A really wonderful series' finale. I love how everyone went out and even got on those ice vechicles so they could explore Antarctica more properly. Nice to see penguins as what you would expect there too.

The girls really looked like they enjoyed themselves and had fun on this trip. Also, Shirase with the haircut change! I feel like it's a nice way for her to reinvent herself including a bit of physical appearance.

Personally, I really enjoyed this show for what it is and the way it ended impressed me more than enough.

It's A Really Good Finale And The One Step Soundtrack Had A Pretty Good Match With The Scenes And Another Poster of them made By Other Members of The Group :o
Also, it's good They Added All The Soundtrack In The Last Episode Matching The Scenes And At Last, They Seen The Aurora.


Best Anime For me For Winter 2018 And 10/10

Good Luck With Their Another Journey!

End.

Very good show, personal fav from the previous season, really liked the characters, the "adventure" part, the whole thing to go to antarctica was just great. We need more original shows like this one. Glad that the last message from Takako found its destination in the end.

And at last the fun journey of the four girls come to an end. Having ice from here must be an interesting experience since its so pure. Wow to think that the thing that they all agreed on was a baseball game with the others though. The flag that was made to send the girls off really was well made. Shirase's new haircut looks good on her. Her farewell speech really was well thought out and a powerful one. The farewell scenes though were so entertaining though. Its nice that they were able to finally see the aurora. A beautiful end to the series and an excellent episode. Megumi being inspired by Mari to go to the arctic though was pretty unexpected.

I can't think of any flaws.

Characterization was great
Plot was simple but done right.
Drama was done right. No boring moments.
Very good ending

This is a 10/10 for me. Let's see if it holds after a second watch later.

I don't think any anime made in the past 5 years got a 10/10 from me. I was blessed with a very strong season with Yuru Camp and this jewel.

My Tuesday evenings will never be the same. Personally speaking, this is the anime that I care about the most from this season, and I'm sad to see this end.

When it comes to adventure stories, this has been my favorite so far, because it feels so realistic. The friendship they shared is amazingly strong, and the 4 of them were the first high school girls to ever experience life surrounded by nothing but white snow. It was an incredibly unforgettable experience and they'd love to be back again in Antarctica together.

I'm pretty sure they will still see each other again now that they've returned to Japan. Back to their usual daily lives, and proud to be young visitors of Antarctica. And to Kimari's surprise, her friend Megumi had an adventure of her own in the Arctic. Ahaha, what a surprise! :D

I teared up a bit because of the fact that this is the last episode of this amazingly breathtaking series, and I'm gonna miss Kimari, Shirase, Yuzuki, and Hinata. They are just so fun to see together! So long! I hope I could see you girls again in a brand new adventure! >.<

Take my score of 10! You deserve it! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧ This anime is a blessing and truly will be an unforgettable one. Shirase looks great too with her new haircut. <3

Fantastic finale, I was grinning the whole time.

The ice operation was fun.
Shirase and her reaction to penguins are just pure gold. XD

Antarctic baseball!!!
No!! Shirase!! Why'd you cut your hair? T.T

The farewell speech from both Gin and Shirase was beautiful, I got pretty emotional too. Antarctica is a place where you'v got no choice but to overcome your hurdles with everything you've got.
A Place further than the Universe can't exist unless you overcome the Universe after all.

I love how they played all the insert songs in the finale.
The Aurora was beautiful and that final ,message from Shirase's Mom. <3

Goddamn, she left the million yen back in Antarctica. I couldn't stop grinning when Shirase said that. xD

Overall, absolutely fantastic. To be honest, I never expected a show I started just because I liked the seiyuu cast so much to become my favorite show of this season. This show was just fantastic in every sense of the word, lovable characters, fantastic writing, a simple but very well executed plot, lovely art, brilliant soundtrack and the most important thing of all, heart, the show had a lot of heart in it and that's what makes it so charming and compelling. The show excels in what it tries to convey regarding adventure, making the most of your life, finding yourself and your passions, never giving up, growing up, friendship and most importantly overcoming difficulties to reach your goal. The lively and optimistic atmosphere gives the show a real motivational vibe to it and that's exactly the kinda thing I love. In a sense, what the show tries to convey, the style of writing and the charm it has is very reminiscent of Love Live and that alone lets it score huge huge points with me and besides I'm just a sucker for a good coming of age story anyway.
Huge props to Madhouse as well for giving us this, they got it right.

