anniversary. “Chi. – About the Movement of the Earth” is based on the popular manga by Uo Yutaka, which was serialized in “Weekly Big Comic Spirits” (Shogakukan). Set in an era when the “geocentric theory” was considered the true truth of the world and researching or even believing anything that contradicted that theory was considered a serious crime, the story depicts the lives and beliefs of those who risked their beliefs to prove the possibility of the heliocentric theory. This profound story, centered around the theme of “scholarship and faith,” has been a hot topic since its initial serialization, and the original manga has swept numerous manga awards, including the Manga Grand Prize at the 26th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. The TV anime, which began airing in October 2024, has also attracted much attention for its passionate story of predecessors who overturn history. We are pleased to announce the release of the anime “Chi.” To commemorate the first anniversary of the broadcast of “Chi. ーAbout the Movement of the Earthー,” ABEMA will broadcast all 25 episodes for free in one go, starting at 6:30 PM on Sunday, October 5th.
