Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite

It is one of the few truly inspiring shows that shows what the power of Truth means. It puts the idea front and center.

It manages to show what poeple like Marie Curie or other people who gave thier life for science must have gone through.

The art style is beautiful when it wants to be beautiful.

Each and every characters are thoughtfully written. Only show where almost everyone goes through the phases from an "initial purpose/perception", the "happenings" and the character development/conclusion.

It shows the darkest times, with the brightest individuals.

It is an instant classic, and this the series for you if you are looking for something short but exhilarating.

As a historical fiction, this is a fairly accurate depiction of how the church controlled the narrative through violence.

All the supposed witches who were burned and drowned, all the scientists who were executed are not forgotten. This is a tribute to those who gave up their life gladly so that we can pursue the truth.

Even though it is fiction, the situation depicted here is fairly accurate for majority who pursued science in the face of persecussion by the church. The fact that the church had an "Index of Forbidden Books", a changing list of publications deemed heretical or contrary to morality, makes it harder for the audience to take this as a fiction. The anime did a great job depicting that time period.

Just a friendly reminder: this show is labeled as fiction and was never intended to be historically accurate. The plot summaries on IMDb and MAL don't explicitly address this point. To emphasize its fictional nature and alternative universe setting, the author deliberately uses terms like "P Country" and "C Religion" in the first seven volumes of the manga.

If you're wondering why the events in these volumes don't align with historical facts, it's because the author intentionally crafted the story this way.

As for why the church in the show aggressively opposes heliocentrism-a stance that doesn't reflect actual history-this will be explained later in the story.

I agree that it is not historically correct, but honestly i don't give a damn, it made me cry in the first three episodes.

I love the idea of knowledge fighting against reason in such a romantic way, furthermore it is not clearly said that it wants to represent Copernico history, so i don't understand why people are complaining about it.

Copernico and Heliocentrism were surely of inspiration for the story, but what matters at the end is the quality and the message of the story, not if it is "historically correct".

I liked it and i would watch it again.

I love the jump of times that they did, astonishing surprise.

Imagine the world where we humans still believed God and they lived on the religion.

Imagine the world most of you don't have even an access to the book or any written source.

Imagine among that majority, there were some handful number of people wanted to "know" the truth of the world and pursue science.

This anime gives you a sense of how human moved the history and evolved. The source of their motivation was very pure. They don't have Google or Facebook. Even reading and writing are the special skill.

That's why, if you can imagine that, you will be touched. Human pure curiosity is very powerful.

It is very philosophical anime and great for adults.
