| A really wonderful serie. I'm glad that they saw the Aurora. It's time to say goodbye to each other but they will always be together. An amazing group of friends. 10/10. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Easily the best original anime ever. Excellent story, character chemistry, animation and everything else. 10/10. |
 |
| My 2nd watch of the show and I still find it amazing. So difficult to find fault and every reason to love the show. If ever an anime deserves an OVA or a S2 this was it! 10/10 well deserved, and multiple watches just will serve to remind that sometimes anime can really be amazing. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| It's also my dream to go to Antarctica..then I would have sat foot on all seven cotinents of the world, and sailed on six of the seven seas. The Arctic ocean will the last one. This show inspires me to go for it.. 10/10 |
 |
| Beautiful. “Because....people who feel the same way will notice.” Thank you for this beautiful & truly moving story. It reminded me of a lot of things dear to me & things I’ve missed out on, and inspired me to be a little more brave. From the bottom of my heart thank u!!!!!!!!! We’ll go on another journey someday. Best wishes for your life’s journey ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| My 39th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| Last episode. Shirase is certainly adept at mahjong and gambling stuffs, I guess it's in the blood. It's always in the last episode they get a short haircut. "A place further than the universe" An anime that seizes the desires in our life to do something extraordinary and adventurous things and finding the certain groups of friends to make the most out of their youth and explore what lies beyond the reaches of the universe and overcoming the fear of the unknown and the anxieties that are left in the past. This show just excels in what it is trying to convey regarding adventure, friendships, discovering yourself, growing up and most importantly, overtaking all the difficulties to achieve ones goal. Just after they set foot on Antarctica was Breathtaking, Joyous, Heartrending, awe-inspiring, silly and heartbreaking all in one compiled as a masterpiece. Overall, This was a great Anime. Madhouse is back at it again the Animation, the music, the Art style and everything was just outstanding. madhouse never ceases to amaze us. -9/10 Nakamura_Shishou |

| Arigato Madhouse ! I really cried... |
 |
| Oh my god ... I do not know what to say! I had not been so impressed for a long time! 10/10 Just amazing! |

| Feel happy and jealous to Megu at the end. This is a series that make you want to change your life and leave your comfort zone. Arrghhhh I hope I can take action like them. |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| I am glad the mom was not somehow alive. That would add to the unrealisticness of this anime. The message was a good one, but this anime was definitely not a tearjerker for me. The anime was basically telling you that nothing is impossible, you should get out of your comfort zone, and you may even find people with the same goals as you. It was a fun ride. Hinata best girl. I am glad Shirase cheered up cuz she was a little annoying at the start. I get she lost her mom but she got on my nerves at times. Still can't get over the fact that people consider it realistic to go from being scared to go on a train to suddenly want to go to a whole 'nother continent. And that this is how teenagers act. 7/10 |
| Overall, I can say I enjoyed this show, despite the Antarctic arc being subpar, 1-9 were great with 12 being amazing emotionally. I'm having a really hard time seeing a 9, let alone a 10 for this though. 8/10 |
 |
| A very good finale,them looking at the aurora lying down was do good lul and kobuchizawa looks cute in that smol hair My top 3 chars 1-kobuchizawa 2-miyake hinata 3-tamaki Mari |
| I just wanna say... this is the first show in months (probably since Tensura) that it hooked me so hard since the first chapter... and having such a great time watching it, around ep7 a sadness started to invade me, bc I "suspected" how the show would end but I didn't want the great adventure comes to a end. A solid 9.5/10, and probably it made my all time top 10. |

