The story behind IS is pretty easy to follow basically women begin to rule the planet because they can dominate using mech suits know as IS, young women are taught the basics of piloting these war machines in the only school that allows it to be taught, IS Academy, but a big surprise comes when a male student transfers into the school being the only male known who can operate an IS, with this begins long, funny and romantic adventures of a male surrounded by females who r very capable with fighting inside these IS
The art was great, i loved the animation style of all the characters and the well drawn backgrounds as well as the small details put into every individual shot was great, what convinced me the most was the excellent visuals of the IS, unlike mech suits you would see in shows like Gundam Seed, these were much more better drawn and detailed, and i'm a girl for goodness sake to find myself praising an anime about anything mech related i was surprised :)
The sound was also great, as everyone quite well knows an anime isn't an anime without the sounds and the sounds people did their job great, i'd like to commend the great voice acting skills and music they put into this show because it was awesome :D
The characters of this show were ROFL awesome, Ichika is the main male protagonist who seems to be a little thick-headed when it comes to women but still abides by because where he lacks in charm he makes up in bravery and courage and his will to win is amazing, then Houki one of the main female heroines who knew Ichika since he was little, she is very hostile towards any one who gets close to her childhood friend yet at the same time is willing to slice and dice him if he does anything perverted, then along the way we meet more women who fall in love with Ichika such as Cecilia the British representative who falls in love after his amazing skills in battle were shown off to her, Lingyin (Rin) who is another childhood friend of his and secretly loves him as well, Charlotte who orginal intentions were led astray when she falls in love with Ichika when he protects her, and Laura who has a very powerful IS but as well falls in love and make Ichika her wife (LOLZ)
Overall i enjoyed watching this anime and i would recommend that you watch it if you are in need of watching an anime or you just need a good laugh or two while also watching action :)
