by On Saturday, November 30th, and Sunday, December 1st, ABEMA will broadcast the first free retrospective of the anime ‘Chi about the Movement of the Earth.
This anime is based on the popular manga by Uo Yutaka, which has been serialized in Weekly Big Comic Spirits (Shogakukan) since 2020. Set in 15th-century Europe, when the geocentric theory was believed to be the world’s truth, the story depicts the people who believed in the possibility of the heliocentric theory and risked their own beliefs and lives to prove it.
The original manga has won numerous awards, including the Manga Grand Prize at the 26th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, and has sold over 3.5 million copies. The first TV anime will start airing in October 2024, featuring a star-studded cast of voice actors, including Sakamoto Maaya, Tsuda Kenjiro, and Hayami Shou.
This project will be broadcast three times a day: on Saturday, November 30th (from 5:10 pm5:10 pm to 9:30 pm), the day of the broadcast of episode 10, and on Sunday, December 1st (from 10:50 am), looking back on episodes 1 to 9.
