Started watching Orb. Really great anime so far. I'm definitely hooked.

Synopsis:

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is a historical drama anime about a secret society in 15th-century Europe fighting to prove the heliocentric theory (that the Earth revolves around the Sun) against the powerful, oppressive Church that enforces the geocentric view, exploring themes of scientific discovery, faith, power, and the human pursuit of truth through a multi-generational saga of scholars risking their lives for forbidden knowledge.

Im watching it too Atm really good! Parallels to how the secular 'church' of today is suppressing everything. Also like how some of the characters care more about the truth spreading than having their names attached to it. Nostr coded

One thing that always amazes me is that most of the world already know the heliocentric model is correct, and that included Europeans, and it was only the Catholic church that enforced a lie, all while telling everyone that it was about "Truth" - and then it amazes me again that people don't know about this fact, that it was already known.

You need to watch Legend Of The Galactic Heroes next 😏

Have had this on my list for a while now. I love that old school anime aesthetic. I just know that id like it

It's the best anime of the 2020's for sure.

Here's my list of must watch:

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

Evangelion

Ergo Proxy

Serial Experiments Lain

Steins gate

Elfen Lied

Not must watch but quite good:

Cyberpunk edgerunners

Angel beats

Aot

Lain is on my list already! Steins gate is legit, watched that several years ago. Haven't heard of ergo proxy. Just finished watching cyberpunk last month, surprisingly good!

Similar to Muslim history btw (ideological repression/الإرهاب الفكري) https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A5%D8%B1%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A8_%D9%81%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%8A

in certain aspects and some different "guarded" ideas or opinions by the mainstream scholars especially the ones who could influence governments or be influenced by them. A lot of Judeo-Christian influence in Muslims even today. The prophet pbuh has prophesized this:

"You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: Allah's Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by your words)" those before you"? He said: Who else (than those two religious groups)?" https://sunnah.com/muslim:2669a

We kinda see the same thing being played out with Bitcoin adoption among Muslims
