About A Place Further Than The Universe


A Place Further Than The Universe is an original anime series that was not directly based on any pre-existing manga or light novel. The captivating Japanese anime television series premiered in January 2018 and has been widely praised for its emotional depth, character development, and stunning visuals.

The anime series was directed by Atsuko Ishizuka, known for her work on "No Game No Life", while the script was written by Jukki Hanada, who has worked on notable titles like "Steins;Gate" and "Love Live! School Idol Project." This collaboration between Ishizuka and Hanada, under the animation studio Madhouse, resulted in a beautifully crafted narrative that captures the essence of youth, friendship, and the pursuit of one's dreams against all odds.

The story follows four high school girls, each with her own set of fears, aspirations, and personal motivations, as they embark on an extraordinary journey to Antarctica. Mari Tamaki is driven by a desire to break free from the confines of her mundane life. She is joined by Shirase Kobuchizawa, whose determination to find her missing mother in Antarctica sets the course of their adventure. They are later accompanied by Hinata Miyake, a girl seeking camaraderie and escape from the traditional education system, and Yuzuki Shiraishi, a young actress searching for genuine friendship.

What sets A Place Further Than The Universe apart is not just its unique premise of teenage girls venturing into the harsh, unexplored wilderness of Antarctica but also how it meticulously explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the bonds of friendship.

Madhouse, the studio behind the series, is renowned for its high-quality animation and attention to detail, which shine through in Antarctica's breathtaking landscapes and the characters' nuanced expressions.

The soundtrack, composed by Yoshiaki Fujisawa, further enhances the emotional and adventurous tones of the series.
