... -The episode started high with the ship leaving. I felt that moment to be very moving, we've been accompanying these girls throughout all the trouble and it felt very rewarding to see they made it, almost like it were us who departed. -It's really starting to feel like an adventure now, that motivation moment in the cabin and then going out in the storm (despite that would be incredibly stupid in real life) were glorious. -Needless to say, but I can't help being amazed at how astounding the colors and animation are. THAT GLITTERING SEA. -Looks like Shirase isn't that responsible after all. First was Hinata's passport, then the laundry... She better be more focused in Antarctica. -Post-credits scene announces another feel episode upcoming. Shirase will have to come to terms with the reality about her mother :'( -With 5 episodes left, more than ever I wish this was a 2-cour series. The journey to Antarctica was certainly worth it, but the time there will feel short. |

| It was funny to watch the girls experience for the first on how life is on a huge boat. They have finally arrived at their destination. |
 |
| Another great episode. The part where Shirase was doing sit-ups was amazing |
| The key to a good anime is how, by the end of each episode, it makes you want to watch the next episode. The more anxious you are when it makes you wait, the better. This law is true to every genre, even to iyashikei sol. 8 episodes, never a single second Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho manages to make me bored. Each and every second invokes me, repays me tens and tens of what I have invested as a watcher: time, internet quota, staying up late night, but most importantly attention and emotion. AOTS. Now I only pray it can land a solid end... or a Season 2. |
| Between the exercise and sea sick scenes this episode was hilarious. |
 |
| Mystery solved indeed. I love the fact that they actually explain the unusual look of someone in a show with something reasonable (and funny to boot). I've been outside on a ferry in the North Atlantic and it can be pretty scary when you experience the waves and the cold spray constantly hitting everything. They're a very happy go lucky lot laughing like that in the face of the weather. |

| i went on a ship for a week about a month ago so I could totally understand how nasty being seasick is,and also being land sick after wards aha. But yeah beautiful visuals and interesting episode as usual,and when they all opened the door while there was basically a storm outside,it gave me some real bad anxiety (｡-_-｡),i was so uneasy I thought one of then was going to slip through the gaps or something |

| Another amazing episode that, more me, personally tops all the others again. They've been doing great at making episodes that keep getting better and better without anything boring happening. Everything's always fun to watch, and to just see how the girls overcome the hardships they encounter, like seasickness for them this episode. I'm so happy that they're finally going to Antarctica, but at the same time getting a little sad because of those end scenes hinting things and finale falling near. THAT INSERT SONG THOUGH. When they all rushed outside to see the waves I was screaming, I want to get all the songs on CD or anything. They're all just so beautiful and this one especially was very very good. |
| Well, damn, looks like that peeler was a good idea after all... :D No one appreciates Mari's skill in cutting hair. Admittedly, with good reason... Seasickness is a horrifying enemy... Stories of scary degrees. :D And don't forget, the Mountains of Madness are awaiting in Antarctica. Getting better in the end, though, with Mari pulling everyone along this time. |
 |
| Getting on deck in that weather seemed really dangerous. I actually felt the excitement in that scene. I have never been on a ship but I would think they would be prohibited from getting on deck during that time. Anyone has experience with this? |
| Living out at sea is certainly tough, and the girls had a huge dose of seasickness that took them by surprise. Not only are the training exercises are tough, but the excess amount of food are putting them under pressure. So it's really satisfying to see the four of them battle on and overcome their frailties and improve bit by bit. It was ballsy of them to go out into the storm to get a closer look at the huge waves, but it was a really epic scene alright. =) Mari's words near the end of the episode before the edge of Antarctica came into view simply powerful and memorable. Once again, this show really wants to make myself go on an adventure of somekind. Maybe not as ambitious as Antarctica, but as long as the adventure is filled with excitement, beautiful scenery and done with friends, then I couldn't ask for more. =D Overall, this is probably my favourite episode so far. The post-credits scene with the white flowers felt really sombre. I sense a feels-like episode on the horizon soon... |
| This was the only episode so far where I regretted eating lunch and watching at the same time. (Seasick woo hoo) Imagine if one (or more) of them had been thrown overboard during the storm scene. |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| Vacillated between this and Yurucamp, but watching this episode I have realized this is my AOTS. This show is a miracle. The girls are truly alright. On another topic, looks like Shirase's mother is truly a goner, huh? It's not like it was a secret in the first place, it's only Shirase who didn't accept it just yet. The whole expedition might be about finally laying her to rest, even if only symbolically. |

| It's getting a bit silly of how amazing every episode is, I'm shocked every episode of how perfect it is but can't describe it to people I know. |
 |
| Another great episode! Sadly most people are not even watching. =/ |
| They arrived. The adventure they look for is just ahead. Great episode |
 |
| Shirase is still awkward on camera even after all that training... For someone with a weak stomach like myself, I don't like rocking ships or rollercoasters for that matter ... however they played it nicely in this episode. Their faces were priceless. I simply couldn't help but laughing, but reality is hard since I would be exactly the same if I were on that ship! The destination is in sight, can't wait for next week! |

| This show is so amazing and the episodes are so wholesome and nice to watch that it bugs me to say that I actually didn't like this one near as much as the previous, and much worse, that I consider it a step back in terms of the quality progression of the series. Again, this is not something I want to sound too negative because the episode is still a very good experience and I love almost everything about it, heck, even the third act where most of my issues come from is still good and lovely and I would probably not be complaining at all if it wasn't a series I'm loving so much and I see so much potential for yet. My main issue with this show, since its very beginning, is the music. It's not exactly that it sounds bad. The pieces are fine and all. But the show has had some relatively major problems meshing them rightly with the aesthetic and mood of the scenes. In this episode there are two big sequences where the inserted song seems to go its own way instead of accompanying the action. I know this is subjetive and not everybody is going to agree with this but I guess I don't manage to find its use of tracks organic enough. And it bugs me mainly because, despite it's been there as a flaw to me for a while, lately it seemed to have improved greatly, and the last episode was even remarkably amazing at it. Another thing that bugged me here is Mari. I've come to accept her sort of sugary speeches as a character trait, but again, the episode is trying to tell me that these speeches are genuinely touching and emotional. And since I find them overemphasized, I can't relate. They make those scenes feel rather fake and emotional pandering. This would be a 4/5 to me which even after the negativity of this comment looks kinda low, because I really enjoyed it. Again, the series is amazing and the episode captures its greatness. It just happens to also capture its flaws in a way that, due to context and the progression of the story, I feel magnified to the point they rub me the wrong way. |
Oh_Rusty_Nail said: Getting on deck in that weather seemed really dangerous. I actually felt the excitement in that scene. I have never been on a ship but I would think they would be prohibited from getting on deck during that time. Anyone has experience with this? Yes, normally the crew would prohibite anyone going out there with the storm. The issue is that the girls themselves are part of the crew, and the adults already had their hands full. As for the door itself, I am not familiar with expeditionary ships but due to the nature of the climate they're going to encounter I think they should have some kind of hard-lock system. Could also be that as part of the crew they were taught how to open them, trusting that nobody would be reckless as Kimari XD |
