An OVA has been announced for "Infinite Stratos" to be released on October 30th, when the second season will still be airing. The title of the OVA is "Infinite Stratos Long Vacation Edition: Hitonatsu (Ichika) no Omoide" (一夏の思いで) which is a double wordplay on the word 一夏 and can mean "Ichika's Memory" or "Memory of One Summer". The OVA will last 40 minutes and the disc will contain more than 30 minutes of other video contents.

PV (YouTube, OVA part starts at 1:15)

Source: Yahoo News

IS: Infinite Stratos 2 - Hitonatsu no Omoide on MAL

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Saw this already. Seems like they will cover the rest of volume 4 along with some new content just to include all the girls.
And it came with the announcement of the Sarashiki siblings's seiyuus. And here I though Satou Rina would be Tatenashi. I had her set to play her ever since I read vol5. It still sounds close to Saitou Chiwa right? Right?? OTL
Either way, she's perfect for playing Tatenashi. That sexy voice fits Tatenashi alright.
Can't wait for her to shake up the waifu wars.

Cool, looking at the PV, this is definitely a fan-service OVA. Too bad it is only for 10 mins though.

I can't wait for the new IS next season. Highschool DxD and Date A Live are good, but IS is still the best.

Hmmm.. the OVA part of the PV does not show the Sarashiki siblings though I think, so what you talk about seems more applicable to the 2nd season than the OVA it seems...

Already seen this...

Will look forward to it. Wonder how well this will be adapted though. Seems like a lot of OVAs going around this year.

I just wonder if the OVA is a story adapted from the LN and is an anime original.

My first sentence already covered my impression for this coming OVA as vol4 was only half adapted from the previous OVA so it made sense to cover the rest of that here with some new content. And I was more excited about knowing Tatenashi's seiyuu than the content of the OVA so my comment does seem to refer to the 2nd season more. So yeah.

Cool. IS was always a guilty pleasure for me. Ichika is just so damn frustrating but the setting and the girls are really nice.

Looking forward to the OVA and season 2 as well. I heard something about it being a reboot of sorts?

That's the new content actually. The only summer festival in vol4 was the one with Houki and Ran that was already covered in the previous OVA. They seem to have made a new festival just to feature the girls.

^ So it seems my gut feeling has been right - that the OVA is mostly an anime original story.

More Infinite Stratos content is a plus in my book.

Looking forward to the second season along with the OVA.

Kinda confused here.
Is the OVA 40-mins long, or the disc will be 40-mins long with 30-mins of other video contents leaving only 10-mins for the OVA?

What does my initial post say? ThangLong himself is confused but you shouldn't. ;-)

I might be late at noticing this, but it looks like this BD and DVD is Vol.1 because TV airing ver. of ep.1 is also included.

Yeah, two weeks ago hpulley and I talked about this and confirmed the OVA will be an extended first episode and subsequently the OVA is named as vol.1 of IS2

There raw came out for few hours and it seems like it is 16 mins. instead of 40 mins. So weird.

I actually know about it as extended first ep. when TV ver. of first ep. aired, but didn't know that both of them would be included together in the same volume.

You mean the extra footage is separate from the footage aired on TV? I would have thought they mixed in the footage and it is not that straightforward to tell how many extra minutes of new footage is added until you actually time it....

But you said "I might be late at noticing this, but it looks like this BD and DVD is Vol.1 because TV airing ver. of ep.1 is also included." which implies you thought it is vol1 because the TV ep.1 is included. My point is that even without the TV ep.1 it seems they are ready to call it vol.1 just because it has the extended ep.1.

You mean the raw might come out of the actual ep. that include TV airing of ep.1 and the uploader just took that new part out? That makes sense. (I thought that why there's no OP but there's full ver. of ED when I saw it)

I first thought OVA is separate, then when I saw first ep. I learned that OVA is extend ver. of ep.1, then I saw the official site that both OVA and ep.1 are included. "I didn't even think that after learning that OVA is extended ver. of ep. 1 would be included in the same volume as the actual TV airing ep.1 "is what I try to explain.
