Synopsis

It is thirty years after the failure of the Space Colonization Program. Humanity is nearly extinct. A perpetual and deadly Rain falls on the Earth. Men known as "Junkers" plunder goods and artifacts from the ruins of civilization. One such Junker sneaks alone into the most dangerous of all ruins—a "Sarcophagus City." In the center of this dead city, he discovers a pre-War planetarium. And as he enters he is greeted by Hoshino Yumemi, a companion robot. Without a single shred of doubt, she assumes he is the first customer she's had in 30 years. She attempts to show him the stars at once, but the planetarium projector is broken. Unable to make heads or tails of her conversation, he ends up agreeing to try and repair the projector...

Planetarian is an anime that tells us a small story of how in a post-apocalyptic world, where nothing seems to make sense anymore, there is still a spark of hope.

The lead duo is nice to watch interact and although they don't do anything new or special, what they do, they do well. It's about a female robot who informs people about a planetarium and a man, military looking, who is trying to get to a certain place. How the hell do a robot and a man walking around end up interacting? Well, see it.

For these reasons, among others, I recommend this anime, which also only ...

Mixed Feelings
Going into Planetarian, I was totally unaware that it was an adaptation of a visual novel, but having discovered this after I finished it, it actually makes a lot of sense. Planetarian has a lot of the characteristics that reveal its VN roots, like well-written dialogue, intriguing story concepts, and interesting music. Though, it also harbors some of the notable drawbacks, like flat characters, basic motivations, and sometimes rigid animation. Beginning with the story, it starts with a simple yet engaging concept about a postapocalyptic world where humans are very scarce, and a planetarium robot which still manages to function. Of course, when the first ...

This anime is dreadfully boring and is plagued with plot holes and inconsistencies. The main character, who finds a robotic girl working at a planetarium, finds that she is only able to operate for a few hours a day because the power grid has gone down. Yet robot quadruped tanks, that are abandoned left over dregs from a war that ended 29 years ago, have an unending supply of energy. The robotic girl is in some scenes is totally devoid of human emotion like talking to Microsoft Sam but in other portions is suddenly endowed with profound human emotion and intellect. The post apocalyptic setting ...
