According to an announcement from the official website, an anime adaptation of light novel Clockwork Planet has been green-lit.

Synopsis
"The Clockwork Planet"

One day, a black box suddenly crashed into the house of the high school dropout Naoto Miura. Inside it was a female automaton. The endless cycle of failure and success.

The world that does change and the mankind that does not change. At a time where reality and fantasy are screaming, the encounters of these two make the gears of fate move! (Source: Amazon)

Clockwork Planet is a light novel series written by Tsubaki Himana and Yuu Kamiya and illustrated by Shino under Kodansha Ranobe Imprint. It currently has four volumes published, with the fourth volume to be released on December 29. It also received a manga adaptation with illustrations by Kuro.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give this a try. Sounds interesting enough
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

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.

:O at 4 volumes too, but I guess thats not surprising anymore.I wonder if Leviathan adaption is next.

Glad to see this,however I'm skeptical at the same time.I wonder how much they'll adapt.Maybe 3 vol's? A decent adaption might be doable with 1 cour if they're smart about it.

Hmm no harem/ecchi tag and no isekai/stuck in a game plot mentions, but instead drama/romance/scifi. This could be a really good anime :)

KamiNai was also by the same illustrator and that was done by Madhouse...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Been waiting for this to get adapted for such a long ass time.

LN and manga are both great.

Don't worry people. It's not your typical ecchi harem light novel. This one is actually pretty straightforward, and the main group becomes international terrorists.

Please be spring 2016. Please be spring 2016.

Oh and to those making silly comments along the lines of "we're getting too many light novel adaptation announcements" - this is the first (real) one for more than 2 months. Odd that I don't see you making the same comments on manga discussion threads, when there have been about 10 of them announced to get adaptations in that time.

Sounds pretty good, and even if it didn't it's co-authored by the guy who created No Game No Life, so I'm sure it'll probably end up being even better than I expect based on the premise.

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?

As long as it doesn't turn into "Clockwreck Planet," might be a mildly entertaining watch. If Studio Gokumi gets their hand on it though, that'll be the end of the adaptation.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said that in a LN anime adaption thread, I'd have a lot of nickels. If I had a penny for every time that statement was justified by said anime adaption, I'd have at best 1 penny for every 100+ nickels.

I knew we might get an announcement since volume 8 of NGNL came out today but i did not think it would be anime adaptation of his other work...oh well...il take what i can take seems good.

hmm...now that i think about it..a lot of steampunk style series have been getting anime announcements lately.

Yes more picture material to use. Not really excited on what it could really offer as someone who read the LN, I find it so-so. I like the character design but the characterization part is quite poor or at least on the first 2 volume I've tried.
