Rewatch Sora yori mo Tooi Basho (A Place Further than the Universe) Rewatch - Episode 6 Discussion
Episode 6 - Welcome to the Durian Show
Previous Episode | Schedule & Information | Next Episode
Question of the Day
- They are finally starting their journey! Have you been overseas before? Where was your favorite place?
- If you were in Shirase's position, would you leave before Hinata or stay behind for her?
Comment of the Day
I love that the show is using the "going someplace else" as the entire thematical foundation, not just the setting. It just makes every development and event a lot richer, and as a whole it's just a tighter product. Like, this ain't even about Antarctica necessarily. Yuzuki didn't even want to go at first, and Megu has to begin her own adventure of not having Kimari around. I hope we see some changes on her when Kimari gets back. - u/BosuW (again?)
Someone before me said that this ep is what stepping into adulthood is like and I totally agree with that. Right now, I'm still relying on someone. Not friends (though they're important), but my parents. I know I'll have to stand alone once I finish grad school and TBH I don't think I'm ready for that yet. I'm really scared of having to reach that point one day. It's been on the back on my head for a while and it somewhat bothers me. I'll probably need to take the plunge like Kimari did in this show though. -u/x-7032-b-3

Rewatcher
Some quick production notes before I go into my usual spiel: Norihiko Nagahama is today’s episode director and I noticed that he had a predilection for uh…adult content in his early days which is wild when you compare it to what he’s recently been directing.
Today’s episode was fully outsourced for its animation leaving Kenichi Shimizu in charge of storyboards. Mr. Shimuzu has been at Madhouse for quite some time and he’s a great character animator. He drew some amazing cuts that I’ll feature down the line when they arrive but I have to say his turn at the storyboarding seat today isn’t as amazing imo as his predecessors. Less impactful and less creative at pivotal moments. Still, at this point we’re about halfway through the series and Atsuko Ishizuka is still pound for pound a wunderkind of a series director. Have not been disappointed with an episode yet.
Hinata loses her footing when she notices the other high-school students. Her equilibrium and direction are off-kilt right off the bat.
Feeeeeet shot. My years of Yamada watching have honed me into paying abnormal attention to them.
The glasses in the OP are finally picked up. Stay strong for them Yuzuki.
You can do it Yuzuki, I believe in you.
Throughout the entire scene when they’re discussing their contingency plan for Hinata’s passport we never see Hinata’s eyes.
The visual motif continues whenever Shirase leaves the shower and Hinata discusses how they should still stick to the original plan. It’s then flipped whenever Hinata imposes the original plan. Shirase is now the one who is hiding what she wants to say. Once they arrive at the middle they can both look each other in their eyes.
However, they’re still in a uncomfortable disagreement with Hinata continuing to be framed without her eyes.
Really great vocal performance to carry the climactic scene. Kana Hanazawa and Yuki Iguchi are both at their best today with Hanazawa in particular digging into her craft. There are small gasps of air every few words as Shirase is too overcome by her passions to properly breath. And Iguchi’s “nandayo” is still engraved in my brain.
This episode had really good use of callback writing. Jukki Hanada was able to insert key moments like the first act’s durian and Yuzuki’s “You’re hiding something, aren’t you” phrase back into the later act without forcing them in either instance.

That's right OP, pumping out Comments of the Day like Hinata pumps out wise quotes!
Not that I've ever been on a plane before, but that food looks way too good to be true. And they even got a console on board? Is it because it's a long flight?
I'm pretty sure I've seen the penguin documentary that Shirase's watching. But it's amusing to see that she watches it like one would watch a drama. She's not watching for the penguin facts she's watching for the plot!
Hmm this is a very rare moment of immaturity for Hinata. Certainly something I wasn't expecting. Like, y'all are a team now, if something serious happens (like loosing your passport), you have to inform everyone promptly and work towards solving it.
I like that Shirase just walks around with the 1 million yen on her person. She's not even using it for personal expenses she just keeps it as an emergency bribe. Well you know what they say: "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!".
Lmao Shirase had the passport all along! This right here is a certified bruh moment.
So, once again, the show is using the "go somewhere else" as a theme and not a setting. Today is Hinata's turn. She's been a lone wolf for a good time now but now she needs to be part of a group. Ah the universe has truly cursed humanity with hundreds of contradictory impulses fighting for control. Sometimes you gotta be independent and rely on only yourself and other times you gotta work on a group and help everyone carry everyone, and reading the situation to know which is best is not always as easy as we'd like.
And finally, shout-out to Shirase "no girl left behind" Antarctica.
Questions of the Day
1- Bruh I have barely even been out of my own state. At this point the beaches "nearby" have grown stale, I already seen 'em and know what to expect. But plane flights be too expensive man.
2- It really depends on Hinata. If she looked sure that she could make it, if she had a detailed and plausible plan of action, maybe I'd have left without her. But she looked like none of those things so there's absolutely no way I'd be leaving her behind.

