These shows are both about people trying to get to a specific destination (the moon and antarctica). They go into great detail to show the struggles and hardships required to achieve these dreams. The characters are very fleshed out and enjoyable to follow. They both leave you with a feeling of wanderlust, and a desire to better yourself. these are some of the most motivating shows I've seen. Watch either if you are in a slump and need some encouragement.
The theme and mood of the story are very similar. They're both emotional and exhilarating to watch.
They're both about achieving dreams that a common person would think it's impossible.
At the beginning, the characters themselves didn't believe they could do it.
An impossible destination, distant and unreachable to ordinary humans.
That is what the 2 anime share. Although there's no lack of stories in space or harsh environments, what sets them apart is that they are grounded in reality and within the familiar confines of our present world.
Space Brothers, as per the title, follows the journey of 2 brothers as they aim to fulfill their childhood dream of becoming astronauts and going to the moon. It's an incredible ride of 99 (too few!) episodes, inspirational and engaging throughout. But what's truly impressive is the anime's astonishingly realistic and painstaking display of astronaut training, as well as the

The two shows are based on people achieving "impossible" things - going to space and Antartica. Portrayed are the hopes, difficulties and self-doubts which are encountered every step of the way. Focus is placed on the importance of having people who support you, and who you support in turn.
Both shows are grounded in reality (though Space Brothers is a lot more realistic), with well-written characters who avoid common anime tropes and archetypes. The music and production values for both is great as well! They enhance emotional scenes superbly.
Would highly recommend both shows. Very motivating and feel-good.

Here, between Uchuu kyoudai and Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho, both protagonists have a reckless dream that they want to accomplish. Even if that means throwing away everything that they do. Looked down upon and even mocked for wanting to do something different and unconventional, they do not hesitate and are excited. The overall reaching theme is to shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Both will also inspire you with their relatable passion and likable characters.

Both shows present a cast of lovable characters working hard to make their dreams of going where few have gone before a reality. Both shows feel optimistic, but Space Brothers is much more realistic than A Place Farther Than The Universe. Both shows are great for anyone looking for an uplifting and encouraging watch.
Similarly inspiring tale that tells you to strive for your dreams, and that nothing is impossible. Characters in both shows are not cardboard cutouts, but well developed and nuanced enough to feel real. And most of all, both shows have similar charm and a wonderful sense of humor that pervades everything.

Both shows make you feel so moon (If you know what I mean).
A place further than the Universe is a small those of what you experience in the 99 episodes of Space Brothers.
The stories are similar in the way that the cast is trying to fulfill a dream or escaping from the monotony of life (Getting the most out their lives will summarize it).
The characters are different in the way that one are 16-year-old high school girls and the other are 30+ years old adults. But both are amazing and feel so real. The most important part of both shows is their characters. And

Both series are about regular people trying to accomplish what at first seem like impossible goals.
They both contain a lot of light-hearted moments and a sharp sense of humor, yet they don't shy away from addressing heavier emotions and obstacles in a realistic fashion.
But where these two series are the most similar, is in their being about watching incredibly endearing characters shooting for just as incredible dreams, and taking the audience along every step of their journeys.
If you liked either of these series, you are very likely to enjoy the other as well.
Both shows are very inspiring and refreshing and their passion of wanting to achieve their dreams would definitely make you want to do something great in your life too. It's like a push in the back that just fills you up with motivation.

Going to a very unlikable place, whetever it's Antarctica or Space, both of these series have a healthy balance of comedy, drama, and juggle nicely with lot of interesting antidere characters.
Both have people striving to explore distant places that very few people will ever have the chance to visit. Indeed, these are incredible achievements not just for the explorers but humanity as a whole. It's about dreaming big, and making big steps to achieve that dream. And perhaps learning something about yourself in the struggle.
Yorimoi is a more condensed story, focusing on friendship and drama, with a somewhat broken cast. Space Brothers is much longer and more grounded in realism. And the journey is far more competitive. Watch it if you are in it for the long haul. In the time it takes to get
