1 Boy. A gazillion girls. nuff said.... when I read the summary for Infinite Stratos i was Psyched. Note the capital P. It had the making of a great anime and a funny one to boot. I started watching and here my ratings for the anime Infinite Stratos:
Story : 7
I gave the anime an 7 due to the fact that I I honestly liked the whole comedy aspect of Orimura Ichika's life. Each girl was introduced in a unique way, and each had their own appeal to boot. I felt guilty giving the anime's story a 7 due to the fact that I read the light novels and in all honesty they were some of the best I've read. If you don't mind spoiling the next season go ahead and read them as they are great.
Art : 9
All of the characters were well drawn and implemented. The IS's were awesome, the fight scenes were great and had a certain *cough* appeal to them when the girls were in them!
Sound : 8
The opening and ending of the anime were great. I still listen to them occasionally. The OST's were memorable and enjoyable. The only thing that didn't make the cut were the fight noises. It was Really annoying hearing the creak of the IS randomly when it moved. It sounded to surreal in my opinion.
Character: 10
As the only boy in the world able to use the IS robot's, Ichika has a great personality. He's not a shy main character who has to have his harem take care of him, nor is he to powerful to be thankful for their help. He's an all around great main character for the anime. Sadly I couldn't find myself relating to him. I mean come on, why can't my cute child hood friends have crushes on me huh?
All of the girls have their own personality which adds a twist to the anime's comedy aspect. Houki and Cecilia are tsundere while Charlotte is a normal vanilla. Laura seems kind of yandere and lingyin is VERY protective of him. They make for a great crew and can't wait for them to add the two new girls next fall.
Enjoyment and Overall: 8
I found myself flinching at the more humiliating parts like when Ichika would be caught doing something at the wrong moment by one of the girls. All in all it was a good anime to watch and it deserves a second season.
