An adaptation of the visual-novel by Key, Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito combines the story of the original work with an expansion that extends the narrative with content from the Hoshi no Hito light-novel sequel.
In the future after much of the world has been devastated by nuclear and biological warfare, a young scavenger or "Junker" exploring a quarantined and abandoned city comes across a service robot still faithfully awaiting customers in the rooftop planetarium of a department store. Against his pragmatic instincts he helps the robot repair the planetarium's projector: a decision which will change both their fates.

I read a lot of Japanese manga and watch some anime, but the trouble with most of the anime is that it falls into various familiar formulae designed to appeal to teenagers and young adults. Since I'm an old adult, not much of the anime appeals to me. However this is one very big exception! If you happen to be interested in astronomy I think you'll find it very moving. Ditto if you often read post-apocalyptic stories in any form, and also if you've been doing any thinking about how life will be when robots routinely move among us. It's a little jewel, and I stillam having feelings from it the day after watching it.

This review will be both for newcomers to Planetarian and those who already watched the 5 episode ONA. Please enjoy. Story Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito, or Planetarian: Stargazer- is a decent movie for those who have not watched the original Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet, 5 episode ONA. Though this movie is a sequel, it includes many scenes from the original, allowing for newer viewers to catch up. Unfortunately, I think it would be better to watch the original 5 episode ONA than to watch the movie. This is because all as the scenes from the ONA are flashbacks which in my opinion lose theireffect because they are not being experienced in real time.
One big issue with this movie is that 80% of it is flashbacks from the ONA series, which could've been left out so the movie story could've been further developed. Honestly this didn't even need to be a movie but a 20 min episode if you cut out all the flashbacks from the ONA.
Character
The characters are new and only one (the main character of the ONA) has remained, though you'd see the original robot girl Yumemi (the other main character from the ONA) very often in flashbacks. The new main characters of the three children aren't honestly expanded a lot. No one from the new character was really developed sadly. However, the best character development has definitely been the now old the main character Kuzuya (The Junker/Old man in this movie). I would like to specify further, but that's a big spoiler.
Animation
Animation is good, though not as good as the original ONA series. Why does Ruth have no eyes? (They cover his eyes with hair) This just seems like a little lazy animation- they drew eyes for the other two kids, why can't they do it with him? The main character (the old man) Kuzuya also seems to suffer often from his hair covering his eyes. I would've liked to see his eyes more.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack is practically the same as the original ONA, especially the main theme from the Christian hymn "What a friend we have in Jesus".
Summary:
If you've already watched the ONA series: It's a decent movie and just skip all the flashbacks wherever you see them. I would not describe watching this movie as a big MUST, unless you're interested in what happens to the main character after the ONA series.
If you haven't watched the ONA series: Watch the 5 episode ONA first! You'll absolutely love it.

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 fewmanly 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.

Planetarian is a Japanese post-apocalyptic visual novel developed by Key, whose previous works also include Kanon and Air. It was released over the Internet on November 29, 2004 for Windows PCs, and is rated for all ages. The game was later ported to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, as well as to mobile devices. Key defines Planetarian as a ‘kinetic novel’, since its gameplay offers no choices or alternate endings: the player proceeds through the story solely by reading. In 2016 the visual novel receives an anime (which adapts the main game’s story) and a movie adaption. The author describes Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi noYume as ‘A certain woman's story’ and Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito as ‘A certain man's story’.
Hoshino Yumemi is the robot working at a shopping mall. She was created by a group of scientists to advertise the planetarium she was working in, as well as to help customers. One day, however, the humanity shows its true color and the world we know no longer exists. Humans still exist, though, but it will take you awhile to find even one. Anyways, the poor robot still fulfills her duties, but does it rarely, since electricity is quite a big rarity. However, this dead city still has many valuables and because of that, The Junker chooses this city. Running away from the robots that still protect the city, he finds himself in the planetarium, where Hoshino Yumemi works. At first, he regards her as a threat, but after some time he reconsiders his attitude towards her and even stays to help her repair the projector. Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito focuses on all the important parts of the anime and extends it so we learn what happens after the anime.
I am not going describe anything about the movie, because it will just spoil you the whole thing. All I can say is that this movie puts a period to the story of Planetarian and it does its work pretty well. If you are looking for an extremely dark and dramatic story, Planetarian is definitively what you are looking for.

