In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. "It" can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates "it"; and come back to life after death. "It" morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a newborn who knows nothing. As a boy, "it" becomes Fushi. Through encounters with human kindness, Fushi not only gains survival skills, but grows as a "person". But his journey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker, as well as cruel partings with the people he loves.

Lutist wrote:To your Eternity is a very touching, emotional work of art. It touches themes that are personal and subjective making it more difficult to rate, the meaning of life, the purpose of death and what can sacrifice entails.
Objectively this show is superb on the production values, animation is fluid and the scenery is sharp with a very nice contrast and saturation. The music is touching but not overly dramatic and the story guides you to the answers instead of giving them to you, the steady pace allows anyone to watch without feeling in a rush.
Our story is told from the perspective of Fushi an immortal being that is new to the world, without any knowledge of who he is, where he came from and what the meaning of his life is, he sets to follow the goals of those he meets in the hopes of learning what life is all about, however, unbeknownst to Fushi there are threats in this world that will guide him to that answer.
The way this show portrays sacrifice and loss is masterfully executed, if the themes echo within you, I promise this will be a **truly unique experience** that will stay with you for a long time.
