I seriously do not why people hate Ichika that much. He just does not have much libido, you can't say that he is retarded. Compared to many other harem heroes: Yuki Rito from To Love Ru, Muneakira from Samurai Girls,Natsuru from Kampfer--Ichika is a real man.Quite contrary to what some trolls have stated, he is not some pussy. He is fairly willing to fight. You may say that IS is random, but that's because we are merely visiting the first three novels. If I recall correctly Toaru no Index was fairly random too in it's first season, with not much connection.Starting from light novel five, the series gets darker and edgier, with more fighting as well as fan service.

It's official IS = SW (Strike Witches)

10 episodes of randomness (including many girls from many different countries)
2 episodes of "PLOT".........exactly what the two seasons of Strike Witches did.

The only difference is that in Strike Witches we don't have a retarded male protagonist.

Either way, I don't hate this show, I love the girls and there have been a few episodes that were "good".

Other than that.....pretty big disappointment, there's a lot of WASTED material.


Strike Witches was a much more fun show, though, in large part because the characters were a lot more likeable. Sanya, Yoshika, and Mio Sakamoto were all much more entertaining characters than, well, anyone in IS.

Tabane is like a god or something, isn't she? Summoning things out of nothing. Weird girl. Like the way she's actually a genius underneath that Genki Girl-personality of hers.

Even Cecilia gets more screentime than Lingyin. :/
Ah well I love the various emotions Chifuyu exhibited during this episode. She was irritated with Tabane and she looked cute drinking that soft drink/beer. I wish she would be less uptight more often. :)

It's amusing that Tabane can make what she calls a "fourth generation" IS when there aren't even any third generation ISs.

I don't get why Ichika is the only one who can deal the final blow, isn't the 4th generation IS stronger still? O-o

Even if the girls take Orimura's advice and make their moves on Ichika (which is what I'd thought they've been doing since the beginning) I doubt that blockhead would realize what was happening... poor Char, oh and the others :P

The resemblance between Tabane and her sister is so non-existent, one could say they're almost opposites seeing how Tabane is a fun-loving genius with pink hair and her sister is more of a black-haired lone wolf, their personalities are like black and white.


Aka Tsubaki looks pretty badass on it's own, will be great to see it in action and maybe now Houki will be of some use in battles.

This 'White Knight' was obviously Orimura, Tabane made that much pretty clear, but did they ever find out why all those missiles launched in the first place? I'd think that would be a huge priority after such an incident.

So all that talking about strategy concludes in "everybody attack that bad IS randomly while Ichika tries to do the final blow".

Houki finally gets her personal IS. Is pretty cool to have a sister working in that field.

Tabane is funny. :))

Cecilia wearing that black lingerie. Nice.

Houki finally gets her own IS. Finally. She must've felt so left out. Tabane is so full of energy. Are they biological sisters? They look nothing alike. Her voice is a bit to high if you ask me.

This 'White Knight' Tabane was talking about is obviously Orimura.

Looks like it's coming full circle. This rough IS is the one they were fighting in the very beginning of the series.

It must be nice when you have connections, to get new IS just like that. Sister or not. Some story segments this late? Alright...

I don't hate this anime, while Ichika is the usual clueless male, at least the girls are interesting enough. I may be completely biased because Kana though.

So that's the person who created all IS....of course it is...

More sister complex shit and of course the sister is White Knight because being subtle is an impossible thing in this show.

Oh and of course the government is sending out inexperienced kids instead of trained soldiers to deal with this super IS because we need plot and drama right?

The Thin Red Line is a very good movie btw!

Akatsubaki looks cool! I like the red color scheme. Damn, 4th gen already. Meanwhile, poor Charlotte is still stuck with her 2nd gen.