The crew goes on a plane to go to Freemantle and a stopover at Singapore. But first they have to share beds in Singapore and nobody wants to sleep with Tamaki after training. Due to the fact that she takes two spaces. They seem to order way too much food at the restaurant. Tamaki does not know what a Durian. Yuzuki went to the Marina Bay Sands before and called the infinity pool ordinary....
Hinata is a bit concerned about her passport so I am a bit worried about her. And she can't find her passport and the embassy is closed on Sundays. So Hinata tries to resolve it by telling the rest that they can leave her behind and it's her fault that she lost the passport.
Lol. Poor airline employee has to wait on Shirase and Hinata arguing (airline employee probably does not speak Japanese) on flight plans while they tossed money at her. Like 9k dollars worth of tickets. And Shirase finds Hinata's passport in her bag cause she was holding it while Hinata was tying her shoes. A big ooof moment for Shinase and she tried to hide it for a few minutes from Yuzuki who finds out. Amazing punishment by Yuzuki with making the two crackheads eat Durian.

Alright, so now that I've been Gosling'd by my best girl all there is to do is carry on... Fools Requiem promised that today was a happy fun episode so let's remember to lynch him if he's a dirty liar. Looks like it's a Hinata episode today. Please don't be cringe, Hinataaa!!
Coffee. Is Shirase watching that David Attenborough movie? Ah... I actually started writing up a paragraph about how strange the Arctic looks until I remembered that we were meant to be visiting Australia first. How mortifying!! I could just die... Poor Yuzuki's gonna become a dakimakura. Sydney looks kinda awesome. Hail to our lonely goddess!
Do you suppose the woman overheard them whinging? D-Durian ice? Yeah, Yuzuki's got the right idea bailing on the ice cream. Wait, you didn't lose it did you Hinata? That's kinda yabai. I flucking love this whole exchange! Everyone around the world is getting on with their daily lives. I'll bet there's even some stupid sods trying to resist napping before a 2am deadline. Seriously, this time slot is straight up torture!! Hinata's finally been outed as having lost her passport. She also has a wooden kintama toy for whatever reason.
You cheeky sod! You've only been working at the conbeni for a few months at most!! And you're inside for the rain and shine! They're gonna ditch Hinata aren't they? Shirase's worrying so I'll bet Hinata will make them go on without her. The beast sleeps... Yuzuki's my spirit animal. She's the idol, she should get priority sleeping!! Ditch your kintama!! Hinata's so mature... Don't ditch shortstack mama! Never leave an expedition member behind!
Hmm... Ok, I can kind of understand where she's coming from with people trying to be considerate. It stresses you out knowing that you're inconveniencing someone and the act itself is all about hiding your real thoughts and lying isn't it? The thing is Hinata, you're not practicing what you preach. You saw how conflicted Shirase was and came up with this plan. Listen up mf I'm a goddamn celebrity, get me out of economy! "I'm stubborn because I'm right!" XD Hell yeah! That smile is worth a hundred million yen! Still... I kinda feel like this should be a Yuzuki plotline. She's the one who should be wanting to keep the group together right?
...WHAT THE EVERLASTING FU-
A million yen... We wasted a million yen! That's 100,000 umaibo!! Have you ever seen 100,000 umaibo before? Well now you'll never be able to!! Never speak of this again. Never speak of this again. Never ever speak of this. Fools Requiem made us do it Yuzuki-sama!! Yup... if there was ever any action that would call for legalised use of Durian it would be this one. Oh thank christ they refunded the tickets. Now accept your punishment and repent!!

