Very strong finale, excellent directing and a fantastic stinger. I personally kind of wish they'd held one last big emotional hit in reserve after episode 12, but I respect them deciding to bring it in on a relatively smooth and contemplative note. Great goddamn show. Back half wasn't quite as strong to me as the first half (episode 12's ruinous climax aside), but still well worth watching. One of the season's finest right here.

I don't mind the conclusion we got. It's the denouement that was probably needed to come down from episode twelve. But I can't help but think that just ending on the emotional gutpunch that was the end of ep. 12 would have been even stronger.

Would you folks be up for a second season of them going on another journey somewhere, a season detailing Megumi's Arctic adventure, both, or neither? I feel like with their personal problems taken care of for the most part another season wouldn't be quite as good, but on the other hand I'd love to spend more time with these characters.

I'd definitely be down for at least an OVA focused on Megu.

A couple OVAs or movies. Maybe a second season of them touring a bunch of different far off places. Definitely my favourite of the season, and likely to be for the whole year.

On one hand, the dynamic between the four lead girls was really excellent and at the heart of what made this show good, on the other hand, like I said earlier I really want to know how Megumi's adventure to the frozen north even happened. "I need to see better auroras than my friend who's in Antarctica. No I can't explain why. Put me on this freighter to Svalbard."

I'm really, really glad that they never went with a "the team encounters the same catastrophe that killed Takako, and must overcome it." Get lost out in a blizzard as well or whatever. I didn't think they'd do it after the last episode anyway but it was a series that did not need that sort of schmaltzy drama so I'm glad it never went that route either way.

what an amazing show. There was no way they could top the last episode's climax for emotions so I'm glad they didn't try, this ending was perfect

Perhaps with a different cast or a substantial time-skip, or to varying locations or even just what they're doing after the fact could be done well, but generally I do agree.

Back in episode 10 Megumi was reading a travel guidebook on the polar regions. God I love a well crafted story.

This was such a good show. The group dynamics were funny, the emotional moments were powerful, and it was well-written. I'm going to miss this.

Yea, I wouldn't mind a second season about a different group of girls with different problems visiting a different location and where the original group only play small roles as the inspiration for someone in the new group to dream big or something. Even Megumi's story doesn't feel like it needs expanding, because we know enough from the sparse details the show has given to work out her general trajectory. She was inspired by her friend's courage and acceptance and so decided to go some place herself. She didn't try for an impossible dream like the Antarctic, but she still went someplace most people don't to prove to herself she could go places and be more if she tried. Tamaki's actions inspired her, and that's enough.

great ending but i definitely would have loved if the show had just mic dropped on episode 12's ending and left it there. and yeah this show doesn't need any follow up imo it was a perfect self contained story and i fuckin loved it

I loved the show but saying that it should've ended in episode 12 would've been like saying that Psycho-Pass would've had a better ending if it cut-off right after Akane (voiced also by HanaKana, by the way!) crying after knowing she couldn't do squat to "save" Kougami from being persecuted/terminated by the Sibyl System so he had to bail. Then again, Psycho-Pass worked well enough as a 22-episode anime and the 2nd season just feels like a big waste of time so maybe you're onto something?

episode 13 was really, really important for the show's tone, imo. the show ended with 'best wishes on your life's journey.' we needed to see that shirase had moved on, that she was happy, that the girls had plans for their future, that even the side characters were in a better place now and were starting on their own journeys. episode 12 was the dramatic highpoint and would have been a fine ending but i think episode 13 serves an incredibly important purpose in giving the show its specific meaning.

Speaking of whom, I like that when I expected the show to go with the easy metaphor of lovesick-dude literally striking out with Gin, it instead swerved into her just nailing the poor dude with a wild pitch. Gin not a fan of subtlety.

Yeah, I'm good with this ending here and now. Heck, I would have been happy with it ending after ep12, but I get the need for the denouement. One and done works for me unless they've got something really important to say that they haven't already. Do it if it'll be good, not just because this was surprisingly popular, ya know?

This show was excellent and I liked the chilled-out ending after the previous episode's emotional finale. I don't think it needs a second season, but I would love an OVA episode or two and then maybe a lighthearted movie where the gang takes a shorter trip somewhere? One of the OVAs has to be Shirase winning her million yen back through a shady underground mahjong tournament in order to fund the next trip.

I'm picturing her in some smoke-filled yakuza gambling den, protected from the illicit dealings and debauchery going on around her by a complete ignorance of there possibly being anything wrong.

It's more likely that someone on the team will find it, and turn it into Gin as 'lost property'; Gin will of course recognize whose it is. We'll see Shirase in Japan doing something utterly unconnected... then Gin walks in, tells her "You dropped this," puts the yen in front of Shirase, turns and walks out.
