I confess, I'm not familiar with Planetarian specifically, so I can't vouch for the nuances of that particular instance, however in the case of many sad endings, there are things that could have been done differently. The problem is, at least in my eyes, how likely that scenario is to play out if a real flesh-and-blood person were in the situation.
Often times, we as an outside observer to the story, see things that the characters within the plot don't, and so usually have a much stronger grasp of events as they occur. What I find to be so emotionally moving is knowing that the decisions made by an individual will lead to an inevitably tragic fate, simply because the character doesn't realize the consequences of actions that are generally believed by the character to be the correct course.
I don't like happy endings are romantic, I think they're the result of twisted idealism of a perfect-world scenario. It's easy to romanticize that idea, but it's not really a romantic ideal in and of itself.

Am I even making sense? I haven't slept in 36 hours, and I'm probably going to think I'm a moron when I next wake up.