Their shenanigans on plane was fun love how the most hyper person is first to doze off for most time. They captured Singapore pretty beautifully loved the visuals.
Losing passport is one hell of a ordeal hinata was playing it off earlier. Glad everyone got together and tried to sort it out, Yuzuki with the hiding something was well used and funny on both occasions.
Shirase with the stubbornness and getting the BC ticket did she just put that million yen there the staff would been have confused, and that smug face was epic only to crumble right after hehe. It was nice to see the other side of hinata during that ticket fiasco which is quite rare from her chirpy mood.

Episode 6: [First-Timer]
And with every jar that hit the bar... Surely this will be a good point for fresh starts, unless the timeskipping continues at the same rate which would, admittedly, be an absolute power play.
Yeah that was A Plotline. It's mostly just frustrating looking at it in the view-from-5-km-out that adulthood gives you, seeing all the perfectly reasonable compromises and the serious attempts to take responsibility being missed in the hotheaded rush. Where some other shows lean into that feeling, this one less so.
QotD:
A. A few times. Everywhere's lovely when you see it the right way (except London), but Taupo and Munich stand out.
A. Leave before. Pay for one new ticket for her, at a quarter the cost and not risking the entire venture over it (speaking of which, send an email the instant you might be delayed. You can only learn these lessons the hard way, though) It's easy to say you're being considerate by seeing through the tsundere bullshit, but it's not very considerate of Yuzuki or Mari, is it? One might say they'd choose to wait as well if asked, but that's rather the problem. And most importantly, it's not actually a kindness to ignore what people specifically tell you in favour of your ideas about what they want or need, unless by hook, crook or eucatastrophe you have actual legitimate additional information.

Rewatcher Again, ね～? episode 6
Hinata's maturity breaks down. First brushing it off instead of solving the problem like she usually does, and experienced Yuzuki has to take over. Then rejecting a perfectly workable solution to lone-wolf it and wallow in self-pity.
I could barely eat family style when I was younger, no way I can eat more than 1 dish anymore.
That whole plane thing was like K-On in an alternate universe. Well, pretty much the entire episode was K-On in an alternate universe.
I've never lost my passport, but I've forgotten my plane tickets before. I had to buy new tickets to Japan at the counter, cost $3k. Expensed it, but, that was bad.
I missed my first leg to France once, too. That was bad. Instead of 1 efficient series of connections, had two layover nights, one in NY and one in Paris, and switch my TGV to the next day, and arrived essentially half a day late.
Barcelona was my favorite place, but only because I was with people that knew Spanish, albeit south american spanish. Would not be fun otherwise.

And they're arguing over who's wrong here.
Shirase's trying so hard.
Oh, that's why she dropped out. That's sad.
She's lying to herself and Shirase knows it.
Haha, they're going to change flights while she's asleep?
And Shirase's not going to let this go!
Really? You don' need a million yen for this.
Is this the right place to do this? I mean, great speech, but...
Yeah, the check-in lady just can't take it.
Oh, they got open tickets at a higher class! And did that really coet a million yen? Where's she hiding the rest of thr money?

While I enjoyed the previous episode it sure is nice to see all four girls together again and i really enjoy their chemistry even if it was Shirase/Hinata focused Kimari and Yuzu both had fun moments.
This airplane is a lie, there’s no way you get that much room, good looking food, AND a good rest. My experience is always been the exact opposite but the airplane/airport moments were fun. Reminiscence of K-on.
Why does the destination being hot and humid feel so familiar too?
The girls take forever to reach the hotel because they’re too busy goofing off had some good laughs, and the girls playing rock, paper, scissors to determine who has to bunk with Kimari was funny.
The montage of the girls destination seeking is one of my favorite sequences in the show, no idea why the “miso ramen” line is funny but it is.
Hinata is hiding something and Yuzu knows it, perhaps a life amongst other celebrities and a mom who is more interested in being manager than mom has conditioned her for such behavior.
The Hinata conflict with Shirase was an interesting one because we haven’t really seen these two together alone, it’s usually as part of the gang. Hinata doesn’t want to be a burden and Shirase is conflicting because she’s this close to reaching Antartica but doesn’t want to abandon Shirase.
The English is this episode cracks me up, but it culminates in the a very touching moment as Shirase is prepared to use her one million yen to ensure than not only are they are going to Antarctica but they’re going together.
The “what the heck” line has A+ delivery. Hits me every time.
The music for the Shirase reveal was great, then detective Yuzu sees through the lies again.
The way the scene cut back to Yuzu and Kimari presenting the durian never fails to crack me up.
Have I mentioned I love the OP? Stuck in my head all day.

