a bit confused at this being "romance" genre

From the character pages he's 17 and she's actually the one much older ironically lol

dude, it's anime. Fiction. Who cares? Watch the first ep or give it 3 and make up your mind if you like it or not. First time?

you already got the answer, so why would I repeat it? Bottom line is, watch it or don't if you are scared to see a romance with a young looking girl. Guessing you are new to this medium if you have gripes with this kind of stuff so you have to find out for yourself

He answered you perfectly. Bringing up what other people rate things is only showing your immaturity

Since you're going to keep judging peoples scores of a show you haven't watched, you didn't have gripes with Violet? She's 14, Gilbert's way older. Nothing? Oh right she looks a bit older so it's fine but not the other way around?

@Yorda_trico for the real answer--from a VN reader--here it is:



there might be other VN readers who come across this that can give more accurate details, since it has been quite a while since i read it

VN reader here, it's very sweet and light, nothing to worry about. It doesn't elude to pedo stuff and makes sense in the story with how it's handled.

It's a lovely romance and a lovely story so I hope you thoroughly enjoy it!

@ColCasey

"why bother?"

ummmm because I want to watch it if it isn't creepy? BIG BRAIN TIME!!!!

Try googling for the age of that character and let me know your results....nothing turned up for me except reddit posts that would contain massive spoilers.

"try watching it first before judging other peoples rating of it."

I would never watch Jobless R, it sounds utterly horrific, like some kind of child predators fantasy


Also I am laughing as you clearly skimmed my MAL and didn't even take time to read the score I gave Violet Evergarden movie hahaha look again??

@Boazanian thank you for the added context, I really appreciate it.

Also I had a look at your MAL and you seem like someone who would really like Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet :)

maybe you have seen it, but I didn't find it

No problem, I understand your worries perfectly. ATRI nothing like you'd fear, I hope you have a wonderful time with it.

It's nothing like mushoku at all, closest maybe to plastic memories?

Just like to say though with your comment about mushoku, it starts off gross and that is off-putting for many people so I understand you not wanting to read or watch it. But claiming the series as a whole is pedo bait is a pretty revolting generalisation, that completely erases all the character growth which the series is about

Imagine being this judgemental about what anime to watch. Stop self inserting my guy and try to watch for enjoyment instead. Although you sound like a pretty big snowflake so not sure if this medium is for you honestly. It's animated fiction, so don't be sad when you can't call the police on the MC. Relax and try not to be the most judgemental dude on the planet for a change

@The_Lamington

I hear what you are saying, but such things are very subjective and we all have to make peace with our own morals all said and done.

There is no objective standard for how much questionable content will make a entire show become something horrid.

for one person it could become horrid and immoral only when 60% of the run time has this kind of content, but for me all it takes is one single scene and I know the kind of author I am dealing with.

You and others might find my comments on that anime provocative, but let's remember who poked at who first, that guy came on here being a prick, and I bit back, but people want to ignore his provocation and focus on mine because I had a go at an anime they like - logic and fairness doesn't matter.

I even wrote this on my original post "I don't want to start any wars here - people can watch whatever they want and I don't care, I just want to know if I personally want to avoid getting invested in this anime." but still I got that kind of comment because they cannot help themselves.

@Yorda_trico Yeah no, I entirely get why you had to snap back and say that considering other comments. And yeah, it's definitely subjective. I'm not a fan of hearing that language when you haven't seen it, but it's definitely not for everyone and clearly you're not going to enjoy it

But yeah hopefully you get ATRI is different. When you've seen it, please post a comment on how you find it!

"People can watch whatever they want and I don't care" -proceeds to insult people for liking MT and calling it a child predator fantasy. Get off your high horse

Nah I read your comment about writing it. Could't bring myself to read a whole novel about being afraid to watch an anime with a young looking ROBOT-girl possibly being a love interest

Going through someone’s profile to make a point? Dude that’s low. What are you, new here?

@Yorda_trico no problem! also, i never watched/read Planetarian before but i mightve heard about it once. ill keep it in mind tho, astronomy is something im quite interested in!

@Boazanian

in that case there is a scene in you will just absolutely love.

I would be so excited for anyone to watch it but someone who likes astronomy - that is even more exciting.

It is a very touching story!

@Yorda_trico it's based on the VN right?

I didn’t say you were a villain im just saying, the person was not being rude or anything thery were just saying to give it a chance, im just here to say that going through someone’s profile to make a point is just..weird? I mean congrats, you win?

makes sense mushoku is great

Mushoku being brought up here was completely unnecessary and just made this painful to read through and anybody who still believe that show is a pedo fantasy needs to grow up and relealize that perspective is just dumb and by the time anything romance involved actually does happens most of the characters are your average anime age and that perspective also downplays the severity of actual pedos and the reason MC ends up like that is ALMOST understandable. Opinion on Violet Evergarden Movie is also just real dumb considering that shows setting and Violets character.

As for your question which you should've just stuck to in the first place (and never mentioned Mushoku) the person who said the spoilers is completely correct and Atri is a lot like Plastic Memories and Planetarian. Also seeing as you like Planetarian I'd recommend anything made by the same Studio - Key, that has a good adaptation or is original (Clannad, Angel Beats!, Kanon (2006) etc.) just not Rewrite or Little Busters! (most VNs are better but these are substantially better). You'd probably also love the Key VN Stella of the End (written by the same guy as Planetarian who I believe also wrote most of Rewrites VN) which does the robot thing but with a Father Daughter relationship instead of romantic. Most VNs go on pretty big sales quite regularly on Steam.

Also do watch Planetarian: Storyteller of the Stars (the movie) as it adds quite a few extra things (that weren't even in the VN) throughout the recaps of the OVA that I think wraps up the story really nicely. And Plastic Memories has a VN (originally for PS Vita but a PC English fan patch exists) that has a happy ending in it (definitely need a guide to get there though).

@KanekoKTIA bla bla bla I am ignoring the fact that the other guy was antagonistic first because I like the anime that was insulted bla bla bla my opinions on Violet Evergarden are gospel bla bla bla


Edit: post now ignored as I got my answer hours ago, enjoy being toxic to all those who just wanted to pick a fight :)

you already got the answer, so why would I repeat it? Bottom line is, watch it or don't if you are scared to see a romance with a young looking girl. Guessing you are new to this medium if you have gripes with this kind of stuff so you have to find out for yourself
