Review of A Place Further Than The Universe
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, dreamsand ambitions, family, and pushes it to absolute perfection. Every tearjerker show needs an emotional music to support it, and A Place Further than the Universe somehow manages to have one for every episode, hitting right in my heart every single time. I adore all four of the main characters, perfectly made for each other to make true "friendship".
A Place Further than the Universe is a life-changing experience. It inspires me to continue moving forward, not being afraid of what other people think, and experience life to our fullest. The show manages to make me smile and cry every episode, and makes me think "what if I had the courage to shine brightly like them". And let's be honest, you cannot watch this show and not completely bawl in tears watching episode 12.
Thank you to Madhouse and everyone who participated in bringing this masterpiece to this world.
10/10. The perfect anime does not exi...no it does, and it's right here.
