Anime Review: A Place Further than the Universe
Despite the absolute mouthful of a title, APFU (as I’ll be calling it) is one of the best shows of the decade.

This review is meant to be for the first week of posts, the week of 9/21. Hey everyone. This review is going to be a little different than the usual ones. Because of the nature of this show, the spoilers will ruin the entire thing. If you haven’t seen this show yet, please go watch it. You won’t regret it. It’s a masterpiece of animation and storytelling that just might change your life – it sure changed mine. It’s incredible and I seriously recommend you watch it. From this point forward, THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Good god. So, you’ve watched it. How many tissues did you go through?…
