Past Animes Review: IS - Infinite Stratos / インフィニット・ストラトス

Sigh,

Maybe some of you were expecting this review.
It was the first anime review on my list.

Now, i don't particularly support Harems, especially the To-Love-Ru kind, but i guess this one is ok, within the socially optimal range....

or maybe not.

So yes, Infinite Stratos / インフィニット・ストラトス premiered at the same time as Yumekui Merry did, under the same season.

Infinite Stratos is based on the near future, where technology has reached a point where combat robot suits have been invented (Infinite Stratos), a powered exoskeleton with unbelievable energy, focused on weaponry  which is capable of the greatest damage and far surpasses any modern day weapon. The weapon is also only operable by women. Infinite Stratos is a peace maker, as the weapons are equally distributed to all countries, by preventing one nation from being dominating.

Byakushiki, Ichika's IS

However, 10 years after it has been implemented, a young teen, Orimura Ichika, accidentally managed to operate the IS, when he was supposedly to sit for an entrance exam. This amazing feat led to him being invited to study at IS Academy, a school where people from around the world come to learn how to use an IS. He also is being taught by his older sister in the academy, Orimura Chifuyu, one of the strongest IS pilots who ever lived.

However, ONE problem. One Guy. All Girls.
Yea yea, best HAREM setting ever. The anime's story is pretty much simple, every episode Ichika will run into one girl, a main heroine, and thats that.

The story focuses on action, Ichika learning how to use the IS. In many parts of the anime, it will be how each and every heroine grew up and is related to the IS project the newly found presence of fully automated robot IS systems going out of control.

Ah... Wondering why the plot is so small? That's because the rest of the content is HAREM. There are an unbelievable amount of ECCHI in this anime.

But, if you are looking for comedy, and cute anime characters, THIS IS the anime for you!

Personally, i think this anime is good, in terms of being funny and cool at the same time, but seriously, too much *ahem*

Infinite Stratos was fansubbed by Ayako (The one who promoted it to me), SS, and Rumbel-Ryugan and has 12 episodes, from January 6 to March 31.
