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!

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.

I don't know why modern writers love so much rewriting history so it fits their narrative. Copernicus worked for Church most of his life, he sent his works to the Pope. Also with scene about burning heretics, it did not happen. There were some witch hunts, but they were neighbour against neighbour where some blamed the other, not Church being like Communists or Nazis and looking around trying to find heretics to burn. Life of Copernicus is very interesting, idk why Japanese feel the need to change it all so it becomes interesting? It all feels sad, that there is portrayal of my country and they do such a bad job about it and people everywhere are praising it as historic media.
