Cool WEPcord thing underway, a rewatch of A Place Further Than The Universe! So I’ve just rewatched episode 1 - streamed to like 30 people even - and it’s such a delightfully charming time. It’s such a strong production for a start - absolutely gorgeous visuals, amazing voice acting, and some of the best insert songs I’ve ever heard - the direction is super evocative and also has a really nice emphasis on visual comedy that keeps the show feeling nice and light, it’s just a fucking great time all around. And then Shirase’s arc’s been set up perfectly - I particularly like that she makes it very clear how big a part spite plays in her getting to Antarctica - she wants to say “zamamiro!” to the people who told her she couldn’t do it, and by god will she. Fuckin phenomenal show, absolute one of my favourites ever.
