Sakasama no Patema: Beginning of the Day

Life in the subterranean colony is predictable for Patema, a princess accustomed to enclosed spaces and regulated existence. A yearning for something more prompts her exploration of the hazardous "danger zone," leading to an unexpected descent into a bizarre realm. There, she encounters Age, a fellow student who navigates this world of inverted gravity with apparent ease.

The series explores themes of perspective and adaptation as Patema and Age grapple with a reality where up and down are relative. Their interactions highlight the challenges of communication and understanding when fundamental assumptions about the world are challenged. Set against a visually striking landscape, the anime focuses on the characters’ journey to comprehend their new surroundings and the implications of existing in a space unbound by conventional physics.
