Kadokawa Announces “A Place Further Than the Universe” Anime

Written By Samantha Ferreira July 2, 2017

So, what do we reach when we go further than the universe…?

Earlier today, Kadokawa announced that they are producing a new anime project, titled A Place Further Than the Universe. The series is an original project from Madhouse.

Kadokawa unveiled a visual for the project, which you can check out below.

A Place Further Than the Universe will be directed by Atsuko Ishizuka (No Game, No Life, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou), with Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Ninja Scroll, Trigun) providing character designs. Jukki Hanada (Love Live! School idol project, Steins;Gate) is in charge of series composition.

Kadokawa describes the title as:

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 degrees angle
Raging, 50 degrees angle
Shouting, 60 degrees angle
A wilderness beyond the heavy sea
The furthest south, far from the civilization
At the top of the Earth
We will find lights through the girls’ eyes to live tomorrow
