Overview
In the near future, the world is governed by a sentient artificial intelligence, and the fragile peace between Earth and the Moon is about to shatter. When rebel forces attack Earth, carefree heir Jacob “Jack” Shadow suddenly finds himself the prime suspect. To clear his name and uncover the truth, Jack enlists as a scout in the Earth army and joins a special military unit bound for the Moon. There, amid a cosmic conflict between two worlds, he must confront betrayal, loyalty, and the cost of war itself. As the battle for the Moon intensifies, Jack’s journey becomes a fight not just for his own innocence but for the future of everyone caught between Earth and its satellite.

Why Watch Moonrise?
Moonrise is worth watching because it pairs WIT Studio’s striking animation with a war story that is as much about trust and identity as it is about space battles. Jack’s transformation from carefree heir to determined soldier gives the Earth-versus-Moon conflict a human heart, and the mystery of who really attacked Earth keeps the tension high across all eighteen episodes.
