I mean take Kenichi or Hitman Reborn for expamle they started out crappy, well the first 3 or 4 episodes,but it got better.So yea just like you said some start that way and get better plus they are showing up more and more these days. Fun!? Well, that's a first. I'm not arguing; I'm... debating, even though looking back some of my previous posts to you were kind of harsh. I'm normally not like that, for the record. So I apologize, because I'm probably coming off as a jerk. And besides, when you act so cooly to my hostility how am I supposed to be angry? >_> nah its alright =P and u wasn't coming off as a jerk ^.^ |
| This episode wasn't bad. Although I could have done without the Orimura crothch shot... Lol, looks like his harem is going to be an international one. |
| Hah... Second girl, conquered. This episode had great battle scenes. Oh snap, twin tails next ♥ |
| I'm watching this for the harem and the mech action. The action kinda lacked something but what can I expect from a 2nd time user of IS. And Tsundere Houki : ) Twintail is going to be next.. Wohoo :D |
| this epsiode was gud i love the fighting scene ...if only he won but looking for to childhood friend 2 *.* lol love the eD how girls getting added to the harem |
| I hope the fighting scene will be as "sophisticated" as this one, because that's only decent thing about this show. |
 |
| I've always hated the Fog of War... |
| I remember somebody saying in the Episode 1 discussion thread "I bet there will be a second childhood friend and the blonde girl will be in love with the clueless boy"...this is so funny :)) This is such a low-class anime, but I want to keep watching it for amusement. |
| Hmmm ... IS the fight was better than I expected so I'm satisfied. But unfortunately, I have the impression that the show goes in the direction of a love triangle. I hope I'm wrong. |
 |
| Better than ep 1 and Houyki is cute. I still dont care about Cecillia. I totally didn't like it when the main char was animated with cel shaded 3d during the otherwise nice fight sequence(esp when the camera rotated around him). |

Here's a hope,hope the enemies will be some aliens. |
| I could have watched the first half without the dialog but the second half was interesting. That fight was to decide who would be the class president and the boy ends up losing because of some stupid rule...he had that match bagged already. Now he as to be followed by yet another girl (they will just keep increasing). |
| At least the mechs seem to all be individually unique. So the fight scenes should be interesting. |

Yumekichi11 said: There just to many Anime that do that and in many cases it just ruins the Anime.]I just hope they introduce and shift things around episodes 6/7. Doing stuff at the last moment sucks a lot in anime. So i agree with you and hope that this will be different. ReaperLoki. If people decide to drop this after one or 2 episodes it's there choice. And if it turns out to be good and differently then they expected it's there loss. I don't mind it if people drop it what i do mind is that when some people drop it they go to the forums just to say they dropped it whit out giving any reason why. If you want to say you dropped it that badly then at least give a good reason for dropping something. There is nothing more annoying then 2 word posts. |
| Great anime. The battle was very intense and well animated. 5/5 for episode 2. |
| While this episode played out more or less exactly how I suspected it would, that didn't make it any less fun. I like how the battle scene was really slick and fast-paced, and it was one of the few times I didn't really know who was going to win, unlike in some series (I'm looking at you Star Driver). Houki and Ichika continue to have the most generic cookie cutter nice guy/tsundere childhood friend relationship, but that doesn't make it any less cute, at least for me. That said, I really hope Ichika shows some level of romantic interest in her during the course of series, or towards any girl really (Cecilia, the new girl, etc.). Too often the chastity/decency of harem leads seems to border on asexuality until the very end of the show. Also, |
| Ha-cha! |
| So it seems people like Houki and dislike Cecilia. It's the other way for me and I don't like it. There's something about Cecilia that makes me really like her, maybe it's her design, maybe dat headband. I feel like a tsundere myself. >_> |

LightningRamiel said: I don't tend to read the character pages because they are often spoilerific. Aleister Crowley's page makes it two sentences before it starts getting into earthshattering revelations that haven't yet actually been revealed. I haven't read the rest of that page, just the first two sentences, but I can only assume that it builds on that second sentence with more that I don't yet know...I don't know why the character pages do that, but it's best to just leave them off in the corner until you think you know everything.While this episode played out more or less exactly how I suspected it would, that didn't make it any less fun.

| a lot of bitch talking from the cecilia. could you imagine that in real life or in a game? really irritating. and i hate houki , she is so stupidly tsundere. im probably gonna hate the next girl also. but the battle was good. |
| Mmm... tsundere. I can't think of anything else to say. |
 |
| Wow! That suit looks so gay when a guy wears it. Now i know why it was only girls using those suits. |
| So when Ichika engaged his MOONLIGHT, he lost because it drains Primal Armor. So it's a Kojima laser blade. </armoredcore> I'm waiting for this anime to not be a copypasta of something done a million times. Really in it for the combat choreography. Let there be a world war by the end of the series or something. EDIT: It would be good if the series pulled a Narutaru or something. |

