Need we say anymore about Ichika? He's already one of the biggest retards in anime history.

But seriously, come on, after 9 episodes of nothing we have episode 10 coming up with... more nothing. Now you just watch they'll throw a season 2 at us. >_>


the only plot worthy thing so far was what, the drone IS, the people/things behind Laura and *maybe* Charlotte's family? Sadly I'm sure they can fit all that into the last 2 eps >.> But oh, I will rage if they announce a season 2, especially since they converted Laura and Cecelia so quickly into the mindless harem (please oh please dont ruin Charlotte or even Houki)

I want to vent so badly when I see some of the comments on this ep but then I remind myself, I've watched worse :(

well Laura changed about as fast as Cecilia did....

Confirmed: Despite his vast and impressive harem the only girl he really wants and that gets him excited is .... his sister. wow wincest? seriously even Charlotte noticed, he keeps trying to friend zone everyone but his sister. HNNNNNNG indeed at Charlotte and also Laura. they've stole the show. Rin and Cecilia are lagging behind and despite getting an IS Houki is even further behind. didn't expect her sister to be like that though.

Ichika has gotten way too dense now though. red hair girl will be in the harem eventually too and he won't even notice. how could he not have wanted to do things to Laura or Charlotte here. he never seemed this dense before.

Wow, it's getting even worse (and yet I still watch it...)

No personality consistence whatsoever with most characters, and the plot... well, amazing plot if:
PLOT = Purposelessly Ludicrous Offbeat Tale.

Anyway, I'm starting to believe that Ichika is actually obfuscating stupidity... in other words, he may be a horny playboy playing dumb.

I heard from the latest light novel volume that Chifuyu and Ichika might not be related. Also I think that present that Ichika bought is for Houki because I think her birthday is coming up.

Yeah, This series isn't all that original, but how many new anime are nowadays? The art is good (except for the aforementioned sun tan oil scene) and there is a girl for pretty much all preferences, so if you are still watching it after 8 episodes it can't be that bad. I really wouldn't expect too much plot development from this series as it seems like its trying to set itself up for a season 2 which I personally would warmly welcome. I think Laura's flip is more understandable than Cecilia's given that she's the, I haven't been exposed to males and have lived my life on a battlefield setting. So given that this is the first time she's around a male thats the brother of her idol. anyway Laura+twin tails+swimsuit=HHHHHNNNNNGGGG!!

I agree with you there, her personality changed just a bit 'too' much, it's more or less the complete opposite of her previous behaviour.

Even so she was cute as hell and I absolutely loved her opening scene,
Just imagine waking up to find a naked loli in the bed hugging you (^.^)

Ichika having the hots for his sister was a bit unexpected as well, especially since he does not show any real apparent interest in the other girls around him.

Ignorance is bliss really does match in this case xD
Then again if he did start to show a serious romantic interest in one of the girls, that would most likely cut off all other routes or one of them would snap and kill him ^^

Laura, in bed, already. Ichika, you're going fast forward, without even knowing it. How do you do it? Oh wait, I already know how. Too bad I can't play dumb.
And really, this scene, was actually good. Not because it was awesome in any kind of way, it just perfectly shows how dense Ichika is.

Also, doesn't this look... extraordinarily bad?

Like... blurry edges and everything. The frames before it looked fine, and the frames after it look fine, so... what happened here?

Also, there was Ran in this episode, which means it's automatically full of win.
I very much approve.
And why did I end up writing this much in a post about IS? ┐(-。ー')┌

Well technically, just because it's your sister doesn't mean she could be hot when dressed in a swimsuit.
It's kind of like a privilege many girls have. They tend to look pretty attractive in swimsuits.
But of course, there are exceptions, as with everything else.

This ep made me ROFL almost the entire time. Yanderes! Oh how i just love Yanderes.

Few things that bothered me though.

