Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Planetarian (full title Planetarian ~chiisana hoshi no yume~, meaning "the reverie of a little planet") is a Kinetic Novel (a type of Visual Novel with only one path) made by Key/Visual Arts. Like CLANNAD it is completely "clean", with no adult content.In a dystopian future where most of humanity is dead and acid rain falls constantly, a Junker — someone who goes into ruined cities to scavenge for useful things — takes shelter overnight in an abandoned planetarium.... Well, a nearly abandoned planetarium, that is. There's still one staff member left: a robot girl named Yumemi Hoshino (Reverie Planetarian in the Fan Translation). She seems not to realize what has happened, behaving as though she's still living in the era before the war which caused all the destruction, and is still waiting for the return of her human co-workers, who were evacuated long ago. She enlists the Junker's aid in fixing the planetarium's broken projector; over the course of the repair project, he grows fond of her, and begins trying to convince her to leave the planetarium and come with him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The visual novel spawned a light novel that contained stories set in the same world, which was eventually turned into three separate drama CDs: Snow Globe, which serves as Yumemi's backstory; Jerusalem, which provides some insight on the war that's leading the world to ruin; and Hoshi no Hito, a tale that serves as a Distant Finale to the events of the visual novel.Now also available for iOS devices (with English translation) through iTunes and on Steam, also with an English translation.An animated adaptation done by David Production was announced on April 1st, 2016, and began to air July 7, 2016. A companion film, which adapts Hoshi no Hito, premiered on September 3, 2016. Funimation has picked up streaming rights for the anime and released a broadcast dub on August 4, 2016.

Crapsack World: The world is completely screwed after the wars that destroyed the biosphere and left armies of autonomous death machines roaming the surface, killing any humans they can find. In Hoshi no Hito the everlasting acid rain has at least stopped, but it's been replaced by an Endless Winter.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Hoshi no Hito makes the Downer Ending of the visual novel less harsh; the Junker not only survived the Bolivian Army Ending, he became a "Stargazer" and, as he'd planned on doing, traveled the world with a homemade projector sharing the dream of the stars and reenacting Yumemi's presentation about "Mankind Spreading its Wings" with new generations for decades. He succumbs to his long illnesses and dies at the end, but passes on his dream to the three children in the last village he visits, who intend to carry on his work for future generations.

Bolivian Army Ending: Played heavily in the ending of the visual novel. The question regarding his survival is answered in the light novel segment/Drama CD Hoshi no Hito, which serves as an epilogue to the parent story. The eponymous "Man of the Stars" is revealed to be the same Junker from the visual novel, having lived an elderly age and abandoned his former profession to become a "Stargazer."

comment
Catchphrase: Although Yumemi's pitch for the planetarium (see page quote) might be too long to count and is not used in any context besides her practicing it for customers that will never come, the very last time she says it, it's a bit symbolic. In any case, she says it enough times for it to be considered her catch phrase.

Yank the Dog's Chain: In Hoshi no Hito, the Stargazer incredibly finds an intact robot body in the last village he visits, being worshipped as a statue of a goddess, but collapses and eventually dies before he can attempt to insert Yumemi's memory card into it. He passes the card on to the three children who become his successors, but they have no idea what it is. However, the robot inexplicably activates on its own and comes to his side to be with him as he dies regardless.
