From the writer of Silent Voice, Yoshitoki Ōima, To Your Eternity is a well written Manga series, an anime TV series. The Manga series started sterilizing in November 2016 and anime from April 12, 2021 and is ongoing.
The story follows a mysterious being, an Orb, immortal with no emotions who is sent to earth and has the power to take multiple forms based on the information, emotion he collected. The Manga has been very well received in Japan earning multiple awards and selling multiple copies.This is an amazing show from the beginning. It makes the viewer engaged in it. The Orb transforms into a wolf of an owner and then the story begins, as he observes his unnamed owner, a boy who lives alone in this deserted snowy village, and learns a lot from him. From the very basics like how to eat he gains information. The story continues forward as they journey together to find their people. The very first episode is an emotional roller coaster. It then portrays the wolf becoming the unnamed boy and traveling all across the world until he stumbles upon a young girl.
This is honestly one of the best anime I have seen. Each character plays a significant part in Orb's journey of collecting information, an eternal quest. What makes this anime interesting is not because it is written by a famous writer nor is it because it sounds amazing but rather because it is a journey, a journey of a being, his learning as he goes on, human qualities, differences etc.
In terms of art and animation it is really well animated. The character design, the aesthetics, nothing feels forced rather it feels natural.The sound and sound effects are really impactful. The opening song itself draws great attention which really well suits the show.
Overall this is an amazing masterpiece. I highly recommend you see this as it cannot be explained by words itself. If I had to rate it I would definitely give it a 10 out of 10. Easy to watch.
