Anime where high school girls go on adventures.
-Yurucamp is more lighthearted and funny, and it focuses on camping and adventures within Japan (especially in the prefectures near Mount Fuji). Also it has more of a focus on cooking.
-Yorimoi, however, is more serious and dramatic as it involves high school girls risking their lives trying to reach Antarctica.
Both shows are about a group of girls who try to do something exciting and go on an adventure. They show the struggles that come with trying something and the rewards for doing so.
Both are great motivation to do something you've never done before and explore the world.
The Winter 2018 season was blessed with two anime that revolve around the theme of going outside. While 'Sora yori mo Tooi Basho' focuses on the thrill of traveling towards the unknown in the company of good friends; 'Yuru Camp' highlights the beauty of simple things in life and nature. Needless to say both show's main casts are a bunch of cuties!
Similar though different animation styles that give off a softer feeling while watching even though the plot is quite adventurous. Both follow the outdoor trips of the loveable female protagonists, touching topics such as friendship, determination, and of course the spirit of adventure will make you want to try going on a trip yourself. Yuru Camp△'s story is more laid-back (pun intended) and cheerful, and Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho is a tad more serious. It has ups and downs, it is cheerful and it can make you (and me) cry. I highly recommend both!
Both shows involve an all-girl cast going on their own respective adventures (much larger scale in Sora Yori) and primarily focus on the characters' interactions with one another. Both shows are also considered to be heartwarming in their respective rights
Cute high school girls doing outdoor activities and creating bonds of friendship along the journey, they are also educative, Sora Yori for the Antarctica and Yuru Camp for camping.
Yuru Camp is more centered on camping trips, and Sora Yori is much more adventurous and contains more mature problems.
It’s not about „Cute girls doing cute things” formula. It’s not just about high schoolers traveling here and there. It’s mainly about dreams coming true, fulfilling your passions and being free in such a restrictive world. Nadeshiko and Tamaki are similar characters. They are usually happy and enthusiastic. And they will surely keep making your face smile and your heart warm until the very end.
And again, another anime, where schoolgirls decided to go travelling somewhere. A lot of cute girls and also, in both anime, there are beautiful backgrounds. Animation is not bad, but sometimes there are errors in the animation.
-both feature high school girls doing things that are more mature than what is expected of them, for yorimoi it's travelling to the antarctic and for yuru camp it's camping alone
-both have REALLY good art and OSTs
-yoramoi puts more of its focus on character relationships and their inner conflicts while yuru camp puts its focus on simply "cute girls doing cute things"
Both involve a group of girls who go travelling together. Yorimoi's plot feels more like an adventure, but both say a lot about enjoying life, while also being cute and comfy.
Amazing Girls Doing Amazing Things!
Brave Girls Doing Brave Things!
Cute Girls Doing Cute Things!
Diligent Girls Doing Diligent Things!
Both stories are about a simple but amazing life of a group of girls who start an adventure and live together somewhere far from their homes. Strong friendship is built. The sweetness of sharing emotions and having fun together!
You can learn about many things related to outdoor activities and how to handle some issues.
Yuru camp I consider it an improved version to sora yori mo tooi basho, the atmosphere, soundtrack characters just as good, these kinds of things that make you enjoy anime.
In contrast, yuru camp I consider better focused on his genre, accounts of life and a touch of "adventures", among many quotes, taking out the drama, detail that I did not like to see in sora yori, because I saw it unnecessary and I gave more importance to that than to the adventure genre itself, which unlike yuru camp shows us in an incredible way the different landscapes of the anime.
So if you liked sora yori mo tooi basho a lot, I totally recommend Yuru camp, I think you will feel just as well enjoying it.read more
Wise words: if you're lacking motivation and looking for an inspiring anime, look no more. These two, both released in winter 2018, somehow make a perfect pair, and you need to watch them together.
Both have good comedy. One has a tough and deep storyline, and can even make you sob at the end of every episode. The other one is light-hearted and serene, as "laid-back" as it name.
One makes you contemplate about the meaning of youth. The other just calms you down with good laughters. These two compensate each other perfectly.
And most important, they give you what you need: motivation. An urge to go outside, do something remarkable, change your lifestyle, and enjoy your youth - "seishun suru".
10/10 must-watch, as recommend by me.

In case you missed it, reckless abandon is a popular theme here. Nadeshiko really has no idea what she is getting into and the same goes for Kimari. However, that drive is what pushes them to see more. The art is fantastic between the two series and they both feature new, blossoming friendships as well as famous locations from around Japan and the world. Yuru Camp is a bit more mild on the adventure, but definitely one you should let your eyes and mind enjoy.
Both anime tell about natural adventures with eye-pleasing graphics and interesting characters. but unlike Yuru Camp, Sorayori also provides drama scenes that can make tears well up. highly recommended!
Both anime have a group of girls being together, except that Yuru camp's purpose is to camp (literally). Much similar to Sora Yoori, Yuru Camp will give you a warm and cozy feeling while watching.
