Review"Why don't you come to the planetarium?
The beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter what.
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you."

Planetarian is a touching story about a man who is trying to scavenge for supplies in a wartorn city coming across an old planetarium and an abandoned robot girl who still attending the place. A remaining relic of a lost civilization. The juxtaposition between the bleak, cold, rainy outside world and the dreamy, warm, peaceful planetarium with its purehearted, vibrant hostess affected me a lot. A star shines brightest in a dark night sky after all.

+Contrasting atmosphere between the cold outer world and the warm planetarium is effective.
+Projection scene is extremely memorable.
+Voiced adult MC is always a plus.
+Doesn't overstay its welcome.

-Takes a while to get interesting, starting with dry exposition about the world, technical descriptions about the projector and a protag that is hard to feel much for initially.
-The action scenes didn't do much for me.
-Somewhat repetitive soundtrack.

Best girl: Yumemi Hoshino.
