Omake Gif Anime - Sora yori mo Tooi Basho - Episode 13 [END] - Hinata Records Shirase and Penguins

Shirase's penguin dream came true when she got mobbed by a horde of them. Unfortunately, the dream included how bad they smell...

The girls' last request before they left Antarctica was to play baseball (softball) with everyone on the expedition. Apparently, the only ones who could ever hit Gin's pitches were Takako and her daughter Shirase.

The farewell party was an emotional one. Shirase actually made a good speech without getting nervous, making Gin so proud.

It turns out the big dude was always looking at Yuzuki because he was a big fan of her career. One last mystery solved.

Lots of closure happened with the aurora australis. The girls finally saw one, away from the eternal light of Summer, Takako had one last email she never sent to Shirase with a picture of one, and Mari's friend Megumi sent a picture of her with the borealis flavor from the Arctic! What an emotionally satisfying show with great characters.