Both anime is about a group of high school girls who want to go on an adventure.
Yuru Camp does have a more lighthearted and carefree approach to this while A Place Further Than The Universe has a more serious approach. Both are a masterpiece and I highly recommend you to watch both of them
Similar moods, good character chemistry, and both are generally quite jolly with a sprinkling of sadness. While the characters in K-On are certainly less focused on a specific goal, both series show character development, growth, and meaningful/believable relationships between them.
Very similar character interaction, personalities, and way of finding a new thing to do together as newfound friends.
As a big fan of K-ON!, I can vouch that Sora yori has a very similar feeling and vibe. If you liked one, you'll surely like the other. Both give strong character chemistry, delivering them in similar ways.
Very similar in one of the central themes: how friendships makes us better persons. Character interactions and humor are very similar as well. Yorimoi is more dramatic and a little faster paced in its character development, since K-On is ~40 episodes long and the girls have less dramatic issues to resolve there, though when the feels hit in K-On they hit almost as hard as in Yorimoi.
All in all, Yorimoi is a more adventurous and dramatic version of K-On, or, K-On is a more slice-of-life and laid back version of Yorimoi. People who loved either of them will definitely like the other, if not love it all the same.read more
The characters are pretty much copied and pasted. Tall shy girl with black hair. Happy go lucky girl that wants to do something with her youth/high school years, also with brown hair. Rich girl who just wants to experience a normal life and have friends. Energetic girl who hates boring things and behaves like a child.
Obviously my statements here are pretty vague but once you think about it you can't "unthink" it. Especially if you watched k-on first.
Not saying it's a bad thing by any means cause if you enjoyed one you'll probably enjoy the other. (I did)
An all-girl cast of quirky and unique characters with a similar premise of finding something to be passionate about and making friends. A fun and hilarious laid-back story filled with hilarious character interactions.
The two series have the same energy and very similar characters. The four main girls are much like the four main girls of K-On!
They both set out together on a specific goal.
Slice of life show focused largely on character interaction/relationships where four high-school girls set off on an adventure to Antarctica.
Characters have personalities similar to K-On and the humor is similar as well.
Except for the different plots, Sora Yora is like a 10th anniversary edition of K-On! with modernized production values. It clones the K-On formula down to the level of cast, supporting cast, humor, and pacing, and it does so really well! The leading two girls, thoughtful, shy, and somewhat uptight hime-cut beauties Mio/Shirase and slightly clumsy, passionate, unconditionally positive brown-haired genki-girls Yui/Mari are twins separated at birth.
Both shows have their distinct, recognizeable moe art styles and stand out with animation quality near movie smoothness. Both shows are premium diabetis material, Sora Yori's plot has a a little bit more action. And just like K-On is not really about music, Sora Yori isn't really about Antarctica. And I couldn't care less.read more
Same basic CGDCT formula, but yorimoi hits faster and sadder in my opinion. Very meaningful, has a lot of powerful tearjerking moments. This anime teaches you how to deal with loss. take risks and not to waste your youth. Definitely give this one a shot - It's higher on my all time list than K-On!, and K-On! is a damn good anime.
The four main girls of K-On share similarities to the four main girls of A Place Further than the Universe. There's a ditsy girl who's looking for some sort of direction. A girl who's passionate about what she's doing but also very nervous on stage. A girl who's really energetic with a bit of stubbornness. And a girl who has a lot of money/fame who wants to experience new things.
They all meet in the beginning of the show like in K-On. A really big part of both shows is the friendship and character development. They're both slice of life shows imo there's just a lot less messing around like there is in K-onread more
Lets first talk about the main characters of both animes shall we?
The airheaded and carefree main character: check
The tall, black haired beauty who is also the most shy and most caring of the group: check
The most energetic, outgoing extrovert of the group: check
The rich ojou-sama who wanted to have a normal life: check
Bonus:
The main character's glasses-wearing childhood friend: check
The main character's reliable younger sister: check
Although both animes have different plots, both are still the same in that they value their friendship the most and how the main character groups try to make the most of their high school lives.
While these two anime are about two totally different things, they are also fundamentally very similar. They are both what I would call a true "adventure" anime. Where the anime is about setting off on a journey to go somewhere important to them, they are both excellent and highly regarded anime.
-both is about exploring the unknown.
-Made in Abyss is an exploration within an unknown world in the center of the earth with many strange creatures and side effects on the human body as the depth increases as Sora Yori is about an exploration in the coldest place on the Planet and how the journey is made to Antarctica (very interesting)
Both Made In Abyss and A Place Further Than the Universe feature young, middle to high school age children and their love for the great beyond. Shirase and Riko are both traveling to harsh lands to find their mothers and make friends and allies along the way. Made In Abyss has a dark tone, violence and some truly heart wrenching moments while A Place Further Than the Universe is lighthearted, more like a Slice of Life show like K-ON. However, if you are captivated by unfamiliar, harsh landscapes and exploring the unknown then you will love both of these shows.
