Original title: Houseki no Kuni
In the mysterious future, crystalline organisms called Gems inhabit a world that has been destroyed by six meteors. Each Gem is assigned a role in order to fight against the Lunarians, a species who attacks them in order to shatter their bodies and u…se them as decorations. Phosphophyllite, also known as Phos, is a young and fragile Gem who dreams of helping their friends in the war effort. Instead, they are told to compile an encyclopedia because of their delicate condition. After begrudgingly embarking on this task, Phos meets Cinnabar, an intelligent gem who has been relegated to patrolling the isolated island at night because of the corrosive poison their body creates.
Platform catalogue reviewed on . Availability varies by country and date.
You should watch it for its world, its animation and the transformation of Phos, who gains capacity losing parts of himself along the way.
It's a good fit if you're looking for fantasy, mystery, identity and a melancholic story.
What separates it from other stories about repairable bodies is the price of replacing a gem: each new piece can change memory and personality, so improving it erases Phos.
