Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito

‘Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito’ is an extraordinary masterpiece, and is highly recommended to watch. Also, there is no prerequisite to watch this movie. You don’t need to watch the ‘Planetarian: Hoshi no Yume’ which is labeled as the prequel of this movie by MAL.

A tiny ordinary spark will create a surge in luminosity in absolute darkness. Post-apocalyptic background could significantly amplify the emotional impact on the audience. The wonderful utilization of the post-apocalyptic world led to the success of this movie.

The story is about desperation and hopefulness. The daily scenes of building up of emotions, the climax of devotion, and the passing on of ... the Hope, are harmonically compactly brought out. The passing on of Hope between generation and generation is affecting. Brilliance of the Star will eventually penetrate the veil and illuminate the internal world of the audience along with their once shrouded road to future.

This movie tries to desperately get pity from you and its just bad to watch cause I honestly dont care about a character that has no personality, sure I feel a little bad when they keep on showing sad things but thats it. Luckily the show had another story that had like the same main character but older I guess and it wasnt dogshit. I really wanna tear this movie to shreds but first ill do the proper review part with the story, concept n everything else. (spoiler-free)

1.Sound - Now the music itself wasnt bad but they way it was used was just plain cringy, ... it really tried to be sad and with the help of the soundtrack, this movie almost did it but not quite henceforth being really, really cringy to watch.
2. Art - It was fine I guess but I didnt find the girl "cute" at all and that was one of the main points of this movie. "Look its cute, pity it"
3. Story - While the part with the mc teaching these kids his dreams I guess feltquite nice, the rest of it was complete trash. (ill go into that later)
4. Concept - A post apocalyptic world is pretty cool I guess, wasted on this series though.
Should you watch it? I wouldnt and I regret doing it but then again the entire movie wasnt trash so if you have high tolerance, why not.

Now for the core of this review ehehe (spoilers)
Okay so this anime had 2 different stories I guess? One of them was actually nice and enjoyable watch but the other one was just so desperately trying to get your pity and just failed horribly even though they had the same main character. The latter which is what the rest of this review will be about. Troughout the movie they show these depressing things to try to get you to feel bad for this robot who used to entertain people such as showing these happy scenes of her past and she not working properly anymore and just a bunch of stuff and yknow okay I feel kinda bad I guess.. I mean she just doesnt get people watching her show anymore cause the story is set in like this post apocalyptic world, its nothing that sad really but this show tries to and does make it known. Not a minute goes by without some depressing message and ofcourse the really annoying message she always says "Welcome to the planetarium" or whatever it was and its just like HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA BEAT THIS DEAD HORSE and then suprise suprise she eventually dies and some sad music kicks in and for the 15th time in that show you are forced to listen to her "Welcome to the planet-- OKAY SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! She had absolutely no personality or character and she was just a dead horse being beaten and beaten relentlessly to get pity from you. Oh a service robot got left behind in some apocalyptic world and her planetarium is not working properly and she cant see happy children anymore oh noooooooo .. and now she died oh noooooo she had so much to live for, didnt you hear her opening message "Welcome to the planetarium" like 50 times in this movie? ... In this ending scene that was supposed to be where you break down, I couldnt have been more annoyed because I definetly wanted to hear her opening message and I definetly cared alot that she died yeah for sure.

Welcome to the plane-- YES! YES I GET IT!! She doesnt get any fucking people watching her show but she still says her greeting message oh shes so pitiful and now she died ...
oh nooooooooooooooooo what a tragedy

Overall I only gave it a decent rating because of the better half of this movie. It tries way too hard to be sad and completely fails at it. This movie a gay ass nigga bruh

I don't know if people are aware of this, but MAL actually supports ratings below a 7. I cannot, in good conscience, give this above a 3 rating.

The 5 episode OVA, I rated a 7, which isn't a bad rating at all. It had a nice, dystopian atmosphere mixed in with a bit of awe and beauty (especially the part with the stars being projected in the planetarium); it had a lot of emotion packed into it (you could feel the loneliness experienced by her over 30 years of isolation); it had nice graphics, music, and a decent ending (which made me shed a few ... manly tears).

THIS, however, was a complete waste of time. More than 50% of the entire movie was dedicated to flashbacks! Are you kidding me? Discounting the flashbacks, there was nothing else memorable. I was expecting a nice, clean, followup and conclusion to the OVA, but instead, I got some random crap and flashbacks.

Do yourself a favor: just watch the OVA and skip this, unless you want to be left with a bad taste in your mouth.
