Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

In short, it has many interesting arguments regarding philosophy, Orb = God + Catholic Church dark ages + Poland + Heliocentrism + afterlife Don’t get too attached to your favorite character, no one stays after the timeline stretch, mostly died brutally 😭 Hope you like this work as I do!

My heart tanked 17:25 to 20:11 💔🕯️ So rare to see anime like this these days, so much depth! 10:12 to 16:03 probably one of my favourite conversation, similar to the previous martyrdom but this one hit especially harder

BRO... that was brutal!! it's really hard to stomach while i was watching that scene. Nowak's pragmatism is somehow scarier than fanaticism. and I gasped when nowak's right behind oczy again. i'm scared for the next episodes.

I'm just watching this because I got some free time and this is on my list for a while and DAMN! This is peak, I should watch this earlier. It has great animation and great story. I will finish this anime. Rafal is a great character, he smart and rational but when I started to get a hang on him... He died (sorry for the spoiler). This anime has a lot of philosophy and a great watch with family (if you want to). I really enjoy this anime and I'm pretty sure you guys will like it too (sorry if I'm yap to much).

A bit of bias towards the soundtrack, I must admit. However, for a series that portrays itself from the onset as a historical drama about astronomy. It becomes a story about heresy. Then philosophy. Then faith. Then the transmission of knowledge like a baton in a relay race. And somewhere along the way, it realizes that its true subject is neither the Earth nor the heavens, but human curiosity itself and that constant reinvention of perspective is not a bad thing. It encourages us to challenge the notion “That is impossible,”. Because taking that step may allow us to really glimpse into that 'impossible' someday. Of course, there is a disconnect between arcs that may leave people feeling disatisfied. Nevertheless, great show.

A great start for this anime

Very introductory episode, quite exciting; the characters that this new arc is introducing seem very interesting. I like the way u actually feel the passage of time, the world has changed a lot from the previous arc

Love to see the character development of Badeni, rare fight scene pretty well done ,am really excited to see how the story is going to proceed from cuz our protagonists seem to be done for, spectacular dialogue, one of the only the shows that manages not to bore u even though it's 90% dialogue really goes to show how good the pacing is

Really liked this episode mainly because I love the antagonist, and we see him return to the screen, the last 5 minutes were also peak,Nowak is most definitely my favorite villain of this year.

Nothing much to say about this episode, since it seems like a setup for the events that are about to take place in the next episodes, although they did slow down the pacing, it felt like the introduction to the last important characters.

i swear badeni is a perfect character

The most thrilling, most interesting anime and its a show about proving heliocentrism. I went into this blindly and I am so glad that I did.

eh god

Great anime, deserve to be the best anime for a lot of people. The philosophical exploration of this anime surpasses all other works in recent time. While a series usually explore 1 or 2 greatly, this series explore a lot more than that. The heights of this anime is super high, and the lows are acceptable as well. Its definitely recommended to experience this story at least once fully if you have the interest in learning about philosophy.

In a way, the last 2 episode was a epilogue of sorts. Due to the nature of the story, the writing has to tie back to reality and the reality is human curiosity is bound to discover heliocentrism even if it's just an inspiration or a mention of someone else's work. Of course due to the heavy weight writing and time put into the other characters, the final 2 in no way live up to what they have delivered. Quite fitting end but not the best i'd say.

Cautiously optimistic about how they will wrap the whole season with 1 more episode. Seeing Rafal back is great but how will this final MC live up to all the past episodes & stories that has happen?

I have no enemies. So glad we have that scene with Novak, brings the best MC back for one last round. That scene of Novak praying for Yolenta is so powerful, and emotional. The conclusion of every arc of main character has been the best episodes of Orb !

And so the tables turn, for profit and for control. What a power move from Antoni, completely undermine his father's and Nowak work, without even having to move anything, and if succeed, he would profit and be the person that brings the church back into popularity.

There's always that one character that everyone will hate, regardless of his belief. We found the Danzo (Naruto) of Orb. Fucking Frei man. HYPE FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!

Every episode the story actually progresses at an amazing pace, no filler, all information is something for the audience to learn or know. Goodbye Yolenta, its upsetting that there won't be a meet with Novak.
