''Robotics;Notes'' follows Kaito Yashio, an avid fan of {{Fighting Game}}s who is ranked fifth in the online game Kill-Ballad. Along with Akiho Senomiya, he is a member of his school's Robotics Club. The club's purpose is to complete a working copy of the HumongousMecha Gunvarrel, the titular character of a wildly popular ShowWithinAShow anime, started by Akiho's sister, Misaki. However, keeping the robotics club afloat is not easy. Kaito and Akiho are the only members and Akiho makes extraordinary budget demands to the school.

* AdaptationDistillation: The anime adapts the original visual novel, which is a 50 hour story, into a 24 episode anime. Needless to say, it is forced to rush a lot of the second half of the story in order to fit the narrative into this time window, such as [[spoiler:cutting out half of Frau and Junna's chapters.]]

In Phase 7, [[spoiler:Kai keeps losing to an AI in Kill-Ballad that can perfectly fight him in game and rubberband AI its way to victory with lag and frame perfect inputs. The only way he's able to defeat it is by using his own cheat, Slo-mo, in order to match its frame perfect inputs and get the kill.]]

* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The story starts and ends with Kai piloting Gunvarrel for the sake of a climactic final battle to save the world.]]



* ChekhovsGun: Finkz seems like an innocuous Egyptian mascot of the hit series Gunvarrel. [[spoiler:In reality he's just part of the subliminal propaganda that the Committee pumped out with Gunvarrel in order to brainwash people and deceive them from what their true intentions and plans are.]]
* ChickMagnet: Subverted. While you would think Kai might be the brown haired bland main character that all of the girls fall for given the cast ratio, this isn't the case in the slightest. Most of the girls don't show romantic interest in him, the only ones that do are Airi (though hers is more in a little sister/big brother sort of way) and Akiho. This entry is ironically the least harem and fanservice heavy among all of the Science Adventure stories.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler:Though AI Airi/Sister Centipede might just be made of data, the story makes it very clear she's as real of a person as anyone else, including the real Airi that she was based off of.]]

* ConspiracyThriller: [[spoiler:The majority of the plot centers around the Committee's latest scheme to use Gunvarrel propaganda combined with solar storm misdirection to deceive the entire human population into immense confusion and fear as they launch their plan to send a black hole bomb into space which will kill most of humanity.]]
* CoolCodeOfSource: In Episode 3 of the anime, some C code that Doc apparently either wrote or viewed is shown. It seems related to joint control.



* Determinator: [[spoiler:Kai, after being forced to see that he was manipulated by Kimijima into allowing a situation to come to pass where the world could be destroyed without most people knowing, finding out that the person he idolzied (Misaki) is a traitor to the Committee who is trying to kill most of humanity, and that Kimijima is alive, vows to defeat Kimijima and stop his plan as payback for using him and his friends. He goes through hell and back to pilot a dangerous mech and constantly hits himself with Electromagnetic waves that damage his body immensely and cause him to be unable to breath in order to keep up with fighting Misaki, and manages to save the day.]]



* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]: [[spoiler:Frau tries to kill herself in her bathtub when the entire internet turns on her after the Committee frames her for being responsible for a robot uprising that kills many people in Tokyo. Kai barely manages to save her in time before she can perish.]]



* {{Dystopia}}: What the Committee of 300 wants to make, by killing off most of humanity and enslaving all of 1 billion survivors under a New World Order where they rule all of the planet, and where the rest of humanity is unaware that they are being enslaved, so they won't riot or rebel against it.

* {{Fanservice}}: Surprisingly averted, most times when the game tries to make you think that a fanservice scene will happen (such as Kai hearing Akiho in the shower but not walking in on her in the shower), it baits you and doesn't go through with it.

* FictionalVideoGame: Kill-Ballad, the Gunvarrel fighting game created by Frau that Kai is obsessed with and ranks as the 5th best player world wide in.
* FirstPersonPerspective: In the visual novel, we jump ship to many perspectives often, even for the side characters in the cast like Doc and Misaki. It's always their first person perspective rather than a third person perspective.
* FlashForward: The story starts with [[spoiler:Kai piloting the Gunvarrel mech about to face off with Misaki for the fate of the world, and the rest of the Robotics Club helping him prepare for this climactic final battle.]]



* Geek: Frau to a T, unhealthily shutting herself in her room and not attending class, with her only real friends being 2 AIs based on Gunvarrel characters.



* HarmfulToMinors: [[spoiler:Kai and Aki were part of an indiscriminate experiment where Kimijima attacked a ship full of people with Electromagnetic Waves that would have killed them had Misaki not intervened. This caused Kai and Aki (who were still children physically developing) to develop Elephant Mouse Syndrome as a result of their brains being irradiated by EM Waves.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Aki experiences this when she witnesses her sister destroy the Robot Expo, injure many people, destroy many robots and try to kill Aki herself, forcing her to realize that her sister is part of the Committee and is trying to kill humanity, which breaks her.]]
* HowWeGotHere: The story starts with [[spoiler:the Robotics Club prepping Gunvarrel to be ready for combat, with Kai as the pilot ready for a climactic battle. The context is that Misaki has revealed herself as a traitor and the Committee is trying to launch a black hole bomb that will kill most of humanity if they aren't stopped, and Kai and co. are prepping to stop them.]]



* TheIlluminati: [[spoiler:The Committee of 300 who have control of most of the influential corporations world wide and have incognito spies everywhere. Their goal this time around is to deceive the world with propaganda about solar storms and Gunvarrel and throw them into a mass panic so they're unable to stop them from launching a black hole bomb into the atmosphere that will clash with the sun's rays and induce a psuedo solar storm that will kill most of humanity.]]

** Akiho: Aki, Little Senomiya
** Furigoori: Koujirou Frau
** Mitsuhiko: Mitchie

** Misaki: Misa-nee



* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Misaki blames herself for much of what's happening because she got involved with Kimijima and killed him to save Aki and Kai, and his AI mindhacked her to possess her and cause her to go along with his plans to destroy the world with her being unable to stop him.]]



* LighterAndSofter: Compared to the other three Science Adventure mainlines, this entry definitely has the lightest tone overall, with the first half of the story being mostly positive school life stuff about building robots and the Club getting together with some conspiracy intrigue. [[spoiler:This is all turned on its head in the second half where the game goes out of its way to remind you this is a Science Adventure story, and we're treated to a lot of trauma, despair and sadness as the conspiracy begins to unfold and many people's lives are damaged in its wake.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Akiho has no idea about the grand conspiracy unfolding throughout the events of the game because Kai intentionally refuses to tell her anything about his discoveries as he doesn't want her to worry. [[spoiler:This comes to bite both of them in the butt later when Misaki's true colors are revealed and she nearly kills the both of them at the Robo Expo.]]



* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:Kai and Aki admit their feelings to one another and kiss right before Kai sets off for the final battle to save the world.]]



* AMillionIsAStatistic: Kai invokes this when [[spoiler:he says he doesn't give a damn about saving the lives of 5 billion people, and that this is really for his own self satisfaction of settling things with Misaki, his rival, after all this time. Though it's obvious he's also doing this for Akiho's sake as well, even if he refuses to admit it.]]
