Awesome end, 10/10 overall for me, so tanabe's pregnant? i wonder what will be the newborn's name. man she'll be lonely for 7 years, hachi hurry up and come back with your load of dusty rocks :/ quick.

20/10

I loved it! It's been a long time since I saw an anime this good.

Masterpiece. It really moved me. I love how despite its settings, the story reminds me of life in general.

well it turned out to be a better last ep than I thought... ALthough the eps before this were starting to get on my nerves.... oh well atleast it ended good.

Warm atmosphere + awesome proposal.
Definately a good ending for such a good series.

The best project Sunrise has done in the decade. Hands down. Granted, it's an adaptation of the already great manga, but it still delivers new stuff that mixes well with its themes. Truly, one of the best anime I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

great ending..i've watched many anime where the ending really didn't end anything. This left me feeling warm and complete.

Great show.

8/10

exactly!

i loved this series. I'm very glad i watched it and would recommend it to anyone. i'm also saddened that Tanabe and Hachi's child will not meet his/her father for 7 years but eh, I guess it can't be perfect!

Almost a masterpiece... if only it could do away with all that terrorism bullshit...

I'm really satisfied with the ending. Overall, it wasn't perfect, but indeed enjoyable show. 9/10

the ending was nice, especially the proposal part, which was a rip-off from the manga (which is a good thing)


Story: 8, it was great on the parts they used from the manga, but what they introduced in the anime was just bad, and with no sense at all (space ninjas?!)

Art: 5, most of time it was ok, but the characters just looked horrible.

Sound: 5, most of the VA was ok, but again there was characters (like the indian clown and the chief) who had the most annoying voices ever. And the OP sucked.

Characters: 7, The characters in Planetes (Manga) are just awesome (as anything else in the manga), and in the anime they continue to be more or less, but all the side-characters that the anime added (incuding Claire) were so useless and some of them annoying (the Chief and the indian clown)

Enjoiment: 5, i hardly could enjoy this, knowing that they had so good material from the manga, which they didn't even used.

Overall: 6, a weak adaptation of a masterpiece of an manga.


It's really annoying the amount of parts they cut-off to replace with fighting scenes and other random nonsense.

And for those who say that the Manga and the Anime are to different works and shoudn't been compared, i say just that this is an official adaptation of the Manga with the same name, so yes i will continue to compare it to the manga. If the manga didn't exist i would probaly give it a score of 8, but it exists, and they had the content for usage but failed, so i sadly give this Anime 6/10.

that has got to be the best proposal ever. lol.

such an overlooked awesome anime, 9/10

This was really good, but the end was just too thrown together for the series to warrant a 10. It started to get annoyed once all that poor country/ rich country talk started to happen, even if it was the catalyst for the terrorist incidents.

The one thing that upsets me more than anything is that Hakim got away. I thought he burned to bits in the 25th episode.

I just finished the manga and anime today. The manga was a bit better but I loved both.

That proposal scene was beautiful.

I love the ending, I loved the entire series.....Fee-chan was cool. I thought Lucie was gonna be a bitch but she turned out well and I'm kinda glad she's getting married to Colin....I think his attitude will change and I hope that Claire loves him because of him and not just for his money but the way it looks like, she has also finally and really fallen in love.....I think. =P

I felt sorry for Claire (anime-only character)....10 years but in a way thats a short time considering what she did and how she was involved in the whole mess. I guess we will never know if she will ever find love or get married for that matter........I kinda hope it will be Cheng, the guy was good but turned into a weird jerk in the latter phase of the series but he's now back on track and a new and changed man.....but I don't think it will happen.....I doubt he will wait for her. I guess this is one of the things which I though that could be settled but they did, they would have to do a 10-year time-skip.

Ah well, I loved this series and its the 2nd time I've watched it. I wish the VAs of this series were a bit more profilic during these times, it looks like many of them have quit or only have a few or minor roles in the series these past few years. >_>

I usually rate things high but I honestly believes this deserves a 10/10....it was exciting to watch and I never felt bored watching it beacuse I've watched worse. =P

It was kind of a bittersweet ending to me. Hachi and Tanabe are completely together now, but 7 years is a long time. Hopefully they have really good long range communication.

I really did enjoy this series more than I expected. I think the ending was appropriate, and I'm glad they went with the choice of having everyone survive. I'm pretty bored of every anime having characters die off at the end just to tell you the world is a terrible place. For once, it looks like everything worked out.

If this anime appeared to be worth less than a 9/10 to you then you were watching it wrong. Please try again.

he's going to Jupiter...

Since I'm a huge fan of the Planetes manga, I decided to pick up the anime recently and just got through watching it.

Wow. How could an adaptation be so full of failure? I mean, the parts where they actually adapt the stuff from the manga is good. For example, everyone is saying how good the proposal scene is, what with Hachimaki and Tanabe playing Shiritori and Hachimaki saying "Marry Me" and making Tanabe lose by saying "Un" (because it ends with 'n') was just fantastic, and it was right from the manga. The difference? That scene is in the middle of the manga, whereas the anime has it at the very end.

The entire terrorist plot was just trash, especially Tanabe and Claire ending up in the same situation that Hachimaki and his copilot (forgotten his name) ended up on the surface of the moon and miles away from Sea of Tranquility city.

Why couldn't they show Hachimaki going to Jupiter? Why couldn't they show Fee and her family, and the lessons she learned from the dog? They actually did show the Yuri-arc (with his wife's compass), so why did Fee get the shaft?

This is just a massive fail to anyone who knows the original source and particularly knows how much they shredded the second half to put in some asinine thriller/suspense action scenes.

I echo the words of an earlier poster in this thread: read the manga.
