Anime is like a well-oiled machine. When all of its parts work harmoniously together (i.e. the story, characters, aesthetics, and the like), you end up with a piece of work that functions well as a piece of entertainment that has a larger majority of its audience responding well to it. But when there're sections that don't really work all that well, then you've got a problem.

Story: With the world dying to the point that it could no longer sustain life, a man known only as 'Y' rebuilt it from gears and clockwork, thus creating the 'Clockwork Planet' that the characters live in. ...

I will note that I am not the best at writing reviews, and that this is only my second or third time writing one. It may not be objective and fair, but these are my honest thoughts on this anime.

I decide to give this a fair try, and I'll be watching it till the end, my friend suggested it to me and that is why I am continuing to watch it otherwise I would have dropped it the first episode. He claims it picks up but I have yet to see that.

The story is one of the weakest aspect of this show, careful because I ...

This is a anime with a intriguing idea, and interesting premise and start, that doesn't really feel like it goes anywhere. Which is a shame as there is so much to like about the world, I liked the idea of the earth essentially being a clock work planet now.

Problem is this is a example of a great idea hindered by poor villains and lack of feeling of gravitas. I never understood the villians goals, or their reasons and what their final plan was supposed to do. which made the final moments confusing.

I would say watch a few episodes to ...

Clockwork planet review

Beautiful android girls saving the world from government corruption with the help of an eccentric ability user and a genius engineer.

There are slight spoilers mainly in character analysis so please be aware as you read the review

Based off the light novel of the same name Clockwork planet is an action based anime that has a pretty interesting premise in that it combines an action based anime with something that we usually see inside a sci fi anime which in this case are the automatons which is a type of advanced android that populate the world that this anime is set ...

Warning possible Spoilers

When I found out that Clockwork Planet was created by the same person who made No Game No Life I was definitely interested with what it would offer me, although despite not being as good as NGNL Clockwork Planet was still alright.

When Earth was destroyed it was rebuilt by some God or being and made entirely out of Gears, Our MC Naoto Miura has a special gift that is needed by people to help fix certain gears, luckily he has a ragtag group to help him on his journey.
The story of Clockwork Planet is pretty confusing and I'll admit it was hard ...

i was very surprised to see such low ratings! it feels weird to be reviewing a show that hasn't finished airing yet, but I felt something needed to be said so people don't turn away from this masterpiece based on the ratings and negative reviews.

First of all, the art is incredible! This clockwork world is simply beautiful. The characters are interesting and creative. I love that the lead doesn't struggle with the kind of self esteem issues that drag on character development in many shows. I don't know about you, but I watch anime to see something more than ordinary. Anime has the power ...

One day, a little MyAnimeList user named FrozenRoy was on his friend's Crunchyroll account, looking for a show at the start of the anime season to watch, and eventually review on My Anime List. Our little FrozenRoy quite enjoys steampunk and clockpunk stuff and so was interested in a show called Clockwork Planet, because it had a really interesting premise. That's how we get here.

Clockwork Planet's premise is, indeed, pretty cool: The planet Earth was fucked up so hard that it looked like humanity was going to become extinct, long ago. A supergenius only known by Y proposed and performed a massive operation to replace ...

This anime sucks. Earth is destroyed and a genius name Y recreate it with gears, the story may look like interesting but trust me, it's not. The first few episodes looks pretty interesting but i don't understand why they put fan service stuff in this anime. Well it's not like hardcore but it's very lame. You don't even laugh for the jokes, it's that bad. The story gets worst every new episodes come's out. I have dropped this anime at episode 8.

Story - Horrible story, suddenly a female powerful robot falls from the sky and he considers it has his wife and after few ...

This anime is a bit special to me; it was written by the author of No Game No Life, one of my favorite lightnovels, Yuu Kamiya-sensei.

First off, I would like to say that the benchmarks for a 10 are:

Story: Steins;Gate, Iron-Blooded Orphans
Art: 5 cm per second, Violet Evergarden
Sound: Guilty Crown, Spice and Wolf
Character: Kimi no na Wa, Koe no Katachi
Enjoyment: Lucky Star, Ghost in the Shell
Overall: Working!!

This anime, for the lack of a better word, is definitely a disappointment thus far. Everything about it has been lacklustre in my opinion and I have to say, I've been watching this anime ever since it's been released in hopes but I'm still unsatisfied even up to episode 8 - they still jump around the plot, drag things on and cut out important bits.