Typically follows the same format with kids embarking on an adventure to a difficult place with the goal of reuniting with one of the protagonist's love one. The protagonists in both shows experienced being underestimated and challenged before they are able to set out on their journey.
Both shows exude a theme of overcoming odds and never giving up on one's dream thus delivering a feeling of inspiration and freedom. If you were captivated by the atmosphere and curiosity of exploring the vast unknown by one of these shows, then chances are you'd probably like the other. Be wary though, that Made in Abyss is darker and heavy whereas Sora Yori is lighthearted.read more
In every episode, the feeling of emptiness grows bigger since in both animes the MC travels beyond "possible" seeking for her mother. Adventure, friendship and relationships, memories of a recent past...
The animation is flawless, and it has the ability to move the viewer's kokoro :)
Both have characters that adventure into unfamiliar worlds while facing obstacles on the way.
The art style is also somewhat similar, as the character designs are not stereotypical as you would see in most anime.
Made in Abyss and A Place Further Than the Universe both follow the story of a young girl leaving home to find her mother, whom she believes to be missing, but whom everyone else believes is dead. Both journeys have the odds stacked against them, but where APFTTU focuses more on character relationships and the intimacy between friends, Made in Abyss focuses on exploration and discovering one's unknown past.
Is about kids going to an environment that is physically very difficult to live in. In addition, the structure of the story at the beginning is exceedingly similar, with them both starting in schools.
Adventure-
A Longing of being going into the unknown.
In A Place Further than the universe, they are going to Antarctica, which is not where casual travellers would go to.
In Made in Abyss, there is this abyss of the unknown where it has 'layers' and each of the layers has its ecosystems, flora and fauna. Then there is the danger of ascending.
Feelings-
Both anime have Its 'feels'
In A Place Further than the universe, there is a sense of gratification when they reach Antarctica which cannot be explained with words.
In Made in Abyss, There is the mystery surrounding the layers and what they are. Look at the map. What the hell is that? Is that a New 'World'? or Is that a giant monster that ... 'shit is about to go down'?

Same adventure movie and same motivation about finding a lost mother and hoping she is still alive. The only difference between them is Sora Yori is more on realistic setting while MIA is a fantasy world
These shows are both about people trying to get to a specific destination (the moon and antarctica). They go into great detail to show the struggles and hardships required to achieve these dreams. The characters are very fleshed out and enjoyable to follow. They both leave you with a feeling of wanderlust, and a desire to better yourself. these are some of the most motivating shows I've seen. Watch either if you are in a slump and need some encouragement.
The theme and mood of the story are very similar. They're both emotional and exhilarating to watch.
They're both about achieving dreams that a common person would think it's impossible.
At the beginning, the characters themselves didn't believe they could do it.
An impossible destination, distant and unreachable to ordinary humans.
That is what the 2 anime share. Although there's no lack of stories in space or harsh environments, what sets them apart is that they are grounded in reality and within the familiar confines of our present world.
Space Brothers, as per the title, follows the journey of 2 brothers as they aim to fulfill their childhood dream of becoming astronauts and going to the moon. It's an incredible ride of 99 (too few!) episodes, inspirational and engaging throughout. But what's truly impressive is the anime's astonishingly realistic and painstaking display of astronaut training, as well as the most enjoyable space education you'll ever get!
The great undertaking in A Place Further Than the Universe is to Antarctica. Aptly titled thus as it is indeed a place so remote and uninhabitable that it may as well be beyond Earth. Though more ambitious and less pragmatic with high school girls at the helm, it places more emphasis on the journey itself rather than the destination. What it lacks in realism it makes up with heart - and a glimpse of the icy expanses never before seen in anime!
Both have excellent characterisation, proportionate to their length and purpose. Refreshingly free of cliches, their vulnerabilities relatable and enthusiasm infectious, the characters really carry the show. (Space Brothers, in particular, excels at this despite juggling quite a large cast.)
Two unique and very worthwhile experiences.

The two shows are based on people achieving "impossible" things - going to space and Antartica. Portrayed are the hopes, difficulties and self-doubts which are encountered every step of the way. Focus is placed on the importance of having people who support you, and who you support in turn.
Both shows are grounded in reality (though Space Brothers is a lot more realistic), with well-written characters who avoid common anime tropes and archetypes. The music and production values for both is great as well! They enhance emotional scenes superbly.
Would highly recommend both shows. Very motivating and feel-good.
Here, between Uchuu kyoudai and Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho, both protagonists have a reckless dream that they want to accomplish. Even if that means throwing away everything that they do. Looked down upon and even mocked for wanting to do something different and unconventional, they do not hesitate and are excited. The overall reaching theme is to shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Both will also inspire you with their relatable passion and likable characters.
Both shows present a cast of lovable characters working hard to make their dreams of going where few have gone before a reality. Both shows feel optimistic, but Space Brothers is much more realistic than A Place Farther Than The Universe. Both shows are great for anyone looking for an uplifting and encouraging watch.
