Chi: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite

[MFauli]

15th century Poland—a time when heretical ideas led those who possessed such a mindset to be burned at the stake for their beliefs. Rafał, a child prodigy, is expected to major in theology at university, the most important subject at the time. However, one day he meets a mysterious man, and begins researching a potential "truth" amid heretical ideas!

Episode 1:

Ok, this opening is amazing, lol. Made it totally feel like I'm about to watch some Vinland Saga-spinoff

The episode itself was also quite nice, although animation cannot keep up with the Vinland Saga-comparison. Also, the whole "frame" is very small in that first episode, we have no person close to the hero other than the short appearance of Hubert. Most of the episode is a monologue of his thoughts. But that's okay for a first episode, I'm hopeful the cast of characters widens with episode 2 onwards.

The inquisitor also was such a Vinland Saga-character, lol. I'm pretty sure his voice actor actually voices some prominent character in VL, too, sounds very familiar. So did the hero's voice actor, is it the same as Toya from Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai?

Anyway, very glad to see that this turned out interesting so far. Another serious story with character designs where adults don't look like taller children. Hopefully it keeps up. And hopefully some more of you will watch this!

W-T-F

Absolutely didn't expect that to happen. No bs happy end. Rafal is truly inspiring. Wow.

Episod 4:

Another nice episode. The animation suddenly became incredible during the duel

Oczy being so devote to the church while also doubting the afterlife is a bit hard to understand for me, i like Gras more who shows a more direct path, having his family taken from him, then his interest in Mars, then this "opportunity". But interesting characters nonetheless.

The noble guy in the tavern was suspicious imo. Why does a random noble guy know such details about Mars' movement? Maybe we'll see him again.

Also, the opening being changed for the new protagonist was a nice surprise.

Episode 5:

Great episode. This episode made my almost cry several time, first in the opening when Rafal looks at the camera. There's something that hits me deeply emotionally about this story where people are willing to give up their life for the hope that something they helped doing is being carried on.

Also as of now this reminds me a lot of "Fumetsu no Anata e".

Episode 6:

I love how hyped this anime gets me about something that's so NORMAL for everyone nowadays

Badeni, the monk, is a great character, but so is Occy the mercenary. I hope neither of them dies too soon.

Also, I wonder whether Badeni just got lucky with his second eye or the older monk spared him that one.

Are there cute girls or waki in this?

Are there cute girls or waki in this?

Begone, thot!

(from the opening, I assume a little girl will play some bigger role, but she hasn't appeared yet)
