Naokatsu Tsuda (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Inu X Boku Secret Service) is helming the project, along with Series Directors Katsuichi Nakayama (Nishi no Yoki Majo – Astraea Testament) and Shunsuke Machitani. Hitomi Takechi (Hyperdimension Neptunia) is providing character designs for the project, while the team of Naokatsu Tsuda and Shogo Yasukawa (The Familiar of Zero F, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) write the scripts.
Planetarian began airing on July 7. Funimation describes the title as:
For thirty years, companion robot Hoshino Yumemi has patiently waited to show someone the stars. Left in an abandoned planetarium, she sits hoping for customers that will never show. That is, until a Junker—a plunderer of goods and artifacts from the ruins of civilization—stumbles upon the crumbling establishment. Will he help her repair the planetarium, or will she be alone once more?
