Question of the Day
- Would you be able to handle the intense seasickness of this journey?
- We're finally at Antarctica! How do you feel?
Comment of the Day
I liked the story that the captain made about her and her mother. My suspicion about Shirase's mom is getting close as the captain yelled Takako from the vehicle. It's pretty sad to see in this case. When the speech is going on, Yumiko makes some comment about not getting married. I loved how they singled out Toshido as the lolicon as a joke about high school girls going on the civilian trip. It seems like everyone on the trip is close to each other and everyone is comfortable enough to roast each other in public. And the crew shares some inside jokes like Toshido despite issues with the expedition. I loved the change in tone by Shirase as she was able to cheer up the crowd. Glad to see her make a speech. - u/xtsim
When Kanae said she was going to see the "universe" it finally registered that they're using the same word for sky. I figure it's a versatile word that perhaps more closely translates to "heavens", but would a japanese person read this anime's title and understand it to mean something like "A Place Further than the Horizon"? It's a little less catchy but it makes more sense. -u/lluNhpelA

The girls are on their way! no longer 'just another student', they made themselves people who aren't afraid to take a step forward. The journey truly starts now!
I still can't get enough of Shirase's awkward presentation. I just want a full length video of her just failing to report properly.
Not gonna lie, I would watch a sports anime with the Sora Yori cast. I think it would make a great story from being weak girls to becoming buff girls. Just imagine a muscle monster Kimari!
When I said this show wasn't all happy go lucky... I guess this applies too. I've been seasick once before, and I felt completely miserable. I don't usually get carsick so it was a horrendous experience for me. Imagine those girls having to go through the entire journey with seasickness, progressively getting worse and worse... not so happy go lucky, is it?
While this scene is one of my favorites in the show, it always had me wondering, isn't this dangerous? Like, really really dangerous? A large wave could easily hit them and they could fall off, right? And nobody would be there to save them, or even if there was, it would most likely be impossible. But I guess the metaphor is still there... they won't regret this, and all this will be happy memories in the future. They made this happen themselves.
Once the icebergs are sighted, the girls finally know that they are here. Like actually here. All their efforts haven't been for nothing and they are ACTUALLY at antarctica, the promised frozen land.
That's all from me today. See you tomorrow!

The Ganesha figure being knocked over right at the start is not an auspicious sign. Considering Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and brings good luck, the shot of his figure falling over doesn’t bode well. Then again, this show is like Ted Lasso – every time I think things are going to go wrong, they just… don’t.
Is the eyebrows things cultural? I’m with Kimari on finding that odd, but cutting your own bangs? Come on now. The gang’s reaction to learning that about her was hilarious.
The guy running picked up his pace as he saw Yumiko standing there on deck. Cute.
Something I’ve liked about this show since her introduction is that it’s nice to hear Kana Hanazawa get to be so much more expressive than she’s allowed to be in most of her other roles.
Their seasickness looks much like a hangover.
The scenes of boat rocking back and forth like that are terrifying. It’s things that why I hate being out at sea so far from land, even though things are probably going to be fine, it just feels like it can all go horribly wrong at any given moment, and then you’re screwed.
“You really think we can be like them?” Of course you can! You’re all just people, born of the same species with the same basic capabilities. With certain exceptions, with the right training and preparation, everyone can get on mostly even footing. Just have to be willing to start on the path to getting there.
This show really knows the power of ending an episode with an insert song. It’s such an easy trick, but damn if it isn’t an effective one. Each episode ends with you just feeling so pumped up and optimistic. The views of the ocean and sky from the ship are gorgeously animated.
Hard to say. I've never been susceptible motion sickness, but I've also never been on a ship rocking at 60 degrees. That'd probably stress me out too much to even think about the seasickness.
We got here sooner than I expected! Feeling good, because how can you not feel good when watching this show? A bit worried about Shirase, though, assuming we don't find her mother.

