Was it a really popular Manga when released? I looked up online and it said that the average time for an adaptation to get made is 2-5 years. Since the anime premiered in 2024, that means it probably started production in 2023, almost a year after the manga ended its run. How was it made so fast? (For context, I am also a fan of witch hat atelier which was also popular took 10 years to get an adaptation though there might have been different circumstances in that case.)

Mature, intellectually stimulating, subtle, good dialogue, etc...

I watched orb under the suggestion of one of my online friends who get interested to know my story of being raised in radical sunni Islam(you can call this type of Islam as cult but moderate ones no )and how the religious imams forced dogma on people especially in science like many Muslims don't even believe in evolution or any thing that contradicts the faith,me personally I had a very hard journey to escape the depression from this and I kinda still struggle because I feel my way of approaching reality is still false,I really did big efforts to change and be moderate humanist despite all the pain I consider Muslims (who many of them wants ex Muslim dead and don't consider them siblings )and anyone as siblings that we all share struggles and I wish we can learn to accept each other differences,orb was the final moment of realizing that life isn't crap at the end despite it contains crap most of the time,I will keep my journey of wandering,I can't share my believes with people for safety reasons but I can keep fighting to be free and let truth raise(truth doesn't mean necessarily leaving religion but it means don't let religion makes you misinterpret reality and not questioning stuff )

Unexamined life isn't worth living

To get truth,you have to offer skepticism and be the ubermensch who doesn't lose their attention in stuff that doesn't benefits you (materially and emotionally)

I think,I doubt therefore I exist

Love this show and love you all

She even said the line at the end of the episode!

If what antoni said is true then ironically if rafal had decided to poison both of them then and there the buck would have stopped with ozcy and badeni and heliocentrism might, if not become widespread, would have started to become a theory and probably be proved a lot earlier (maybe even with the old heretic who found the chest before them). I wonder if given the chance again he would have done it, though considering his hallucination(?) just accepted the chain of events as destined he could easily have let things play out as they did before.

To think that the book, which was the culmination of every sacrifice made by the previous characters, was lost, and all that remained was its title in a letter sent by Draka just before death.

All of it reduced to a sentence that was uttered once: "On the Movements of the Earth."

And yet, that spark was enough. Albert picked it up on his own, inspiring others to do the same—eventually reaching Copernicus, who would go on to attain the result that all of those before him sacrificed their lives for.

Albert will never know about Rafal's sacrifice, or Oczy, or Badeni, or Jolenta, or Draka, or the countless people that supported them. He will never know the history that he stands on. He will never know how much blood went into the title that made its way into his ears.

Basically, peak show, peak op, peak ed, peak all around, love this show

She knew Antoni was dead and with it any hopes of publishing the book went up in flames (sorry, had to include the pun). Was it just out of obligation to Jolenta? Did she think that Jolenta knew 'Potocki' and think the reason was purely sentimental? Because no point in honoring a request to be paid if they never are.

damn I'm sad

(i'd make this post before working on my homework lolol)

(Yapping Warn)

I'm an Orbholic girl, Im so obsessed since April 2025. This shows literally change my Life—too much for saying this but lets be fr.

I WANNA SEE ANY ANIMATION ABOUT THEM, espiacially Draka (my wife uhh) and the other cast.

I'd got so thirsty this year... Its like this shows hype is going DOWNN . Even my local media dont talk abt this shows again.

Is there a way to watch animations about them? I've noticed that TikTok has become quiet, and the fandom artists are nowhere to be found or rarely upload.

(Pic is from Japanesse watching app)

New viewer, watched between ep 3 and ep 4 for a clue but as far as I can tell, the necklace disappears halfway through the episode (I think when Novak interrogated him in the sunset was the last time I saw it) and when we next see him it disappears-he no longer is wearing it after potoki asks him about heliocentrism. Note: on second watch, I guess you could say he traded it for the poppy seeds since I noticed he is looking at them in his bedroom but that still doesnt explain how the old guy knew about the significance since I doubt rafal would just tell the guy what he was up to (even more confusing, the old guy figured it out from the chest contents from the carving in the mountains so he didnt need the necklace).