If this movie was an advertisement for a planetarium. Then I would be sure to drop by at that certain planetarium even if my wallet evaporates into thin air. Aside from the movie being consisted of incalculable numbers of punchable faces. The movie tells a tale that could conceivably become a life lesson for us, humans. Robots talk too much. And so does kids. This entire movie bears a resemblance to sitting down in the middle of a forest and letting all them mosquitoes suck you. Gah! So annoying! So irritating! Because there were so many interactions in the movie. I thought that I waswatching an Indian action series and thus couldn't get the full experience from it.
Everything about this movie is splendid except from the characters. Yumemi Hoshino aka The Planetarian Robot Girl, is so fucking annoying that I wish that she would just shut the fuck up. The kids in the movie are also such a nice combination of stupidity that if I were to be the MC of this movie, I'd silence them and put where I think that they should belong: back to where they came from.

This movie is like watching David Production flex about their knowledge of astronomy. In which I don't really mind. But if you're gonna flex then you better make it good. This movie nearly failed in that aspect. But it was luckily saved by the strong pillars formed by the story alone.
Eh. Ok movie I guess. Wouldn't really recommend this to anyone because it staying underrated is already the perfect place of where it should belong.

Scavenging a dangerous and desolate city in a post-apocalyptic world, you encounter a building that seems to have potentially valuable goods. It’s pretty dusty--- it looks as though it’s been abandoned for years. Upon further exploration, you discover a powered on computer and you realize that this building, somehow, has power in your post-apocalyptic world. Wearing your night vision goggles, you cautiously open the doors to a room with metal double doors… You shield your eyes from a sudden, bright, blinding light as you’re, astonishingly, greeted by a woman’s voice: “Congratulations! You’re our 2,500,000th customer!” She says. Who is she? and why is she inthe middle of an empty, destroyed city?
Well, the only thing that I will say is that you've arrived at the Rooftop Planetarium--- it’s a place of extraterrestrial beauty that appears near-magical in comparison to the ravaged outside world.
This movie follows an old traveler who is approaching the end of his lifetime as he recounts his past with that random woman from the planetarium, and the events that led him to become a “Stargazer” (hoshi no hito). It could be described as a sequel to the original ONA series “Planetarian:chiisana hoshi no yume”, but that wording is not completely accurate. This movie is essentially an expansion on the Planetarian ONA series, and it takes place after the events of the ONA series. However, this movie also includes all of the scenes from the prequel, so I wouldn’t recommend watching the prequel at all if you haven’t already seen it.
Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito is a heartwarming tale of an old stargazer and his heartwarming encounter with Yumemi Hoshino, the random girl. The stargazer was once a proud scavenger who explored the destroyed cities of the pre-apocalyptic world for valuable goods. As a younger man he comes across as serious, soldier-like, and as having hardened emotions. However, he is much more warm and compassionate as an old man. His younger personality creates an interesting contrast with Yumemi Hoshino’s, who is presented as a talkative, human-loving, humanoid robot. The side characters are completely dissimilar to the two of them, featuring a cast of ordinary kids who rescue the old stargazer from freezing to death in the snow, and the adult villagers of the bunker village, where they all take shelter from the post apocalyptic radiation.
Unfortunately, I feel that this movie has several major drawbacks that are the reason why I feel that this series only deserves a six out of ten for the story. One of major drawback is the heavily dialogue based story that consequently makes the movie feel slow. Couple this slow dialogue with the annoyingness of the talkative robot girl, and it can be a bit difficult to tolerate at times. This is especially true when you add in the fact that the movie has almost no complex or profound meanings to take away from it, which only further takes away from the series. Overall, the story was very predictable and there was very little depth to the story, where the characters came across as empty and containing no “humanity”. However, don’t let these drawbacks turn you away because “Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito” has other forms of entertainment to offer in the forms of art directing and music.
The art directing was spectacular, the director being the same guy that directed for some famous titles like Ghost in the Shell, Sword Art Online, Shirobako, Gankutsuo (10/10 hidden gem), etc. You could definitely see the similarities in the designs and movements of the robots from this movie and the ones from Ghost in the Shell. The scenery and imagery as a whole created a relatively captivating environment, despite the art quality not being that spectacular by itself. Combine the brilliant art directing with the composer of the Clannad, Little Busters, Kanon, and Rewrite OSTs and you have a work of art on the audio-visual aspects of this series. The audio-visual categories were good enough to both earn an eight out of ten from me.
Overall, I feel that this movie was pretty okay. Although it contained very little depth from a story and character standpoint, it partially offsets that flaw through great art directing and good enough music. Additionally, some of the more emotional aspects of the movie were a bit forced and unrealistic, but I was still somewhat affected by those scenes. Because of the flaws, I can’t really imagine myself recommending this to anyone that isn’t a huge anime fan because it really has no unique or defining qualities, but I enjoyed myself to give it about seven out of ten for enjoyment. This is another pretty good story from Key that you may want to watch if you enjoyed some of their other works, or you’re just looking to kill some time with a relatively good anime movie.
I hope this helps you decide whether or not to watch this movie~

