In the beginning, FUSHI was an “orb” cast unto Earth. It saw the passing of a little girl, an extraordinary older brother, friends on the battlefield, and finally, an old woman – allowing him to grow into something akin to human. Decades have passed.

The anime’s first series premiered on NHK Educational in April 2021. The anime was originally slated to premiere in October 2020, but it was delayed to April 2021 due to the anime’s production schedule being heavily affected by COVID-19. Ani-One Asia streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
