Hello everyone~! This is Boss from Otaku Republic.

Well, as the seasons change from summer to fall, it's finally time for the new anime releases starting in October! So, this time I'd like to introduce a fall anime work! Something that's now considered common sense, but in the past...... it wasn't like that at all~!
[2024 Fall Anime] A Soulful Story of the People Who Risked Their Lives to Pursue the Heliocentric Theory, Once Considered Heretical. “Orb: On the Movements of the Earth” Starts Moving as a Fall Anime This Year......!

Pursuing the truth, with the price being “life.”
The story of people who risked their lives to unravel the once-heretical heliocentric theory is finally airing as an anime!


Hello everyone~! This title is pretty unique and impressive, isn't it? I'm Saori from Otaku Republic. It's getting animated, huh? That's exciting!


By the way, Saori, do you know about the heliocentric and geocentric theories?

I know! Well...... sort of! It's about whether the Earth is revolving or if the world (the universe) is revolving during celestial cycles, right?

That's pretty much it. So, which one is considered correct?

It's the heliocentric theory, right! It's not the universe that's revolving, but the Earth!

Exactly. Though recent studies suggest that the geocentric theory might also hold some truth...... as general knowledge today, the heliocentric theory is considered correct.

In the world of 'Orb: On the Movements of the Earth,' both the heliocentric and geocentric theories were topics of discussion. However, during that era, the geocentric theory was deemed correct, and the heliocentric theory was considered so unfamiliar that it was heretical.


In 15th-century Europe, where the geocentric theory was widely supported, those who held heretical views were reported and burned at the stake. Yet, amidst all this, there were some who had started 'realizing' that maybe the geocentric theory wasn't right, and that the heliocentric theory might be the truth.


But those with heretical views would be burned at the stake if they were caught, right?

Yes. But they were starting to believe that the heliocentric theory might be the real truth. 'Orb: On the Movements of the Earth' is a story about people who pursued the truth, rather than what was accepted as correct. As the times changed, more people got involved, and they eventually reached a conclusion. The original manga was completed in 2022 with 8 volumes, so I have a feeling the anime will beautifully adapt the final chapter of the manga!


Well, in actual history, it seems heretics weren't treated quite as harshly, but this anime offers a great opportunity to learn about both the heliocentric and geocentric theories. I personally highly recommend it! Be sure to check out 'Orb: On the Movements of the Earth' when it starts airing in October!