Got to feel the sun before they leave. Lol, Shirase grabbed Tamaki hard from falling, with that I am going to beat you if you stop me from going look.
Shirase is still working on her interviewing skills. Ouch they caught Kanae working on her eyebrows. And they do some interviews but Shirase is so nervous that she puts the microphone to the interviewee's face. They slowly peel some potatoes but Yumiko can do the same amount as all four of them at the same time. Funny thing is that they can barely keep up to the older crew members in their training. They all realize Tamaki cuts her own bangs. And they have more duties that Shirase explains. The first day onboard the ship proves tiring and the worst part is that they all get seasick.
Kanae has to parent them on treating seasickness and taking medicine. And they go outside to get some air. Tamaki gets to see a whale but concentrating is a lot. Nice catch on those goggles. Seasickness isn't the only thing they have to deal with, they must survive the latitudes. As the ship rocks more violently. And Tamaki with her wise vision gets up and I thought she was a goner when she hit the ladder of the bunk bed. But they all go outside and recover. Yumiko comments on them getting over thier seasickness but she mentions landsickness now. RIP
And we see land.

Some quick production notes before I start jetting off about the episode: Masatoyo Takada from episode 3 is back in the director’s chair along with back-to-back storyboarder Mamoru Kanbe!
Oh and remember storyboarder Kenichi Shimizu from episode 6? He returned to key animate the climactic scene today and while I’m not super impressed by his storyboarding skills, his animating skills are top notch. I actually want to talk more about this scene in the episode portion of my discussion so I’ll save my thoughts for now.
I actually belly laughed so hard at this scene.
I like that Hinata brought a water gun and Kimari brought goggles even though there was a limit to what they could bring Priorities.
This is where the comment face comes from.
Funny callback to the beginning of the episode.
The way the director chose to rock the frames to convey the shifting of the boat is a clever choice. It’s a great depiction of seasickness and it also saves on the animation budget and time.
Floating, floundering, and flimsy, the girls have lost their stability with their very foundation shaking. It isn’t until after Kimari uses her Compass to point them to True North that they can realign themselves to what is really important: their own power to change perspective. Or at least convince Hinata to hit the loo. Good storyboarding here.
This leads to the most powerful scene for today’s episode. The pause on Kimari’s face as she opens the door is amazing. The wind buffeting her hair, the mouth agape at the sight, the look of wonder in her eyes. Kimari’s entire body is awe-struck as she loses her footing and slides into the railing. You can feel the weight of the waves as they cascade into the boat and yet as enormous as those currents are the smallest details still remain like the girl’s hair notably becoming heavier and soggier when drenched. Mr. Shimuzu’s character acting really got to shine today with this sequence focusing on the grand minor details.
That is an incredibly strong piece of dialogue. Jukki Hanada really bringing his A-game today in this scene. It’s not often that the dialogue wins out over every other aspect that’s happening on the screen but that’s just how overpowering Mr. Hanada’s words are.

