| It's funny how, despite being unmanned, that enemy IS still had boobs. And well, to keep it short, I am disappoint. Because I'm unable to keep things short. Very much so. And most of that disappoint comes from the lack of Ran. But hey, even this anime can be good for something. Like... eating breakfast. It's much easier to concentrate on my breakfast when watching something as dumb as this. Oh and, moar disappointment, because derpboi comes and saves the day. But of course, there's more. Like... random power-ups out of fucking nowhere. Speaking of which, stupid Ichika. How can you say Houki's usual hairstyle suits her better? D: Why can I never have the ending I want in harem anime? |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| The characters are pretty good , but the story wouldn't have been that great since it doesn't go the same as the manga. To bad they didn't kiss :D , to much jealousy. |
| this show was not bad but... Run for your life Ochika!!! Rin is a freaking YANDERE!!! |
| bruh |
| ending was meh 7/10 |
 |
| houki ending? what the fuck were they thinking? cant be serious.. |
| Fuck this shit. CHARLOTTE ENDING NOW DAMN IT! |
| I guess is not bad but I feel like it's too quick |
 |
| It's not a Houki ending. That's how it ended in the third light novel, but it was a bit rushed. The girl who kissed Ichika in the end was not Houki, but Natasha Philas, the pilot of Silverio Gospel in the third novel. |

Avarice said: Houki ending What? That's horrible! I'm glad I looked here before watching the last episode; dropping this show NOW. andnotafuckwasgiventhatday.jpg Also rated 2. |
| The lowly maggot under the trash. |
| I hope there will be next season in the near future. Can't wait Tatenashi-san appearing ^_^ |
| sorry, but my english is bad |
| I liked this show and the ending with Houki and Ichika was cute. However, it would have been awesome if this show was only girls. |
| Mhh.. like the Houki ending.. but the ending of the series could be better.. |
jetlee1992 said: Did I miss something? Didn't Ichika buy a gift for someone in episode 9 ? Who did he give it to? I figured kind of early that it was for Houki's birthday, but i never saw him give it to her. Maybe it was the ribbon he gave her? I'm not sure either |
 |
| houki ending was kinda expected right? anyway, ichika's dream was weird, fight was okay and the ending was a bit too harem. ah well, it was an okay episode but not the best one. |

| Way to finish with an ass pull victory over some random enemy we know nothing of. Gets a 6/10 from me. And hah, suck on it. Houki ending. |
| hmm ye, and houki's sister is waay to suspicous. |

| Houki ending, not the worst i guess. Still would have rather had a Laura or Cecil one though. The girl would be a manifestation of the IS core thingie, i'm guessing that's why his wounds healed and he went into hax mode as well. I think this may well get a second season. 6/10 overall. |

| Well that was that. So most of the fights were actually set up by "the genius" and Byakushiki was actually the only IS that's operable by males/Ichika? Is that right? Last battle was pretty good. Nice to see Byakushiki's second shift. Kinda wanted to know more about the enemy though, but many things were left unexplained in the end so I kinda got used to it. Houki ending was pretty nice, but I totally expected the rest to butt in of course. Cecilia laugh was pretty creepy as well. =P In the end it was an OK series. Just don't think too much about the inconsistencies and unexplained points and you'll be left with a pretty funny and laid-back series. 6/10 for me. It was just too bland to be more. |
 |
| The first episode was pretty cool, but everything after that was kinda shitty.... 5/10 from me. |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| bit disappointed 8/10 think its done yet? :)) |
| O.K I did not think the anime was that horrible and although I don't hate Houki, some part of me believed that Charlotte and Ichika could happen b/c of all their interactions. I really did not want them to kiss, so I was actually glad Cecilia interrupted. Houki is my second favorite, but that does not mean I am fine with her ending up with Ichika. I prefer Charlotte a thousand times more. Charlotte *huge gap* > Houki > Laura > Lin > Cecilia |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Typical harem ending, I was expecting more of IS, but after the 5th episode I kinda gave up. |
 |
| just waiting for season 2 in the fall now |
| Good anime 7/10 but ending wasnt that good.. |
 |
| Wow..that was really rushed and half of it made NO sense at all. White haired woman in Ichika's dream? (who was that?) Mech grows wings of light? (Code Geass/Evangelion? seriously they used terminology i didnt understand) No one questions how ichika came back? we never saw his IS transform into version 2 Rushed final battle.. though i liked the OST's for IS |
| Houki?! seriously? The ending was fucking terrible, otherwise as a whole the series was good. Why would they give charlotte so much screen time and development just to get shafted in the end? The is like Shuffle ALL OVER AGAIN |
| solid 2/10 |