Similarly inspiring tale that tells you to strive for your dreams, and that nothing is impossible. Characters in both shows are not cardboard cutouts, but well developed and nuanced enough to feel real. And most of all, both shows have similar charm and a wonderful sense of humor that pervades everything.
Both shows make you feel so moon (If you know what I mean).
A place further than the Universe is a small those of what you experience in the 99 episodes of Space Brothers.
The stories are similar in the way that the cast is trying to fulfill a dream or escaping from the monotony of life (Getting the most out their lives will summarize it).
The characters are different in the way that one are 16-year-old high school girls and the other are 30+ years old adults. But both are amazing and feel so real. The most important part of both shows is their characters. And boy oh boy, they are the best.
Finally, the enjoyment I feel with both shows is 100/10. Every episode is packed with emotions. However, as I said, A place further than the universe is only 13 episodes and it goes straight to the point. Space brothers also goes straight to the point but takes it time to get there.read more
Both series are about regular people trying to accomplish what at first seem like impossible goals.
They both contain a lot of light-hearted moments and a sharp sense of humor, yet they don't shy away from addressing heavier emotions and obstacles in a realistic fashion.
But where these two series are the most similar, is in their being about watching incredibly endearing characters shooting for just as incredible dreams, and taking the audience along every step of their journeys.
If you liked either of these series, you are very likely to enjoy the other as well.
Both shows are very inspiring and refreshing and their passion of wanting to achieve their dreams would definitely make you want to do something great in your life too. It's like a push in the back that just fills you up with motivation.
Going to a very unlikable place, whetever it's Antarctica or Space, both of these series have a healthy balance of comedy, drama, and juggle nicely with lot of interesting antidere characters.
The way the relationship between the characters is built is very similar. The mood of the story is also very similar, from the drama to the lighter parts.
Both anime follows a group of female protagonists coming of age stories eager to explore the unknown. Comedy and Drama have a similar tone in both shows.
Both shows handle the relationships of these High School girls in a very mature and realistic manner. The character interactions are always moving as the characters all work towards maturing in their own ways.
Both main characters in the series have the same way of thinking of exploring the unknown things, both series shows how the characters develop and grow while exploring different kind of things.
-A curious and energetic group of girls explore things that they haven't done or felt before together.
-Both have happy moments, as well as moments that'll make you angry/sad.
-Pretty similar with the exception of romance in SoBasho.
Both series are coming of age tales concerning a small group of feminine protagonists. Both groups wish to make the most of their youth, and extending their understandings of the unknown. While Araburu explores more sexual themes, the comedy and tone of each series is very similar.
Both have Comedy and Drama genres. The main characters in both shows are people who are underestimated by other classmates . Even leaders in both groups are the most ridiculed. And somehow, the coloring on both shows looks rather the same. Sora yori mo Tooi Basho get more point because the characters have the same clear goals. While on Araburu, every main character has their story
Both Sound! Euphonium and A Place Further Than The Universe seem to be typical cute-girl slice-of-life shows on the surface, but in reality they are heart-felt coming of age stories that go well beyond slice of life anime (not that there is anything wrong with that genre). If you look closely, you'll notice that neither of these anime actually have the "Slice of Life" genre tag listed for them on MAL.
Both are about reaching for a goal which first seems unreachable: turning around a school's concert band program to be the best in the country, and being part of an expedition to Antarctica.
There are girls. It’s about them pursuing their dreams and achieving their goals.
The shows give off the same good vibes that make you want to go and do something with your life. Have dreams and state your goals too. Be active.
And they’re both amazing.
Hibike! Euphonium and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho both focus on a group's dreams to achieve something big together. The Pacing of both shows feel very similar as well, where one or multiple people find a "push" to put themselves into a scenario they would've otherwise avoided for fear of failure or embarrassment. However, be aware that Hibike! Euphonium is definitely more focused on drama than wholesome moments between friends.
- Both have strong casts
- Both have casts that are very realistic in their struggles and in their own characteristics
- Realistic takes on overcoming your own struggles
- In their essence, both are very motivational series
- Similar main character progression
- Linear progression
- Both have stunning visuals
- Both have great soundtracks
Hibike! and A Place Further than the Universe are both stories about students trying to find who they are and do something extraordinary. While Hibike! is more dramatic yet subdued since it revolves around a common high school club, the concert band; it is still a story about people coming together to try and do something they believe is worthwhile. It is about the struggles they all have, both in the interactions with those around them, and within themselves.
If the characters and their personal growth was the main draw of the series instead of the premise of an adventure, then Hibike! should also resonate with you. read more
Love Live! School Idol Project and Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho both have group of girls that strives hard to achieve their dream. Both anime have likable characters that you will feel attached to. Both have great adventure-themed plots, packed with good comedy, exceptional art, and great animation.
We are going to Antarctica! Let's save our school by becoming idols!
