This anime inspired me to 'jump into the deep' as it where, and chase one of my dreams. Last month i traveled alone, by motorcycle, from Tokyo in East Japan to Nagasaki at the far West Kyushu coast. One of the best experiences of my life, and i strongly suggest all of you do not lose touch with your dreams. :-)

I'm gonna put it to you like this. This show is as close to perfect as you can get. A real shame this flew under the radar during Winter 2018 because it's easily one of the best of 2018 and for me personally only bested by Skilled Teaser Takagi-san for 2018.

What are you talking about? It was a pretty big hit and even the NY Times put it on their watch list.

[@yobud11]

yotsubafanfan well he’s not wrong.. the way that “i check” to see if an anime did really good is with the number of youtube views for their anime openings, and this one doesn’t have that many views to be considered a BIG hit. I agree with zalure that this kinda stayed under the radar tbh

[@scrubyt2668]

This is the most beautiful anime I've ever seen, every single episode after episode 2 had me crying by the end. A lot of what the main girls do and talk about is stuff I dreamed of doing when I was a kid but never ended up pursuing. Riding an Icebreaker, going to the arctic, and seeing the Aurora Borealis. I never thought I'd have any regrets but this anime reminded me that the childhood dream I once was so passionate about achieving is still there somewhere and 23 years in I regret not chasing it when I had the chance. I hope A Place Further Than the Universe inspires others to chase their dreams like I never did
