A pleasant watch, while rather cliche'd, I thought it still did them well.

I sincerely hope that no one is surprised about the harem thing happening. Only boy student in an all girls school? :) I hope that doesn't become the focus of the series though otherwise, it will kill it for me.

I like the idea of having energy shields with smaller micro-gundams that are open, makes the interactions more personal.

Has promise, hope it will turn a bit darker later on...

This episode wasn't as fun as the previous one, and I'm not liking the more apparent harem signs. The fight was good, and I'd like to have more emphasis on Houki rather than on random girls to add to the harem.

It was an okay episode, I was kind hoping the fight scene would be cooler and overall it was just less fun than the first. Houki irked me with her tsuness at the beginning.

So I guess we'll be seeing transitioning ED, every time Orimura adds on to his harem, we'll see the girl pop up. I personally want to see that One-eyed girl already.

Oh, and I can't believe I didn't recognize that the ED was sung by the same seiyu as Mio Akiyama, even though I knew Houki was voiced by her.

<3 her voice.

Not that bad but this episode reeks out of cliches though the outcome of the fight is a lil bit unexpected since I was expecting a sudden power-up (which happend) and win, but the lost is a bit unusual.

Anyway, the battle is somewhat entertaining so nevermind the ever so obvious flaws.

Also, it was so anticlimactic when Ichika lost. That really sucked.

Unoriginal mechs. They simply stole the Gundam Girl idea, not to mention that the chick's mech has fucking DRAGOONs, and does a very nice job mimicking Strike Freedom with that large rifle.

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.

Fun episode, the mech battle was kind of nice I assume it will be more about the relationships since all in all the mechs seem to be more for sport than for actual combat. Anyway will keep watching this.

Thumbs up for the going home after school club (^.^)

Must say I was quite surprised by the outcome of their dual though, thought it was kinda obvious he would win (which he did in way)
And that new twin tail girl looks interesting, just hope she's less Tsundere or he's going to have one hell of a hard time keeping his harem happy xD

So its gonna be a harem anime with "minimal" mecha elements or rather Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou with lame mecha design. Dropped! Moving on to far more interesting shows this season.

Fight was pretty entertaining to watch. Houki was pretty cute this episode.

Anyone noticed that in the ed sequence, not only did they add Cecilia but her seiyuu also sang the ed along with Houki's seiyuu?

His final attack used up all his remaining shieldenergy, so he lost.

Too bad a mediocre series like this one has such a budget for the animation it looks very good.

In regards to Ichika and Houki's relation I liked how she used too much force to throw Ichika on the ground but ultimately it's her expressions of tsun-tsun that ended up liking. It was obvious that should Houki train good Ichika his skills will improve with his IS since it's Biyakushiki (BTW nice name) and it has a sword.
I just loved that expression.
I know people will probably be saying that she is the classic tsundere but i like her and i think this Anime needs a character like her.
Since the male character is such a simpleton he needs someone firm to support him.
It was surprising tho first she denied being the sister of the inventor of that core and latter on she uses it to her advantage against that Sempai.

Speaking about that core even tho they say there only 467 of them it's kind of obvious that it's only a matter of time before others find out how to make those core or even improve them.
Since it's the new super weapon most country's would probably set there top scientists on projects to how to replicate and or improve those cores.

Yumekichi11 said:
I loved in Master mode Ichika's armor! His battle with Cecillia was amazing! It's exactly the type of battles I was looking for. Moreover Ichika busted all 4 funnels Of Blue Tears, which gets my props on that one. I nice finish to the fight with a beam saber! Go micro Gundams!
I liked this outcome as well.
Not only is Cecillia more fit as a representative but she is also has more brains and in my personal opinion a stronger personality then the male character.
That this fight became basically a draw was nice as Cecillia was put at her place since she is to arrogant but it also showed how much of a simpleton the male character is.
Since he went into battle without any knowledge about his machine, and from that point of view he didn't deserve to win either.

Yumekichi11 said:
It was just too bad for that stupid shield rule else Ichika would have won. Guess now a re-watch must it be for me to see Cecillia's naked body. Despite her voice being annoying still but all things her expression suggests that she fell in love with Ichika.
I thought so as well which probably also explains why she is in the ED.
The only problem i have with her is that she is to arrogant but i think that will lesson over the course of this Anime.

Yumekichi11 said:
Well alright next episode my favorite girl is coming
Because of the fights of this episode and since I like them, I know I know this hsow is goign to be great for me!
Yes i wonder what she will bring to this Anime.
What will her personality be like, i am looking forward to next week.

The only thing that bothers me about this Anime is that the male lead is to much of a simpleton other then that i like it.

Oh god, now Cecilia fell for him too. =P

The action was pretty nice I must say. Ichika's IS was cool and he did pretty good. Not to mention that he only fought in default mode and not even properly synced with the IS yet.

Nice episode! =)

I guess we can officially state that Cecilia joned harem.
Harem members count: 2.
Next member will appeard in 3rd episode. Not sure whether she'll join already, though she should since she's a 2nd osananajimi.

Well, this episode wasn't as good nor entertainig as first one. Still, not that bad. With appearance of Lin Yin in next episode it should be more fun.

Yes that attack uses shield energy for attack power. Bit strange the attack doesn't automatically stop when you have 1 HP left...

This episode was in a way better than the previous one. The fight was interesting but I think that it would have been better without their self-centered monologue.

It seems like next week's episode is more comedy oriented, I'll be looking forward to it.

the idea is that you know when to use it so that you don't deplete all your energy. probably a manage the reckless and the noobs, to which he was both. also gotta take into account there is an energy reserve specifically for that absolute defense thing.

I do wonder if Ichika is bound to represent someone from the Gundam series. Anyone reminded of any character from any Gundam series? Despite that I still think he looks like the main hero of Kurogane no Linebarrels, I do stress out here similar.

Compared to it's equivilant Sky Girls and arguably Strike Witches, they kept the fanservice to a bare minimum, no panty shots so far and the shower scene is as far as we get. Quite refreshing even if it is seemingly generic

I only watched like two Mecha Animes, so this type of fights is pretty new to me and I got really excited during the fight in this episode.
Also the animation is awesome and Houki is cute in tsundere mode :P

This will be ordinary harem with non-epic battles.

Inform me if there'll be global war or many dead bodies or at least great battles :)

I was a bit suprised by that episode, I thought it would be more of a typicall first fight for the protagonist, where he comes from behind and wins. The action scenes are really well done and I like the background art as well, fairly decent series so far.

Infinite Stratos is absolutely marvellous in it's absolute genericness. I do like how Ichika basically lost by default though, plus the relative lack of fanservice is just so refreshing.

I can't help but wonder why Ichika's magical shield ignoring weapon even exists, though. The IS aren't made for actual combat, so why the hell would anyone need a weapon that can potentially kill someone? ._o