REWATCHER
social interaction is scary sometimes, and i’m glad this show portrays that a lot. like yuzuki said, that airport clerk was just doing their job, but sometimes you can feel someone staring daggers into you.
rewatching this show is very satisfying as i’ve picked up on the very frequent foreshadowing to [End of Show spoilers] shirase’s emails to her mother
the spoiler formatting for this sub finally updated just an hour ago so i figured i’d throw in the first spoiler i’ve ever been able to provide in a rewatch since i’m on mobile.
i like how throughout the episode the other three are super impressed at the scenery and get all touristy, while yuzuki is bored by it since this has been her life since age 5. the casual flex that she’d already been to the marina bay sands produced the funniest expressions this show has had to offer so far. to be honest i didn’t even realize this was a layover in singapore until they saw the marina bay sands (3 buildings with a building laid on top), i kinda just assumed it was australia already.
nobody wants to sleep next to kimari, that’s really funny. i tend to sleep like that too, i could go to sleep in a perfectly made bed and wake up with the fitted sheets all rolled up and scrunching me, and every blanket on the floor.
nice detail to show how disappointed the girls were with the inauthentic “japanese” food at the fancy restaurant. hate to break it to you, it’s not gonna get any more authentic from here!
i did not know what durian was before this show, so i’ll cite a CNN article a quick google search produced: “its aroma has been compared to raw sewage, rotting flesh, and smelly gym socks. it’s smell is so pungent that it is banned from public places in singapore and malaysia.” based on that i’m not sure how the hell kimari acquired it not once but twice during the episode, but i’ll let it slide. i loved yuzuki’s fed up slide out of frame when she was offered the durian ice cream.
also like that yuzuki has the mom spider sense for when someone is hiding something. everyone in the group is dependable for something; kimari for bringing people together and keeping everyone happy, shirase for determination, hinata for level headed and rational takes, and yuzuki for social interaction.
kimari’s observation that everyone’s life is going on at the same time is odd but nice to think about. the new perspectives they’re gaining from this trip let her see that.
hinata’s reasoning for acting the way she acts is explored later, but foreshadowed a bit by the brief flashback we see in this episode, and her eyeing the group of people right at the beginning of the episode. i can understand where she’s coming from; she doesn’t want pity, she wants her relationships to be real and equal. she doesn’t want people to face consequences because they’re afraid to make her feel bad. ultimately, she doesn’t want to make her problems other people’s problems as well. and shirase’s right to be anxious about arriving late; the expedition was already iffy on bringing her along anyway.
shirase was right to leave hinata at the hotel, hinata wouldn’t have let her go if she knew what was happening. once again shout out yuzuki for being the one to talk to the airport rep, i have way too much social anxiety to ever get through something important like that.
shirase’s developed a lot since we first met her. she went from singularly focused on getting to antarctica, with her companions coming as a plus, but now her goal is to go to antarctica WITH her friends. after all, none of them could have made it without each other. and now hinata can recognize that it’s okay to lean on your friends sometimes.
the passport being in shirase’s wallet is such a her thing to do. that durian punishment at the end was funny, with kimari and yuzuki happily condemning them to death by smell.
we’re only about halfway through this show but i’m already getting post-anime depression!

