Synopsis

Filled with an overwhelming sense of wonder for the world around her, Mari Tamaki has always dreamt of what lies beyond the reaches of the universe. However, despite harboring such large aspirations on the inside, her fear of the unknown and anxiety over her own possible limitations have always held her back from chasing them. But now, in her second year of high school, Mari is more determined than ever to not let any more of her youth go to waste. Still, her fear continues to prevent her from taking that ambitious step forward—that is, until she has a chance encounter with a girl who has grand dreams of her own.

Spurred by her mother's disappearance, Shirase Kobuchizawa has been working hard to fund her trip to Antarctica. Despite facing doubt and ridicule from virtually everyone, Shirase is determined to embark on this expedition to search for her mother in a place further than the universe itself. Inspired by Shirase's resolve, Mari jumps at the chance to join her. Soon, their efforts attract the attention of the bubbly Hinata Miyake, who is eager to stand out, and Yuzuki Shiraishi, a polite girl from a high class background. Together, the four spirited girls set sail toward the frozen south, all in search of something great.

This is not much of a review, rather a thank you letter for this anime.

I have rewatched A Place Further Than The Universe countless times at this point, and not a single time did I succeed to hold my tears. The story of a Place Further Than the Universe is quite simple at first, it is just a story of four girls embarking on their journey to Antarctica, yet it somehow manages to get me emotional every single time. A Place Further than the Universe does not have crazy plot twists or progression, it just holds on to its few core themes of friendships, dreams ...

Mixed Feelings
This is a good anime, it's true that after watching it you will feel that this anime leaves certain impressions. However, if you want to watch this anime, YOU MUST BE IN TOP CONDITION, NOT TOO SLEEPY, NOT TOO MUCH BURDEN ON YOUR MIND, AND DON'T THINK THIS IS A SOL CGDCT ANIME, BULLSHIT. Because of the factors above, I was only able to enjoy it in the last 2 episodes. The good thing about this anime is that there are memorable moments at the end of each episode. After you watch this anime. You'll feel like you've been on a very long journey, even ...

Not much to say about this since its just a childishly dramatized concept of 4 friends going on a work-vacation to Antarctica.
From its title and people promoting it as their lord and savior I'd assumed it was some deeply touching fantasy exploration, but no, it's just SoL slop with barely anything in it. I mean do these people even know what the word universe means? Surely they don't or they wouldn't be stroking themselves off to it to name drop the title in their dialogue like some kind of hot tub time machine, I mean that would've been an actual premise to explore instead of ...
