Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite

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.

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 has been some time since I had seen work of such fine quality and exquisite casting, seasonal work as yet unfinished; What I saw was enough to surprise me. Awesome production and deep dialogues with a brilliant embodiment of the eras of church tyranny, and the escalation of the story in interesting new dimensions, and it is the first time I see a work in which the idea is to carry the banner of heroism. "Chi: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite" is a masterpiece that seamlessly combines science, philosophy, and humanity. The anime's thought-provoking narrative explores humanity's relentless pursuit of truth, often against the odds of societal norms and ignorance. Its beautifully crafted animation and rich character development immerse viewers in a historical yet timeless journey. Chi isn't just a story-it's an ode to the courage of intellectual curiosity and the unwavering human spirit to understand the universe. A truly inspiring and intellectually rewarding experience!

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.

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.
