I’ve noticed going to cons with my kid that a lot of the youth of today are more into Japanese anime more than American superheroes. And people wonder why the cultural shift. Part of it is that anime is more than superheroes. There are normal people being animated with adventures. A Place Further Than The Universe is about a group of girls that end up in the most extreme and coldest part of the world. How will they handle it? The anime series was a hit when it was released. Now the series is coming to Blu-ray at the end of April. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:

A Place Further Than The Universe | Series Overview
Scenery that we have never seen. Sounds that we have never heard. Scent that we have never smelled. Food that we have never tasted. And the surge of emotion that we have never experienced. This is the expedition of recollecting the pieces torn apart and sensation left alone. When we reach that place, what will we think?
Howling, 40 degree angle. Raging, 50 degree angle. Shouting, 60 degree angle. A wilderness beyond the heavy sea. The furthest south, far from civilization. At the top of the Earth. We will find lights through the girls’ eyes to live tomorrow.
