Synopsis
A Place Further than the Universe (Sora yori mo Tooi Basho, 2018) is a Madhouse anime you can watch online on iFILM. Four high-school girls set out to do something absurd: reach Antarctica, the one place ordinary teenagers never go.
It starts with Mari, nicknamed Kimari — sixteen, forever promising herself a bigger life and forever putting it off until tomorrow. Then she crosses paths with Shirase, who has spent years saving for an expedition to the polar station where her mother vanished. Two more join in: Hinata, running from her past, and Yuzuki, a famous child actress worn down by loneliness. Across thirteen episodes the journey runs from a school rooftop to an icebreaker's deck and on to the white continent where sky meets sea. Inori Minase and Kana Hanazawa lead the voice cast.
What looks like a cute teen comedy turns into a surprisingly grown-up story about friendship, grief and the nerve it takes to begin. The closing episodes hit far harder than a show about girls with backpacks has any right to — there's a reason it landed on best-of-the-year TV lists in 2018. If you're tired of anime built around battles and want one built around people, start here. Stream A Place Further than the Universe (2018) online on iFILM.
