Yes, Shiraisi is their sponsor, so it's same as if they paid their self. There is no benefit sponsoring kids with no special ability though and no doing laundry and snacks isn't even close to qualification. She may have enough word in project to let them in out of good will, but I would love hear why she should pay single cent for them.

If you're a car racer, paying for your equipment and team out of your pocket is most definitely not the same as having sponsors paying for everything. This is pretty much the same. Shiraishi's sponsoring the project. What does she get out of it depends on the expedition's goals. They're not going as tourist. The expedition must have some specific goal and Shiraishi must have an interest in it.

She's sponsoring the project. As long as the expedition achieves their goals, she probably couldn't care less who's going.

More people go, more money is required. Again there is no single reason why she should pay for death weight who might actually endanger whole thing instead.Well at least you still didn't provided any reason so far.

You better come with sound argument why they should be allowed in, otherwise there is no point in answering.

jwai · 2018-01-12, 06:18

Or perhaps we can all wait for the next episode to see what happens?

Tenzen12 · 2018-01-12, 06:35

It will probably take three or four episodes imho (but who knows), before they get permission, but sure.

I already said that's why Yuzuki is related to the sponsor. There's no reason to give her that background if the story isn't gonna use it. That's storytelling 101.

But let's wait and see.

Gan_HOPE326 · 2018-01-12, 09:22

Shirase's dead mother was their colleague and friend. We could also consider the possibility that - under strict supervision - they just decide to allow them as a gesture that will help Shirase find closure, and for a duty felt towards their lost friend. It's perhaps a bit romantic and not too realistic, but it would perfectly fit within the themes and tone of the show.

alex_drian · 2018-01-14, 21:46

mmm I'm thinking about drop this show. I don't know if at the end this qualifies as CGDCT, but I'm not particularly fond of the drama in this. I don't know, the setting don't works for me, is a taste issue. Well, I don't expect them for getting in the expedition for other thing that plot reasons and only to find problems and problems instead of the play in the snow of the OP. I don't know, for many of the reasons mentioned in this thread and others that I can put in words. First, I don't like Shirase very much. I feel that she don't have the right mindset for this purpose (aside that the efforts seems to be in vain?). I don't know, the dissonance of the characters with the plot bothers me. I only give a more episode and I will decide.

Episode 3:

This was another nice episode.

Really glad to learn more about the characters like Yuzuki. Honestly, I think almost every cast in this series stands out in some way either with their role or personality so far. I really like the way it presents its comedy too.

That was also one heck of a dream.

Kazu-kun · 2018-01-16, 10:07

See how I was right? Yuzuki will solve their problems.

On a related note, I really liked the little scene between Shirase and Hinata. Shirase showed she's not as self-absorbed as she seems to. That was nice.

Tenzen12 · 2018-01-16, 11:04

No I don't see how you were right, but it's good biggest obstacle is out of way.

Mistyclear · 2018-01-16, 11:30

I love the dynamics for the team, an amusing group has been put together. Wonder about the lady after the ending theme, wonder what her role is going to be.
I quite like this series, good episodes so far looking forward to the rest.

SeijiSensei · 2018-01-16, 18:24

Are we sure that Yuzuki's ultimatum was accepted, or will her mother try to undermine the deal? Are we sure that the expedition has no problem suddenly taking four teen-aged girls along instead of just one idol? Stretching out the "will they/won't they get to Antarctica" plot line adds to the drama. I think that's why the mother is portrayed in such a suspicious fashion at the end.

Assuming they get their way, I'd imagine the next arc concerns provisioning for their journey and dealing with celebrity. I expect to see at least one or two stuffed penguins find new homes in the bedrooms of our young heroines.

After this episode I'll probably keep watching. I've always liked plucky-girl shows since I started watching anime with Mononoke Hime. I have to say, too, that despite how cliched and manipulative Yukari's "poor-idol-girl" story was, it still got to me. I liked her smile in the auditorium watching the aurora video.

Her mother proposed the idea in the first place. She can't back down now.

They have to deal with it because Yuzuki's mother is paying for the expedition.

I think the "how do we get to Antarctica" arc is over. The next few episodes are gonna be a little more personal. On one hand there's Megumi who's clearly starting to think her best friend is drifting away from her. Then there's the mysterious woman who showed up at the end of the episode with a picture of Shirase and her missing mom.

grecefar · 2018-01-16, 20:33

looks like it can be a relative, shirase mother and her look alike a little.

Random Wanderer · 2018-01-16, 23:32

So... how is Mari going to explain this trip to Antarctica to her family?

Considering she wasn’t planning to inform her family when she first decided to travel...I have no idea...maybe leave a note.

"Hey mom! Went to Antarctica on a whim with some people I just met. I'll be gone for several months, so if school calls asking about me, let them know where I am. Oh, and there's a chance I could die on this trip, but it's probably nothing to worry about. Talk to you later!"

The TV people showing up (and offering to pay for it) will probably help. Or at least not hurt.
