This show takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, like many stories we got the past few years. I'm not usually a fan of the genre, but what got me is that the story set in the atmosphere is quite different compared to what we are used to see : here the survival or wandering parts are not the center, it's all about the encounter between a junker (human) and a robot that has been waiting for years for a customer to come in the "planetarian", it's workplace.

Kuzuya, after years of wandering in this dangerous environment, will come to the planetarian and meet yumemi, a robot ... who is here to take care of the customers. Since it's not an AI, it can't realize the environment is different from what it was 30 years ago, and will treat the junker more or less like an ordinary customer.
Kuzuya didn't have social interaction for years, so even if Yumemi is a robot, we can guess he is really pleased by the encounter. In this planetarian he can talk with someone without being suspicious, there we can see him fall asleep without trouble because he feels safe. And here is one the important thing of this story in my opinion, this planetarian is a safe haven in this hostile environment, and how it is set up is truly beautiful to me. For both our main characters, the time they will spend together is a bliss and a heaven in a world of ruins and chaos.

Since the anime is magical, I feel like I would be too clumsy describing it anymore, so I will just tell you this to end the review : eventhough this show is quite short, it has more beautiful gems in it (from the unordinary relationship between a human and a robot, to the splendid scene where we see yumemi's presentation) than many other longer shows. I recommend to watch this show in high quality, since the animation and art are great.
