Well then you might like Seitokai Yakuindomo, since they quite literally talk about sex. (though there's no action or anything.)

It's also got my favorite Yuu Kobayashi. Usually reverse trap voices.

Worst.

If they made the show revolve around random moments of Charlotte I would have enjoyed it so much more.

Also ITT, I just looove how a lot of people are stating their opinions as facts. "Worst anime EVER!" "Holy shit this season is seriously full of shit!" You hated the show. Watched all the way till the final episode, then stated it was shit. Hahaha it's FREAKING RIDICULOUS!

Is it so hard to DROP an anime!? Heck I hated Qwaser so I dropped it. Did I go to the forums to whine like a bitch about every episode I watched? Hell no. In the end, you guys are the joke.

Some people here seem to watch all the episodes with the sole purpose of bashing the whole shows afterwards. What is the logic of doing such pointless things is what I ask myself everytime I see such ludicrous comments.
And it's amusing to see how vocal people around here are, and even more to know that none of their opinions are worth a cent. Infinite Stratos sold so much that is one of the best selling anime of all time. People can complain and flame this anime all they want, but nothing is gonna change that this anime was a huge best seller that will forever be remembered as one of the most successful franchises in the history of Japanese animation.

Series felt tacked together, rushed and weird at times, especially towards the end, however fun feel to it and some likeable characters so I didnt score it really low. Shame their kiss was interrupted.

The progression from oh its a boy to I love him felt rather quick for some of the characters and odd compared to other harem series (Namely Laura and Cecilia). Houki's tsun attitude seemed misplaced at times to the extent that I was thinking 'come now, your just being a b*&%h'. Cecilia reminded me of drill from Ladies vs butlers, similar character I guess.

Left wondering what big sisters plans for the world, her little sister and how back she has manipulated things.

I dont know if it was a bad translation but wondering about leads blank, forgotten past. Was the girl with white hair a personification of his suit? and was the white knight a personification of the second release of his suit? Id say at least one was because it was the same for Laura when she went all nuts.

The only thing this anime did well in was the beautiful sky/scenery. The rest was kind of mediocre. :(

doushite?? i read some of the comments and there are a lot who don't like houki?
as for me, i like her for Ichika.. :DD

But overall, i don't like anyone of those main girls. Tsk.
I love Orimura, Chifuyu (esp. in her swimSuit. kyaaaa) and Shinono, Tabane (the genius who planned everything.. waaaaa!)

I expected that the ending will be ichikahouki.. But I started to doubt because she seems like a supporting character in most of the episodes.. She almost never appear..
But anyway, Im still happy..

I didn't like this anime much though I expected a lot because the animation is great and the characters are all nice.. tsk. too bad!
7/10 for ichikaHouki! :DD

Yes, why having an opinion about something when you can just follow everyone else? This anime sold like hotcakes, therefore it must be good and the complainers are objectively wrong.

I'm a Charlotte fan and I was hoping Ichika ends up with her T.T Nice episode but the fight was a little too rush...
I was hoping If Charlotte din't win the other heroines,Ichika doesn't choose the others, cause Charlotte was simply too hot. Of course with the fan service and the change of sex in the middle of the storyline xD(Not literally GENDER CHANGE... Yeah u know what I'm talking about ;) )

I give the episode a decent 4/5 and the overall a perfect 10/10 but - 1 point which makes it 9/10 as I was hoping there would be a longer season...(24 eps instead of 12?)

I REALLY REALLY loved IS! I hope there would be a second season, and the series keeps continuing! :D

There's a certain line to symbolize the obliviousness of a male character when it comes to romance. Well, the MC of this show did not only cross that line but rather threw it on a table and humped it all night long. I can't count the moments in which I wanted to smack some sense into him.
And then dare to choose Houki when Charlotte is so much more awesome? Ugh, so much rage towards the MC.

The IS parts saved this show from a way lower rating than it actually received from me.

3.5/5 for this episode.
Do love that it re-emphasize that Houki is the main girl as the anime started and ended(presence) with her.
---------
Overall

Ichika is indeed really dense.

I think the story did an ok-good job on Houki.There's development in her character, yet there is still potential for her to develop even more. Not the most interesting girl but likeable and has the presence of the main girl. I will definitely prefer her to end up with Ichika more than any other girls.

Not much development for Cecilla and Rin which is quite a waste. Since the 2 of them are the 2nd and 3rd girl aka the only girls that has the biggest chance to win. There will still be space left for more story if these two characters are more developed. The other 2 are more interesting, but the story should have developed them more instead of the other 2(or 1, namely Charlotte).