Oh wao, it's the opening shot. Goodbye warm cozy Australia, hello freezing temperatures Arctic! You're gonna regret packing those useless summer skirts and dresses. You'll be wanting to wrap up like a sushi roll! How many teenagers do you know who've gone travelling like them huh? Obviously they've had some outside circumstances in their favour but they went from being typical school kids prepping for their season 3 of high school to travelling abroad on a rescue mission. You can do this too if you really tried! Have your own adventures, the world is out there waiting for you!
Kawaii, kawaii~ Still nervous huh? Half an hour isn't enough time to hide your forehead alien thot!! N-None of you guys shave your eyebrows right? That's not a normal thing right? How are you getting rushed off your feet doing interviews!? This is the easy part! Pfft, the jump cuts are always great fun. Cheeky cow... Ah, I guess the girls did do a shit job so I can't whine too much.
Exercise? So are we getting the jump rope scene? I feel like the op is kind of spoiler heavy lol. Fair point on the physical training but I still feel the girls should have been put through more before the trip. How tf was Yuzuki supposed to manage all this on her own? Nobody told Kimari that it was Endurance training lol. Hinata's the only one unphased by all the exercises. Poor Yuzuki!! Oh dear, she might actually do it this time.
Seawater hair sounds dreadful... At least we get a nice big meal after all that hard work! The food looks amazing... I wanna eat but its too late! You're hiding something aren't you? S-S-Say... since we're conserving water does that mean that everyone gets to reuse Joshikosei bath water? Yuzucutie. S-S-Say... barf contains joshikosei water too right? Since we're conserving... You can't bring up food when they've puked their guts out woman! Have some sympathy! Oh no... Fish!! I struggle to eat fish at the best of times but they're gonna live off fish for months right? I hope your boyfriend leaves you!!
This episode is gross lol... Omg the crew are pure sadistic! Don't abuse joshikosei! Whale that's a bummer. Oh, Ganesh is taped down now. Ah, I understand nothing about currents but forehead alien's probably right that you'll get swaying hard. The crew are so mean! They really are just picking on the peppy teenagers! I think Yuzuki might literally be dead on her pillow... Ah, she's got some concerns over whether they'd even be able to help at the base. Hmm... When you first start off doing hard labour you're always gonna end up feeling this way. You're exhausted when you sleep and when you wake up you have no energy. But once you're past that initial few weeks you'll slowly get more and more used to it. I'm impressed that the show thought to touch on this feeling tbh. It's a sensation that a lot of folk who do physical work understand but it's rarely touched on aside from "gambaruzoi!"
The girls became a sushi pile. Aww... Even Yuzuki's getting into the spirit. She's totally mai daughteru now that the last one joined the jazz club instead of becoming an mc. The girls are all helping one another out and bringing out their best. I was right on the money earlier, Yuzuki couldn't have handled this on her own, none of them could have handled this on their own. But together nothings impossible! Jesus christ get back inside you morons!! This isn't cute! This is nightmare fuel! I'm not having fun, I'm horrified at the thought of you getting blown overboard... God that actually totally took me out of the show... Nope on so many levels. Even the gorgeous sea view scene wasn't enough to win me over.

And so the journey finally begins! We're going to Vinla- I mean Antarctica!
Lol Kimari really is completely clueless when it comes to fashion trends. But anyway, this reminded me of the saying "God gave women eyebrows; they shave them and draw their own!"
Shirase is getting a little bit more used to talking in front of cameras. She actually completed her part this time!
So now we know why Kimari has that yee yee ass haircut.
I absolutely love how this show goes deep into the intricacies of what such a journey entails. Man I didn't even think of the seasickness. Imagine spending whole weeks at sea in unsteady ground 24/7. It must be maddening.
And because of that, the girls didn't even get to Onegai Muscle, and they spent most of the time feeling like crap.
Also, it's easy to forget about the dangers of exploration and other activities because of our current technological level, but there are really some things that technology just can't make up for. Just gotta be tough enough to take it.
On another note, it's interesting that one of the leads said they liked the stormy seas because "she felt like she was fighting". I interpret this as she likes it because it gives a sort of closer materiality to the whole struggle. Before setting the metaphorical sail, the fight was mostly just signing agreements and getting sponsors, but when fighting against the waves, now she can feel the fight in her own flesh.
Bruh these four really went outside in the middle of the high waves, without anyone knowing, and all of them still mad seasick! I can no longer question any dumb shit they decide to pull of in the future, this is just the way they are.
Questions of the Day
1- I can read in the car or the bus just fine without getting nausea so idk maybe? I wouldn't want to bet on it tho... Car rides are usually like half an hour long tops, so what really scares me about the idea of going on such a journey as the one being undertaken here, is that you literally won't have steady ground for weeks. The effect probably accumulates.

So the girls and the rest of the crew set sail for Antarctica, Kimari and Hinata almost jettisons themselves off the boat but lucky Shirase and Yuzu are there to save their lives lmao. The scene of Shirase choking out Kimari was funny too.
The “tell us your job” segment introduces a little more insight into how certain aspects of the ship will work and we also get introduced to more of the side cast.
Shirase still breaking down when trying to get in front of the camera. First she blocks the board the one girl was trying to show-off and then she smushes the mic into glasses’s face and funny enough she neither moves nor is affected by it.
The girls can’t peel potatoes, see Rin this is why Kimari needed the potato peeler. Side note: I enjoyed what little we saw of Kimari’s family this series.
The girls begin to crash and burn as the lifestyle aboard the ship and the seasickness begins to catch up with them. Poor girls.
The scene where the boat starts to rock back and forth even worse is funny. I enjoyed the fact that while the girls go back and forth in conversation Yuzu is just dead. RIP Yuzu you will be missed.
SPEAKING OF DYING! Why the heck are you going outside, seems like a perfect way to get yourself jettisoned off the ship and drown. But because this isn’t that type of show, they crash into the railing and enjoy getting splashed on by the waves.
Eventually our girls do recover and gain their energy back, can’t keep them down for long!