I feel the last few lines of the show describe it the best,
"When you go on a journey, there are things you learn for the first time.
'That this scenery is indispensable.'
'That people change, the world changes, even when you're not looking.'
'That there's no such this as a 'nothing' day.'
'That your house has it's own smell.'
'If you want to learn those things, you've gotta get moving. Then just keep moving until you see something you've never seen before.'
'No matter how far you go, the world is big, you'll definitely find something new.'
'It's a little scary, but I know you can do it.'
'Because people who feel the same way will find you right away.'"


10/10 , 'We'll go on another journey someday'
Truly one of the most charming shows I've seen till date.

So glad I stayed up to watch this despite having an exam (ANIME IS LIFE, DON'T JUDGE ME!) It's a nice ending to this, lol at the last scene post credits... seems like the 'break up' was merely her way of coping, it was hilarious to see she's now in the Arctic :D and we finally got to see what Shirase's mom wrote!!!! Aurora lights! what an amazing find!!! This anime has it all, and I'm glad and happy... best anime for this year I would say, (as of right now, anyways). Lol'd hard at Kimari offering to cut Shirase's hair hahaha !!!

Wonderful end for an amazing adventure,personally I think this was the biggest surprise of Winter 18.

The premise already suggested that this wouldn't be your ordinary cute girls series, but this exceeded all my expectations. The adventure theme, along with the development for the cast and the well handled drama made made this a very memorable experience. Comedywise it certainly delivered too.

Technical aspects as art,soundtracks and atmosphere were also great. And the ED song was easily my favorite this season(with Gintamas).

It's been a while since Madhouse brought us such a good anime.

8,5/10

Unbelievable show!!! 10/10. As i was starting to tear up after seeing that big ass smile from Shirase and then again when she got the picture text, I then started thinking about the show on a personal level and started balling when I realized how it felt when it truly hit Gin and Shirase that its 100% confirmed Takako is gone. I know for a fact, even if I had 100 friends, I would've went off the deep end in depression, especially if like her my dad wasnt in my life either. What a strong bunch of girls.

Truly a 10/10 show. I got to experience a journey for the last few months that I will truly treasure.

This was an amazing show. Definitely AOTS for me and very strong candidate for AOTY too. Awesome characters, good soundtrack, art and animation was excellent too. And pacing didn't feel rushed or anything which was surprising for a 13 episode series.

Can't give this anything lower than 10/10.

Anime of the year? Nope. Dont think so. This is THE BEST ANIME I've seen in my life. And that's a lot coming from a 35 year old otaku. The art, the story, the pacing, the soundtrack, the seiyuus, the details, the characters. Dammit what magic did Madhouse use to make it this good? I can't even find a single flaw in this anime. I thought perfect anime don't exist. But here it is now.

Hoping for a movie next. Dont care if it just a recap movie. Since it's still gonna be top tier quality. Gonna re watch the entire season this weekend.

Will do, but don't get your hopes up. I'll probably relate more to a group of teenage autistic dorks achieving something than to a mature protagonist achieving something.

Excellent show. Wrapped things up pretty nicely and, honestly, when I started watching this I noticed the great technical aspects and characterization, but I didn't expect that it would make me cry. Honestly, I expect media in general to not make cry, but this managed to do it. However, this series' second third is a bit weaker than the first and last third.

also, kimari's friend in the artic, priceless

It's always good to see an anime actually end its story.

Probably the most "feel good" and the best anime of the season for me. I especially liked the interactions and chemistry between the girls, which is the best I've seen since K-On.
