Is the Planet With Anime Finished?#
If you are considering diving into Planet With, you might be wondering if the anime provides a complete experience. While the anime series aired in 2018, it is an adaptation of the manga by Satoshi Mizukami.
Based on the timeline of the source material, the manga continued long after the anime’s release, eventually reaching its conclusion in July 2022 with the release of the 8th volume. Because the manga spanned several years beyond the anime’s production, viewers who watch only the anime will likely find themselves wanting more and may need to continue with the source material to reach the actual conclusion of the story.
If you’re ready to start the journey, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Themes and Appeal#
Planet With is a title that appeals strongly to fans of speculative fiction. Its quality and narrative ambition were recognized when it was nominated for the prestigious Seiun Sci-Fi Awards in 2019.
Given its nomination, the series is best suited for audiences who enjoy science fiction themes and intricate plotting. Whether you are drawn in by the animation or the original artwork, it’s a series that rewards viewers who appreciate a well-constructed sci-fi world.