I don't think I've ever cried that aggressively before in my life. It was one of those moments when you're crying so hard snot comes out of your nose. The story was fairly consistent with the visual novel, and the visual novel was pretty good. Some of the characters were pretty forgettable, the children in particular are fairly forgettable, but even though they are the future, they're not really the important ones in this story. I can definitely say with certainty that the music was unforgettable for me. The visuals really like to remind you did this is a dystopian future. I don't know howanybody else's reactions would be to this movie, but if you're a person who gushes tears out like a geyser like me, then expect to cry a hell of a lot. But it's definitely worth a watch if you're willing to cry your eyes out.

For those of you who found this obscure sequel, congrats. I know of many people who enjoyed Planetarian but had no idea this movie existed. In any case, this film is set in the future, well after the events of Planetarian take place. The Junker is now an old man, who travels whats left of the world showing Yumemi's projections of stars to all willing to see them, and has become somewhat well known as "The Stargazer" which he dubbed himself in the final moments of the original series. The film begins with the Stargazer arriving at a small village and meeting its inhabitants, namelythe elder and three children. The children quickly take a liking to the Stargazer and are captivated by the projection he shows them. Knowing his health is failing and his life is near its end he begins to teach them how to care for the projector as well as explain what stars are to listeners, as he plans to have them take on the role of Stargazers when he dies.
The movie itself features about 30 mins of new content with the rest being scenes from the original series interspersed throughout, usually in long chunks, which is fine but it may not sit well with some who may have wanted a full movie of new content. If you haven't seen the original series, this movie serves as more of an expansion on it, so you'd be fine to watch this film by itself to understand the series. I won't go into further plot details here, but what I will say is if you were a fan of the original series, you'll enjoy the movie for hitting the same key points the Planetarian series did; that is its ability to give hope in a dark world.
Planetarian Hoshi no Hito, ended with not everything being fully resolved, and yet hope remains, harkening back to the series' core message.
Overall, the quality was fine, music was great, and although the plot didn't advance all that much, the film was still fulfilling. If you liked the original series, this is worth the watch.