It's a kind of anime that you HAVE to watch before reading the light novel or manga, or better yet, just don't watch this and read the manga/LN.

If I hadn't read the manga or the LN, then perhaps I would've ...

Now this is important: You should never just take someone else's opinion as the end all be all.

ILL KEEP IT SHORT FOR YOU:
This anime is a masterpiece in its own right. The only way i see it getting so many bad reviews is that all the people that actually bother to write these things are closed minded idiots that cant embrace the different perspectives that some anime series try to recreate like this one.

Clockwork planet's plot is by all means short and very open to a second season if they can bring back the same or improved interest (hooks) as the first season.

With its stupid ...

TL;DR Section at the end of the review. This review may or may not contain minor spoilers.

Oh, Clockwork Planet... How I had such high hopes for you, and in a way, you didn't let me down at all.

Clockwork Planet revolves around a world made out of... gears and clockwork parts. Go figure. The earth's resources had been used up to it's fullest, so a mysterious man known as Y made the Clockwork Planet by himself. Fast forward a hundred years or so, and we have Naoto Miura, an aspiring clocksmith. Someday, a female automaton falls through his roof, and discovers that she's not functioning properly. ...

Story:
This is the anime's weakest point. It starts off okay, but the events that go on don't generally have a particularly good connection to each other and it's very predictable. There is literally no reason to anticipate that any major character will actually die or is in any danger and it's really just a show where the major characters blow stuff up and keep succeeding. There is very little world building as well despite the potential that this show has to make that interesting.

Character:
One of the slightly better parts of the story. There is some growth in Marie Bell Briguette and there's some development with ...

Clockwork Planet for LA is easily summed up in 6 words "could have been sooo much better".

Clockwork Planet from the genius mind of Yuu Kamiya of No Game No Life fame is about Naoto Miura voiced by Yoshino Nanjo who is obsessed with automata's and has an eerie ability to hear what's wrong with automations and when a black box containing a female automata by the name of RyuZU literally falls into his lap, his world of success and failures of a gear-like world will come under attack.

Yeah, sounds interesting right?.....yeah too bad it utterly fails in it's execution though.

What does LA mean by this?, ...

Now, I'm not going to say this was a masterpiece, but after watching 11 episodes (soon to be 12 later today when it comes out on CRoll) I can tell you that this anime was a fun ride. When it first came out, I was hesitant because I wasn't sure how well they would adapt the novel. It really does a good job at squeezing out the more entertaining parts from the 3 novels it has covered into a 12 episode series. Personally, I believe that it is one of the best new anime this season. I would suggest it, but I have to warn ...

Alright this is my first review but cut me some slack

I watched up to the 6th episode and i gotta say this anime is crap. The characters are too 1-dimensional, the tensions is fleeting and the first villain doesn't even provide any form of pressure.
take an example from the first scene we see this "villain", at first he's all chill and stuff saying things like "I can't let you do that, it's against the "insert powerful association" orders" and doesn't let tsundere girl go save people. But the moment she pulls a gun on him out of anger, he suddenly squeals in fright completely ruining ...

This review contains some spoilers:

Literally the only redeeming factors of this show were the character Halter and the fact that I had the best time drinking and making fun of this show (the only reasons this has a 2 and not a 1.) The story was a convoluted mess that was only about a quarter explained. I had the only the vaguest idea of what was happening. The villain was given no explanation to his motives and while the two main characters meet him, it's glossed over for at least 2 episodes (??!!!???). And the two Automatons don't use their full power in any meaningful ...

Overall, I think this series was quite a train wreck. When I was first watching the series, I thought that the idea of a planet made of gears would be a super interesting concept, and that our MC would become super OP, much like the MCs of NGNL; however, at the end of the series, I felt like the MC was quite useless compared to his female counterpart. After finishing the series, I can say that, although it was a train wreck, it had enough momentum to keep me thoroughly entertained and I highly recommend watching the actual show.

Real Score:5.5\10

ClockWork Planet, an adaptation of the Light Novel written by Kamiya Yuu, you might know him from the No Game No Life franchise. It has a wonderful setting, an interesting premise and a good overall design, but nothing more. The entire project falls flat and becomes generic, stale and not enjoyable at all at times. I don't like putting low scores, in fact i have given very few scores under 6, but all of the wasted opportunity and dull moments forced me to do it

The Story, if it exists, is bad, really bad. The pacing is horrible and the 2 major story ...
