The synopsis and preview cuts of episode 6, “Move the World,” from the fall anime “Chi. -About the Movement of the Earth-,” which will air on Saturday, November 2, 2024, have been released.
“Chi. – About the Movement of the Earth” is a TV anime based on a manga by the young genius writer Uoto, who has won numerous awards including the Manga Grand Prize at the 26th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, and tells the story of people who risk their beliefs and their lives to prove the heliocentric theory.
The story is set in a certain European country in the 15th century. In an era when the geocentric theory, which says that the Earth is the center of the universe and the planets revolve around it, was considered the truth of the world, and believing or researching anything that overturned that theory was a serious crime, the child prodigy Rafał learns of the possibility of the heliocentric theory through the words of the mysterious scholar Hubert.
He was called a genius by those around him and even considered himself a genius, but an uncontrollable and intense intellectual curiosity began to grow in him. “What on earth do I have to sacrifice to know everything about this world?” he asks, as he risks his own “knowledge,” “blood,” and even his life to prove the heliocentric theory. What fate awaits Rafał?

Entrusted with the “feelings” of both the Heretic and Glass, Oxy visits Badeni, a monk living in a church on the outskirts of the village. He is a brilliant but self-righteous monk who was expelled from the town monastery for touching upon a certain ideological taboo.