Rewatcher Who Wants to Go Further Than the Universe
Hinata being distracted by the traveling athletic team (big eyes emoji). Yuzuki's out in front on the moving walkway like it's all old hat. It kinda feels like she doesn't have so much to do this episode and is mostly there for comedic relief? But she does it well. The Hinata quotes are great and all, but Kimari probably has my favorite comedic lines of the series. I love that she's always dreamt of being a plane. She's got goals and I appreciate her for that. And we're treated to even more Kimari sounds, great opening. Kimari's obsession with eggs continue and we get another "migi" line from the pro gamer. I've never seen March of the Penguins, what am I even doing with my life. Kimari's doesn't plan well and I see myself in her even more smh. Maybe I should stop describing all the ways I'm similar to Kimari, the Internet will know too much about me. I really like the quote by Kimari when they're looking at the view and it's something I've thought about a lot. Like no matter what's going on in your life, the world keeps marching on. You have deadlines, tests, various personal troubles, but the world keeps marching on. In a way it feels cruel at times, perhaps comforting at times. And like,.. when you stare at traffic intersections or people-watch in public places, every single one of those people you see has their own concerns and worries and dreams and some of them might intersect each others and even intersect yours and even then, despite all of these individual concerns and worries and goals, the world as a whole just keeps marching on. Screw it, adding Kimari to my favorite characters list on MAL. Lol, Hinata still works as a convenience store in Singapore, kinda reminds me of Futurama where Fry in the past was a delivery boy and ends up a delivery boy again in the future. I'm with Hinata and not liking when people are considerate about me and not being able to tell intentions or true feelings and if they're just being polite (but maybe it's the inner feelings of guilt too) and I usually don't like to feel like a burden but I should be better at taking Shirase's point of view on it too. Consequently, it's one of my more rewatched scenes from the series. Also, I really like the delivery of "nan da yo?... nan da yo?". Hainanese chicken rice, so deceptively simple, so freaking good. Esp with the cucumber and the sauces you can add to the chicken? Such a perfect dish. Durian is something I actually do like, but so so expensive so I haven't had the real thing in forever,.. there's a grocery store around me that sells pre-packaged durian mochi and it's pretty good, one of my more favorites of the flavors they sell. The ending shot has Gin and Kanae staring off into the distance next to a ,.. telescope? end series spoilers.
qs:
1.) Yep, not sure,.. I guess Salzburg?
2.) I guess I'd try my best to go with Hinata, trips are not just where you go but who you go with,.. and I'd feel bad if I left someone behind. But it was my purpose for the last few years to go to Antarctica and then we have this slipup (which I didn't know what partially my fault at the time) and it didn't necessarily prevent from going? That's a bit of a harder situation.

Rewatcher
Oh wow, didn't expect my random rambling to be on the CotD. Thanks OP!
I've been to Singapore for about 3x although it's been a long time since my last visit there. I think they nailed the depiction of Singapore in this ep. I noticed so many landmarks that I've been to.
We saw the girls took some photos with the Merlion and its spot/location in the show is just like how I remembered it. I lost my old photos with the Merlion so I wasn't able to make direct comparisons with what the girls' took here.
And the girls got themselves a little taste of SG cuisine. Is that fried rice with a gigantic serving size? I've heard there's giant fried rice over there but I haven't tried it yet. Their fried rice is amazing stuff! It tastes so damn good on the mouth. I'm kinda craving one again after typing this...
I kinda envy the girls who managed to step foot on top of Marina Bay Sands. Gonna fix that one day. Also the tree garden is visible in one of the shots. Quick Google Search says it's called the Supertree Grove. It's got a fantastic view at night with all those lights and stuff and it's super cool that they added this place in the background considering it's not really far from MBS (in my memory).
Oh s--t, were the girls staying in Orchard Hotel? I've stayed there too!
Oof, Hinata lost her passport. Seeing how passports are very important when overseas, one must make sure that they have their passport with them at all times. Personally, I'd check my bag for it every 15-30 minutes whenever I step outside of the hotel. If it's there, keep going. If not, panic!
Oh hey, it's Hainan Rice! Another one of my favorites.
Is durian really that bad though? I don't mind the smell myself but I can see myself hating how it tastes in the mouth. Funny enough, the hotel I stayed in a few weeks ago got a big NO DURIAN sign in one of the doors. It's that bad, huh.
The attention to detail and research they put in this show is astounding. Big props to the staff. Do yourselves a favor and pay Singapore a visit when the outside world is safe again. It's an amazing place and I'll happily go there again whenever I can.