So, this time I'm going to review Planetarian anime which is a movie type. Actually there are 2 types of this anime, which have 5 episodes namely Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume. So the reason why I review this anime is because this anime is rarely discussed among anime lovers. I'm not part of any community, so I don't know. Okay continue to the review, after I watched the episode version and the movie I was very touched by the movie. Because, he uses a mixed groove. And the ending was very unexpected and made me cry. Actually I watched this a year ago butI still don't understand the animation (skip skip). So, overall for me, I gave 8.6 / 10. The mixed plot is very effective for some people. And the story that was very touching, was also the voice of Suzuki Keiko, who had no question. Okay, that's all, hope that helps!

‘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 ofthe 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.
Plot: 7 of 7 points (I will give 8 of 7 or even higher if possible)
Animation & Art: 2 of 2 points
Fight/ Action scenes: 1 of 1 points
Total: 10 of 10 points FULL MARKS

The original Planetarian visual novel by Key was one of the first I ever read in my 15+ years of being into visual novels. I've gone on record saying that while I like Key in general, their stories can get pretty predictable with their endings and often feel bloated in terms of length. Planetarian, in a way, is the complete opposite—it's a very short story, not even written by Jun Maeda, yet it still feels distinctly like a Key work. I thought the original visual novel was just okay. There was a bit too much text, and the visuals didn’t really convey the planetarium aspect itwas going for. It also didn’t help that there were only two main characters, and we never really got to see the protagonist, Junker. Thankfully, the anime fixes this issue, with great animation that makes up for the visual novel’s dated look.
Planetarian is a short story, and for me, it’s always been difficult to get fully invested in something with very few characters. In this case, there are literally only two speaking characters for most of the series. However, seeing the dystopian world in motion in the anime helps with immersion before Junker eventually hides out in the planetarium.
In both the visual novel and especially the anime, the true star of the show is easily the robot girl, Yumemi Hoshino. I’ve seen my fair share of emotional short stories about tragic robot girls, so they tend to feel predictable—meaning they have to stand out in some way for me to care. Planetarian manages to do that, and even after all these years, I still think Yumemi is one of the most genuinely likable robot heroines, not just in visual novels but even in anime.
She has this innocent yet sincere way of wanting to show as many "customers" as possible the beauty of the stars. The way the anime presents the constellations alongside her bright commentary really enhances the experience, creating a great contrast to the dystopian world outside—one she doesn’t seem fully aware of. These moments, combined with Yumemi’s warm personality contrasting with Junker’s hardened pessimism, make their character development more impactful throughout the story.
I think a roughly two-hour movie was the perfect length to pace out this story. In addition to adapting the already emotional (if a bit predictable) story of the original visual novel, the anime also includes side story sequel content. In my opinion, this addition was absolutely necessary for the kind of emotional catharsis Key is known for.
Unlike many other Key stories, which rely on silly deus ex machina happy endings that tend to sour my opinion of the rest of the work, Planetarian—in any medium—never takes that approach. In fact, the sequel content in the Hoshi no Hito ending improves on the original visual novel’s conclusion, which felt a little too predictable and anti-climactic. The added material in the movie gives proper emotional weight to what happens after the main events, making this, at least for me, the absolute best way to experience the story.
If you want a short, emotional drama set in a dystopian world—one that finds beauty in an otherwise bleak setting—this is a great movie to check out.

Oh yeah, yeah I've seen this one before it's a classic. This movie probably wouldn't have been bad in isolation. Heck even if I'd seen the 5 episode version I wouldn't have complained much if I'd given some time between them before watching this. The problem is I decided to watch them back to back, and the "flashbacks" in this movie are basically just 1:1 exactly the other show in it's entirety. Same footage, same pacing and editing with a few minor tweeks here and there and a different transition into the first part of it but otherwise unchanged. So as a sequel this fails pretty hard,because the sequel content is very low while the flashback content is most of the runtime. It technically doesn't even answer the most burning questions about the fate of the protagonist or the robot girl hard drive. It does still have a very heartwarming scene at the end I won't spoil that almost makes up for still. It's only good enough to warrant an 8/10 I think.
