| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- AOTS for sure. I will say it again, this is one of the best VN adaptations all time.  I didn' expect something THAT good from David Production. I could listen Hoshino's voice all time. And when I heard "Gentle Jena", feeeeels... 5/5 of course. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| The feels at the start of the projection. ;__; That was beautiful. |
 |
| This episode is all I ever wanted from this adaptation. It was stunning. |
| Wow this is getting interesting. The robot girl explains a lot about the stars, constellations, mankind history regarding inventions, and the fact that the planetarium is also a time machine. I also really how like how the storytelling feels so trusting told from Hoshino's point of view. The background imagery and music used also works quite well imo. Good episode, this is getting more and more interesting every episode. |

 Yep, Gentle Jena still remains my favorite track from any VN ever. Nothing beats the original, but the 2016 rendition is still excellent. It's a timeless piece. "Mankind will solve all its problems" "Just as always, a new day will begin" And therein lies the tragedy of Planetarian. The world of Planetarian could happen to us. A final, nuclear world war is still a lingering fear and possible future. A clueless robot simply doing its duty, showcasing the greatness of mankind as if nothing has changed; completely oblivious to the fact that mankind had already crumbled. |

| That was fascinating. David Production getting it spot on right. |
| I didn't play the VN but this is really awesome!! A train of feels. I loved this episode. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| That was quite a fascinating presentation to say the least. Though, more or less, I'm curious as to where the story will go from here on out. (On a side note, I wonder how much of this series' staff worked on Jojo before. Both are by the same animation studio after all) |
| beautiful episode. I really enjoyed listening to Yumemi |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
 Really well done! I'm so surprised how they were able to pull this off. All 3 episodes have built a really solid tone and the character moments are great. Can't wait till next week! |

| Well, that was certainly great. The whole presentation scene was well presented and highly compelling, and there is some definite tragic irony in that second half about the majesty of humanity and our achievements. And I can't help but feel that something is going to happen to Yumemi when she starts to escort the Junker to "his car" (he doesn't even have one, so why's he lying to her about it?). |
| I think the people who stuck with Planetarian up till now can appreciate the simplicity of things. An abandoned robot who's trapped in the past, and a junker who's trapped in the present. It's really nothing too complex, just a bit of introspection. And based David is doing well. It's just that not a lot happens in an individual episode, and it's a VN adaptation, not a manga. |

Well, it's not technically his car, although it was a little weird that the anime left out the context as to why there is a car waiting for him. |
| That story and projection was amazing yet it felt so sad when you see how that world has turned out. Something like that could very well happen to us too. |
 |
get those glass cases ready  |

| While the whole projection scene is nice enough, in the end it failed to give as much of a touching experience as the one in the VN. It's because they keep the third-person view, constantly jumping back to Mr. Junker to show his expression. (which is the right call in a third-person view, but in the end hurts hard on the potential enjoyment aspect of watchers.) Well, can't be helped. First-person would be expensive. I'm already glad enough this beautiful story got an adaptation. Btw: hell, why do they have to add that scene where Junker goes to the electric breaker room? -_- The whole breaker circuit scene is pointless, too. Because people would have already guessed that. One of the strong point of KEY stories is on how they manage to rub the obvious incoming sadness in their readers' face, hyperbole it again and again and make that obvious thing into something special. It's like: "we know it will happen, but please don't make it happen! They deserve happiness!" and KEY doesn't give a f*ck and do it anyway. Same way here: we already knew it will happen. No need to draw extra scene with background & extra everything that will cost extra money. (Just recycle the frames from last episode's projector repair scene. It'll be cheaper, seriously.) Well, no matter. Yumemi was all I ever needed. And still is. <3 ps.: Gentle Jena :'( Edit: I forgot something. |

| I kind of liked the projection scene more in the VN. Not sure why. Maybe because they had Gentle Jena playing all the way through, I don't know. Either way, the visuals were nice to look at. |
| この世界には。。。秘密がある |
| That spinning stars effect looked like right out of Star Wars lol I think I like this more than the VN honestly, it just comes across better animated (though I wasn't a huge fan of the game to begin with admittedly) |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Ive read the VN until the the part where the projector shot down, so im watching blind for the rest of story. Cant w8 for the next episode :) |
| That talk abot humanity and stuff is kinda sad, and ironic, considering what's happening nowdays. Sadly, Yumemi, Humanity isn't able to look over it's own hate of each other to work together and achieve something great once again :/ |
| So damn beautiful |
 |
| I am sitting in the coach car on the Feels Train for this one. That was a gorgeous episode. I just keep telling myself.....can't end well.....not going to cry....can't end well...not............. |
 |
| The projection was sad and beautiful at the same time. This episode passed by so quickly. |
| This show is quite sad to watch if you put enough attention to the details and I had to take a long breath to do not cry when Laika (Kudryavka) was shown at 11:06 but I've failed. |
 |
| Great episode, loved the dialogue in this one. |
 |
| I goy teary-eyed there, what a great presentation--good job to Yumemi's voice actress. |
 |
| Amazing episode, really well done and 1:1 with the VN. The end is near, and i know that im going to cry so fucking much... |
| I don't think there's a single anime out there that made the tear up in merely 3 episodes, let alone the fact that they weren't even regular-length episodes to begin with. This looked stunning as I expected. Such a beautiful episode. If I were to compare it with the VN, I'd have to say the VN was certainly more touching... but this was still awesome anyway. I'm almost sure they skipped part of the projection... didn't she talk about Mars as well in the VN? I don't quite understand why they'd skipped that. Either way, this was definitely worth the wait. |
| I always have a light heartache when watching this show. God I hope it stops by the end of it, or the movie. What an intriguing anime. |
| Knowing how it ends is just killing me from inside T.T |
| Preview Screenshoots from episode 4:: |
| the story is progressing and it was worth the watch |
 |
| ''Are you crazy?'' ''No, I'm just a little broken.'' This anime is actually very entertaining, even though almost nothing has happened.I can't believe its only 5 episodes I need more :(( the feels everything that you would want a show to give they really outdone themselves. |

| Oh man, that was just powerful. I really didn't think they'd execute the projection so well. I actually think the shots of Junker's expressions were what brought it home. The beautiful, hopeful presentation reflected by the tragic and depressing truth that he knows moved him in a very real way, and we were able to experience that from his raw facial expressions rather than his point of view. The VN was certainly another level of touching, but the way this was presented was absolutely spot on for anime format. Well done to DavidPro, I am so looking forward to episode five now I'm getting chills just thinking about it. |
 |
| My GOD the feels after the last words of the presentation somehow hit home. That was great. Sunrise is a pretty powerful moment, yeah? |
| crying so.much omfg |
| I loved the VN so much a few years ago. I was soooo happy when I saw last week that they started to adapt this into an anime. And man, this is just soooo good. I am nearly crying, overwhelmed by emotions ;__; Can't wait for the next episodes. |
| This was one of the best VN adaptation. The story was super great from the start and so is the adaptation now. Looking forward.... *teary level* (as of episode 3) **lvl 1** |
 |
| i'm just glad there isn't any fanservice |
Close the world, ƚxƎn ɘʜƚ nɘqO.  |
