Robotics;Notes
by Jukki Hanada; dir. Kazuya Nomura (Fuji TV, 2012-2013)
Set on the Japanese island of Tanegashima, this coming-of-age anime adventure story juxtaposes a high-tech conspiracy plot with the innocent wonder of high-school students building a giant robot. The characters (even the minor players) develop nicely over the course of the series.
