About Clockwork Planet

Looking for background on Clockwork Planet (クロックワーク・プラネット)? This drama, ecchi and fantasy series by Xebec (2017) starts out like this. The premise: Naoto's a high school dropout and brilliant amateur tinkerer. He lives in a realm that has been so over-exploited that the entire surface has become one vast machine.

From there, when a box crashes into his home containing a female automaton, it's a harbinger of change that will rock the entire globe, and give Naoto his chance to be a hero.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Ai Kakuma as RyuZU and Yoshino Nanjou as Naoto Miura. It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
