Bro I fanboyed so hard when I saw the changes in the OP. It was relatively minor, but the attention to detail with it really got me excited


@DoctorWasabi I wonder if they will keep changing the opening and ending as they cycle through the protagonists? I love evolving openings and endings, makes me never wanna skip them...not that I would cause these have pretty nice music and visuals to begin with.

This anime must be as shocking for regular shonen viewers as heliocentrisim for medieval people.
Love it!

While I'm sad that Rafal is gone, I do like the new characters. Their inner worlds and their conflicts are very compelling!

The animation this week was pretty good, I enjoyed the quick fight scene. I wish I had some astronomy knowledge so I knew why Mars' path went awry.

The way they pronounce "oczy" is deeply upsetting to me

Also this letter should be addressed "do ojca" not "do ojciec". Even google translate wouldn't mess up like this, how did it even happen?

This is so so good, best anime i've seen in a long while.I'm really liking the conflicted views on the new characters, in fact every single character so far have been very interesting. As an atheist myself that conversation they had with the "heretic" resonated on many levels. This anime makes me happy.

It's time for a new arc and this one it about assassins doubtful about their belief surrounding the beauty of the world after observations of life threatening events. The observations surrounding Mars positions can be quite insightful for someone who believes in geocentricism as it would make much sense with that model. That and the way one can question everything around them can make for the perfect combo to go find those papers left by Rafal and that's exactly where this is going.

We're going deeper now and with the slight change in the opening we can be assured of that.

Damn, we are really doing this. I like Oczy, but I just can’t relate to him as much as I did Rafal. Maybe he will grow on me. I’m at the very least, interested in seeing his journey into heliocentrism. Especially since it seems as if he doesn’t have a solid science background like our former protagonist. (8.5/10)

Does anyone know why would Mars be observed to go back on its path?
EDIT: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Solar/retromars.html

I guess that noble will be seen again in upcoming episodes.

Following from last episode’s incredible cliffhanger, we’re duly introduced to our new main character. Similar type of character in the sense that they have trust in the system but clearly this time around there’s deep rooted doubts.

It’s just great storytelling seeing it all unfold, last episode’s final moments in reality being a sequel to this episode.

I thought Earth and Mars do perfectly align in two years time so I assumed the circle would be complete and then reversed but could it be because the sun falls in between? I’m really bad at astronomy, sadly. Time to ask gpt what the answer is, lmao.

I felt bad for the poor lad who passed away second, the killer’s partner literally started conversing with someone else in the middle of his fight, lol. Imagine hearing a conversation out of nowhere and you’re just piling up unnecessary piece of info.

Sneaky change in the Op and ED visuals too! Looks like 2 other central characters still to come based on the ED? Is there going to a converging point where the final main character finally manages to overcome the system or will this just be a collection of stories of heretics and their desire to find the truth? Either way, I’m definitely on board.

@teraphIl1000 yeah ep 4 has best animation, they got a pretty good animation director and hunter x hunter director working on the storyboard(i hope he directs an episode in the future)

Excellent episode. It's an interesting perspective on how people used to cope with anxiety, depression, hopelessness and suffering in that age.

New characters are interesting. Let's see where this goes.

I personally adored the last scene. The one about the heretic making them think in another way. To be honest, it felt perfect.

Wow Oczy replacing Rafal on the OP sequence.
Even the little fight scene looks amazing.
Great work from MADHOUSE.

We got really interesting duo right here Oczy and Gras.

I can't with the nasty cliffhanger every episodes.
I want to watch the next episode right now.😭

Wow, starting this off with new poking at the religious foundation. After Rafal's little mini arc, this is a good way to pick it back up. A bit of a nuanced MC from the Citizen Watch, who engages in duels against counts. The brief action flic was actually super cool looking, unlike certain shows struggling this season.

Um.. this dude is really philosophizing a grim reality . Expecting nothing with only heaven as salvation? Apologizing for being born? The paragon of depression, that still has time for astrology.

His friend studying Mars really is something, tracking the planet in a world with tech for two years. Although nobody would believe them. Astrology is one of the few things he has left, unfortunate.

This heretic they have to transport really sounds like a lunatic

Fucking AOTY man that little sword fight exchange hd me a lil hyped like Madhouse knows EXACTLY what to do when it comes to animation man😫

Cool the OP changed but I’m still sadden that Rafal isn’t in the opening no more man I still can’t believe we changed MC’s just like that you know like I’m surprised that we might have a story with different MC’s which is such a cool concept man🔥🔥🔥

So it was Nowak in the opening with a beard I thought it was him but just needed confirmation and this episode showed me that bro is still alive and kicking with a full beard

That guy really finessed his way out from an execution nigga got the talk no jutsu perk maxed out😭

The ending song changed as well and with 3 ppl replacing Rafal walking which makes me wonder if we’re gonna get all three of them together for the rest of the series or if it’s each character is gonna get introduced at a later point in time in the story🤔

Man I can’t WAIT to see the girl with the hijab that appears in the ending song she looks SO fine and cute😍

I was worried that Rafal’s absence would impact the story, but it turns out I had nothing to worry about. The author knows what they’re doing, and things actually got more interesting. I felt bad for Gras, he led such an unfortunate life, and when he finally found hope, he thought it was all for nothing. But I’m sure that won’t last for long.

Two new MC duellists. One happens to talk astronomy with a monk. He's mad the orbits aren't lining up as normal, I wonder why. The duellist is a bad ass, but his job is frankly terrible for the soul.

So far it's almost a flawless adaptation, even the little fights are animated quite well! Hope it maintains this quality throughout its course.

Everything else was just perfect, they probabile skipped only some pages here and there
@WhiteTestament they got the director of hunterxhunter as a storyboarder in thia episode too
