Based off the popular visual novel game, experience a story that will pull at your heartstrings! Catch all five OVAs and the sequel movie that completes the story.

Hoshino Yumemi, a robotic caretaker, has spent thirty years waiting to show someone the stars in the crumbling planetarium she calls home. Unaware of the world's desolate state, she continues to wait until one day, a Junker appears. While he is only seeking refuge, she is delighted to have a customer! He tries to ignore her request to watch her show, but eventually gives in only to find that the giant projector requires repair. Hungry, tired, and out of smokes, is this Junker willing to help a naïve robot whose only wish is to do her job?

I found Planetarian to be an amazing show. I was not aware that it was based on a Visual Novel when I ordered it. The story goes that there was a war and civilization has been wiped out. Some people now roam the city looking for "Jun" to collect and sell called, "Junkers". The protagonist, who is never mentioned by name comes across a planetarium, which is still managed by a lonely android who has no idea the current condition of the world thanks to her lack of maintenance.

The protagonist stays at the Planetarium to try to fix it during which both kind of bond and we get to see a bit more of how the world came to be. The animation was amazing, crisp and very expressive. The music is also very good. When i popped it in my Blu-Ray player, the main menu music kind of gave me an idea what kind of show I will be dealing with.

But be warned though, this anime will make you cry. The last time an anime made me cry to the point where I had to pause it for a while to catch my breath was Clannad. Until yesterday.

Planetarian is not the best anime show I have seen but it is very well done and as a VN adaptation, I personally would rank it right next to Clannad or Kanon. So if you like tear jerker anime, do give this one a shot.

P.S. Maybe that is just be but I kind of wish they had made it into a full anime season, because some of the back story bits were quite interesting and they writers could have fleshed out the world a bit more. Minor Nitpick.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Moving Tale
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2021

Planetarian is a beautifully presented movie decorated with hope and wonder.

The main character is reminiscent of going through work and finding awe and pleasure in taking time off to appreciate things--things that are ever present in day-to-day life, but aren't given attention until it's realized they are missing when there is a need for them.

For this movie, it's stars. And beneath the stars lie powerful themes regarding the importance of appreciation, discovery, and communication.

So let me take the time to say "thank you" for the world we live in existing. Could be better, but hey--life is a series of mishaps and dealing with it to not miss out on happiness.

In short, I loved Planeterian.

Thank you for listening.

If a meaning to existence doesn't bother you? This is a waste of time.
Being lonely doesn't mean you alone if you have a reason. But what happen when that reason breaks?
The little robot that tells stories . . . and maybe needs another reason to exist other than her job.
Meh - I liked it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings on this release
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018

I had mixed feelings about this release and would have given it 3-1/2 stars if that were permitted. The five OVAs were faithful to the original game story and were great. On the other hand I was VERY disappointed with the movie, as was my wife. Almost half of the movie turned out to be nothing more then some of the same EXACT footage included in the OVAs. Considering the price I paid for this release I feel that I was misled by the description. From what was provided in the description I expected a sequel which took place immediately after the OVA events and continued the story line to its conclusion WITHOUT the use of extensive prior footage. This obviously was not the case. While the five OVAs do present a good and faithful version of the original game story they do not justify the price charged, all things considered. Bottom line here: Not recommended at this price!

Wasn't completely what the picture description showed. Still a fantastic product and a great adaptation of a visual novel. I am impressed with the level if attention and care Funimation paid when making the first disk and then creating a follow up OVA. Disk one is the original 5 OVA's and the second disk is his continuing story.

3.0 out of 5 stars The movie is the OVAs & some new material.
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2018

Many of the other reviews touch on the shows content, but for those who aren't aware. The movie in this package is the five OVAs + 25 or so minutes of new material that wraps up Junkers story. If you were buying this series expecting a feature length movie to continue the Planetarian story after watching the OVAs, you'll be disappointed.

They really didn't need to make this movie and could have just done a standard 25 minute episode to cover the "Planterian Man of the Stars" story.

If you're OK with paying $35(As I write this) for 1 hour 35 minutes of OVA material and the 25 or so minutes of new movie material so be it. But I'm knocking off stars because its poor value for money. The movie doesn't offer anything substantial.

Worth a watch, it's a wonderful but sad story and feels kinda lonely with there being not many characters but that also adds to the whole effect.
