There’s something inherently funny about the Twinkle Starlight audio karaoke version. I dunno, I imagine the Planetarian ED but it’s little chibi Key staff guys with a stumped Yumemi looking on while the credits start thanking the entire island of Kyushu person-by-person.

FUNimation’s show page lists Planetarian at 12:30 PM ET (about 30 mins from post). That’s 2 shows (that I know of) that they mixed up AM/PM on the schedule http://www.funimation.com/shows/planetarian/home

Was episode 3 of Planetarian leaked or something ? I found a OST from the supposedly episode 3, with footage from it too.

#5

They held an event where they showed the first 3 episodes.

#6

The funimation site says it’s subscribers only D: Will it be free after a week, like Crunchyroll? I wanted to watch Love Live!: The Next Generation too.

#7

yes. Daisuki also will have both Planetarian and Love Live a week delay if you prefer their player: http://www.daisuki.net/ca/en/anime.html#

The PV has a pretty big spoiler for people who want to go in not knowing anything.

Really? Wow that was fast!

while randomly browsing MAL, I found this:


The art director for this adaptation also fulfilled that same role in Standalone Complex, Guilty Crown and Gankutsuou, which are all considered to be some of the most visually distinct anime ever produced.

Got a question for you all now that it’s ended.

Would you recommend people to read the kinetic novel first, or go straight to the anime?

#15

If it was up to me, I would read the kinetic novel because there is more insight into the game and the experience is remarkably wonderful. The novel captured more [VN spoilers]of the details surrounding the harsh environment and the hopelessness of the city that was laid ridden of the war eradicating plants, animals, and humans. Yumemi, being the only guiding light of the planetarium, wanted to show how much the stars really meant to her as she becomes the narrative to the Junker in wanting for him to experience the wondrous view of the night sky.

Of course, I can say for myself that I have enjoy the novel very much and it is an uplifting and yet somber reminder that [VN spoilers]as Yumemi had stated that if we are ever lost in the world, we should never forget what we seen today.

The journey is over, we learned many things on this “wild ride.” Now let’s wait

#17

@Purple I recently wrote a blog post arguing that the VN has a very impressive aesthetic, and I would certainly say that the worldbuilding and the writing in the anime is not as good. In fact, I would say that the anime is inferior in pretty much every way, but never by much.
I read the VN first though, so it’s clear that I’m biased, and I’ve seen plenty of comments from anime-only people who enjoyed it a lot.
I think you should just consider what form of storytelling you enjoy more, static/self-controlled pacing vs animated, and then decide

Really enjoyed this adaption so much. I managed to get a friend of mine to watch it and he also loved it ^^

#19

So, Digibro and his friends did a video review on this show, and they absolutely loved it. Good to see some new people being turned on to Key works!

I wasn’t sure if they loved it, or just wanted to use it as an excuse to slow roast Re;Zero to microscopic cinders :stuck_out_tongue:

But I agree.
