Koukaku no Pandora

When Nanakorobi Nene, a cybernetically enhanced girl-next-door, heads to the island metropolis of Cenancle to live with her aunt, she has no way of knowing what is in store for her.

A chance meeting intertwines her fate with that of the super-rich inventor, Uzal Delilah, and her adorable and grumpy companion, Clarion, who happens to be a cyborg just like Nene.

Nene is thrilled to make a friend, but there is more to Uzal and Clarion — and the island of Cenancle itself — than meets the eye.

When a super-powered terrorist threatens Cenancle, Uzal claims that the only way to avert disaster is for Nene to team up with Clarion and use their combined powers — abilities Nene never even knew she had.

Note: The first two episodes received a pre-airing in theatres nationwide from 05.12.2015 to 18.12.2015.

Regular TV broadcast started on 08.01.2016.

In an age of advanced technology, a cyborg named Nene Nanakorobi meets an inventor named Uzal Delilah and her cyborg pet, Clarion, on their way to Cenancle Island. Shortly after the girls arrive on the island, the city comes under attack by an army of robots controlled by a group of rebels who despise Uzal. In order to battle against them, Uzal gives Nene authority to use the Pandora Device inside of Clarion, updating her operating system to temporarily give her the skill to use a gun. After the robots are stopped, Uzal brings Nene to her laboratory where she gives Nene an optical camouflage for when she uses the Pandora Device, before the rebels ask for Uzal's help in stopping a robot that had gone berserk.

However, a large piece of rubble interrupts Clarion before she complete her mission, so she instead operates some smaller robots to allow Nene to reach the console and shut BUER down. With forces approaching on the laboratory, Uzal detaches BUER's Central Nervous Unit before having Nene and the others escape from the lab as it self-destructs, leaving Clarion in Nene's care. Upon reaching the surface, Nene and the others find themselves surrounded by Cenancle's Defense Force.
