A Place Further Than the Universe

It starts with a story of a high school girl and how she wanted to do more while she was young. On the path to going somewhere new she meets new people that end up being the best of friends. A story of friendship on a journey to a place further than the universe.

This may just be the most wholesome anime I've yet to see. I thought the premise was a bit silly or cheesy at first but boy does it end up hitting close to home. Give it a shot and you won't be disappointed!

Any anime that can make me feel things is automatically a few steps above the rest in my opinion. The visuals are really top notch, the music is impressive, and the story is amazing. The only reason this doesn't get a 10 is because I usually reserve 10s for something that revolutionizes anime or is just SO incredibly good that if anyone suggested it is something other than a 10 I would argue with them until they saw things my way. Overall, an amazing show, you WILL NOT regret watching this. That is a promise.

Jumped into this not knowing what to expect and ended up getting hooked on the journey of these girls aiming to reach Antarctica. It's more than just an adventure; it's about breaking free from your comfort zone and chasing your dreams, which is pretty inspiring. The way each character has their own reasons and fears, but still pushes forward, makes the story relatable and the group dynamic interesting. Plus, the animation when they showcase the landscapes and the harsh beauty of Antarctica is seriously cool, adding a whole new level to the experience.

But while the concept and the character development are top-notch, there were times when the pacing felt off, like some episodes dragged on longer than they needed to. It's a 7/10 for me because, despite these slower moments, the overall message and the emotional highs make it worth watching. The anime does a great job at mixing light-hearted moments with serious themes, making you laugh one minute and reflect the next. It's definitely a unique take on the slice-of-life genre, showing that sometimes, the most extraordinary adventures can come from the simplest desires.

This is a little gem that I did not expect to find. It has some great character arcs and beautiful character development. Antarctic expeditions "amlost" seems fun after watching this. It's short and doesn't overstay it's welcome.
