Fall 2012 Anime Previews: Robotics;Notes

Written by 

While the bulk of the fall season has already aired its first episodes, there is still a gem that we haven't mentioned. Of course, I'm referring to 5pb's Robotics;Notes, the anime adaptation of the third game in their Science Adventure game series. (Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate being the first two games.)

Following the stunning success that was Steins;Gate is no easy feat, especially considering how high the bar for Robotics;Notes has been raised as a result of that success. Read on to see a PV and a brief description of the series.

It is the end of June 2019. A device called the PhoneDroid, more commonly called the PokeCom, has gained wide-spread acceptance.

On the island of Tanegashima, Central Tanegashima High School's Robot Research Club is on the verge of disbandment. Yashio Kaito shows absolutely no interest in the club despite the situation and being one of the club's only 2 members. He is fully absorbed in developing a robot fighting game. His attitude causes friction with Akiho, the other member.

Senomiya Akiho is the reckless Club President. She is determined to save the club by completing construction of a giant robot.

One day, whilst Kaito was in a park, working on his computer game as usual, he hears a girl's voice and discovers the A.R. annotation of the Kimijima Report. It is an allegation of a plot by one Kimijima Kou's with world-wide implications.

The Robotics;Notes anime started airing on Friday, October 12 in Japan as part of Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block. It is being produced by Production I.G. and has already been licensed by Funimation for simulcasting.