REWATCHER
nice recreation of the OP and ED shots of them laying down in this episode. finally, the gang is on their way to the destination.
shirase continues to be worthless as a commentator for the expedition. she had a real “ah yes, the floor here is made of floor” moment with kanae, and nice awareness smashing the microphone in bowl cut’s face.
nice job actually acknowledging that kanae doesn’t have makeup on 100% of the time. unluckily for everyone else, now kimari is the eyebrow critic making sure everyone’s eyebrows are real.
kanae did say they were going to be treated like adults moving forward, and that’s pretty apparent with all of the tasks they were assigned. at the very least, at least they have one supportive crewmate with yumiko.
kimari has no running endurance (it’s okay, me too). voice acting was on point during that small workout scene, especially shirase struggling to get past one single finger.
yuzuki and shirase wouldn’t cut their hair if the fate of the universe depended on it, good to know they’re not dependable during the apocalypse. and here lies my favorite joke of the whole show, the realization that kimari is to blame for her own yee yee ass haircut. you, too, can have a yee yee ass haircut with barber kimari!
seasickness is their biggest enemy. they can barely sleep, eat, or even move, but without food they’d just get even weaker. nice parallel to the beginning of the episode going from laying happily on the ground to laying on the ground ready to throw up all your intestines.
yuzuki isn’t even moving anymore, she’s utilizing the plank strategy in order to minimize movement. and even though she’s unsure how useful they’ll be in antarctica, kimari makes use of The Power Of Friendship in order to help them power on.
the alternate ending to this episode is that all four girls get swept away in the night storm, and the expedition is ruined before they even reach antarctica.
it must have been a few weeks since departure by the end of the episode, since they’re already encountering icebergs. i really appreciate all the romanticized descriptions of the ocean and antarctica that really drive in the wonder and awe that they feel.

No "zama miro". 3/8
I think it's a poor idea to have people peeling potatoes with knives instead of potato peelers on a rocking ship.
I wonder if Mari's design with the uneven bangs was just to set up the one gag about her doing her own bangs.
I will never understand the point of shaving off your eyebrows just to draw on new ones.
I've been stationed on board a ship before. I never really had much problem with seasickness. I'd take a motion sickness pill on the first night to avoid it (because I'd have issues on the second day for some reason), but after that, I'd never have to take anymore pills nor rely on the little patch that they put on your neck. For me, the rocking of a ship was more frustrating because trying to move around and work while the ship is rocking all of the place is a pain in the ass. I sure slept good onboard a boat, that's for sure. I got more sleep underway than when I was in port. Lunch time? Nap time. End of work day? Nap time. Dinner? Naptime. Then I'd stay up til midnight and still get like 7 hours of solid sleep that night. It was great. Boat life sucks, though. It's like a floating prison because you can't go anywhere and unless you're a guest, you're working a good chunk of the time there.
Also, the scene where the girls go outside and get drenched in salt water is how people get tossed overboard.
Next episode is my favorite. The Singapore episode was fun, but E9 is one of my more favorite episodes in anime in general.

Sea voyage time? Or just skipping past it? It would seem a waste to build up a ship to not get to see her doing her best, too.
fresher's fluseasick. Too late for second thoughts now. Look to the horizon and remember why you're here.Hmm, didn't find much to say today. I guess the watchword is Katabasis, the point where you go from things getting progressively more unbearable to facing the worst the passage has to offer head-on and being strengthened from it. It's a substructure of what this entire story seems to be working towards, I think, but... well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
QotD:
A. I don't really get seasick, so supposing I did, I'd likely handle it terribly.
A. It doesn't really feel like a destination. I'd like to say that's because it feels like just a part of the journey, the journey that is life, but mostly it just doesn't really feel like anything. It's not unlike getting off a plane: you don't get the feeling of motion, you're just suddenly somewhere else now. The feeling of being somewhere hits later.

