When I first entered the streaming era, I thought that I would not need to buy DVD/BD in the future, because what I want to watch should be available on the Internet in the future, but after a few years, my My thoughts gradually changed again, because the authorization of these works has a deadline, and after the expiration, they may not be put on the shelves again, and even my own original works may be taken off the shelves, so I slowly began to have a few works in my heart , I think I should collect a physical version, the judgment standard is my personal subjective, but there is a relatively clear condition, that is, I hope my son can read it when he grows up. In fact, there are not many works in this list. , and there are very few new additions, but just recently added a new one: ” A Place Farther Than the Universe “, referred to as よりもい(yorimoi).
I have always heard good reviews about this. My first impression is that it belongs to the kind of daily works of “a group of girls to complete one thing”. In fact, I didn’t understand it deeply before watching it. I thought it was a group of female high school students because For the longing for Antarctica, try to find a way to travel to Antarctica. After all, many works of this type show the interesting lives of the protagonists like a running account. Although such daily works are also very interesting, they will be more like passing time. If you use it, you may forget it after reading it for a while.
As a result, after watching よりもい, my first thought was: “It’s so good that I have seen this work.” I am also very lucky to be able to survive without being pinched for nearly five years after the work came out. After reading this work. In fact, these days, because my child went to summer vacation, I have a lot of time to catch up on the things I didn’t have time to watch before. I watched a lot of good works, and I also recorded some experiences on Twitter, but よりもい is the first one for me. I especially want to write an article to record it, because what he brings to me is not how beautiful the scenery is or how interesting the plot is, but more profound, the growth and self-breakthrough of several characters in the story.
There is a plot below. If you haven’t watched it, it is recommended to avoid it, or you can turn to YouTube. Huiyu has a relatively non-spoiler push-pit video .

Although the main axis of the plot is to go to the South Pole, the core of the story is actually growth, and each character has a clear growth goal, which is not something far-fetched, so whenever someone has a self-breakthrough, the audience can really feel it To: Xiaojue (キマリ, kimari) want to be more independent and no longer rely on relatives and friends; Baoyan (しらせ, shirase) needs to get out of the psychological shadow of his mother’s death (?); I will skip the part about Hinata first, Her part came quickly and quickly. Although it was laid out earlier, I never paid attention to it. Later, I felt that it was an attack by the screenwriter on the audience, but fortunately, there was this part, which made all the behavior of this character change. It is more reasonable; Jieyue wants to make friends, but she doesn’t even know how to be a friend. Here, I also like Xiaojue’s use of Line to describe the friend in her heart.
The climax of the story is, of course, the part of Bao Lai who only wanted to go to Antarctica from the beginning. Her mother disappeared in Antarctica three years ago (the body was not found, but it can be said to be equivalent to death), because the mission to Antarctica is a For several months, she was already living with her grandmother while waiting for her mother to come back. Her mother disappeared, and her life did not change much. As a result, she did not have the real feeling that her mother had passed away, so she always wanted to go to Antarctica to confirm whether her mother was real. In the play, she also sent letters to her mother from time to time. Finally, they finally arrived at the inland base. Xiao Jue and the others found Baose’s mother’s laptop in the base. Baose turned on the computer, and the receiving software followed. Starting and receiving letters, including the letters she sent to her mother. With the increase of unread letters, Baoze finally realized the fact that her mother passed away and cried a lot.
In fact, when I was young, I always thought that wedding and funeral ceremonies were very troublesome, but when I grew up, my thinking changed with my experience. I found that these things actually exist for the heart, because the heart has inertia. The loss of important things, people can always escape and pretend that it didn’t happen, so there is a need for these rituals. With the abruptness of these rituals, people can truly realize that the next thing is different, no matter what It is because there are fewer existences in life, or there are more important people. For Bao Lai, at that time, it was really the ceremony of saying goodbye to her mother.
There are still many small details that I like very much in the story, such as the origin of the nicknameキマリ, but this nickname does not match her personality; the pronunciation of the newspaper (しらせ) is actually the same as the name of the icebreaker Shirase (retired in the play It is the same as before in the real world), and the Showa base and the Shirase icebreaker are actually still used in Japan, and both of them look the same as the real one. Go to the website of the Polar Research Institute of Japan and you can see it from the beginning. Aerial shots at the base; and why it is colder when going to the inland. Although I didn’t say it clearly, but I want to build an observatory there, it should be at a much higher altitude. Japan has actually established a base in Fuji Ice Dome for scientific research. , the altitude over there is 3810 meters, 1,000 kilometers away from the Showa base, and the temperature is much lower; the mailboxes on the Shirase and the Showa base are still in operation, and there are always special postmarks, and related The report seems to be updated all the time. I’m not sure if it’s a new pattern every year. I also found the special postmark announcement of the Japan Post Office last year; finally, I also checked the observation team members in those years, and found nothing similar to animation production. Those who are related, the Polar Research Institute should provide the photos to the animation company.
I also found some interesting information. There are four Japanese Antarctic observation ships:
- First Generation: Soya (
- 2nd generation: ふじ
- 3rd generation: しらせ (first generation)
- 4th generation: しらせ (2nd generation)
Actually, I felt a little strange at first, why is the fourth generation still called しらせ instead of changing the name? It was later discovered that Japan’s first Antarctic explorer was called Shirase Nobu, so the inheritance of the name しらせ is actually longer than I thought at first.
The other is that someone in the Japanese Antarctic Observation Team was indeed killed , and the remains were not discovered until eight years later. I can imagine how difficult and dangerous the area is, and then I remembered that I went to the Antarctic Center in New Zealand a few years ago. There is a facility in it that allows people to experience blizzards. Although extra thick winter clothing is provided, the temperature It was extremely low, and even with the wind blowing all the time, the body temperature still dropped very quickly.
