Review of A Place Further Than The Universe
Have you ever questioned yourself about how things could have turn out if you've done something that you finally didn't? Sora yori mo tooi basho (A place further than the universe) takes that question from a very different perspective than other shows who tries to answer the same question, showing us what happens when you, in fact, do that thing you question yourself about if you should or not do, instead of crying over it in the future. A place further than the universe is the spark that everyone that's questioning itself what to do to feel alive again should watch. Let's be honest, obviously we'renot going to board the first ship we encounter in direction to antarctica, but as long as we understand that the journey itself it's a metaphore, the only thing that we'll find ourselfs searching for after watching the show is that specific journey that will re-ignite our lifes. Want to do something? try it, you'll fail in the proccess, you'll know new people or get to know better the ones you already know, the only failure it's not to try.
This, is the learning we can get from A place further than the universe, a lesson that a lot of other anime has already tried to taught us, but, at least the shows that I've already watched, no one has achieved to taught me. This show not only focus on making you walk that step towards the train that will take you to the next station of your life, this show isn't focused on showing you the final results, the you from the future when the path's cleared, it is focused on showing you the journey itself as the treasure you're searching for, and that's, at least for me, what it makes A place further than the universe a top tier anime.
