I was going to write a “Winter 2017\/18 wrapup” post, but then I realized that it would be almost entirely about Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho<\/em>. This show has been unexpectedly good, refining the “genre” of cute-girls-do-cute-things to focus solely on the characters, making it seem a hell of a lot more meaningful than all of its otaku-pandering peers. Its depiction of a growing friendship was very heavy-handed at times, but never pointless. From the girls running in Shibuya to overcoming their past regrets in Antarctica, every moment felt like a tangible increase in their friendship levels.<\/p>\n

At the start of this episode, I was planning on giving the show a 9\/10. I kept thinking about the quick resolution to Shirase’s plot in the last episode<\/a>, and it just felt so jarring compared to the incredible amount of time they spent saying goodbye in this one. Yet I felt emotions welling up as the episode went on, and I realized that I would be missing this show dearly. I’m not going to remember the plot of\u00a0A Place Further Than The Universe<\/em>\u00a0(in true CGDCT spirit, there wasn’t much), but the characters are going to stick around in my memory for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
