Funimation is getting ready to bring out the first dubbed episode of Clockwork Planet on Monday with episodes hitting every week at 9:00pm ET on their service. Ahead of that, we’ve now gotten the staffing and main cast for the show. Kyle Phillips is the ADR director for it with Bonny Clinkenbeard serving as the scriptwriter. The cast for it includes:
- Dallas Reid as Naoto
- Jeannie Tirado as Ryuzu
- Skyler McIntosh as Marie
- Christopher R. Sabat as Halter
The show has Tsuyoshi Nagasawa directing based on the series composition by Kenji Sugihara. Shuichi Shimamura is on board as the character designer for it with it being animated at XEBEC.
The Japanese cast includes Yoshino Nanjō as Naoto Miura, Ai Kakuma as RyuZU, Saori Ōnishi as Marie Bell Breguet, Kenichirou Matsuda as Vainney Halter and Sayaka Senbongi as AnchoR.
The four volume series is part of the Kodansha Ranobe imprint and is written by Tsubaki Himana and Yuu Makiya with illustrations by Shino. A manga adaptation kicked off previously with artwork done by Kuro. No production, cast, or scheduling details were revealed with the announcement.
Plot concept: Naoto’s a high school dropout and brilliant amateur tinkerer. He lives in a world that has been so over-exploited that the entire surface has become one vast machine. When a box crashes into his home containing a female automaton, it’s a harbinger of change that will rock the entire globe, and give Naoto his chance to be a hero.