These are the two extremely unrealistic sounding goals that the groups of high school girls from these two anime have.
Both anime focus on the friendship and journey of the characters who have gathered together to reach their goal despite the opposition they might face. Both have fun character dynamics and generally positive atmosphere with plenty of comedic moments but also get serious and dramatic at times.
Both feature a high school girl who has an over-ambitious goal that no one expects her actually to do it. However, after working hard and making new friends, they hit their goal.
Both series are largely about dealing with the loss of a loved one in various ways. They are about the main characters discovering who they are and what they want to do in this world. These stories are heartwarming and heartbreaking. The characters are great, and the adventures they go on motivate you to get out and do something with your life. I enjoyed both greatly for largely similar reasons, mostly the atmosphere, the stories, and the characters.
Both are an EMOTIONAL ride from heartbreaking scenes to moments for tears of joy.
Both display LOVE in a special way that make you cry.
Both are MAGICAL throughout the entire show.
Both have STUNNING art and OST.
If you like Violet Evergarden, you will like A Place Further Than the Universe and vice versa.
- Both deal with the tragedy of losing a loved one and how they will continue living after realizing this fact.
- Both show the troubles and successes of realizing their purpose in life.
- Both have amazing OSTs and visual animations.
- Both are emotional rollercoasters.
While it's easily noticeable that one is somewhat a lighthearted comedy and the other is more drama focused, both shows deal with the loss of a loved one and the stages of grief, denial, and acceptance. Another aspect is about the stories the main characters make and the people they meet throughout their travels. Both shows are very inspiring while also giving you this "magical" feeling to it from the stunning visuals, amazing animation, and beautiful soundtracks. And most of all, both animes WILL make you cry.
Now this, this si something. Where Violet Evergarden focuses on Violet's sad journey to learn empathy, A Place Further Than The Universe focuses a little more on the heartwarming aspect of our four characters' journey towards their respective goals. The characters have some of the best chemistry I've seen in anime. And, you might ask, in what way is it similar to Violet Evergarden ? Well, if you're looking for something that hits in the feels and inspires you into doing something you wouldn't usually do or changing your perception of the world a little bit, here is what's perfect for you.
Done by the same animation studio and while that doesn't really mean much the two anime still share a lot of other common factors, such as the slice of life atmosphere and the theme about challenging yourself by following your dreams even when they seem impossible to others.
Same studio and director so they have similar vibes. Both have pretenses as simple CGDCT anime but that hides some fairly heavy character drama with episodes allocated to each character's own drama. They are both great coming-of-age dramas with a tangible focus on finding new adventure in the world and within yourself as well as putting an emphasis on the value of friendship and doing things together. Hanayamata actually has the better animation and direction of the two whilst Sora Yori has the tighter, more relatable story that reaches the heart.
Both feature a high school girl who is overly passionate about something and dragging her friends along.
Hanayamata generally has a more light-hearted approach while A Place Further Than The Universe has a more serious approach.
Both shows involve a protagonist with a lofty goal, and the group of people she ropes in to help make the dream a reality. The series' revolve around how they can achieve and realize the goal, along with the antics the groups get into along the way. They both have a sense of adventure (though Sora yori more so) and and have theme of youthful hope and achievement.
Let's go together with companions. A new age is waiting for them. This will be fun.
Both are very passionate shows in terms of ideal goals. YoriMoi is an adventure for the Antarctic. Eizouken is making anime.
Tamaki and Midori are very energetic girls. Their acts change important something in a good way. Other characters are also great.
YoriMoi is a more emotional and touching style. You make me cry. Eizouken has less emotion though, enthusiasm for make entertainment is real. Music and voice acting are stunning, too. If you loved YoriMoi essence, you will attract Eizouken. Vice versa. Check it out!
Two groups of high school girl who are working together to achieve their goal despite it sounding highly unlikely to achieve. In case of Sora Yori this goal is going to Antarctica while in Eizouken it is creating their own anime.
Goals themselves are quite different but what gives the similar feel to these two anime are relationships of the main characters; groups of girls brought together each with their own reason for reaching the common goal and they work together to achieve it despite the opposition they face on the way. Their different personaties create great interactions between them and their friendship (sorry to Eizouken girls for using that term) is really enjoyable to watch.
Both have a fair share of comedic moments and generally positive atmosphere but also get serious at times. However, Sora Yori gets much more emotional than Eizouken.
Another thing common to the two is adventure. Although used in very different ways it is a big part of both. For Sora Yori girls the adventure is their journey to get to Antarctica while for Eizuken girls the adventure is inside the imaginary worlds they create and want to share with other people. read more
A vibrant, funky cast of girls find a common goal and decide to tackle on the adventure to get to their destination together! The destinations may be different, but both shows have a very similar warm, carefree, youthful vibe to them. They also both feature absolutely gorgeous scenery.
here between Hanasaku Iroha and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho, Kimari and Ohana face brand new challenges. While Ohana was not looking for them necessarily, both girls harness their inner energy and cheerfulness to try and tackle the daunting tasks in front of them. Friendship is more present than ever as Ohana and Kimari absolutely have to not only make and keep these new friends but rely on them heavily. Ohana did not choose this journey like Kimari did, but they do both face it head on. This anime is one from P.A. Works that you cannot miss!
