posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Funimation announced the cast for the English dub of the planetarian: Hoshi no Hito anime film on Monday. The dub cast, under ADR Director Clifford Chapin, ADR engineer Matt Grounds, adaptive writer Emily Neves, and mix engineer Nathanael Harrison, include:
- Cynthia Cranz as Ezra
- Alexis Tipton as Isaiah
- Dawn M. Bennett as Jeremiah
- Terri Doty as Job
- David Matranga as Junker
- Monica Rial as Levi
- Kenny Green as Old Man
- Alison Viktorin as Ruth
- Jill Harris as Yumemi
Funimation will release the film and the planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume net anime on Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and Digital HD on August 14.
The planetarian anime project includes a five-episode anime planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume (planetarian: The Dream of the Small Star), which premiered in July 2016, and the planetarian: Hoshi no Hito (planetarian: Star Person) anime film, which premiered in September 2016. The net anime adapts the main game's story, while the film is "another story" about what happens to Kuzuya afterward.
Funimation streamed the net anime and with an English dub.
Visual Art's/Key (Clannad, Rewrite, Angel Beats!) originally released the planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~ "kinetic novel" in Japan on personal computers in 2004 before porting it to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable consoles. The story takes place 30 years after a world war put a halt to space development. The protagonist, simply known as "the Junk Hunter," attempts to restore a planetarium's projector after meeting a robot.
Sekai Project licensed the PC version of the game and released it on Steam. VisualArt's also released an English version for iOS.
A crowdfunding campaign for a full 3D virtual-reality anime video for planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume reached its goal in two days last November.
