Review of A Place Further Than The Universe

This would probably a nominee for the anime of the year award. The whole series is great. I love the slice of Life and Comedy combination of the show, with a bit of drama included. I really want to give it a perfect 10, but sadly, I saw a few hiccups on the whole series. First of all is the first episode. The first episode should be the one who hooks the viewers up. But the first minutes of the first episode is paced too slow and boring. Second would be the character development. Its kinda dissapointing especially the idol girl who has a sadistpersonality, its just doesn't fit with her. Following up would be the adventures in antarctica. I mean, the episodes should show more of their adventures, like what they did in the opening song. Maybe they should have a little bit of excitement and not just stuck in their camp or base. I waited for them to do what they all did in the OP but I waited for nothing. So sad. The last would be the drama / sad part. I know this is a sliceoflife/comedy anime. The part were the girls cry when the other girl opened the laptop of her mom. Its sad. But they should add more sad moment to it. You know, to make us cry more. And make a perfect ending to the series. But oh well. Enough of the negatives, I praised how good the animations are. The background, the use of cgi, character design and many more. Madhouse is on fire! I also love how they went to singapore, kinda tired seeing all animes placed in Japan. They did a pretty good job animating the buildings in singapore and the durians too. I also praised how realistic the series is! The snowcats, the blizzard, the ship, the helicopter, their base, their gadgets and many more. Even the small details is really on it. They did a huge research apply it in the series. Lastly, I comend the director for the giving the anime a great flow. The characters are so lively, the comedy is so good, and the background scenes is well picked on every episode. Such a great synchronization to all of it. The op song is not that good actually, but the ED is somewhat better than the OP. Overall, a great anime! 9/10