| Pretty good show. I think this is the first realistic travel adventure anime I have seen. Some episodes could have been better but the overall plot was well written. 8/10. |
| Late comer and I don't really do anime criticisms these days. However I do concur with the drama critics, it really makes or breaks the show. There's way too many moments when I don't really get why the characters act the way the do and the show just goes "I don't get my own feelings" or "I'm afraid our jouney will be over once it ends" or "Frienship isn't something you can explain with words" and then resolves this non-issue by a crying scene/shouting nonsense while uplifting song plays at the background. Many anime do this to some extent, but I think it lost novelty here fast. Still it's not a terrible show, it's a mellow( if not somewhat lukewarm) slice-of-life, but I can't say I'm sold on the coming-of-age aspects, which I find have little of interest to say. |
| What a wholesome journey this was....the ending was expected but unexpected... Can't explain it in words how much I love it... 😍😍😍 |
| Haven't found a good anime dialogue to copy yet!! |
| Old fart here. Now that's a pretty good surprise. Yes, there are some chances in the scenario at the beginning which are barely believable, but for the rest, everything is very well executed: story is great, context is original, animation is very good, direction is precise, music is good and of course, characters are great and all manage to evolve in a very nice way. It's very easy to get attached to these young ladies. I particularly liked the scene at the end when the scientists are quite sad that they leave, it feels very true. There's a real sense of adventure coming out of this anime and it really manages to convey the impact on each girl from this exceptional experience. And there's a vast range of feelings and topics explored in such a small amount of time in a very balanced way. Really a great show, congratulations to the makers. |
| Excellent and satisfying finale. "Well, does it look good on me?" Yes, but I still liked your long hair better. :3 Gin and Shirase's farewell speeches were really emotional. It's nice that they finally got to see the Aurora Australis. It was the perfect way to end the adventure. The message from Takako was touching. The girls just saw the same thing. :) I think it was a symbolic thing to do when Shirase left all the money behind. This was definitely one of the most touching scenes in this show. Megumi went to the Arctic. That's cool. Enjoy your adventure! ^^ |
|
| Definitely exceeded my expectations this anime had a lot unexpected depth and strong character bonding that is rare to get such compact form of 13 episodes. They make good use of each episode and the pacing felt just right. I think a lot of shows have a story that does not fit there short run time and it can really bog down the overall quality of the show as it takes too much of the runtime, but this is uses it well even if it is relatively simple in scope. I liked it so much I bumped off the The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya from my favorites for this show. |
 |
| And thus we reached at the end of our expedition. Girls are finally back to their homeland, to Japan. Again a big fat slap to those faces who made fun of them whenever the term "Antarctica" came up. Honestly I liked most of the things from start to finish and the good thing is that neither it feels like this overstayed its welcome nor that it could've been a bit longer, atleast to me. Though I wish they would've shown us a bit about Shirase's mother, bit more of what we had originally. The drama part was okay too, as I'm really not a fan of some overbearing dramatical sequences. All and all definitely a show I'd remember for a long run. I really hate myself for being so late into this, but nevertheless 9/10. |
 |
| So I spent the entirety of the final two episodes ugly-crying. 10/10, would dehydrate myself through my eyes again. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| this shit had me crying a few times, really really well done. i wouldn't want a s2 i think it wrapped up just fine, though if there was another season i'd definitely watch it. i also like shows that wrap up in a dozen or so episodes and don't drag on needlessly. very nice. |
 |
| A solid 9/10 show, great series |
| The characters' interaction and layers of emotion and depth that they had far surpassed my expectations. I loved that as we continue further into the series the development that their relationships with each other and with those back home continued. Although I'm dead on the inside, this series really did tug at my heartstrings and episode 12 almost made me burst out crying. 9/10 |
 |
| Everything that has a beginning, has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well. What a wonderful and splendid anime to end the year with. Goodbye A Place Further than the Universe, looking forward for your next journey. Year 2022 has been a wild ride! |
 |
| What a journey this has been.. no pun intented :P. Shirase can finally move on, Yuzu and Hinata made real friends and Mari spent her youthful days in the best possible way! |
| Beatiful visuals, cool mixture of joy and sadness. |
| Good watch I must say. Its wholesome and straight to the point. Im more of a fan of the first cour when they were still trying to go to Antarctica but the 2nd cour isnt bad, especially the last 2 episodes were great. Im also not a fan of CGDCT but I still enjoyed it Overall its 8/10, they hinted for another long journey coming and I wish that would be true. Lets hope |
