Nosebleed Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 *Charlotte flashbacks* This is going to be terrible isn't it? I want to have hope, but then I remember the VN is shorter than half of a typical full anime season, which begs the question: how are they going to drag it and essentially butcher what was a wonderfully paced short story? The only way this can realistically work is in movie form, but if you want my honest opinion i don't think Planetarian is very fit for the anime medium.

Of course not, just add time traveling and a terrorist sub plot and you've got a 10/10 show. Silvz and Suzu Fanatic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already 1st of April in Japan so maybe is just an elaborated joke? to be honest, with only 2 characters and one of them "sleeping" most of the time... it will be hard to pull this off as an animu, maybe like you said a movie makes more sense or a few OVAs..

Nosebleed Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The thing is, even as a movie it will be incredibly boring. The whole story takes place in one single room. Not one town, not one building, a single room. The selling point of the VN is the interaction between the protagonist and Yumemi, which in a written format work great, but in an anime? Unless you got Shaft level visuals going on, you're doomed. It will essentially amount to a bunch of talking and talking with nothing happening and then the last quarter is the climax, but even the climax will be boring because nothing that visually appealing happens in it, again it's all about that relationship the characters have been building. I'm hoping it's just an April Fool's joke I guess, but if it's not, god save us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginSmasher Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I can't wait to see how they'll try to drag a short visual novel out to 12 episodes without completely butchering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john 'mr. customer' smith Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Perhaps i should have been more careful what i wished for Well, at least the vn will get some more attention now Any word on the studio? Maybe they'll include some of the side stories as well to drag it out, that would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it won't be a perfect adaptation, this story deserves the attention, it deserves to get adapted. Even if it doesn't nail the pacing, even if they Stretch a 5 hour vn into a 12 episode anime, i'm still more than Happy to get more of planetarian.

Fite me IRL! ) But I have to agree with Nosebleed; this is not something you can easily turn into an anime. I do hope it ends up being good, but I am quite sceptical indeed. Though you have a point, I am very excited about the idea in general. Heck, its possible that they will end up making it a shorter show, either with episodes shorter than 20 minutes, or maybe less than 12 episodes. We don´t really know anything yet, so maybe I did jump the gun a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It could be anything at this point, they didn't specify in the trailer, so calling it a movie is misinformation. If it's a TV series, it will 99% certainly be shit, like all TV VN adaptations. If it's a movie, it has a bigger chance of not being shit, but I still think Planetarian is not very fit for an anime on a technical level. However it's the best format to get the pacing right. The biggest fear for me is them starting to add filler content to pad out the run time really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The official site makes it pretty clear (as clear as it can be in the middle of april's fool jokes announcements anyway...) that it's gonna be a movie. I think this could make a pretty good 1 hour movie depending on who does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That gives me some hope, but now it all depends on the staff and length time. Still think it should have been left alone and not run through the anime industry butcher machine, but oh well, it's Key, we should expect their stuff to get adaptations at some point.
