*sobs* You're right, king.

Rafal was so young, he had his whole life ahead of him and a bright academic career.

But instead of hiding, denying his beliefs to save his life, he decided to speak openly about what he believed. Because he was inspired by someone, by the universe, by the beautiful starry sky.

Some may think that he was stupid. That he could have lied and continued his research proving heliocentrism in hiding. But he learned the truth and experienced a change that did not allow him to turn back.

He was simply brave.

Now he will inspire others. His sacrifice in the name of the idea will not be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, Rafal. I hope you can still admire the sky and smile at the thought that you have been proven right.

Hats off to the team managing Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

SPOILERS FOR VOL 1/EP 3 UNDER CUT

I love how all the anime marketing, the OP and ED etc, bills Rafal as the MC, so the fact that he dies in ep 3 hit like a truck—it was such a cool bait and switch and really emphasizes that these are dangerous times for people pursuing the 'heresy' of heliocentrism

[niinnyu]

I'm normal about this show i swear (lie)

[empty-dream]

Meanwhile, the sun stands still, and the individual planets move in sequence. The cosmos is unified under a single order. Common sense is overturned. The Church is enraged. Reason and beauty become one. That is my research.

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth episode 01. Heliocentrism, how about it?

First Impression: Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

Rafal is a child prodigy in the 15th century in a country named P, at a time when people thought differently about many things. Back then, theology was considered the most important field of study. Naturally, this is the field that Rafal will dedicate his life to, not because he considers it noble but simply because he sees it as the easiest way to move up in the world. His teacher highly approves of his choice, and after that his future seems to be set in stone. But all this gets shaken up when he meets a recanted heretic called Hubert. This mysterious man doesn’t wait long before bluntly stating that he hasn’t recanted at all. He intends to make Rafal his apprentice in his study of heliocentrism. Despite the bloody persecution of those who hold those beliefs, Hubert feels drawn to the beautiful truth of this view. He emphasizes its beauty first and foremost and convinces Rafal to see things the same way. Beauty might touch our souls, but it does little to protect us from torture and burning at the stake. To remedy this issue, Rafal knows a little trick that’ll help increase his odds of survival: you can lie about what you believe. This might work out for now, but will it keep him safe as he dives further into Hubert’s heretical theory?

Drama Anime (Fall 2024)

Uzumaki: Spiral into Horror (4 eps)

In the town of Kurouzu-cho, Kirie Goshima lives a fairly normal life with her family. As she walks to the train station one day to meet her boyfriend, Shuuichi Saito, she sees his father staring at a snail shell in an alley. Thinking nothing of it, she mentions the incident to Shuuichi, who says that his father has been acting weird lately. Shuuichi reveals his rising desire to leave the town with Kirie, saying that the town is infected with spirals.

But his father's obsession with the shape soon proves deadly, beginning a chain of horrific and unexplainable events that causes the residents of Kurouzu-cho to spiral into madness. (MyAnimeList)

Another anime with lots of hype this season. It's only 4 eps so even if it's not great, it's not long. It is definitely freaky to look at, don't watch while eating.

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

In 15th century Poland, heretics are being burned at the stake. Rafal, a brilliant young man, is expected to enter university at an early age and study the era’s most important field, theology. But Rafal values Reason above all else, which leads him both to the shocking conclusion that the Earth orbits the Sun, and into the hands of the Inquisition! (LiveChart)

15th century Poland!! You don't see anime like this hardly ever. Oh boy I hope it's good and has at least a touch of historical accuracy... please? Studio MADHOUSE is making this one so I have expectations it'll at least look cool. First 2 eps go hard btw.

The story follows Tsunehiro Sasaki, a depressed college student burdened with debt and being told that he only has two years left to live. After falling into the sea while on the run from debt collectors, Tsunehiro is rescued by friends Hana and Takaaki and soon becomes hooked on fishing himself. (MyAnimeList)

I thought the cute pink hair guy was the main character with cancer, but it's actually the black hair guy. Pink hair guy IS however, a softhearted himbo so I love him nonetheless. Also a realistic diverse cast of women with personalities in this anime.

Fureru. (movie)

Aki, Ryo, and Yuta, childhood friends who grew up on the same island, are 20 years old and start living together in Takadanobaba, Tokyo. Even though their living environments are different: part-timer at a bar, salesperson at a real estate company, and student at a vocational school for clothing designers, the three are always connected in their hearts. The reason is, the mysterious creatures brought from the island, Touch, have mysterious powers similar to telepathy that connect them with different hobbies and personalities. The friendship between the three should continue, but they discover another hidden power of touch... (MyAnimeList)

Poster alone made me think it might be gay, and then the last sentence of the synopsis also seems gay. But the trailer portrays them as just friends so don't get your hopes up.

Orb: On The Movements Of The Earth

I cannot stress enough how anyone with even little wonder about the cosmos needs to watch/read this.

I'm filled with awe and gratefulness and frustration and hope and rage and love and joy about the knowledge we have today and the leaps and bounds we've made in our understanding of the universe as a species.
