Jesus, be more dense Ichika. Nice episode to develop Charlotte and Laura, but it looks like this season might be more plot driven from the background stuff in the first episode like his sister and the mysterious blue haired girl.

Darn, I forgot how dense the MC is, lol. Not even an AP rounds would pierce his heart.

Awful first episode of the second season. The animation was lackluster, a lot of random stories were put together with little regard for pacing... I could go on. At least the fanservice was of the usual IS standard. I hope they improve things for the next episode.

Not sure what all the whining about Ichika's denseness is about. He has eyes for only one woman.


*Gasp* Is it...Chifuyu onee-sama?


"Could it be that Orimura-sensei is Ichika's type?" He wasn't able to fool Charlotte.

i think charlotte will become hideyoshi ( baka and test ) or xgender, meaning she start cross dressing in episode 1, i hope it wont happen on the next episode or in the future.

Ichika is as dense as ever, but yes, my harem anime is back! Laura really is great now that I checked her out properly for the first time. Charle is as epic as ever, gotta love their friendship!

I remember watching the first season back in May 2012. And I also remember having taken a liking to it. Now I'm watching the second season's first episode and am on the verge of dropping it. Why you ask? May be Mr. Oblivious aka Ichika. Or just the generic harem aspect that I've seen dozens of times already. And I already know (not going by the novel, but rather my personal intuition) that the best girl- Charlotte if you've wondered- will never win.

Oh well, let's give it another 1-2 episodes.

Fuck this first episode. I didn't come back to Infinite Stratos to watch filler for the majority of the episode.

2/10.

That said, I will watch for the new characters and the action. That is pretty much the whole reason I am watching this series.

Charlotte best girl >…< she is very cute in this ep, I will wait for the longer version.

I hate ichika, and I prefer that char don't end up with him...

Therefore I ship char x laura ^…^

Charlotte best girl for being super moe and caring
laura is second and the others are so so

Is it just me, or does the animation seem a bit drab and dull? Main character is an idiot beyond idiots, they should just say screw it, and turn this into a yuri detective show with Laura and Charlotte. Make Chifuyu-nee as their boss

Well they certainly seemed to pack quite a bit into one episode. That festival was kind of disappointing, it took up only a few minutes. . .

My favorite last season was Houki, but not I'm not sure at all, since all their designs aren't bad. Just not Cecilia, that's for sure.

Ichika, Ichika, have you lost your brain somewhere? (Oh well, containing girls, I bet he never even had it.) Baka.

The fighting was real poor. And this new girl... "Chuck Norris, is that you?"

The only enjoyable parts were those with Laura and Charlotte.
I dunno about this. I'm disappointed. Now I don't really want to watch episode 2.

Same here! I actually liked Houki the most out of all of the girls...too early to decide for this series, but I definitely want Ichika to get with Houki, which is likely.

Well, I'm a little slow but apparently the festival really was done in 3x speed. Put bluntly, that sucks. I really wonder at the point of including it at all. In a nutshell, I look at season one as being fun but not good. It looks like season two is going down the same path. If it's going to be rushed this way, they need to do a better job of selecting material, or take 24 episodes to do it well.

Didnt like it. Felt overly fan service like. It was super excessive. Cat outfits and Laura seems to have lost her hard edge from last season, maid cafe followed by them wearing maid outfits.

I mean lord have mercy this seemed more fitting for an OVA dedicated to fanservice than an actual first episode of the season.

Meh.

4/5

Episode that does not change one iota the perception we have of IS! XD
Plot all focused on ecchi, to make the contour is the main story, instead of the other way around! LOL
Fanservice so fast that rivals Usain Bolt! ASD
Technically, the anime is very valuable due to 8bit, but shameful use those mecha so beautiful just for this nonsense! Might as well save their efforts, because already enough Sky Girls, as the anime series. Just to make a simile!
Narration almost boring! Too many deja vu!

The rating of 4/5 goes for the good work done in terms of graphics and technicians, otherwise I would have given it 3/5!

Can't believed that they just rushed through that festival + pool scene. Short but still provided some nice fanservice.

