Moonrise anime synopsis
The anime is a sci-fi series set in the future, where humanity lives comfortably under a 'relaxed government' ruled with the help of the advanced Artificial Intelligence named Sapientia. To manage criminals and societal outcasts, the Moon is available for use.
Furthermore, because its population consists mainly of criminals, the Moon is entrenched in poverty, which causes the conflict between these two planets. The anime tells the story of Jack, an Earthling who travels with some companions to the Moon, seeking revenge against the Moon's inhabitants for murdering the main character's family.
