Planetarian: Hoshi no Hito (Japanese: planetarian～星の人～?, "Planetarian: Man of the Stars") is a 2016 Japanese animated post-apocalyptic film directed by Naokatsu Tsuda. The film is based on the Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet visual novel by Key and the "Hoshi no Hito" short story from the Planetarian light novel written by Yūichi Suzumoto. The film was animated by David Production and distributed by Asmik Ace. It premiered in Japanese theaters on September 3, 2016. The story is set in a dystopian future where nuclear warfare has left a once prosperous civilization in complete ruin. The film tells the story of an old man traveling around with a mobile planetarium projector to show people the stars.
Asmik Ace producer Hiroyuki Aoi approached David Production to produce the Planetarian original net animation (ONA) series and the Hoshi no Hito film. According to Aoi, David Production was chosen because of the large amount of respect the studio holds for the original work when they produce an adaptation. Director Naokatsu Tsuda was on the production team that was discussing who the director for both projects should be, and after going through various names, Tsuda nominated himself to be the director in part because he did not want to regret missing the opportunity as a fan of Key's works. Tsuda has been a fan of Key's works since he first discovered Kanon, and he has continued to be influenced by them over the years.
