What can I say about the sequel to the big hit known as Infinite Stratos? Infinite Stratos 2? More like Infinite Shit 2! The first season wasn't the greatest thing ever animated but how far are you willing to fall before you fall into the abyss known as IS2? Read on please!

STORY: 1

One could argue there is no story! Only emptiness. There is a story however and it sucks. If they had no specific storyline and instead centered on tournaments fighting for Ichika's happy sacks until they graduated, I would be totally unopposed to it and it would've garnered it a 7 or 8. Unfortunately ... it follows the light novels, and the light novel does something extremely groundbreaking: It puts in an evil organization. Never mind how original the name "Phantom Task" is. (Say it out loud! it sends shivers down your spine!). No anime or manga has ever DARED put in an evil organization into their storyline. EARTH SHATTERING! The planet is desperately trying to glue itself back together! Help! I'm entering space!

CHARACTERS: 5

IS2 gets half a full score only for it's character design. The girls are quite preetee!! I want to hold hands with Charlotte Dunois, pet Laura Bodewig's head, spy on Cecelia Alcott while she makes toilet, wipe my nuts all over Huang Lingyin's sleeping face, and ambush Houki Shinonono with my golden shower as she washes up after kendo practice. IS2 does not fail with the pretty ladeez!

They introduce two new chracters: Tatenashi the student council president (because that's required in every high school harem) and her ugly sister who would look fine without glasses but sadly only exists to serve those with a fetish for NURDZ!

Ichika Orimura.. Has changed.. During the first season he had this expression on his face that made him seem like a 5 year old in a older teen's body - In other words he looked like an idiot. Now Ichika is a cool calm Harley driving thug who takes nothing from no one and takes everything from everyone. He looks that way at least.

However one character really pissed me off. Tabane Shinonono the genius rabbit chimp hybrid. I enjoyed her in the first season, she was quite adorable and moe. However, her scene in the final episode was the most cringe inducing thing I've ever seen. It was bad enough they introduced a cliche "secret organization" into the mix but now they try to make the cute random critter-like Tabane all BA and overpowered in a scene that may have got some of you excited, but made me slap my hand right through my head. It's stuck in there and I can not see!!

SOUND: 8

The OP and ED for the first season were great. The OP for the second season on the other hand SUCKED! The ED was aight doe'.
The soundtrack production team really messed up picking this anime to create music for. They did wonderfully but there talents could have gone to a show that deserved it much more.

ART: 8

No complaints. The art and character design are great. As usual the mecha battles are excellently rendered although the "technology" (such as the mechs user interface) designs are very questionable.

ENJOYABILITY: 8

This show makes me want to barf into my lap just so I can see the barf and barf again to ease the nausea from watching this piece of shit. This is possibly the wor- wait what?? an 8?? N*GGA IS U HIGH?

Yea that's right! This show is very enjoyable! Yeaaa I said it! Overall this definitely deserves a 4, possibly less but the enjoyablity deserves an 8! ECHHI IS EPIC! EIE..IO! AND ON HIS FARM HE HAD A TSUNDERE! EIEIO! WITH A ITS NOT LIKE I WANTED TO HERE AND A ITS NOT LIKE A WANTED TO THERE! While the "main plot" is cringe worthy and should be blocked out of your mind sit back relax with a six pack and enjoy the fanservice.

This anime is highly recommended! FOR ANTS!!

I'm going to start off my reviewing career with the anime that got me into the whole thing. Love Hina! More like Love Shit! When I first finished the series I thought the same thing every other person without good taste said, "why'd it end? This is so good!". Well now I can say I wish it didn't end. In fact I wish it never even started. Read on to find out why.

STORY: 10

The story for Love Hina is surprisingly unique. A dense dorky guy makes a promise with a childhood friend and embarks on a humongous highway of harem hijinks when he grows up. ... I have never heard of such a plot before, so I have to give the story a 10 for its originality. The main character, Keitaro Urashima is trying to enter the University of Tokyo (Japan's Harvard or something like that) because he made a PROMISE to a CHILDHOOD FRIEND (GOSH F'N DANG IT) to enter the school together. A love triangle develops as ditzy girl Otohime Mutsumi enters his life, and she may or may not be the CHILDHOOD FRIEND that he made PROMISES to.

CHARACTERS: 10

The characters in Love Hina are extremely enjoyable. My favorite character would have to be Urashima Keitaro. He's always getting beaten up by Naru for being a pervert XD. My second favorite character is Naru Narusegawa. She's always beating up Keitaro XD. I think she might end up with Keitaro at the end, but I'm not sure since the anime was inconclusive. There's a chance that she won't end up with him. She got a fu*k ton of screen time and is featured center on every cover of the manga volumes but I think there's a chance Keitaro will end up with any of the members of his harem. There's so much drama, this anime is very unpredictable!

Other characters include Matoko the silly samurai girl, Su the primate, Kitsune the silly airheaded girl, and Mutsumi the other airheaded girl. Theres also Shinobu, the quiet submissive girl who is forced to cook lavish meals for her overlords every day. Apparently the anime scripters thought they were being mega creative when they decided to give an actual reason for her to like the protagonist rather than the crush route in the manga. It ended up making a lot more sense. After all, what parent wouldn't let their daughter stay in a hotel with a man who looks like a predator for an extended period of time?

There is also Kentaro, the man who spits into Keitaro's beef bowls and tries to pee on Naru's face.

SOUND: 10

The soundtrack is extremely memorable. Every song is great.

ART: 10

The artwork is excellent. Every scene was extremely coordinated without awkward juttery movements. The character designs were excellently adapted from the manga. I thought it was absolute genius that they were able to redraw the characters as they would look after a few weeks of gorging on trans fats and exercising a few second a day.

ENJOYABLITY: -20

Holy sh*t. This is a great entry level anime. However, If you've seen more than 10 series (even if they're generic harem rom-coms) this show will sicken you. This is the bottom of the barrel, you either start here or never look back. The Author and producers were EXTREMELY lucky that they picked an excellent time to eject this crap from there metaphorical anus. If they had released it now... well they wouldn't because no sane person in this day and age would allow this abomination to cross the pacific. In a time in America where shounen battle series was the face of anime, Love Hina thrived. In this present day in which we are aware of other sh*tty series that are still better, Love Hina is nothing but a source of cringe and regret.
