Planetes in the Planetarian: a Church of Men and Angels

From ancient times, the boundless night sky and the numberless stars have captured the human imagination. For Aristotle, the birth of philosophy lay in the contemplation of the stars, while Plato wanted the wise to train themselves in astronomy, and Virgil and Seneca liken virtue to a “path to the stars.” Twenty-five centuries later, the skies above still fascinate us and make us reflect. Two anime that have dealt with this awe in beautiful ways are the similarly named, yet very different, Planetarian and Planetes.

Planetarian is a melancholy post-apocalyptic tale, while Planetes is a bold space comedy. Both deal with the contrast between the feelings the cosmos evokes in us and the realities that tend to crush these feelings, and both vindicate wonder, as they show their protagonists a message written in the skies—a message of wisdom, hope, and connection through wonder.

The Bible also points to the heavens and the wonder they instill to highlight God’s greatness: ”The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). But also, interestingly, scripture uses the stars to represent the multitude of angels. Be it Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12 or the “war in the heavens” in Revelation 12:3-4, the stars are linked to God’s non-human messengers.

So, what is this feeling that stars evoke in us? And what is its role in these two shows? How do stars relate to angels? Can we really discuss sci-fi and angels in the same breath, or is the tonal whiplash too much to handle? Well, stay tuned!

I was really inspired by Kuzuya Nuri's rendering style and wanted to try my hand at something similar! I really like how it came out.

"Kadın yaralarını sever" demişti bir seferinde Kadriye Ana. Sonra da "Kurt nasıl avlanır bilir misin?" demişti. "Kurt sürüye girermiş, gözüne kestirdiği kuzuya küçük bir pençe atarmış. Çizik sadece. Sonra da dönüp ardını gidermiş. Kuzu o şokla hayatına hiç koşamayacağı kadar hızlı koşarmış kurdun peşinden. Ama kurt bilerek yaparmış bunu. Bilirmiş yaraladığı kuzunun peşinden geleceğini. Böyle yaparak kurt çoban köpeğinden, çobandan kurtulurmuş. İnine çekermiş kuzuyu. Sevda buna benzer." dedi. "Yaralayanın peşinden gidersin. Hep ama hep."

Happy Crappy Life vol. 2 by Harada

Former elite banker is now living in the boonies with a full-time NEET and these days the two mostly spend their time drinking heavily and being very kinky with each other.

Kasuya's future looks seriously in doubt as he has been demoted to the boonies. His social life is also looking poor given how there are not many people his age in the area who are single, his age or even remotely share his interests. ...Outside of maybe his neighbor, Kuzuya. But while they both share the same kinks and both enjoy drinking heavily, they'd both rather make it big in the capital (hopefully in the arms of a strong dominating lady!!)

However, as he was not born to be in battle, Wisped's heart was filled with nothing but loneliness, until one day when he met with a hero named True. Thinking that the guffawing, unarmed man had come to defeat him, the boy instead asked him an absurd question... "Could I live in your castle?"

Çalıştığı barda çok içip olay çıkartan iki zengin piçini enselerinden tutup dışarı attı İsmail. Arkalarından da kallavi bir küfür salladı. Adamların “Sen bizim kim olduğumuzu bilmiyorsun lan” tadındaki tehditkar cümleye sadece siktir çekerek cevap verdi. O an titredi cebindeki telefon İsmail'in. Gelen mesajda ’Ben artık yatıyorum hayatım, seni seviyorum’ yazıyordu. Az önce burnunu kırdığı adamın, elindeki kanını sildi bir kağıt mendile ve “Ben de seni seviyorum, huzurla uyu. Yanındaymışım gibi…” yazdı. İki dakika önceki gaddarlık abidesi adam kuzuya dönmüştü iki dakika sonrasında. Bazen olur öyle, erkekler sırf onlar mutlu olsunlar diye, kadınlar için maske takarlar.

+Sadece masallarda kurt kuzuya aşık olur. Ancak masalarda bile sonları mutlu bitmez.

Kuzu ise hem masallarda hem gerçekte aşık olur ve her zaman hikayenin sonunda ölen kuzu olur; bazen fiziksel bazende ruhsal olarak.

-kurt? O hiç unutur mu kuzuyu?

+Kurt mu? Unutur iki güne başkasını bulur.

-Nerden biliyorsun? Belkide asla unutmaz sadece acısını unutmak istiyordur.

Evet, şöyle dedim arkadaşa;

– Gerekli değiliz birader. Gerekli insan yokur. İnsan bu dünya için en gereksiz, en yararsız hayvan ırkıdır. Olmamamız icap ederdi ama onun da zamanı geçti. Bir gereğimiz yok, insan olmanın yararı kimseye yok. Ne kafes kuşlarına ne de kurttan koruduğunu sandığı kuzuya. Kimseye, birader. Yok bizim hayrımız.

-Ve aslan kuzuya aşık olur -Ne aptal bi kuzu -Ne hasta ve mazoşist bir aslan

[veganlogicdinamo]

Henüz bir iki günlük olan bu kuzuyla tanıştım bugün. Aralarında kadınların da olduğu birkaç kişi Beylikdüzü’ndeki bir parka arabayla getirip bırakmış ve gitmişler… Şu anda @ilkayayanlar bakıyor, emanet edilebilecek güvenli bir barınak aranıyor. İki gün önce bu kuzuların da yaşam hakkını savunduğum için Twitter’da korkunç bir linç girişimine maruz kalınca, bir kuzuya sarılmak istemiştim, bunu birkaç arkadaşıma da söylemiştim ama İstanbul’da nerede bulacaktık ki… Tam bu sırada @patiarkadas bu kuzuya İstanbul’da barınak arandığını bildirdi. Çok içten istemiştim kuzuya sarılmayı. Dileğim yerine geldi. Dünyanın en masum canlısı ile çok mutluydum. Ona güvenli bir yer bulacağız. #kuzu #yaşamhakkı https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzMB8LoGoh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
