Nice episode! Now Houki finally have her own personal IS and looks like she is very strong. And her sister Tabane is so childish but I like her ^^
About the White Knight I think that was Chifuyu-nee who piloted that IS.
Want to see her in action so badly

I think so too from the way Tabane was going around but at first I got trolled into thinking it was Tabane testing it out herself. Perhaps that's why Tabane loves Chifuyu so much because if it was not for her Tabane may have been dead due to the missiles, who knows if they are not targeted all at Tabane herself.

Epic battle coming...Houki's sister Tabane may be very childish but she's the one that invented the IS and from there the world followed, pretty amazing. Really want to see what this rogue unmanned IS is capable of doing.

It's funny how people are still complaining of this anime and are still watching xDD


I think most of the people who are complaining are the ones trying the hardest to dutifully finish watching this show. Their venting on the forums is a form of catharsis to make the episodes easier to digest.

Of course, they could be trolls, but I try to see the good in humanity, (because I have to squint really damn hard.)

Back on topic:
What?!? An IS unit that went berserk?!? TAI-HEN!! Is this similar to the incident where that mysterious unmanned black IS unit attacked the academy during an exhibition match?? Huh? You don't know? Okay...

What about that time when that one-eyed chick's IS unit went all bat-crazy before being defeated by a dude with a sword??? No? Not like that?

So you mean....that all three of those incidents are unrelated....that this is another sporadic story device spawning out of no where? Yes???

This Anime is contradicting itself last week Houki made a phone call with her sister who was missing despite the fact that every country in the world was looking for her.
And know they state that a month after Tabane's announcement of the IS program a IS appeared and saved Japan suggesting there more organizations who posses the technology to make IS.
While at the beginning of this Anime it was stated that only Tabane knew that way to make a IS core and that there was only a certain number of cores.
then there is also the mysterious organization that attacked them during the tournaments.

Chifuyu seems to like teasing her students even going as far as to look at Cecilia's underwear.
Her speech was interesting and it's nice to see that unlike her little brother she does know the girls feelings for her little brother.
Tho from her response she does want them to go all out for her little brother before she can accept one of them.

Tabane is pretty interesting and her personality is very funny and a bit careless from the looks of.
Her friendship with Chifuyu also seems to be a funny one, tho Chifuyu does seem a bit crude to her.

The first half = harem entertainment achieved

Yeah Tabane is adorable when she talks less but if it's too much, it's seriously annoying :/

I enjoyed her scenes though. =p

I hope we got to see a good action next ep.

Ok, so it seem that I'm sooo wrong about my review, it turns out that some 3rd parties who were developing there own IS, however they didn't seem to get it right co'z their works turn out to be a disaster, and now we know as what Houki's IS is capable of. Well, I guess there is no need to know how things will turn out.

I wanted to see more of Laura just to see if she really did do a full 180 and Rin again had barely any screentime. the look on Chifuyu and Houki's faces was priceless when Tabane appeared

Byakushiki = TNT
AkaTsubaki = Nuke
There is just no competition between those 2 IS and if Houki had the skills of Charlotte or Laura she would destroy all.

Tabane is way too happy-go-lucky to be a genius and the IS inventor.
Looks like we finally get some plot outside of the school though. Houki finally get's her own IS, which looks pretty sweet and is one of the newest 4th generation models.

Chifuyu making fun of the girls was pretty funny. I think she was the so called "White Knight" they were talking about as well.

Next episode is going to be the fight we've seen in episode one? Hopefully Ichika won't screw it up.

Hey IS fans out there, just a heads up but this season covers up to the end of the 3rd light novel, the titles of the episodes almost exactly match those of the chapters in the novels. The 7th novel is due out April 8th, and seeing how (disgustingly) popular this series is inside and outside of Japan, a second season definitely isn't out of the question.
Specifically about this episode, Ichika reaches even higher levels of density; shattering what was thought scientifically possible. Not that this is a bad thing.

It's not contradicting itself. Tabane is missing to the outside world, but not to her family. Only Houki and Chifuyu can directly contact her. As for the rogue IS, it's been hugely implied in the novels that Tabane was the one who made them, to test her newly made IS. It is also guessed that Tabane sabotaged the Silverior Gospel so that Houki can debut in the Akatsubaki.

I notice that you have in fact, according to your anime list, seen a whopping 1 harem. I see that in comparing IS to IS, and both of those to IS, you have concluded that IS is actually the worst out of all of these. Well done good sir.

It's official IS = SW (Strike Witches)

10 episodes of randomness (including many girls from many different countries)
2 episodes of "PLOT".........exactly what the two seasons of Strike Witches did.

The only difference is that in Strike Witches we don't have a retarded male protagonist.


Either way, I don't hate this show, I love the girls and there have been a few episodes that were "good".

Other than that.....pretty big disappointment, there's a lot of WASTED material.

I seriously do not why people hate Ichika that much. He just does not have much libido, you can't say that he is retarded. Compared to many other harem heroes: Yuki Rito from To Love Ru, Muneakira from Samurai Girls,Natsuru from Kampfer--Ichika is a real man.Quite contrary to what some trolls have stated, he is not some pussy. He is fairly willing to fight. You may say that IS is random, but that's because we are merely visiting the first three novels. If I recall correctly Toaru no Index was fairly random too in it's first season, with not much connection.Starting from light novel five, the series gets darker and edgier, with more fighting as well as fan service.

Strike Witches was a much more fun show, though, in large part because the characters were a lot more likeable. Sanya, Yoshika, and Mio Sakamoto were all much more entertaining characters than, well, anyone in IS.

Ah well I love the various emotions Chifuyu exhibited during this episode. She was irritated with Tabane and she looked cute drinking that soft drink/beer. I wish she would be less uptight more often. :)