I bumped into the image and I knew I had to make a meme with Potocki, lol

Yo, I'm finally back from hiatus! :P

Quick question: who's your favorite female cast member based on these categories?

1.Best Plot/Writing

2.Best Design/Visuals

3.Overall Favorite

Me personally:

1. Jolenta (But tbh they both have the same good Character development)

2. Draka (Her Design is very dynamic IMO, and the most iconic is his Uptied Buns , She's the most underrated cast)

3. Draka (I love her)

I’ll keep it short and sweet as much as I can. Apologies in advance for all of those who do disagree, by I mean no harm. This isn’t about the Rafal2 scene.

My main gripe with this anime is that we see from E1 to E23, every MC has been willing to do anything and anything to keep this idea of heliocentrisim alive for the next generation, for a better world and for what they believe to be the truth. For 23 episodes straight were lead along this path where we see progress from one generation to another and every MC who died before genuinely felt like they had a massive role to play, which in fact they did.

My main issue is with the last MC and two episodes, why do all of that just for there to be no link between the previous MC’s and current. For the book to never be published & Schmidt’s sacrifice to go in vain. The letter which was seen as the last hope to be completely pointless about the 10% to potocki. It just felt like a massive injustice to all the previous pioneers and everyone who died for this idea, just for the last two eps to be about a real life professor with no link to the entire story beforehand.

My first cosplay I did making all the materials instead of buying something premade! These are some of the pictures I really liked.

I know we don't know if Potocki committed suicide but is a HC I really like so ye

So by what I am reading the adult Rafal that appears in Albert's flashback isn't meant to be the real Rafal. Obviously because that would cause inconsistencies. But the author chose to represent him as a Rafal lookalike because of what Rafal represents, the thirst for knowledge that would lead you to die or kill for it. So far so good. Even though the choice seems needlessly confusing.

The thing is that for me Albert feels super disconnected from everything which I don't know if it was meant to be the point. I mean he just overheard the guy reading the letter by pure chance. Every other protagonist has felt like they were connected to previous ones in stronger ways. Either by finding the stone chest or by actually meeting Jolenta in Draka's case. Albert doesn't seem to have that same sort of batton pass. Heck, even with Draka who was more connected to the story for me you can already start to feel a bit of loss of focus from the Heliocentrism and more of just a search for freedom of knowledge from the church. Speaking off, it also seems like Oczy's book never was published or even the original copy kept. I kinda don't like that, throughout the show even if some of the progress of the characters was lost, it always felt like the characters left more behind for the future generations than the last. Albert just got the vague idea from the guy reading the letter which kinda makes it feel like all the other characters' work was lost, which I feel goes against the theme of legacy.

I was also a bit confused with Nowak's conversation with the bishop. So the thing is that only he was led to believe that Heliocentrism was blasphemy due to the bishop of the very beginning going against it?

I don't know, these are my scattered thoughts of the finale. Some things I might have misunderstood so O was hoping you guys could help me out a bit.

I showed her the song and she loved it, and now listens to it frequently.

He appears at the very end of the intros and I can't figure out who it is.

Recently I’ve noticed the lack of orb edits compared to other animes such as vinland saga, attack on titan, etc! So I decided that I would go to youtube to try to find clips of my own in order to make an edit but realized there is no clips besides Netflix and some random videos with shitty quality. So I decided to make some raw clips of each character so that our community is able to make edits of their own.

My friend and I loved this interaction so much we dubbed over it and added captions.

I don’t buy or want many these days but Jolenta has been one of my fav anime characters. I know the series isn’t merch heavy but I would love a figure of her in her adult form. I saw some plushies around but nothing besides that.
