History VisualNovel / Planetarian

... Well, a nearly abandoned planetarium, that is. There's still one staff member left: a robot girl named Yumemi Hoshino (Reverie Planetarian in the FanTranslation). She seems not to realize what has happened, instead 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.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: the main character, known only as "the Junker."

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:The acid rain stops at the end, and turn into snow. The hope is not for the Junker, but for the world]]. Possibly negates the following:
* HumansAreBastards: The whole cause of the [[spoiler: nuclear fallout]] rain.
* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler: Possibly subverted, in that Yumemi ''knew'' no one was going to come back after all.]]
* KilledOffForReal

* ScavengerWorld

* {{Utsuge}}: Again: boy, is it ever.
** Try to read ''Planetarian'' once without at least feeling down at the end.

* DownerEnding: Oh boy, is it ever.

* [[spoiler: BolivianArmyEnding: 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." ]]
* 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[[spoiler: [[IWillWaitForYou 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.

** Try to read Planetarian once without at least feeling down at the end.
* VideogameCaringPotential: Yumemi absolutely ''demands'' this without trying at all. It's almost a requirement for Planetarian to successfully pull off being an {{Utsuge}} with a RobotGirl.

The visual novel spawned a light novel that contained stories set place 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 DistantFinale to the events of the visual novel.

An animated adaptation, to be done by David Production, was announced on April 1st, 2016, and is due to air sometime in 2016.

* HeyItsThatGuy: The voice actor for the Junker in the completely-voiced Playstation 2 version is Daisuke Ono, who voiced Yukito Kunisaki for the anime version of AIR, another Key work.
** Not to mention Keiko Suzuki, who voices Yumemi. She contributed the voices of the [[spoiler: twins]] Haruka and Kanata in VisualNovel/LittleBusters and Shizuru in ''VisualNovel/{{Rewrite}}''
