Glad to see the anime adaptation of this.
I think Clockwork Planet have a better story & development than Yuu Kamiya previous work "No Game No Life".

I bet MADHOUSE will animated this, which means "No NGNL S2" lol.


Madhouse always makes lousy light novel adaptations. NGNL will never have second season because the end is invented.

Here's another synopsis:
"The Earth had died a thousand years ago. It was rebuilt using gears by a mysterious man named "Y". In the present, while Naoto Miura is living his life as a high school student and a gear enthusiast, a box crashed into his home. In the box, is an beautiful automata girl, RyuZU. This encounter would then have a profound effect on both Naoto and Society itself."

Now doesn't that just sound great?
>earth destroyed
>mechanical planet built in it's place
>robots and shit
>still somehow set in high school
for fucks sake japan


So typical harem trash like usual except with Robots and sci-fi? As much as I love mecha I'm going to have to skip this.

I'm actually really super duper happy over this, I haven't read the LN but the Manga adaptation is super enjoyable to follow and I can't wait to see how this'll go down animated

Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

Can't wait for the clockwork waifus.

And the worldbuilding. The idea is really unusual. I mean we're talking of an entire planet made with gears. There's potential for some amazing visuals. I hope a good studio picks this up.

The fact that the heroine MC is not a tsundere makes this totally worth watching over the other harems.

yeah, and this means that if they ever do a season 2 it'll end right at the same place as season 1 ended. Dumbest decision ever for something that could have had a sequel. I posted a while ago the different possibilities that a studio would have to make a second season of NGNL. Most of them are unrealistic at best.

Madhouse is indeed not a studio peoples should wish for for novels and LN adaptations. They're screwing up quite a bit.

This. I'm also looking forward to how they showcase the world and various locations.I feel whoever adapts can take a good advantage of that.

I really do hope it can match the enjoyment factor of NGNL
Gotta love how people react to a LN adaptions as more generic than the usual LN plot especially on MAL.

Hmm, seems interesting enough XD

Also I love how people react to the LN adaptations than the actual content inside :S It's so damn funny.

But I'm really excited for this one then. Synopsis seems interesting enough.

You're overreacting for an initial setting. You, and lots of other here. There's no point in having a very original setting if the author don't do anything interesting with it later on. For example, elitist usually like LOGH, right. LOGH has an initial setting which isn't original at all. Also, I like RnY which has the beginning starting like your completely cliché heroic fantasy setting.
On the contrary, what's important is what the story becomes afterwards.
I heard good things about how it develops afterwards, but haven't reading it myself, so I won't make any comment as long as I haven't read it.

Simply, I'd rather have something starting with a normal setting and movbing on into something interesting than an author banking everything on an original setting for the synopsis to attract readers, yet not doing anything good with it( most of the "very original" stuff ends like that in novels).

Hell, Sukasuka, which is one of the best new work from Japan I've read this year, has its first chapter starting with exactly that. Girl falls from higher ground and is being caught by MC. Cliché? Sukasuka couldn't be further away from cliché stories. And honestly, falling from the sky or not wouldn't have changed anything to the story afterwards. So who cares for that kind of details, honestly.

^This pretty much. Yuu Kamiya being one of the writers is also interesting. I'll wait for more info on it though.

I have read some of the manga, maybe I should read the LN too. I really do love the character design and I hope that I will enjoy watching this too. However, what I dread is the fact that it will be 12 episodes long where in most cases, leaves ever so little time for plot development etc etc.

I tried this LN, but it was really really boring. Uninteresting characters and plot. At least, there's Bahamut next season.

CLOCKWORK.
It's automata, not robots.
And no, it's not set in high school. The main character go to school. That's all.

Hope this changes your mind ^^

Eh okay. Not sure what to expect since I find the manga version is somewhat average. Still, the first few chapter was a fun read.


There're english translations of the LN floating around. It's way better

Okay BlackRabbitLover here and No Game No Life fanboy here I just need to say how dare he! HOW DARE the creator get another anime adaption when they left us balls dry and craving more of No Game No Life? I know legal issues he was facing and etc. but he dammit! Why. I'm glad. I know Clockwork Planet is going to be amazeballs but nonetheless he needs to get off his ass and request a season 2 of No Game NO Life! Period... thank you

@BRabbitWaifu
legal issues? I think you don't know anything, as there was no legal issues.
Also, anime for novels are just an advertisement, and a costly one. The point isn't to adapt the whole novels into an anime, but to adapt just enough to incite peoples to buy the novels. Most novels adaptation never get a sequel you know. And those which does still never get "finished" and still require you to read the novels to know what happens next.
Last thing, usually it's not the author who decide if there's going to be an anime, but the publisher side. So he doesn't "dare" to begin with.