You like cute girls? You like it when cute girls are finding themselves and working hard to pursue their dreams in the spirit of youth? Then you will enjoy both of these series.
On top of the similar themes, both series also feature a female dominant cast with adorable character designs and animation, and beautiful photo-realistic backgrounds set in a real-world environment.
both featuring characters dealing with the hardship of their work/career. Less about the adventure but more towards experiencing new things and how they deal with it but I guess its the same thing by definition.
Antarctica…. Space… They are both pretty unreachable goals for your standard high school girl. However, both shows make them seem within grasp. A Place Further Than the Universe does this in a more believable way, but both shows excel in playing up that intoxicating sense of wonder that comes with venturing into the unknown.
I felt Shirobako was the closest anime I've seen that felt tonally similar to A Place Further Than the Universe.
All girl main cast, striving towards a goal, primarily dramatic, but has lighthearted jokes throughout the entire thing.
Both anime have cute girl.. some similar interesting and funny plot.. and both anime talk about girls chasing their dream.. and some can't decide what they want to be.. they enjoy doing things they like and accomplish something together. The touching scene are very similar as well
If you liked one, there's a high chance that you'll like the other. There's an even higher chance if you enjoyed either show for the following reasons: its cast, themes, comedy, and drama. When watching either show, you'll be hooked just by learning about each characters' ambitions and journeys. I personally thought that none of the characters were annoying; each one was great. You'll also find that the shows' themes are very similar -- if you were moved by one show, the other will likely move you too. Also, the comedy and drama overlapped in many ways.
Same initial setting, character interactions, and personalty traits. Both casts of characters try to achieve the "impossible" and reach that goal together.
In Love Live Sunshine, it's to save their school and win an Idol Competition that has gradually been difficult.
In Sora yori, they work hard to achieve a goal of making a journey to Antarctica.
If you love strong character chemistry that have similar ways of delivering it. Watch them both.
Shows with predominantly female casts in which the lead characters aspire to do something unusual or bold out of a desire to "shine" or stand out from the norm.
Character interaction and motivation, and expressiveness of the story of Love Live Sunshine are really similar with Sora yori mo tooi basho. If you like Yorimoi, I strongly recommend you to watch Love Live Sunshine and vice versa.
While neither show seems similar on the surface level, thematically they're both at turns calm and emotional slice of life shows with the main character(s) learning about themselves through venturing outside of their comfort zone.
Both, Sora yori and Idolish7 may seem as simple and forgettable shows of characters doing cute things, but in reality, both are fantastic stories with memorable characters, a well-handled balance between drama and comedy to tell the stories behind every character, and their motivations to do what they do.
They are really two of the shows that impressed me the most in this industry.
In both series the main characters are unknown from each other but they're gonna be teammates/pals to achieve one goal, they gonna be strugling to achieve that too.
Plot outside, both series touches realistic topics in a special way, praise to the direction.
Also the humor is really well handled with the emotional moments.
Both shows are about young people who want to reach their dreams.
In both shows the characters are unknown with each other but slowly they start to learn from each other.
The shows are mostly happy, but it has its dose of drama, with good ost and direction as well.
These two shows make me think about what it means to live a meaningful life, to prevent myself from wasting it, and to appreciate the people around me. The characters go through relatable struggles, they strive for what was missing in their life previously (breaking free from fear and uncertainty to go on an adventure, in the case of Mari, and making human connections, in the case of Haruki). These yearnings (whether the characters realize them or not) hit close-to-home for me, and they are some of the most inspiring stories I've seen, so I'd highly recommend both of these shows.
The main casts of Sakura Quest and Yorimoi are similar in that they are young women who meet and quickly bond by working together and overcoming hardships. But these shows are more than "cute girls doing cute things" - they inspire an appreciation for everyday life and a desire to try new things. Kimari and Yoshino both yearn to do something meaningful with their lives, and gain a new perspective through making new friends and having new experiences.
The story is also based on group of girls working together towards the same goal. All main characters are cute girls. The friendship and bonding will remind you of Sora yori mo Tooi Basho. It has it own shares of drama and comedy too.
Group of friends, outdoors, comedy and adventures, very similar both anime but with different atmosphere. They certainly convey the same feeling of tranquility and you have the same essence
Not only are both about cute girls doing cute things, they are also about discovering something you're passionate about and overcoming the fear of taking the first step forward. Both Koguma and Mari initially have little meaning in their lives, but once they take that step forward, the world opens up to them.
While Sora Yori is a bit more comedic, both have dramatic elements that keep you invested and cozy moments that make you feel warm and fuzzy.