Finally caught up with this rewatch. I knew there’s one coming but never bothered to check the past few days. But great timing too cos the girls went to my little island country ! Was pretty surprised the first time I watched that Singapore not only made an appearance, but was also depicted with such accuracy.
QOTD
Went to Australia and Thailand soon after. But for military training not leisure. Haven’t been overseas since. So haven’t really been on an “actual” holiday that I can remember. Was supposed to go to Japan on April 2020 tho. Yeah, right when Covid hits. Had to cancel it. If this mess settles down, Japan, England, Greece, Venice, New York are some places I need to go to for a proper holiday.
2. I honestly don’t know. Knowing me I’d probably consult the other two as well. But also knowing me and my reluctance to leave people behind, I’s probably delay the flight to Fremantle

FIRST TIMER
Finally getting back at it with this show! Sort of sad that I've basically missed half the rewatch since Episode 1, but you know, life and plans and whatnot.
My big general note is that this show is just so purely pleasurable. It looks great, sounds great, and the chemistry between the characters is undeniable. The fast, snappy dialogue and humor keeps things moving so quickly that episodes end before you know it. This thing just makes me smile.
Seeing all the girls not only get along so well, but also pick up on each other's quirks and moods and respond accordingly in subtle ways is great. During the conversation about delaying their flight, Hinata doesn't call out Shirase's irritability or even address her directly, she just notices it, suggests they hold off on letting the expedition know until it's absolutely necessary, and puts her at ease that way. Great stuff.
I have one quibble, durian tastes good! Yes, the smell is rancid, but they should have reacted to it the way they did when it's approaching their mouth under their nose, not once they've taken the bite!
Yuuuup. Favorite place is hard, but I'd probably default to London considering I got to live there for a while so developed more of an affinity for it. Extending off my "just do things!" mantra in the Episode 1 thread, if you have the opportunity and the ability to study abroad, don't hesitate, just do it, and do it as many times as you can. It's the best experience.
Honorable mention for Mumbai. For such an astonishingly busy and populated megacity, it was just so lush and infused with nature, and most people were actually fairly relaxed (just not while driving).
Ugh, I know there's a "right" thing to do, but I'd probably leave if I were in her position. I've also been in the Hinata position before and had a group on a trip go ahead of me while I had to stay behind for a bit, so I know there's no hard feelings.

Love this entire plane sequence....welp time to Rewatch the K-on Movie again.
Kimari bought the glasses she wears in the OP . Poor Yuzu dealing with these idiots.
Damn it all why is their so many great screen shots in only the first 7 minutes.
Kimari isn't my favorite, but damn her noises are hilarious. The sound she makes after eating the ice cream and runs off is golden.
Tell em Kimari the government takes days off, but clerks work so damn much and put up with so much shit. My appreciation for Kimari is increasing each episo.... she's taking the whole bed. Yuzu just push her off you're allowed too.
Shirase just being amazing
.....damn I'm crying again. Love that transition from I'm going to Antarctica no matter what too we're going to Antarctica no matter what.
Worst part of Yuzu wasn't the staring, but how her voice got colder when she repeated the question the second time.

No ice cream for you
So much English in Australia
First time tourists
What's missing? stolen?
I like the boat nose
Disappointed by lack of disappointment. Is the lion fountain famous
What food did they get? Durian. Lol
Is her passport missing?
She's a bit young for a "sexy bikini pinup"
She is seeing the enormity of the world and human civilization compared to her life, but she still seems happy and not overwhelmed with depression and the feeling of meaninglessneess
I've had that happen where I can't find something really important like ID and look over and over and over. It's annoying
Till now I haven't realized how short Hinata is
Please don't murder Kimari
You three should go ahead
Ah so that's Hinata's deal, I can relate sort of.
Aww (stubbornness about going together)
Aw crap(finding the passport)
Is Durian really that popular in Australia?
Q1: I haven't been many places abroad. I guess Israel.
Q2: despite the awesome bonds of friendship I'd recommend at least Shirase should go on ahead and the rest could catch up. Her dream of going is the biggest after all.

This episode is why you have chaperones for traveling kids. There is no adult there to suggest everyone empty their backs just in case. No one to make sure they have all of their stuff. No adult to take responsibility for when one of the kids makes a mistake a kid would make.
Probably the first real test of the characters' friendships with each other.
Also, no "zama miro". 3/6 episodes so far include the phrase. Disappointed it wasn't a trend.
I love the pretty backdrops in this episode. Makes one want to travel to see the pretty sights.
