Planetarian Anime - Episode 3 "Yumemi's Projection"

[cloudst12]

Planetarian has a special place in my heart. It’s a story that feels short, and seems like the weakest series in Key’s repertoire of Visual novels.

But it’s not. To me, it might be the best one

This episode was done beautifully. If I could complain about anything, it would be the fact that I can’t control the pacing just to stare in awe of the night sky. And Yumemi being the master of story-telling that she is, never seems to fail to give me goosebumps no matter how many times I watch this scene. Both VN and anime.

And who can forget this moment:

Venus setting with the Sun.

And the evening slowly… slowly… slowly… turning into night.

I gotta say that was absolutely fantastic. I have absolutely no significant complaints about this episode, and it actually managed to exceed my expectations quite splendidly.

The staff is doing a great job of transferring the source material to a visual medium, and let’s not forget the absolutely fantastic bgms that give the anime it’s own special flare whilst remaining very true to the source. The episode was gorgeous, and I felt they did a great job capturing what’s great about Planetarian.