Animated series where its dramatic aspects are hidden behind its CGDCT qualities. They start as gloomy, then wholesome, followed by somber impressions while possessing a pain-relieving sensation. Essentially, when one watches these series, they would feel an alternation between happiness and sadness.
Both stories shows the journey of young girls that go in the adventure of reaching their dreams, no matter the risks and hardship they would face.
They both give this feeling that everything is possible if you put your mind to it and work hard to succeed.
An inspirational journey of girls who met each other by chance to achieve something big together, both also resemble each other with a tender and unique art style, giving a more relaxing feeling rather than a tense one.
Both animes have a similar group of protagonists, one is a utopia, the other a dystopia. Having similarities in terms of the dramas, which in both are normally perfectly fitted together. Finally is the recommendation for those looking for well-produced anime with intriguing themes.
They are both character driven, and mainly girls in the cast. They both center around friends helping eachother reaching a goal and overcoming obstacles together.
Both anime feature a cast of mainly female leads were each of the characters overcome their own obstacles with both slice of life and dramatic elements.
Both of these shows have similar moods, character chemistry, and mood. They have their fair share of jolly and goofy moments, but aren't afraid to get a bit serious at times. K-On is less focused on characters achieving a specific goal, but both are clearly more about the journey than the destination. Character dynamics are believable and often relatable.
A girl who wants to achieve her dream despite of being disparaged, that's the main concept of both shows. If you're interested about their journey, all of their struggles, their endeavor to make sure their dreams be achieved, I recommend it.
Both have Character Development, Teens going through Puberty and Friendship problems. I would highly recommend this for those who are new to watching anime or for the people love to watch Slice of Life anime!
Very similar structure:
A Place Further than the Universe looks at the journey of 4 teenage girls making the most of their lives by doing something they collectively want to do (go on an Antarctic Expedition). It's a wholesome slice of life that shows the audience it's okay to do something on a whim and make the most of your adolescence.
Love Live! Superstar!! focuses on 5 girls who come together under one unified hobby (to be the best school idols and make a name for themselves through their love for music, performance, dance, etc). It's also a slice of life that focuses on the group dynamic of a band of cute anime girls trying to figure out how to be the best they can be
While the plots are different I'd say that both shows capture the audience in a VERY SIMILAR way and the group dynamic is almost identical in both shows.
If you liked one, you'll like the other!
Also, while the music in A Place Further than the Universe takes a slight backseat in the show, it's a phenomenal OST and it's filled with BANGERS. The ED is also sung by the main cast. read more
Both series center around exciting adventures in the antarctic and both are very wholesome. Just that "A place further than the universe" explores the exciting as well as exhausting aspects of a journey, yet Doremon on the other hand is your usual "Doraemon" theme, and it's great!
Both have the MC exploring the world
Both have beautiful art
Both have the MC wanting to achieve something
Both have amazing supporting characters
Conclusion: if you like the feel of well concluded story combined with awesome art, this is the anime for you.
Both shows give you a very similar feeling at heart. They give you a really warm-hearted adventure with struggles along the way. Both have a very similar underlying plot laced in Dr Stone ep 17 and Sora Yori ep 12. They both hit just as hard and deserved to be watched by people who love Dr Stone and people who love Sora Yori alike.
Similarities:
Both are about girls finding their own ways of coping with the death of a parent. Both give you room to appreciate the small beautiful things in life.
Differences:
Sorayori is more melancholic and less fluffy (mono no aware).
Tamayura ~hitotose~ has a coherent philosophy of kindness at the heart of it which had a big impact on my life. While Sorayori tackles the feeling of feeling lost in life I don't think that it presents a (simple) philosophy as impactful as that which Tamayura ~hitotose~ radiates in every fiber of its existence. A fellow once tweeted the following:
"I think trying to avoid social media for some week was good. I did end up going back once or so and got really down by all the shouting.
Don't get me wrong here. I love being able to connect with everyone and even felt a bit lonely not doing so...
... but ending up seeing a lot of negativity and shouting in general when I popped back kinda stressed me out a lot.
I guess I'm slowly starting to realize that while I may dislike things, I'd much rather say how much I like other. If that makes sense?
Or maybe this makes me sound like an anime character. Not sure."
To which I replied with a promotional picture of Tamayura.
and
"because it sounds like you watched Tamayura (aka my favourite series) while you were gone and absorbed the atmosphere/views!"
Turns out they did.read more
both featuring characters dealing with the hardship of their work/career. Less about the adventure but more towards experiencing new things and how they deal with it but I guess its the same thing by definition.
Yama no Susume has the outdoors theme, cute girls and a theme of overcoming indecision/maturing as a person/seishun suru! - the character relationships and characters themselves are less deep or complex but it's very enjoyable.
3-gatsu no lion and Sora yori mo Tooi Basho are two animes that utilize good writing to its fullest while also engaging the watcher in every episode. both animes use Moe/slice of life as well as impactful dramatic moments to develop each character individually and keep you coming back for more. If you are a fan of dramas or character driven anime, both of these are extremely underrated and an absolute must much.
