| According to MJ Bunko's news letter, Yumizuru Izuru's light novel "IS <Infinite Stratos>" was announced to get a TV anime adapation. Cover of IS novel vol.1 Picture of the main mecha "IS" IS novel has been published by Media Factory since May 2009 and a manga adapation has been serialized in Comic Alive since May 2010. Synopsis: Japan engineered an armed powered exoskeleton "Infinite Stratos" (IS) and it became the mainstream of weapons. Since only women can operate IS, women dominate the society over men. Orimura Ichika is a 15 year old boy and accidentally touches an IS placed in the IS pilot training school. He is found to be the only man who can operate IS and forced to enter the training school. Ichika's busy school life surrounded by girls has begun. Source: Scan of Sono Namo J vol.96 |

| That mecha looks pretty darn unique. I like it! |
| "Ichika's busy school life surrounded by girls has begun." Sounds like an excuse for a harem. Although, it has mecha, should be worth checking out for an ep of 2. |
dtshyk said: Since only women can operate IS, women dominate the society over men. I get that this will be the usual(probably average) harem anime....but I like the sound of this :D |
| If it's anything like Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari, count me in. The art looks pretty neat. |
| roger that |
| Haha, sweet! Sounds like a must watch for me. |
| What I wanted: Manliness What I got: Shenjougahara with megaman missile. and, I call this Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha without magic but irons. |
| A harem maybe? |
| like most ppl here said it will probably turn out to be some average harem anime ... but when i saw pic of mecha ...i really hope it will turn out more then that...this anime adaptation is really potential and it would be good if it had both ..... hehe ...anyway i have high expectations and i really hope it will turn out great :D |

| Yes, finally, my waiting has come to an end!!! |
| looks pretty interesting, going to keep my eye on it |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
| Lame protagonist means a lame Anime >_> |

| Looks like this is another Code Geass. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| If only they could keep that whispy, airy coloring for the anime. Skinkai does a good job at that, but I can't think of anything else that comes close. |

CCZilla said: *looks at my avatar, then my signature* I feel like I've heard a story like this before. I also think I saw this in Parallel Dual. Well, this sounds generic, boring and a harem waiting to happen. I think that everything will just be everything we've seen befor.... SHHHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT! THAT'S FREAKING KILLER! It's like Nanoha but without the "this is a mecha anime in disguise |

| A mecha x harem combination? Not really interested... |

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-06-21/infinite-stratos-light-novels-get-tv-anime-green-lit The 96th "Sono Na mo J" flyer is announcing this month that a television anime adaptation of Izuru Yumizuru's IS (Infinite Stratos) light novel series has been green-lit. The "popular high-speed school battle romantic comedy" centers around the IS Academy: a school for training the pilots of the Infinite Stratos weapon system, which can only be used by females. Candidates plucked from girls from countries all over the world are brought here — as well as one boy named Ichika Orimura. As it turns out, Ichika is "the only male in the world who can use the IS." His classmates include Hōki Shinonono, a childhood friend. Media Factory's MF Bunko imprint will publish the fifth volume of the light novel series with okiura's illustrations in Japan on June 25. Kenji Akaboshi launched a manga version in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine last month. Reserving my judgment for a trailer or the actual series. But not going in with high expectations. |

We will never forget those that have fallen for our freedom! |
| A mecha harem. Now that's thinking with sales in mind...you'll get people who watch it for the mecha and people who watch it for the cute girls doing cute things. Genius. |
| Ok™ |
| i plan on checking it out, even though it looks kind of generic, that doesnt mean it wont be entertaining |
 |
| im a mecha fan so ill keep an eye on this |

| At first I was like, (╬ ಠ益ಠ) Σ(ﾟ∀´(┗┐ヽ(･∀･ )ﾉ <--- Then I was like In the end, I was ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／ﾔｯﾀｧｰ!! |
| This looks interesting, might watch it.. |
| Looks like this mecha suits my interests. It's like Vandread based on the description XD |
| what a retarded idea for a story |
| I don't think the idea is retarded in any way, just done before perhaps. But it will heavily depend on how skimpy the outfits are. Check out the design pics from the OP if you don't believe me. |
| We will never forget those that have fallen for our freedom! |
| Mecha harem? I'll take it. |
| F YIEAAAAH !!! finally some decent LN get adaptation lets hope it not as bad as Asura Cryin" |

Tasolth said: I don't think the idea is retarded in any way, just done before perhaps. But it will heavily depend on how skimpy the outfits are. Check out the design pics from the OP if you don't believe me. no trust me it's retarded. reeks of generic, and seriously young girls piloting mecha?? it's so silly, and of course there's only ONE boy who ends up surrounded by all these voluptuous girls that will no doubt fall for him because he's a normal 15 year old highschooler who somehow happens to be able to pilot a fucking robot better than everyone else. To me the whole thing seems like some devious plan to show young girls wearing unsuitable clothes from all sorts of camera angles. The plot comes after that. |
| Looks alright i guess. the design btw thats nice =) |

| is it one of those type of animes where only girls can operate the mecha but there's this one boy who happens to be the main character can also operate them too? |

Orulyon said: fanservice. im disappointed T.T this |
| Take away the male character, and I would consider watching this. As it is, I dislike harem and harem leads, so no. I might reconsider if he isn't an useless pervert. |