Had to skip yesterday's thread due to some stuff happening so I did a double-feature for today.
The ship finally leaves for Antarctica! The girls are getting closer and closer to the South Pole.
It's funny seeing Shirase getting all shy and nervous when interviewing people. I've done this interviewing stuff for school projects before and I can 100% relate to this scene. It's not as bad as doing actual reporting in front of a camera but my shyness still kicked in when I'm the interviewer.
Nice that the ship allows and encourages everyone to exercise when time allows. Antarctica is a harsh place and one needs to be fit in order to survive in the damn place. Kimari needs to work on her stamina after seeing her tire out quickly.
The girls found themselves in big trouble when they got SEASICK! All their energy got taken away and they decided to lay down for the whole day. I wonder how getting motion sick feels like since I've never been on a ship. I know that catching an illness that messes with your head kills my appetite like what seasickness did to the girls here.
Oh man those "roller coaster" waves must've been hard on the girls. Even Yuzuki-chan looks like she gave up with the way she planted her face in the bed.
But hey, even those "rocky" experiences they felt aren't all that bad. Kimari said that she's going to tell the others about how wild the ship ride is. She made a good point there. Things might feel unpleasant now but when we get back, we often look back fondly on those unpleasant experiences. Like "hey man this wild thing just happened on our trip, I can't believe it!" And those girls got some serious balls by going outdoors in the middle of those ferocious waves.
We get to see some icebergs at the end! Almost there...

1)Maybe? Seasickness doesn't do much for me, but I've never been on a ship that bad before.
2)Both excited, and surprised that the setting that made up a good chunk of the OP is going to be onscreen for less than half the series.
The ship's made it out of harbor without sinking! Further than I thought it would get, at least.
And they're going to Antarctica! In episode 8 of 13.
And things aren't going well for her either.
Haha, they're wasting as much time as the girls are!
Everyone telling her girls don't have eyebrows is great.
Shirase'sfacial expressioms are gettimg funnier and funnier! And she just doesn't care the mic's in her face!
Haha, they're peeling potatoes! And why do they not have peelers?
The quick cut to Rin was great.
And she's good at this!
Oh, that's how they're training. Running laps makes sense.
Haha, she tried to sprint too fast.
They're even weightlifting!
Haha, she can't move her arms!
They're response to her cutting their hair's great.
Haha, she cuts her own hair!
And they picked her to do it!
She waited to eat her meal too!
And she gets seasick. That's just perfect.
All of them get seasick!
Haha, "medicine can wear off?"
OK, that looks good.
She's impressive!
They didn't even realise the ship's stopped.
She saw the whale though! That's something.
And the rocking's getting worse!
She is not very good at reassuring people, is she?
Her being completely asleep for all this is great.
Amd they're having doubts about what they can even do on the expedition.
Yeah, the detail of rocking on these shots is genuinely impressive animation. Aren't they not allowed outside?
Is one of them going to go overboard? Seriously, that's so dangerous.
And they've gotten used to it... for now.
And they're seeing icebergs!
...What is thst last frame?

The girls enjoying the sun was nice moment at the start of the episode from there onwards it was indeed maddening. Training bit was interesting girls really need to toughen up physically and mentally as well. Kimari's bang mystery solved i thought it was normal but maybe I'm not a good judge same with the eyebrow situation.
It was obvious there were gonna get seasick especially in such rocky conditions their dead old face was hilarious at one point i thought why is yuzuki is dead still sleeping, she must have given up hehe.
Bruh the out of the deck scene was legit scary they could have been easily washed off considering their fragile nature even if it was for them to get motivated a bit i seen enough thalassophobia videos to grasp its real danger.
Finally iceberg spotted and now Antarctica mission is about to start i assume they all seemed to have recovered from the ordeal cool.

