Robotics;Notes (ロボティクス・ノーツ) is a Japanese visual novel developed and published by 5pb. The game was recently released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles on June 28, 2012. It is the third game in 5pb.’s Science Adventure series following Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate and is described as an “Augmented Science Adventure” (拡張科学アドベンチャー). The anime adaptation will be produced by Production I.G“>Production I.G under the direction of Kazuya Nomura (野村 和也) and will begin airing in Japan on Fuji TV’s noitaminA [ノイタミナ] slot at 2012/10/12.

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.

I have great expectations due to the incredible success of its predecessor, Steins;Gate. Let’s see what the future has in store for the new set of heroes…
