The Aurora

📖 SYNOPSIS

Hiroshi Ibuki, a deep-sea archeologist, leads a team exploring the ocean's depths in search of Earth's origins. Their excavation uncovers a mysterious colony of ancient bacteria that emits light reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis. Upon revival, this primordial life form begins a process to transform the planet, aiming to make it habitable for themselves. This transformation, however, poses a dire threat to all current life on Earth, as it would effectively revert the planet to its early, primal state. The anime explores themes of scientific discovery, the fragility of life, and the potential consequences of tampering with ancient forces. The story focuses on the conflict between the archeologists' pursuit of knowledge and the destructive power they have unleashed.
