A Place Further Than the Universe Remains One of the Best Slice of Life Anime. Despite a cold reception, A Place Further Than the Universe is a gorgeous slice-of-life anime that deserves a spot in the limelight.
As a little tidbit on the side, the show's title A Place Further Than the Universe seems to be a clever reference to Japan's first professional astronaut, Mamoru Mohri, who said that it's faster to reach space than to actually get to Showa Station, therefore making it a place further than the universe.
A Place Further Than the Universe, or it's Japanese name Sora yori mo Tooi Basho, is about a group of girls all taking a trip to Antarctica for various reasons, and contrary to the title of my post, it is not actual yuri.
The Violet Evergarden series began as a series of light novels that ran from 2015 to 2020 written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Akiko Takase. The series was adapted into an anime series in 2018 by Kyoto Animation and also received a film called Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll.
A Place Further Than The Universe Season 2 Isn't Likely Although there are many ways Madhouse could continue A Place Further Than The Universe, the studio hasn't made any official announcements regarding reviving the show.

Takako had the bold desire to also build a working observatory for Showa Station before the Japanese government launched theirs at their new station. It is eventually revealed that Takako died after failing to return from the inland station under which the observatory was supposed to be built.
Let's find out. The story of A Place Further than the Universe follows a high school student name Mari Tamaki who want to make the most of her youth, but she is afraid to do it. One day she encounters a girl named Shirase Kobuchizawa who has been saving up, so she can travel to Antarctica to find her missing mother.
They're doing dubs now, so any popular simulcasted show gets a dub and any 'CR Original' gets a dub. As they get accustomed to it and figure out a proper way to start releasing physical media to own, they'll pull a Sentai and Funi and start dubbing the old show to give incentive for people to buy them.
One day she encounters a girl named Shirase Kobuchizawa who has been saving up, so she can travel to Antarctica to find her missing mother. Together with two other girls Hinata and Yuzuki, they join an expedition headed towards the Antarctic.
Mari Tamaki : The (debatable) protagonist of Yorimoi. Mari (or Kimari, as she's called) is very vibrant and energetic. Yet, she finds herself feel like she's wasting her high school years away, doing nothing special with her life. This is why she sets out to go to Antarctica with Shirase after they have their chance encounter. I find Kimari's reasoning to be the most relatable, as I personally don't want to go throughout my life doing nothing interesting. Overall, Kimari is a very likable protagonist, but probably the least interesting of the 4 main girls.
One of the main draws to Yorimoi, its fantastic characters. While I don't think its cast is as godlike as something like K-On , it still has one of the best casts I've seen in anime. They all work off each other fantastically. This is mainly because they feel real. Their conversations are the same things that you could easily see real high school girls having. They laugh together and they cry together, but never are their unique and distinct personalities compromised throughout this. Let's go over each one of the 4 main girls:
However out of all the anime from the Winter 18 season, A Place Further than the Universe quietly became a big hit and unlike any other new show from this season, it was actually good.
Winter 18 anime season was honestly a pretty underwhelming season overall because unlike the Fall 17 anime season didn’t feature a lot of good shows that are not 2nd seasons or leftovers from the Fall 17 season.
Oh well least with got the Japanese audio which was amazing as every Seiyuu did a great job with the roles especially with the four main girls.
Many episodes are devoted to singular problems with no true purpose other than getting to understand the cast and strengthen their bonds. The goal of the story is for characters to reach a place of emotional fulfillment rather than achieving a physical reward for their journey, much like Seishuu Handa's goal in Barakamon was to become a more mature adult through his journey. Finally, in one of the most important aspects of a slice-of-life, A Place Further Than the Universe is extremely immersive, with characters that are easy to connect with and deliver great catharsis through their experiences with everyday problems and relatable emotions.
A Place Further Than the Universe began to distance itself from its own genre to try to attract viewers while at the same time being the perfect example of it.
Of all the strengths in A Place Further Than the Universe, the handling of Shirase's denial of her mother's death is one of the most powerful scenes of grief and acceptance out there. For the entire show, Shirase has spoken as if her mother is waiting for her in Antarctica, even though Gin, Kanae and the viewers all know better. She has been sending emails to her mother for years, updating her on day-to-day events. Takako is dead, but it takes going to Antarctica for Shirase to be able to accept this. She can look back on the years she clung to a desperate hope and finally break, not just because her mother is dead, but because she denied reality for three years and the weight of that all coming down at once is too much to bear.
When plans for Shirase to simply pay her way into the expedition fail, teaming up with Yuzuki is the best way for all of them to reach Antarctica, and it's the first time Yuzuki sees people willing to fight for her friendship and perhaps people to fight back for, even if its only to stave off her own loneliness. She is quick to assume the worst, passive in her own problems, and willing to use people's emotions without true reciprocation.
Kimari longs to be spontaneous in the short time of youth she has before graduating high school. However, even a carefully planned attempt to skip school ends with her sliding right into her desk before the bell. She may dream of adventure but she isn't cut out for it. Clinging to Shirase's enthusiasm gives her the purpose she had been lacking, and she falls in love with the idea of Antarctica as well. Of all the girls, she is the type with the most clueless, naive personality that often appears in "moe" shows, but that is not depicted as a positive trait here. In fact, it has led to her forming relationships with friends who validate themselves based on her dependency on them. Those friends fight against her desire to leave for Antarctica and attempt to cut ties when the friendship is no longer what they want.
If any viewer relates to the more negative aspects of the girls, they are not preached at to become better but shown that these emotions and traits are pieces of real people that can be worked on rather than required to disappear before one can find a place of belonging. It is alright to still be evolving and find love at the same time.
A Place Further Than the Universe is undoubtedly a slice-of-life anime, but beyond that, it's also one of the best. From the greatly fallible and intensely lovable characters to one of the most impactful anime scenes of all time depicting love and grief, the show is leagues beyond cute girls doing cute things, and deserves a second glance from all who may have skipped right over it. Here are some key ways the show is at the top of its game.
A girl who attends Tatara West High School in Tatebayashi, Gunma. She is often called Kimari (キマリ) by her friends. She is always curious about things that she does not know. Despite her curiosity, Kimari realizes she is not living life to the fullest and seeks to make the most of her youth by going on an adventure. One day she finds a misplaced one million yen, and seeking to return the large sum of money she soon encounters the owner and high school student Shirase. Attending the same high school they become close, and Kimari is brought into Shirase's confidence regarding her plans to someday travel to Antarctica. She was impressed by Shirase's Antarctica plan and decided that they would go together, meeting her desire to enrich her youth with new experiences.

As the team spend the night in the middle of a blizzard, Shirase hears from Gin about Takako's final words before Mari gives her her thanks for taking her to Antarctica. Upon arriving at a site for an observatory, Mari and the others search for proof that Takako was there, managing to find a laptop belonging to her.
At their farewell party, Shirase gives a speech on her thoughts on Antarctica, making a promise to come again. As the girls take their leave, Gin discovers one final e-mail in Takako's outbox addressed to Shirase containing a photo she took of the aurora australis, which the girls get to witness themselves.
