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

Your Feelings Categories Jun 22, 2017
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 ... Jul 30, 2017
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 ... May 26, 2017
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 ... May 27, 2017
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 ... Jun 24, 2017
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?, ... May 14, 2017
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 ... Jun 24, 2017
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 ... Jun 23, 2017
It's not a good sign when the most compelling scene of a new anime series occurs before the opening credits in the first episode. Clockwork Planet was pretty much all downhill from there.
I recall noticing a comment on some website or other noting that this was the ultimate chuunibyou show, and I'd say that's about right. Clockwork Planet plays out as an endless variation on weird anime-centric fetishes instead of something resembling a real story. I was initially attracted to the show because I thought it might involve some kind of steampunk aesthetic, but I was quickly disabused of that potentiality. Instead, you have ... Mar 17, 2018
(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Clockwork Planet features and stars a couple of automata, robots who are more human than machine (on the outside at least). Last year, a video game titled Nier:Automata stayed true to its name and did the same. I quickly fell in love with the somewhat niche project: 2B, the phenomenal OST, the amazing (true) ending. Not only was it my favorite game from 2017 but also it earned a spot within my all-time-best list. Alongside the likes of Banjo-Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, Dark Souls, The Last of Us, and ... Aug 4, 2018
Note, I am a huge fan of both the LN and Manga, you can check my list. I gave the LN a 10/10 instead of a 3/10. That being said, let's jump into the show.
Story 6/10: The one thing that this adaptation didn't screw up that hard is the story. I mean, it's not written by the studio, so of course it won't be that bad. However, what turned an otherwise 10/10 storyline into a 6/10 storyline is the pacing and the important details that have been cut away. For example, the opening started with a dumb fight with no context at all, making me, as ... |