| The fight scene was pretty cool /2 This episode was much better than first /2 |
| Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on... |
| I feel like I'm the only girl in the world watching this mecha harem series. My friend gave me such a weird when I gave her the summary of Infinite Stratos... On a different topic, I think that Houki had better get rid of her habit of talking to herself in the changing room. |
   |
| This topic needs more Cecilia love. I can't possibly be the only one who likes her. D: |
| |
| Well epic fight but a lose for Ichika, and that suit that he had to wear really... that looked pretty lame. OK now that he has two that are in love with him we just need another childhood friend right everyone lets put our hands together for the next rival! |
 |
| Need more action. He should have "accidentally" ripped Blue Tears to debris and leave the brit brat wondering wtf she's gonna fly. I'm hoping to see some combat evolution too, beside the obvious "I'm in love with this chick I haven't seen for 6 years" thing that will be going on. |
billng said: The Tight body suit he gets in is more than LESS than appealing. ugh ^Exactly, it looks like he's wearing a sports bra. Zensational said: Was a fun episode. I thought it was stupid that he was able to beat Cecillia so easily even with only having piloted it once, but then loses because he sword converts all his shield energy into his thermal weapon or whatever. There should be some trials for the protagonist at least, instead of the believing in the heart of the cards kind of thing. I hate it when it's luck/"raw talent". I was hoping she'd win by a landslide to show him his place, since a) he's only piloted an IS once; b)that was his first time in that IS as well; c) he doesn't know squat about anything related to IS. So why should he win against someone who's very knowledgeable in IS and one of the best in her country?! The only reason I keep watching this is because of Houki and the ED. Oh, and I liked that Yukana sings the ED in this ep. sorry for the rant. |

| Damn I keep forgetting this Anime's name. Any who I know this sounds cliche,but do you think the mechs are powered by friendship. Also no suprise the british girl fell in love with the lead. |
| that has to be one of the most lazily animated EDs i have ever seen |
| I like were this is going suits my watching mood and I have to say it has a nice spot in the fall line up I am following. I am glad they made the guy smarter and that he is not completely incapable of learning. |

Zer010 said: I am glad they made the guy smarter and that he is not completely incapable of learning. The not-so-bright main character is standard procedure. They have a lot of information to dump on the audience, and having the other characters teach him is the easiest way to do it. I think it could have been handled better, but it didn't really bug me. What I just can't accept is how Ichika has his own multi-million dollar mecha due to his "special circumstances", but he still has to share his room. With a girl. Really? |

Kenshin- said: ryanxwonbin said: This topic needs more Cecilia love. I can't possibly be the only one who likes her. D: She won't get a lot of love, it's the typical "I'm so pro, c'mon newbie fight with me or I will eat your cookies"-character, nowadays not really my type xD. But well, in fact, she's far way better than retard-best-friend x__x completly agree. imagine playing an online game or a sport , and your opponent start saying those things xD , you wont like him/her |
The fight was decent, but I'm not really loving most of the characters at the moment. No to mention I hate harems. Houki is such a cliche tsundere that I get no joy from watching her. At least Cecilia is hot. She made a classic mistake with her fangs/funnels/bits though. You should never have a reason to bring them within striking distance of a melee opponent.  |
 |
| This anime definitely has one of the best animation I've ever seen. though, I can't really say much about the story itself. -_- |
| Why would Cecilia's missiles not split to more missiles to overwhelm her enemy is beyond me. Costly as it is, a Macross Missile Massacre is probably the only safest way to dispatch an enemy (barring plot armor). |
| Wow, the animation and music in this anime is awesome! The fight scene was so cool XD Another childhood friend huh? She looks interesting as well ;D Just hope not EVERY girl will like him haha XD |

The not-so-bright main character is standard procedure. Because this guy just pisses people off. sciencewarrior said: I agree they have to do it one way or another but you can take things to far.They have a lot of information to dump on the audience, and having the other characters teach him is the easiest way to do it. I think it could have been handled better. You would expect that he at least learns some parts by himself, let him browse the web or something like that. Seeing as he didn't even know what type of work his sister did and is almost unknowing about those mecha's at all. Since those mecha's are super weapons in that world they should be what nuclear weapons are in are world. And since his sister is one of the first pilots not to mention a good pilot as well she must have a similar reputation in that world as Neil Armstrong in are world. Which makes me think that the male lead has been living in a cave till now without any communication to the outside world. sciencewarrior said: You have a point there.What I just can't accept is how Ichika has his own multi-million dollar mecha due to his "special circumstances", but he still has to share his room. With a girl. Really? I wondered about this as well i would expect at least some male personnel working in that facility, so why not put him in a room with one of the male staff. With such machinery they would need mechanics and what about the teachers are all of them female? Those things have not been explained yet. |

"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
Aversa said: Those things have not been explained yet. Do you realy want the writers to come up with some half-assed explanation? This is your typical mainstream show with every thing young boys like crammed into it. The targeted audience doesn't care about anything that goes beyond fanservice and action scenes. It's probably becoming a financial succes and that's all that matters to the producers. They don't strive to deliver something intriguing and unique. So don't waste your energy on that. |
| We'll see whats more to know next episode :) |
| This isn't the most interesting or exciting show this season but it's alright. It's not torture to watch and I like the battle scenes, besides I haven't watched a mecha in awhile so I might stick with it depending on how the next 2-3 episodes go. |
| hmm... this tsundere is getting on my nerves.. she seems so...common now. the girl in the preview.. i thought she was the same childhood friend, and realized later that they're 2 diff people, and for me, they look the same except for the hair/eye color and hairdo.. :/ still watching to see how things turn out.. :) |
 |
| Nice set up he performed a great show although he didn't won... that's good.. won't expect a super strong skills early in the series |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
