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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

You know what type of anime is the absolute worst to review? The one where you can't even voice a detailed opinion about it without a horribly massive spoiler, which I won't reveal. I was incredibly close to dropping this whole thing every moment from episode 1 to 10 but stuck with it almost entirely thanks to the beautiful artwork, even though 9 of 10 contraptions are just dumb redundant clusters of gears spinning in place without the slightest credibility to their function.

I flat out hated the main guy until the spoiler, then I only disliked him intensely. I thought everything was absolute moronic garbage ...

If i were to describe this show in one word it would be "Melodramatic".

The show had so much potential to shock and awe us with a unique universe based on the concept of an artificial planet functioning via clockwork gears. But the show doesn't really go anywhere with it, the gears serving more as both just a quirky aesthetic and as a plot device rather than any kind of functioning environment. Either the effort just wasn't put in or a sub-par narrative just fluked an interesting premise.

To compound the feeling of melodrama the show doesn't really have any pace but absolute haste. It's a never ...

En mi opinión la serie está muy desaprovechada, su historia me parece monotona, pero esta bien llevada, lo que realmente hunde la serie son sus personajes tan planos y poco apreciables. Realmente no te causan ninguna emoción. El protagonista no tiene nada de encanto como tal, básicamente es un idiota, no tenemos un protagonista carismático y de buen nivel como Joseph Joestar o Lelouch, el personaje mas fuerte de la serie apenas si me pareció que servia para fanservice, su actitud tan egocéntrica en lugar de ser Divertida o algo me resultó molesta en fin RyuZU se pudo aprovechar mejor. Marie igualmente era un ...

The concept had promise. Then reality came along. The first couple of episodes jumped from dialogue right out of a Hentai to Ecchi and back again. For a while it looked like it was going to be loli Ecchi, then the director changed his mind. Then went back, then tossed in the towel and tossed in some of the worst drawn automatons to pollute the airwaves.

Then there's the gears. 6 billion to make one loli robot. Need to make gears?Wear a suit and dance naked in VR to a golden flower and create them from nothing. Seriously. WTF.

It's just so totally screwy that all enjoyment ...

It is mediocre.
The series is set in a world where Earth was destroyed, and in its place a clockwork planet was built by a mysterious individual called Wye for humanity to live on. Thousands of years later, the protagonist Naoto, a young clocksmith with unexplained superhuman hearing, has an ancient robot girl fall on him, and is the first person to fix her after 200 years. The robot girl pledges to be his slave, and joins him and a goup of elite clocksmiths to fix the damaged parts of their world and thwart terrorists and evil military conspiracies. Another character called Marie is introduced who ...

This anime had potential, the source material is good. BUT The anime adaptation lacks creativity and script is subpar. Flow in Clockwork planet is very clunky and it is distracting from the story, that could have been interesting but script is bad. From the main villain who just appears out of nowhere we don't hear until the very end and his background is not explored, his motives are not setup properly and basically all we know about him is from his mumblings and very short flashbacks. You can't really get into things if you don't really know why things happen.

Just felt like rewatching this, the first watch from years ago wasn't very memorable. Clockwork Planet is actually kinda cool, but nothing is that amazing about the plot and the characters' development to me. It just felt like I was getting to see the MCs adventuring, which was totally fine and entertaining. It's a short anime I rewatched in two nights, so if you want to see two genius kids and their robots just saving the world and stuff, I would say why not crank it out. Otherwise, I wouldnn't prioritize watching it, it's just a time-killer.

Oh I guess my review was too short ...

Having finally finished "Clockwork Planet" I can finally reach a conclusion. Overall this does have a nice number of things going for it. Some good background music, an interesting world, and some great character back and forths....

However execution is key and at numerous times throughout the series events feel so rushed and characters seem to be arbitrarily stupified.

The main problem.over everything else is certainly in the character designs. Everyone looks 7 or 8 yo. Which really intensifies the awkwardness of some of the scenes dialogue or visuals. I can honestly imagine Sora from No Game No Life saying certain lines from the shows main ...

Tick-tock goes the clock, forever...

Story (7/10) - The world has ended, and a new one was built in its place, literally. When a failure clock smith high school student 'discovers' an important automaton, his biggest dream has come true. But everything has a price, which he soon finds out when he gets roped into stopping a calamity-potential conspiracy.

Art (7/10) - The uniqueness of Clockwork Planet is a given, and Xebec did a very good job in bringing it to life.

Sound (6/10) - The Intro and Outro weren't bad, just not the best either.

Character (6/10) - A high school teen with an ...

This is pretty bad anime but it has some serious SOUL.
I started watching this because of the opening being done by fripSide. In the end, the opening, ending and I guess also the music was the only legitimately good part of this anime.

The art fluctuates from okay to bad. The story and characters are pretty random and dumb. The whole piece leaves me thinking that it was written by a teenager taking his favourite parts from shounen shows he's seen stuffing it into this. Most of the things happening do not make any sense whatsoever.

Was about to drop this but after watching three episodes, I ...
