pretty interesting story, but the art style feels lackluster coming from madhouse. It's just so plain on top of the direction and visuals that are pretty average. I'm mainly here for the story anyway.

I still have to watch more episodes, but I truly hope this is not based in old and outdated historical cliches.

@SideCharacterKal probably because of the director. He directed Parasyte before and thats a well animated series but it looks plain sometimes too.

@SideCharacterKal Orb anime improved the art style a lot when you compare it with its manga. Animation is also above avarage which is more than enough for a dialogue heavy anime.

A little cringe in some dialogue, and I wish it was a bit more historically accurate. However, it's a show that actively shits on religion knowing that it's a danger to science and human knowledge, and it's not an overhyped shounen with nothing of substance other than good animation and characters with fashion style. Those two things are definitely a very personal plus for me so I'll give this a shot

The truth is out there.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.

Well, looks like most of the atheists here are taking it as being fact. Quite funny, they watch a random uninformed tv show and take it as fact; pretty much the same thing they accuse theists of doing 😄
@L01MK

atheist here, lol pretty sure most people are aware to not take anime series based on history as fact, same way as people shouldnt take Christian movies with white Jesus to be historically accurate
just enjoy an have fun

A show about Aristarchus of Samos' correct heliocentric model vs Aristotle's wrong geocentric model, set in late Medieval Poland with a backdrop of people getting burned alive for the mere "sin" of using their heads.
Quite original and fascinating, at least for (history of) astronomy and theology geeks like me 😊

I doubt this story will "actively shit" on religion, since religion itself is not an obstacle to science and knowledge; the enforcers of religion, like inquisitor Nowak, and the religious fundamentalists who seek to expand their herd by nefarious means, are the problem.

Despite not being an atheist I would have certainly been burned at the stake too if I had been born during that era and had the same inquiring mind. An era when merely thinking was considered a sin... 🤢

Yup, based on this first episode, this is as good as the score suggests. Was intriguing, and will get even more so probably as we delve deeper into it all. I might wait for this one to finish airing to binge watch it all at once.

As an atheist who is a fan of people like Giordano Bruno, Galileo Galilei, etc, who were persecuted by religion, I really enjoyed this anime.
