Shirase's smile is so alluring :3

I'm enjoying the character chemistry a lot in this show. It's nice to see also the other girls going around town and having their own moments. Just very entertaining stuff. Also nice to see Miyake joining the crew.

Also, the opening song is slowly becoming one of my favorites this season. I just love the style of it.

The girls making a fool out of themselves was funny to watch.
Still it looks like they might get help after all tho the question is what will they have to do for it.
That shoe flew very high tho.

Loved it even more than the first episode.

Hinata is really fun and her natural chemistry with Mari is great to watch. It's like they know each other since birth.

I loved how they draw the running part, particularly Hinata, and the humor is on point.

It looks like a cute girl show done right.

Boobs in Motion! And "idol" girl on board.

Jokes aside, this was actually very good episode, and especially that running part was great.

Also...

This show is getting dangerously interesting.

The attempted seduction part was pretty funny

Still not sure what to make of this plot-wise but it has potential I guess?

Loved it!.

Lots of different moods throughout funny, uplifting and emotional. Great chemistry between the 3 of them all with different characteristics, but none too OTT.

I wonder how the 4th girl will join, she seemed a little lonely at the end.

This is fantastic, great follow up. Madhouse is really nailing this one. XD

I actually thought there was gonna be some drama when Shirase got mad at Kimari but I'm glad it was resolved fast and simply.

Hinata is great, I love her already and I absolutely love the way she occasionally teases Kimari and Shirase, though she's much harder on the latter and it gets even better when Kimari and her team up to tease Shirase or blame her. XD
I also really liked how she mentioned that Kimari and Shirase had a sort of different vibe about them. Her feeling of not wanting to be one among the herd is quite relatable to me.

The beginning to the Kabuchiko district was hilarious, Kimari with the old school seduction and Shirase with the bow had me laughing so much. XD
The running scenes were absolutely fantastic, I loved them. There was just something really charming about it and the way Kimari started laughing and mentioning that this encounter was finally making her feel like her youth was in motion.
"Like anything could happen"
"Like I could make anything happen"
"The scenery that surrounds me every day is changing at a dizzying rate"
The whole thing had me grinning. :D <3

Also, it was hilarious how Hinata was trying to hide with those drinking women. XD

Madhouse putting their Prince of Stride skills to good use here. XD

Love the ED. <3

If this continues like this, it might shape up to be one of my favorite shows of this season.

Maigawd, these girls are so fun to watch! <33 Very relaxing yet fun chemistry among these 3 girls. :) Hinata-chan is so nice and very easy to get along with. :3 Their adventure at Kabukicho was pretty damn funny. xDD

There are a couple more anime I'm waiting for from this season but this show is already my most favorite. :D

The new episode of A Place Further Than The Universe was pretty good. There was solid chemistry and good fun with the three main characters with the seducing and running scene. Right now, I am just eager to see them get on board the ship so we can see these characters shine with possibly greater characterization.

If it takes so many episodes for them to board, that will become a problem for this anime. I really want the story to turn crazy as soon as possible. The cute girl doing cute things aspect is not going to hold me for much episodes.

I love, love, LOVE this show. I can't remember the last time I smiled and laughed throughout an episode like this. The running scene, especially. When Mari felt that all that fear and motion were actually fun, I cried a little, because I'll soon be moving out of the country indefinitely and I've never even moved out of my city! So all that anxiety and anticipation really talked to me. Also the character presentation on this show is one of the best ones I've ever seen. Episode 2 and I already know who they are! This is so much fun to watch, I hope it only grows with the season. 10/10

With Hinata's inclusion, the show gets a sudden increase in humor. The character interactions are pretty good so far and the animation quality is top-notch. I think Mari will be the balance between Shirase's ambition and Hinata's quirkiness, as well as offering new insights on how the Antarctica expedition will be realized.

Hmm it will make sense that the passengers will board the ship at a halfway point i guess. So Shirase and Mari plan to board the ship by joining the civilian expedition then smart plan. Funny how the job that Shirase found was the one that Mari came to warn her about though. But the news about the expedition's struggles must be worrying for them. Hinata's ability to act out Mari and Shirase's convo though was impressive. But Hina's reason for wanting to join was interesting. Its nice seeing Mari hit off that well with Hina though. Despite trying to act mature Shirase gets spooked quite easily though. Funny how their plan turned into a chase though Shinjuku though. Too bad that this plan of theirs failed but looks like their desire to continue is still strong.