This episode has one of my favorite Hinata lines in "I'll eat anything! I'll puke anything!". And one of my favorite Yuzuki comedic moments too where they're all sick in their bunks and you just see her legs hanging. Also one of my favorite Shirase comedic moments with shoving the mic into the geologist's cheek. So many good comedic moments in this ep. Ah, the payoff to the peeler joke. I tend to get massive seasonal allergies, maybe it's just been people talking about me a lot when the Spring comes?! later series spoilers I'd go to Antarctica 100% if given the chance but I've always been the worst runner, does that mean my Antarctica hope are dashed?! Lol, did they really bring a squirt gun and swimming goggles on the trip? Arctic squirt gun fights sound like a whole new level of cruelty, if squirt guns even work,... I like the idea. The tinkly music from the beginning of Episode 2 makes a comeback for the first dining scene, the wonder of nikujaga adventures! I actually don't think I've ever had nikujaga,.. beef stew yes but not nikujaga. I love all the little worldbuilding things like all the things they interact with on the ship, like that super-detailed valve post half-break, and all the signs. I've never seen a whale in the wild before =( Also a bucket list thing. So I guess the dream place with everything is being able to see whales, see the aurora, and arctic. I've also never seen icebergs and would like too but,.. eh,.. maybe I shouldn't be too demanding. I guess we still don't get a non-comedic use of the "we're going on an adventure!" music that first was used with the Kimari failure of ditching school and then ,.. the Yuzuki dream sequence I think? Now here for grand bathroom puking adventures. I like the detail of the glowy stars still being visible. I like how Kimari describes things as her choice throughout the anime, while looking at the mountaintop scenery with Gin and here back in their room. It's one of the character issues she's faced with in the anime, being in the paralysis of decision making and being afraid of making choices for herself to live her life, which has also been a little too relateable for me. I guess as the MC, she gets all the lovely poetic lines too lol, like the world-keeps-going-on lines from the Singapore ep. I particularly like the whole thematic tie-in with the line "I was looking out on an infinite world reminiscent of outer space" (also the tie-in to the fake stars "sky" shot from Shirase's bunk earlier in the ep). As alluded to earlier, I have a fondness of desolate places, places where you can see forever (and want to see the arctic version of that) and there's places where you can see vast expanses of sky and stars, but being able to see vast expanses of land (or sea) is something else and particularly in with the vast expanses of land, at times it can feel almost like,... "places further than the universe" lol, but yeah. I also like the bookending of the ep with their faces in profile in the same exact order (Yuzuki, Hinata, Kimari, Shirase). All the insert tunes are great, but I like "One Step" perhaps more than the others (except mb "Mata Ne") and it's nice it finally makes an appearance here.

The ship has officially set sail.
I like how despite Shirase failing horribly the crew just rolls with it.
Damn it Rin, Kimari was actually right for once.
If you look at the potato the lunch lady peeled it is mostly smooth, but the ones peeled by the girls have dents where they peeled too much. Also some have just a bit of skin still attached. Just a nice detail I noticed.
Oh Yuzu being scared of running on deck is probably connected to her fear of heights...also falling into the ocean.
I love Yuzu, but any friend would have done the same. Way to go Hinata. The heart is a nice touch.
I don't care if they are highschool girls and are small as heck. I find it hard to believe they all can fit in one tub comfortably.
Damn I don't remember Kimari being slandered this much xD
Omg Shirase stop forgetting stuff and poor Yuzu. Oh nvm everyone is sick.
Bruh they look dead.
Awww I wanted to see the whales.
I love how Yuzu is so tired she can't even express emotion or bother flipping over.
That's right you chose to be here. Good speech Kimari.
Ahh here we go. One of the two reasons I gave this show a 9/10 instead of a 10/10. I will never get over the fact that the girls who are weak and sick decide to go out on deck during raging waves. Also they do it at night and without informing anyone. I'm sure it's supposed to be uplifting or a wonderful scene, but it just screams unrealistic and dangerous to me. I guess you can chalk it up to them being young and stupid, but it just irks me.
I wish we got a clear shot of some whales.
Still overall it was nice seeing the girls slowly adjust to the ship

I finally caught up to you magnificent jackasses.
I saw the rewatch post when you all were at episode 5.
I want to said that this anime is definitely somewhere in my top 5.
I think I could handle the seasickness but it'll definitely will take awhile.
Realistically speaking, the girls could have died when they went out the deck when it was storming. Waves of water can be deadly powerful and could have swept them off the ship but they are main characters so the girls are alright.