The is like Shuffle ALL OVER AGAIN Shuffle was made to be a VN (As well thats what it was first and it was a far better VN than it ever can be as that cluster fuck of an anime that changed everything it could) However IS is a LN series and this isn't the end this isnt even the epilogue of volume 3 its left rather open - Its leaves it quite open for a season 2 between fall and winter seasons. |
| *Sigh* I guess I have to correct the masses... FIRST OF ALL: This is NOT a Houki ending, since this is NOT an ending at ALL!!! Second of all: The whole fucking episode was a huge joke and it's completely appropriate that this aired in Japan on APRIL FOOLS DAY. LASTLY: This whole Winter season is one HUGE disappointment, the only good show gets INDEFINITELY suspended and we have to deal with shit like this... |
| 6/10 Such a god damn waste of good Seiyuu and Animation(except for very small segments where the characters come in 3D while fighting which was crappy). And the background music was too much for this series. It screams epic but the show itself doesn't feel that epic. And the lame final boss was an unmanned fighter. As for harem shows this season, I enjoyed "Kore wa Zombie desu ka" more. |
 |
| 4/10 Thank goodness the conclusion, I can only hope that if this gets a season sometime in the next year(which is very possible with the high sales) that it might be better written or that 8bit just moves on all together. Very few things redeemable for this anime and as harem this is possibly one of the worst harems out there.(But hey, it's better than Freezing and Rio at least). |

| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
| Fav Char is Houki and I'm pissed they didnt kiss at the end, although atleast I now know Ichika isn't too fucking stupid rofl Would be pretty chuffed with a second season tbh Overall: 8/10 Story: 4/10 Character 9/10 Art: 9/10 Enjoyment: 10/10 |

| It was one of the more fun shows that I've watched recently so it gets a 7/10 because of that. It was incredibly entertaining despite some of the shortfalls. Although, I could never get over the awful CGI...but then again anything with mecha these days is done with lazy CGI so I guess that's normal. It's not like the good ole days where every suit was hand drawn and looked great..lazy animators and cheaply done shows are future I guess. Dare I say that I would have preferred this if it lacked the mecha element and it was just another harem? At least then it wouldn't be fooling anyone with false promises of hot blooded fighting. Lastly..this was fucking ridiculous. I thought I was rewatching Gundam 00 with the naked in space nonsense.  |
| Ok™ |
| I thought the last episode was pretty good actually. The fight scene was pretty cool - so basically Tanabe set everything up so Houki would have a "grand debut"? :P Almost kiss for Houki. Too bad everyone else interrupted - a true harem ending, right :P Still, I liked the characters and the music (lol). Animation was pretty good I thought. Er, yea, "plot"? Not so much XD Still, I'll give it a 8/10 |
| WHERE'S MY CHARLOTTE END. KILL ICHIKA. |

But it is....that's why I'm so pissed....I was wondering why with all these Charlotte fans, why I'm one of the only ones who's pissed....it seems most people who didn't like houki seem to think this was an open ending, and sadly its far from it...he CLEARLY chose...so I'm with Kanon-Kun...KILL ICHIKA |
| Well, now it's finally over. Not sure whether to go with a 5 or 6. |
 |
| He did not chose. It all happened according to the novel. Moreover, in the novel, the one who kissed Ichika in the end was Natasha Philas, the pilot of the Silverio Gospel, the animators just skipped that. In addition, Ichika is still unaware of anyone liking him more than a friend. |
| |
| Bad on so many levels... And really, a Houki ending? What were they smoking when thinking up the script? 3/10 + 0.44 because of Char = 3.44/10 = 3/10 They created such a great character and just let her join the harem... Such a waste. |
| I like the series in general, it was comic and had good battles. The final was a little bit bad, but comic. I love when all of them were battled with the unpiloted IS. I hope that they produce a 2nd season, because it still unexplained things. |
| The battle sequences were pretty good. For a short show, it wasn't all that badl. I really liked most of the characters. Sent with Mal Updater |
