To Your Eternity: A Slow-Burning Journey Through Life, Death, and the Meaning of Being Human

After being directed to watch the anime and gone through an extra mini depressive phase,it was finally time to see it. You know,the less you think about it and more you try to distract yourself from it, it becomes easier to handle. Actually no,it doesn't;that is such a terrible statement or not? I'm no genius at this stuff bro. Let's move on to this anime now,shall we?

And yes,I haven't talked about solo leveling season 2 yet. I need to say something about it soon... Randomly just remembered this meme I saw about it and it was so funny, I'd share it with you guys...soon! And my black clover journey is still in progress, I'm back to school now sadly but I've gotten some episodes and I'm just binge watching and plan to do some more binge watching this holy weekend

Well,It all begins with an orb.

In the first quiet, snow-covered scenes of To Your Eternity, a mysterious, god-like figure, known simply as the Beholder—sends an immortal orb to Earth. This orb has no mind, no emotions, and no purpose beyond observation. But it has one ability: it can take the form of whatever stimulates it. First, it becomes a rock. Then moss. Then a dying wolf. And when the wolf collapses in the snow, the orb takes its form and begins to move for the first time.

Enter the Nameless Boy, a lonely human surviving in a frozen, abandoned village. Mistaking the wolf for his pet, he welcomes it home. For the next few days, the boy speaks of the other villagers who left years ago in search of paradise and how he hopes to follow them soon. But after a short journey reveals only ruins and death, the boy returns injured, sick, and broken. When he dies, the orb;now aware enough to mimic,takes on his form and sets off into the world, becoming Fushi.

From there, the story unfolds across several arcs, each introducing new characters who teach Fushi what it means to live. In a nearby land, he meets March, a spirited little girl chosen to be sacrificed to a forest spirit (a massive bear named Oniguma,don’t ask). March’s kindness leaves a deep mark on Fushi, and her tragic death becomes his first taste of grief.

Next comes Gugu, a disfigured but lovable teen who treats Fushi like a brother. Gugu’s arc is full of growth, emotional tension, and found family... until it ends, as many things do in this anime, in heartbreak. Fushi also meets Tonari, the clever leader of a group of orphaned kids on an island prison, and crosses paths with Hayase, a twisted woman who becomes a persistent, unsettling presence in his journey.

Over time, Fushi learns language, emotions, and love. But he also faces the Knockers, mysterious beings that threaten humanity and strip away Fushi’s memories and forms.

To Your Eternity is ultimately about connection, loss, and the slow, painful process of becoming human. It’s not always an easy watch, but it’s deeply rewarding. Through every goodbye, Fushi carries the people he’s met not just in form, but in heart.

And yes, you will cry. Probably more than once. Or maybe not;)
