A place further than the universe is an anime I held off and ignored for quite a long time, thinking it was just a typical moe show with a little bit of beauty, which didn't really appeal to me. But it ended up being one of my favs, and holds a special place in my heart. This was a show that had a lot an affect on me, with unexplainable feelings that I still can't find the right words for even after months since I finished it.

Introduction

The show starts off pretty great, with one of our mcs Mari Tamaki, as she realized she hasn't done anything memorable, or rather a significant experience in her youth. So of course she decides to go somewhere, she packs her bags, buys a ticket for a train she's all ready she's pumped she's proud of herself for deciding it... but no. Instead she walks out of the station, nervous and unsure.
Then she meets a girl Shirase Kobuchizawa (best girl btw, probably.)

She has somewhat a goal as crazy as Mari has, a goal worth stepping up and working hard for, a goal that felt like it was.... further than the universe they were in. They meet up talking about their goals, Shirase wants to go Antarctica to see the location of her late mother. (correct me if i'm wrong about this part it's been a long time since i watched this :skull:). Meets two more girls for the rest of the show as well Hinata Miyake and Yuzuki Shiraishi

The main story
They go to antarctica, that's it.

Why I love this show
From my experience Yorimoi is inspirational, it got me thinking about my decisions in life that made me feel empty,
and an experience I didn't expect to have in life. It wasn't just girls going to antarctica, but a journey that felt too real for me

I love the writing of this show, it's managed to capture these character's desires so damn well. They're all lovable, no trashy conflict for them and it never fails to have it's focus. Some of it's moments are one of the most heartfelt scenes I've seen in media and fiction, reminders of my own amazing experiences in life, reminders of my dreams and goals that I threw away when I got discouraged, or just thought that I didn't had the chance to do it. Everyone needs a companion in life, someone that cares for you and you care back. Quality time with my friends are some of my favs in life, even if I'm a silent guy or my friends and I are doing dumb shit, it doesn't matter to me since I feel comfortable whatever the situation as long as I'm with them. Some memories I hold dear that I've forgotten I wanted to remember and remembered again because of this show, I got more aware of my desires and goals in life as well. The show reflected an aspect I didn't know I had and knowing that I couldn't deny it hit me hard.

Overall thoughts/summary
I laughed, cried and got all sorts of emotions watching this show, I wouldn't say this anime changed the entirety of my life, but it definitely has changed me and I hope and wish to have more memorable experiences in life. Honestly, this was much more about my thoughts on it rather than being an actual review lmao, but if you read this entire sentimental shitshow of mine I hope you enjoyed it.
