I really want to keep watching it but then again I really do not want to. I have forgotten how much I liked the girls and how much i really, really hate Ichika.

But that yuri date between Laura and Charlotte was gold. And as @Mogami-kun said before, this part was better than anything in season one.

I'd enjoyed the first season so much and I can't say that I did that with the first episode from the second season. I'm disappointed. I just hoped for more. The first season had a story line and that's gone at the moment. Hope that the 2nd episode is going to be better

OMG all that Laura in one episode gave me diabetes.

Lol at all those LauraXChar indications.

Great to see all the casts back again and the small moments they had talking.

Was weird out by the outing to the pool etc and was wondering why they animate it like that till i checked here that its gonna be included in the ova which is 40 GOD DAMN MINUTES!!! YEAHHHH

OP and ED sounds awesome as always with Minami Kuribayashi <3 and the female cast singing it respectively

Meh.
If so then it is a MEH that is very well done LOL

BTW

I was thinking how the swimming pool and night carnival has a digest feel of it, and then I remember this whole part is what will be in the OVA coming out later this month. So effectively what is in ep.1 is serving as an ad for the OVA !!

Also, after getting very impressed with the lewd voice of Saitoh Chiwa in Maken-ki OVA, I am again able to hear her lewd voice (this time as a girl) in the trailer after this episode X-D

The pool/festival scene was pretty disappointing as it was rushed for no reason. It would have turned out better if they chose one scene or the other.
There IS a reason. Read above ;-)

Mikenzb said:
It feels like they changed some voice actors, could just be me tho.
Quite a number of comments in Japanese forum said that they noticed the voice of the seiyuu has developed (no one said they feel the seiyuu have changed though) which given how many roles they have taken in between (for example, Hanazawa took on quite a number of roles that are outside of her usual typecast soft-spoken cute girl characters), perhaps it is understandable.

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.

I love IS, but I dunno how to feel about this first episode. Other than the rushed festival part, and the foreshadowings which were good (white haired chick and attack on military base were cool), the random lesbo-ish moments from Laura and Charlotte put me off...i mean, i wouldn't mind it if they were like that from the start but it's too random. I appreciate that they're becoming better friends but wtf, i didn't get the need for those scenes. Also, I have to wonder if Ichika is genuine, he's dense or he's acting, any of these are possible. I'd say he's genuine, like last season, but we'll have to see where this goes. last season was one of my fav harem animes, I hope this doesn't get weird...I've seen harem animes fall hard in the second season before

I didn't have high expectations but this was worse then i thought i was prepared for the brain death main but this episode looked more like a bad OVA then a actual episode.
It started of reasonable but the further it went into the episode the more OVA like things become it started with the melodramatic robbery scene.
Then the shoujo ai scene and after that at the swimming pool that narration really i am at a loss for words it's like the story writhers didn't even bother.

Lol totally agree with you on both accounts.

SO...season 2 is finally here! It certainly took long enough. Definitely a good first episode. Laura and Charlotte make a good couple :P They totally stole the spotlight and were badass. I'll be looking forward to this one.

They showed us what we want (more girls than mechs) :P

But I can't help but feel that the character's personalities are now more flat than they used to be. That might be because it's the first episode.

Kana Hanazawa and Marina Inoue are fantastic. I watched the first season dubbed but I think that I prefer the sub for this show.

Anyway, this is an awesome start. I kind of like IS as a slice of life but I'm sure the action will pick up as soon as next episode.

Lol, that's what I thought when I saw her. Even the clothes match mostly. The Ice Witch is on the hunt again.... FOR HALF-OFF BENTO!

Also, who cares about Ichika, we know male Harem MCs have to surrender their peen before the show starts. For me, Laura + Charlotte = OTP
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

I wasn't a fan of season one... But I'm still gonna watch it :P

On another note, the art and animation look cheaper and and rushed in some parts, compared to S1.

More of the same, but I'm glad the girls I like best got the first bit of action. The new one looks interesting - might just be the hair/eyes color combination though. I hoped for slightly better music this time around. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

Tried to watch it normally for the first 5 minutes or so, then gave up. Fast forwarded through the door-to-door invitations, shopping and maid/butler scene, the yuri ice cream, the amusement park fanservice. :/ OP/ED is not as nice as the first season's.

Char totally looked like Konoe Subaru in that butler outfit. ooo some yuri teasing!

is it just me or is Charlotte's eyes look more "sleepy" here

so what i get from this....the whole episode was basically commercial for the OVA lol

i see they are doing the "show the climax scene first" thing like in Season 1

Whew .. sorry has been a long time since I watched infinte stratos season 1 ,
but could it be that there's a LOT more fan service now ?
Anyway it bugs me a little.
To the plot ^^ I like it.
The new ones vs the old ones ?
damn I want to watch it.
I guess the new ones have a bit of an advantage and
they win through ... friendship or stuff ... xd pffff

I thought for sure Charlotte was going to get a nosebleed over Laura... Honestly, the Charlotte x Laura yuri-ish stuff seems like the germ of the harem end expressing itself. They already like each other so much and they both like Ichika, so it's not a huge stretch for them to like Ichika *together*.

Disappointed at the fast forward pool scenes.

Also appears the censored a little, at least on CR. Gunshot wounds got darken, may have been intentional.
For a longer version, probably with more of the pool scenes and less censorship, the extended version is coming out October 30th! This was supposed to be the OVA, sure felt like an OVA and what was supposed to be an OVA disc is now disc 1 coming soon to a store near you... so will be interesting to see what the 40 minute version looks like.
