The 30th issue of Big Comic Spirits announced an anime adaptation of Uoto's Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (About the Movement of the Earth) manga on Monday. Animation studio Madhouse is producing the anime.

Uoto began serializing the historical manga in Big Comic Spirits in September 2020 and ended on April 18. Shogakukan shipped the seventh volume on March 30, with the eighth and final volume scheduled to be released on June 30.

Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite won the Grand Prize at the 26th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, placed second in the Male Readers category in the 2022 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings, and was nominated for the 15th Manga Taisho Award and 46th Kodansha Manga Awards in the General category.

Synopsis
15th century Poland—a time when heretical ideas led those who possessed such a mindset to be burned at the stake for their beliefs. Rafal, 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!

another very original anime that didn't even get commented by people who keep screaming "ORIGINALITY" in another thread because this is not the "original" show they want. literally series about historically inspired conflict between conservative religious authority VS scientific reformer at the time. you can't get any more originality than this.

This would've been good news if this was announced a few years ago

Why? Pretty good studio.

I had my eyes on the manga for a little while now, wasn't expecting the anime to be announced. Hope Madhouse deliver.

Poland, haven't had that before. Maybe I'll pick it up just to fill out my imaginary international Bingo card, if the history is accurate it could be interesting.

Piano no Mori already exists. It's quite good

Cool joke, but not all theologians are priests nor even religious in the field... and no there is more to it than praising God and running churches

Is there really? I mean, at the end of the day, all you can really study is the book about praising God.

Amazing news! Madhouse is the ideal studio to adapt this manga!

Madhouse... PogU

Madhouse may not be a guarantee of anything at this point, but chances are low they'll go wrong with this kind of setting.

I've recently been trying to predict which manga will get anime, and considering the number of awards, I should have been able to tell that this would get an anime adaptation.

Well, I'll make sure to pay more attention to the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, the 'Kono Manga ga Sugoi!' Rankings, and the Kodansha Manga Awards for the time being.

First My Home Hero and now this. Seinen fans are eating good this month 🥳!!!

I read first few chapters and my god this manga is soo brutal hope they don't censored the torture scene.

im curious about the time period. And the fact that an anime will cover, in some way i hope, Catholic theology, which is like basically nonexistent in anime or manga

Oh, shit! This one takes place in THE most based country in the world! Must watch.
I hope Nicolaus Copernicus will be a major historical figure here.

Madhouse is doing this? Definitely going on my PTW list.
