Clockwork Planet
クロックワーク・プラネットThis news may seem sudden... but this world died long ago. Earth died a thousand years ago, and a legendary clockmaker known only as "Y" rebuilt it using clockwork. Naoto Miura, a failing high school student, encounters RyuZU, an automaton that "Y" left behind, and the genius clockmaker Marie. When the abilities of these three come together, the gears of fate begin to turn. The cycle of failure and success repeats endlessly as the three of them work to repair the endangered "Clockwork Planet" in this clockpunk fantasy! (Source: Crunchyroll)

Clockwork Planet was enjoyable to watch, if only for the ‘what if’ scenario: a whole planet made of gears. Where the tick of a clock determines the weather, the gravity, or even fate. And where conventional physics isn’t entire the same.
It was spectacular at points, at others dull or overdone. Yet it leaves me yearning for more.
Still, that might be due to the ending. Which left an awful taste in my mouth.

Great show in my opinion although a cursory understanding of
some theory might improve enjoyment. Perhaps look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmaker_analogy, altered states of conciousness, imaginary time/space, and keep an open mind that a lot of the weird or seemingly nonsense stuff does have real roots.

Should be renamed “Shitwork Planet”… Started off decently but then just went downhill… Last like 4-6 episodes were… shit…
Also the first 20 seconds of the OP are great! (only the first 20 seconds).
