How does Key always get away with writing shit stories that somehow still make me feel good? I know they're garbage, but I can't bring myself to hate them.

You like them but pretend not to because Sup Forums told you so.

...

it was a short story with two characters and a fairly limited set of locations. what do you expect? waiting for godot with steward and mckellen?

Its just not the same without her voice going slower and slower while she slowly dies.

...

AOTS.

Planetarian is kamige

Planetarian is probably the least shit of their stories. No cringy anime 'humor' being passed as characterization.

What exactly is wrong with it?

This, I hate Key but Planetarian is ok,

Im about to watch it hows the ride?

it's just 6 episodes, go watch it

Finished the first episode nit too bad.

Eh in vn it ends with main character walking away with chip containing her data or something if remember right so why that overblown drama.
Its not like she can really die if her whole memory and everything is saved on a chip.

Man the last episode felt much sloppier than the previous 4. Yumemi being hit had no impact, kinda disappointing after episodes 3 and 4 which were pretty nicely done.

Listen to the Drama CD, he never managed to slot the memory into another robot, he died before he could.

Really, the tragic aspect was both predictable and unimpressive. What I loved was Junker's narration and some of the more insighted dialogue.

Because the emotional scenes are usually well crafted, but the buildup usually sucks, and are comparable to some kamige and other more serious stuff.

meh I never care about extramaterial, just want to experience the original creator's vision, if that stuff wasnt included first then often it isnt really worth it.
Also that kinda surprises me considering it's key and they have kind of a record with magic bs saving the day.

Well that story is what the movie is going to be about in the first place. The old man in the movie is the Junker.

You like anime, manga and VNs.
You have a certain affinity to shit stories by default.

It's easily their best work. It's also not too long like Clannad and Little Busters.