Looks like getting ready to go to Antarctica is tough. Hinata is a fun character. She's quite energetic and is eager to travel with Shirase and Mari. The girls running away from the two other girls was amusing. That was a great scene.

While the first episode was pretty good, the second episode was even better in my opinion. Now with Hinata on board with Shirase and Mari's plan, their hectic adventure in Kabukicho was pure fun and had me grinning and laughing a lot.

The chemistry of the characters are already strong and the production values for this episode from the staff at Madhouse and others who helped out are already making this show a visually pleasing one too. =)

We saw the fourth main girl introduced lightly in this episode as well, so I'm looking forward to see how she eventually interacts with our trio. =D

I had a smile on my face the entire time. Hinata is a great addition and I like that she's smart, but not in the typical anime kind of way. She fits in well with the crew.

Aw what a dick tease, last episode made it seem like they were already going! XD Well I guess it makes sense they'd need to gather money and supplies and whatnot. And pickup another of the girls. Hinata's a welcome addition. Very nice assets. XD Also a very nice little chase scene in....was it Shinjuku they said? Regardless there was a lot of, ahem, nice bouncing going on shall we say? XD I know they weren't trying to be, but the two older girls were huge bitches for not immediately letting them go! I'm guessing that fourth girl with them on the train at the end will be key for that. I'm also guessing she's the younger sister of that other girl who showed up with the older ones at the end.

Also, if Shirase's mom really isn't dead she better have a damn good reason for not contacting her daughter in so long!

Man, I really like this show. They are doing a great job with the music and the whole running sequence was beautifully animated.

The characters are likeable and relatable. The character chemistry is great as, with the introduction of Hinata, we have 3 characters with 3 different personalities, it's fun to see them interact.

I am more interested to see how the other three end up joining her! They need a leader right now! I mean she could be their trump card! Because it looked like her mother (according to the official website, the woman is listed as her mother) is going to be one of the sponsors for the expedition.

The second episode didn't disappoint too. Hinata is a great addition to the cast, really some entertaining interaction between her and the other two.

To top it off there was even a chase scene :P Looking forward to how this show goes on.

I'm not sure about that. Kimari and Hinata made an instant duo, working on a similar wavelength so to speak. Their interaction made Shirase look like a third wheel in some scenes, actually. Not sure how that's gonna work out going forward. Maybe the new girl will have better chemistry with Shirase to balance things out or Shirase will be the odd one out. We'll have to see.

Hmm... the last episode they made it seem like they already left while in this episode they they took two steps back... really dunno how to feel about that. On the one hand it's good they at least try to think everything through, on the other hand they made one needlessly crazy episode on run with only few key points towards the end (the new girl Shiraishi being the daughter of main sponsor and Hinata joing the group).

Seems like it would take two more eps or more before they finally leave probably. I was not really fun of the forced comedy this time as by it they undermined the good things from the execellent last ep. Well, gotta hope the next episode would be better.

This episode started sedate but turned frantic. Very entertaining stuff. I like the new girl Hinata, and I see we have a glimpse of the 4th MC during the meetup and on the train. She might be how they end up on the expedition.

Inori is great in this. She's come along way since her early main roles as Chino and Noel, and those were good, but mainly focused on cute. She can do some serious work too.

You didn't really expect them to leave in the first episode right? That's some unrealistic expectations right there. They were just scouting out the boat. Plus, the other girls hadn't joined yet.

Forced comedy? I don't see how.

Hmm, looks like maybe I was the only one who thought they already left to Antartica by boat by the end of first episode. Anyway this episode gave me good sense where this show is trying lead to..
Pretty alright episode overall. There was quite energetic action unleashed by the girls and.. they actually now got permission to join the expedition. (I really guessing her mother is dead.. interesting situation will be what if they(or even any one of them) discover that before entering Antartica?) [because both Tamaki and Shirase have different reason to go Antarctica]