Truth be told i was bored. I've seen all this before in a gazillion other anime. The main guy annoyingly dense as ever and if am not mistaken did the last minutes just flash forward something that could have taken a whole episode just so they can finish with the summer thing?

What a nice way to start the 2nd season by "killing" Ichika...btw was that Chifuyu because she really looked like her xD
Awesome episode <3
I'm so happy to see all the girls again :D I missed so much Charlotte <3 I hope this season we will have even more Char x Ichika.
Gosh Laura is so adorable in this season,and as we can see she became a good friend of Char.Theya re soo kawaii :3 That part "let me take the rest of the food from your mouth" ahahahaha Charlotte is so cute <3
Btw nice action girls by defeating those robbers.
Laura & Charlotte neko <3 i'm in love xD so cute omg
So much action,who is that girl who attacked the base,i hope that isn't Chifuyu.
I thought that the pool part was a preview of the next episode but now,they just showed some parts :/ I wanted to see Ichika & Char taking a ride together where Char says Ichika hentai ahahaa,her voice so cute <3
New girl?Oh i don't think it was necessary to add a new girl because there are a lot of things that we don't know about all 5,but still it's a new season and usually they add someone new in new seasons,btw this new girl remembers me Rey from NGE & Sinon.

Ahhh, it has been a while already since I watched the first season. I already forgot many things from the season 1 and I don't remember their voice being like that at all.
Also, I don't actually remember what happened to Ichika's sister ahahaha.
Well, it's nice to see them again. Ichika, you lucky bastard!!!!
I want some yuri action with Laura and Charlotte :3 They are both so adorable with that neko pajamas, and that meow *^*
Don't be hating on Ichika; he just wants to bring his harem at the amusement park ahahaha.
New girl looks fun, but what is up with her preview ahahaha.
Let's see what's next :3

Looks like Ichika's insensitivity has only gotten worse since the end of the last season, how unfortunate for those poor girls.

I loved the Charl x Laura style of this episode haha they would make an awesome couple.

Five minutes and a short montage later Summer is over... such wasted opportunity, for some more fan-service episodes. That's what I thought this anime was going for, since the story is progressing about as slow as can be expected of a harem.

I watched long version with extended bunkasai. Not impressed with animation style, it definitely degraded compared to season 1, but episode in general is good. Dense Ichika and his harem are okay :P

Laura <3. -Sigh- Damn clueless harem protagonist. Times like these I miss Issei.

Screw Issei, the pervert only thinks with his dick. At least Ichika respects them as persons. He is clueless about love but at least he wanted to invite everyone to have fun and hang out. And in the end, they all had fun.

It's a nice start really, we will see how it goes from here. Those soldiers really should use common sense like, try to fire and not wait for enemy to use some sort of an attack?

When Charlotte said that she wants to come and eat crepe with Ichika and then clapped the tip of her shoes it was so sweet. That was a HNNNNGGGGGGG moment right there.

Nice awakening. Laura is pretty proud of showing her "bride" her swimsuit.

Don't worry Laura, if Ichika is not interested, you can still become a lesbian.

The battle in the cafe was cool, Laura the combat maid. That would make an interesting spin-off, now that I think about it. Poor Charlotte had to be a butler. Both of them as cats was cute.

Ichika got quite a sight or at least he would, if Lingyin didn't have such a child's body.

He sure dug his own grave, around 20 minutes I thought, that it is the dense MC alarm.

Cecilia was quite sneaky. And the instructor lady at the couple slide had fun too.

Finally, the english dub is hilariously bad, the accents of Laura and Charlotte!

Ichika aww you ruined Laura's plan with your denseness.

This episode was prob more kawaii than the Season 1 OVA. Some good Charl and Laura moments that were sooo kawaii. That waterpark fanservice tho. I feel like the Chifuyu look alike is either a clone of her or an actual relative. Looks like we found out this episode how the name Infinite Stratos came to be

Ugh I'm quickly reminded why I didn't like the first season so much, Ichika is one of the dumbest, dense MC I have ever seen. Why does a moron like this get a harem, he doesn't even realize he has one, nor does he even really like any of them. He has a sister complex.

Ugh.
