Orb: On the Movements of the Earth (Season 1)

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth (2024) is a Japanese anime series you can watch online on iFILM — a Madhouse adaptation of Uoto's manga about the birth of heliocentrism in fifteenth-century Poland, where claiming the Earth orbits the Sun was a death sentence.

Rafal is a child prodigy on his way to study theology, the only respectable discipline of the age. One encounter with a fugitive scholar upends his path. The series then jumps across generations — each protagonist picks up the same forbidden idea where the last one fell. Voice cast includes Koichi Makishima and Katsuyuki Konishi.

No magic, no battles. Just the slow, brutal cost of rational thought in a world that burns it. Stream Orb: On the Movements of the Earth online on iFILM.
