Our first step was always curiosity. For unseen sights, unheard sounds, unsmelled scents, untouched textures, untasted tastes, and unfelt excitement. We travel to find the bits and pieces that we'd forgotten at some point. Howling at 40 degrees, going mad at 50 degrees, screaming at 60 degrees, to the primordial lands beyond the great oceans, at the edge of the earth, far removed from human civilization. This is the story of four girls who travel to the Antarctic, further even than outer space. Note: The first two episodes received an early screening at a special event held at Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro on 27.12.2017. Also the first episode received a special preliminary delivery on dAnime Store on 28.12.2017 (limited to 500 viewers), on NicoNico Live on 29.12.2017 and on AbemaTV on 30.12.2017.
