THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
As I thought, they left everything for last episode. Better brace yourself for next week.
And I don't think that they will screw it up on last episode. It's probably one of the best VN adaptations of all time.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

Damn, what a cliffhanger.

Some of the conversational dialogues between the robot and Junker was interesting especially regarding where robots go and what they wish for. Will robots really go to heaven? That's an interesting question I always wondered..

I wonder how long the next episode is gonna be, at this rate it's looking to be like 24 minutes long, no? Probably throw in some original stuff afterwards to connect with the movie better, following the VN it really only needs like 10 minutes tops.

They actually made the Junker put his hood on.
YES. YES. THANK YOU.
That's how I imagined he would look walking outside in the toxic rain.



Seeing this scene in animation rather than just words is surreal.

The way they handle how she constantly trips over completely reinforces how much of a robot she is.

If the score for this doesn't shoot up to at least an 8 after the next episode I'll have lost all faith in humanity, David Production are really nailing this adaptation.

They're adapting this really well.

The next episode...agh...it's going to be special.

Decided to go and play the Visual Novel once I kinda started to dislike the anime series for this one due to my strange dislike towards the character dialogue, I haven't gotten close to this tbh but for this episode... Wtf was with that ending of this episode. .___________.

This episode was quiet melancholic. Everyone that read the VN has been saying since the beginning of the series that the ending is super sad, so I am expecting to be bawling my eyes out next week. If I don't cry I am lowering my score out of spite for false advertisement you guys spread :/

The last episode is going to be insanely painful, isn't it? The Junker's plan was never going to work, but I don't think he'll be the one to die. Mind you, him dying and Yumemi waiting for him until her battery simply runs dry would be a pretty painful ending if it came to that.

That conclusion though Lol. So me not loving Planetarian or having some low expectations for the finale (when of course I am reading its VN at the moment because I didn't liked the pacing for the anime) = Being a cold person.

I only sort of got emotional at the very beginning, when they show the robot's life 'fast forward' and it's implied that she is being left behind but she doesn't know it. That was really sad.

Now, I am actually a person that can cry very easily with anime if it's carried out properly, or makes me attached to the characters. So far, while Planetarian does have a very sad undertone to it it hasn't made me care enough about it to cry. Which is sort of disappointing because I actually specifically picked this title on the premise that it was going to be sad enough to bring me to tears. The first episode made me think "oh, that might happen," but the others episodes didn't do much. Still everyone is talking about how they are saving up the sadness for the last episode, so now I am expecting a lot.

Alright, now that everything is done except the final scene, here's my opinion:



In terms of getting everything covered, they did well. (but hey, there's no way you can mess up a 5-hours VN anime adaptation... well, unless you work at 8-bit.)
In terms of adapting, it's shit. And I don't need to be an elitist to say this.

another ps.: I'm not ready. :(

I know, it's hard for short series to even get past the 8 mark. The same thing happened to Uchuu Patrol Luluco last season as well.

I have my hype ready for the last episode, and I will be playing the VN after this show had ended, AND rewatching this all the way from the start after finishing the VN. <3

I am along the lines of giving it a 7 as well. It is beautifully animated and presented, but there just isn't much content. With that said my opinion could change very quickly next week if the buildup really pays off. Something really special needs to happen, otherwise it just feels like a pretty story book with no real substance.

Yeah, I feel like around 30+ minutes more split across the first 4 episodes would've helped a lot. It's definitely rushed and the source material is much superior (as usual) but it's been a decent adaptation nonetheless.

Lol, rushed?
I took me 2,5h of reading, and my primary language is not English. I think that most of people who are using English as primary could read it in 2 hours. In which part it was rushed? I'm asking seriously.
Yes it could be a little better in some parts, but it's adaptation, so it's rather obvious that it will be always a little different from source. Animation works different than visual novel.

It wasn't rushed in all honesty, and that actually depends on a person's reading speed (unless you go on average speed like me and go on YouTube). I'm pointing this out of course.

If you reread what I posted you'll see that the subject of my 2nd sentence is in the 1st sentence.
At no point was I referring to the VN in my 1st sentence, so unfortunately the first part of your reply really has nothing to do with my post at all.

Well... yeah, pretty decent adaptation, compared to 90% anime-adaptation of a VN. (which is sad on its own.)
Sad that it ended right there.

But hey, seeing this getting animated is already a miracle on its own. <3

Solid episode.

Seeing the Warmonger moving and shooting is a dream coming true...

This is probably the best VN adaptation of the century. Very atmospheric and similiar to the source.

And holy shit...I'M NOT READY FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.

It's time to relieve the feels from years ago..god dammit, Key.

EDIT: PREVIEW SCREENSHOTS FROM EPISODE 5 (SPOILERS):

Yep, im going to cry my bawls out.