Charlotte and Laura <3
My 2 favourite characters of the show. I will prefer IchikaxCharlotte ending if it isn't IchikaXHouki ending. I ship(friendship) CharlotteXLaura. If only Laura appeared earlier, as she is CUTE!

6.5/10 , round up to 7/10
Not a good show, but at least I manage to finish watching all the episodes that I failed to do it for a lot other shows.

Officially the manga series hasn't ended yet, but I still wish people would stop complaining about the fact that he wound up with Houki at the end of the anime.
We are merely bystanders and have no right to judge that which we didn't create ourselves.
To put it in perspective: there are 5 girls in the main cast.
If Ichika got paired with any of the 5 it'd make for a terrible ending in the eyes of the 4 other factions.
I've never seen one show create so much strife in the anime community.

I just wish people could learn to man up and go with the flow.
Until ya all do, my motto for this show will remain:

That's some awesome sister right there. Doing all that.

Okay, wtf were with those things in Ichika's mind? It kinda looked like Houki and Laura, but I don't think it was. Were they the spirits of the IS?

Yeah, it was obvious Chifuyu was the White Knight. Pretty damn obvious in fact.

And finally, first girl wins, except not really. Will they kiss? Nope. But I went "Awww!" anyway.

It feels like they left a lot of stuff out of the story. Nice animation in the battle scenes and the character designs are cute, but there is a lot of wasted promise. At least he chooses a girl instead of the typical harem cop out.

I thought Infinite Stratos wasn't bad. It's actually one of my favorite anime now. :D
Glad there's going to be a season 2 for it. But, the Houki ending didn't bother me too much. And even though there was just a bunch of random stuff each episode, they did a pretty good job of explaining everything and the sad backstories of the girls.:( Also, in episode 12, HOUKI'S SISTER SET THAT BERSERK "IS" LOOSE JUST TO SET UP A FIGHT FOR HOUKI? o-o. AND WHY DID CECILIA HAVE TO RUIN THAT KISS. DAMN IT.

I really did have to force myself to watch from epi 6 and up. I'm glad I finished it but it doesn't really feel like anything happened...at all. What did they accomplish during the series? Nothing except Houki getting a personal IS (and the new characters being introduced). I'll give this an 8/10 but I'll happily watch S2 of this whenever it premiers. Onto the OVA at some point.

The internal dialogue with Byakushiki and White Knight was too drawn out and detracted from what could have been a great mecha fight. Altogether it was a very unsatisfying finale.

I was honestly enjoying IS until episodes 11 & 12 started, so I'll pretend they didn't happen and resign myself to read the LNs over the summer. I am also not a fan of anime adaptations altering the original content for any reason, which after doing some research is what happened in regards to the Gospel.

Houki ending makes me want to vomit. She is nowhere close to being the best girl.

Charlotte > Laura >>>> Houki = Cecillia = Rin

Char and Laura were the saving grace of this series and with any luck they will get ample screen time, along with Ran, when season two begins. I'll check out the OVA tomorrow and hopefully wash away the bad taste left by this subpar ending.

Season 1 Finale: 4-5/10 (Houki ending is fail)
Season 1 Overall: 7-8/10 (Charlotte and Laura ftw)

There were redeeming qualities throughout the series, but those last two episodes really took a nosedive.
The ending scene wasn't bad per-say, but the fight before that was underwhelming.

As people said earlier, the animation of this show was wasted on a crappy script/plot. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the source material and if the anime was doomed from inception.

Even with low expectations, I really thought this series could go somewhere, don't get me wrong I enjoyed the humorous parts and most of the characters' quirks, but the male lead was just so useless and dense...

In total I gave it a 6/10, it felt like it was a dog chasing its own tail, making little progress and starting to repeat itself... maybe I'm being too harsh.

The fight was ok. Still don't get why Byashushiki has only 400 shield and it runs out SOO quickly...
Also, his second form only gave him a shield....

Houki's sister made it so houki could become a star :D

Love the ending but why did cecilla have to ruin it :(

Houki's sister was definitely behind the whole thing. I thought that much was obvious, but I guess people are still confused? Also, I'm assuming the white-haired girl is the 'soul' or 'spirit' of Byakushiki.

Anyway, the final battle was rather disappointing. Not to say that I had a lot of expectations for it (because I really didn't) but even then, it was just below average. The final scene with Ichika and Houki was heartwarming though, I guess. ^^;