Both have heartwhelming stories with beautfiul animation and cute girls as main characters.
If you liked Akebi-chan's Sailor Uniform, you will love A Place Further Then The Universe. The story is more mature and it's in someway extrremely relatable.
Though the subject of each anime is completely different, they both are a tale of random people achieving great things, things they never dreamed of doing, things that inspire.
Both anime are a lesson of how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. They are about a journey of a lifetime.
Both have the chill and relax vibe
Both have very pretty and therapeutic visuals
Both are about a journey and exploration; Sora Yori explores the real world as tourists, while Somali explores its own version of Wonderland
Both have a tad of a dark reason that kickstarts their adventure, yet not have the story surrounds itself on said dark reason
Shouldering a very heavy responsibility - the fate of the world - and the emotional trauma that can come from that. Being different from the other children, and not necessarily in a good way; and how their newfound powers can affect the people around them. These are some of the themes explored in both works. Moreover, they also explore the fundementals of human
both are about the main character's relationship with their mothers
the friendship between main girls is also formed on the go
both have chill CGDCT feel
both are CGDCT series
the girls from both series go on a lifechanging trip
NNB goes to okinawa
yorimoi goes to antarctica
yorimoi has more drama and emotion
The type of the anime is the same.Also the main characters in the story will have their own problem.The event of viewing and solving problems are touching.
-A group of girls who are highly motivated and strive to accomplish their dreams
-Entertaining primarily due to character interactions (both comedic and dramatic)
-Characters are consistently well-animated and move in ways that emphasize their personality traits
Tonally very similar shows. There are goofs, gaffs, dramas and tears. Ultimately they are both optimistic. Sakura has more focused on romance and on the themes of purpose whereas yorimoi is more on friendship and breaking out of your shell.
Both series focus on young people, tackling grief and other issues in their lives, facing great odds to achieve their success, accentuated with beautiful visuals and emotional soundtracks.
In Hakumei to Mikochi is two girl and in Sora Yori it is four girls, but they all spend their time in ways that are meaningful to their life and both, I believe, are great iyashikei anime.
To put it simply, both are show which tells the journey to achieve dream / ambition of main charas and how they overcome the problems that prevent they to achieve what they want (Moritaka and Takagi a.k.a Ashirogi Muto in Bakuman. and the four Girls in YoriMoi)
Both have great drama, good comedies, Realistic Main Characters, and the storyline that become more interesting the more u watch it
If you like this type of show, i'm sure you'll love both show
I'm quite puzzled that everyone is giving just default "cute" slices in recommendations.
Unlike all previous seasons this one doesn't feature a lot of cuteness and mountains, it features more actual slice of life and some character development as well as development of interactions between characters - which is what it makes probably the closest series to Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho.
Both series, taking place in a snow-covered enviornment, focus on a group of characters helping each other with their personal issues and traumas. Kanon includes harem-esque aspects and has strong elements of the supernatural, while Yorimoi remains realistic and is more of a dramatic slice-of-life.
Both series are about empowering highschool age girls to achieve their goals in fields not usually conquered by highschool age girls.
The girls in both series have similar motivations - Both series best girls have something to prove. They want to prove the world around them wrong and show that a girl of their age can and will do something that the world said they couldn't.
I feel like one thing that Madhouse took from Hunter X Hunter is that the story isn't about the destination but the journey. Because that principale shows in Sora yori mo Tooi Basho and it shows really well.
Although the overall narrative is very different, both works involve young people setting out on an adventure to a distant place, during which they face challenges that help reaffirm their core values.
Both shows feature almost completely female casts who fight against all odds to achieve their dream. Gunbuster's lead character, Noriko, has the same types of goals and ambitions as the girls in A Place Further Than the Universe. Rather than going to Antarctica, however, Noriko is training to be a mecha pilot in space.
Gunbuster deals with more adult themes, but the two shows seem very spiritually connected.
not similar in art style
or characters
or story
or even music
the only thing that i see is similar with is that both of them are slice-of-life shows involving similar themes of self-discovery and self-challenge
witch is it for me something rare to see in an anime's in this time
Both focus on a group of high-schoolers who work together to reach a goal deemed impossible by peers.
Robotics;Notes does not have as much character drama, but drama still exists.
Akiho (the female lead of Robotics;Notes) bears many similarities in personality to both Kimari and Shirase.
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho was a little disappointing with its pacing.
Robotics;Notes is paced better, and its longer runtime allows it to have a more complex plot that I personally enjoyed.
Also, FYI, Robotics;Notes is related to Steins;Gate but so loosely that your Steins;Gate watch status is not important.
This work really reminds me of Angel Beats!'s spirit. Although the plot has nothing to do, the kind of humour is quite similar (crazy, but not absurd). The characters are very charismatic and they have their own little trouble. Also, once in a while, this piece offers you some sad and dramatic moments.
