Ketzer - Tödliches Wissen über die Bewegungen der Erde

Imagine the world where we humans still believed God and they lived on the religion.

Imagine the world most of you don't have even an access to the book or any written source.

Imagine among that majority, there were some handful number of people wanted to "know" the truth of the world and pursue science.

This anime gives you a sense of how human moved the history and evolved. The source of their motivation was very pure. They don't have Google or Facebook. Even reading and writing are the special skill.

That's why, if you can imagine that, you will be touched. Human pure curiosity is very powerful.

It is very philosophical anime and great for adults.

Just a friendly reminder: this show is labeled as fiction and was never intended to be historically accurate. The plot summaries on IMDb and MAL don't explicitly address this point. To emphasize its fictional nature and alternative universe setting, the author deliberately uses terms like "P Country" and "C Religion" in the first seven volumes of the manga.

If you're wondering why the events in these volumes don't align with historical facts, it's because the author intentionally crafted the story this way.

As for why the church in the show aggressively opposes heliocentrism-a stance that doesn't reflect actual history-this will be explained later in the story.

Ever since I saw the first PV for Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, I've been cautiously optimistic that this could be a sleeper hit of the Fall season. Animated by Madhouse (HunterxHunter, Frieren), Orb is dazzling to behold. The night skies and warm colors are captivating, and the characters' motivations and actions are clear, convincing, and wonderfully fleshed out. The music by Kensuke Ushio adds a layer to the show that helps the emotions hit harder and the scenery pop!

As a 25 episode anime, I'm hopeful we will get a full adaptation of this award winning manga! If you are interested in character-driven, emotionally hard-hitting anime like Vinland Saga or Frieren, give Orb a try and enjoy the ride!

It is one of the few truly inspiring shows that shows what the power of Truth means. It puts the idea front and center.

It manages to show what poeple like Marie Curie or other people who gave thier life for science must have gone through.

The art style is beautiful when it wants to be beautiful.

Each and every characters are thoughtfully written. Only show where almost everyone goes through the phases from an "initial purpose/perception", the "happenings" and the character development/conclusion.

It shows the darkest times, with the brightest individuals.

It is an instant classic, and this the series for you if you are looking for something short but exhilarating.

First of all, as the original author has already stated, this is a complete work of fiction. It may be unpleasant to see religion portrayed as evil, but if you watch to the end, you will understand that this is not actually the case , and also reminded me of the wonderfulness of religion. In an interview, the author said that he wanted to depict "intelligence and violence." violence does not necessarily mean physical violence like that of the Inquisition. Just as one sacrifices people for one's research, intelligence and violence are not polar opposites. It is very interesting that this story also includes modern economic thought from the 15th century onwards. In addition, the author said that he wrote the story on the theme of "A life where you have something to risk your life for is a happy one." I send my love to this honest author, who is only 26 years old. It's not flashy action or a fun romantic comedy, but I highly recommend it.