First, Charlotte starts wearing girls uniform and now Ichika becomes dense towards her like the rest of the girls? Man, all that effort acting like a boy just to getting close to him, getting fed and changing clothes in the same room, even finally being naked together in the bath, wasted in in a blink of an eye. I just feel sorry for the girl who practically had the most development with him, only to end up receiving the same treatment after her gender is revealed like it all never happened. Sigh...To me she was the one most deserving of him. Ichika is such a faggot.

Second, Laura. It's not just her personality, even her voice acting had a complete transformation, at least when ever she's with Ichika. Her excessive blushing rendered her unable to repel a mere beach ball. Where the hell did all her mad skills went off to?

Complaints aside, the fact that Ichika was blushing at his Chifuyu really surprised me. Who could've expect an anime like this contain SISCON? >:D

I guess now is the appropriate time to be posting this.

Just to have with Oosran's response, and so in showing how dense is Ichika..."Ichika, you talking about yourself?" Yes you are! ROFL!

The only thing I hate about this show is that they give so much screen time to Ichika and Charlotte, and in the end if he ends up with anybody, he'll probably end up with Houki. Like someone said, that present he bought is more likely than not for her. I really love Charlotte, and I don't mind the scenes, but seriously if he's not going to end up with her, then they should stop it. I actually would not mind if he ended up with Houki, its just that if they are, they should have more scenes than they do now.

As for the episode, Charlotte and Laura were so cute!! And yeah, Ichika's reaction to his sister was a little surprising, but I just rolled with it. I decided not to over think it. The episode was just full of funny moments and I enjoyed it.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

For being a beachepisodes it has a couple of + and - points.

first off, at the beginning i really thought he was sleeping with charlotte, but the fact that it was laura, is just awesome, i loved the opening scene, <3 laura.

then houki's sister is far more pink/fluffy cute than anyone expected, cause she was some kinda IS-mastermind, look forward to seeing more of that.

the fact that the beach-part started late, it ended in lots of pictures than actual animations, also they kinda ruined laura with the ponytails, could barely recognize her, but she was cute.

and chifuyu was prolly the best looking in her swimwear.
the others were kinda out of context, expect for some fanservice.

charlotte was a bit overactive, like always she gets more airtime with ichika than any other girl, which is kinda meh to me.

yes shes cute, but ichika is too stupid for that anyway.
so for me:
laura
houki
charlotte
rest

I might be one of the few, but Chifuyu honestly didn't look ALL THAT in my opinion. And I would agree that Ichika was probably more so shocked than getting a boner form seeing her in a bikini, that's probably not something you see everyday. Laura was decent, but the Beach scene wasn't that attractive for her in my opinion, but loli isn't exactly number one thing anyway. She was MUCH more hot during the bed scene IMO, and her personality was more hot compared to the shyness at the beach.

I'll really be pissed if Houki winds up beating charlotte. This is exactly the kind of crap that pissed me off in Shuffle!. Sia was clearly the object of his affection and getting the most screen time, and the background chick comes out of nowhere and wins cause she's the childhood friend. If that happens here I will shun IS.

Even though Ichika was indeed a big oaf (Charlotte's words) throughout the episode, it was actually pretty funny! =)

Laura has her own Black Hare squad to pick out a swimsuit for her? Well, they did a pretty good job. Laura with twin tails! *hnngggg*

All the girls fighting over him of course. Shame Houki didn't join the fun at all. We only saw her in the beginning and in the end. Cool that she'll be getting her persona IS though!

Wait. Did this just turned into an incest anime all of a sudden? The guy wants to fuck his sister. I can't blame him, i want to fuck his sister too but am not her brother.

Inconsistency full the way. Laura was ok being naked in bed with him but she was embarrassed getting seen in a swimsuit.
But i must admit i will like her to teach me arm wrestling like that too. That hand got some nice naked thigh and pussy squeeze.

Again i must declare my amazement at females melting by instantly seeing our blockhead protagonist. How good looking is this bastard suppose to be for making every female acting like a dog in head by seeing him.
Is he wearing some magical hormone perfume?
Hey they pretty much all realized the guy is a complete blockhead and yet they still go crazy. Question to the females reading. Wouldn't a guy that is such a blockhead turn you off? The guy is pretty close to an idiot.
