Being the only male in a sewing class or female history class or girls' locker room all have the similar feeling in which all the females in that said room are noticing you, which they normally won't do in the "normal" world. IS: Infinite Stratos brings this experience to you by creating a world where mechas(giant humanoid robots that are seemingly very inefficient in carrying out their duties yet look 9999% cooler) can only be driven by females, cept for a reason this one guy.

This one guy attends a futuristic school that teaches mecha stuff(history, combat and so on) and is filled with other pilots (all female and either Asian or White, all other minorities don't exist in the future), and explores the relationships he makes throughout his time in school while also fighting other pilots with mechas. This is literally the entire plot of the anime. The main character gets thrown slices or arcs of each female character(cause its a harem if you didn't notice yet) and is forced to deal with their hots for his tots.

So the story doesn't hold up much but what about everything else?
Art and Sound is fine, I mean what isn't these days, characters are kind of dull, main male character is obtuse, other characters are pretty stereotypical, and have the hick for his masculinity(dirty mind you got there).

The last thing I want to get at before you leave is that there is a sense of racism in Infinite Stratos which is unsettling and distasteful. Like I pointed earlier, no other minorities but White and Asian exist in the future, as in even the background characters are all White or Asian and other minorities have no place in a UNIVERSAL school. Chinese people are short, English people have awful food and are annoying, Germans are Nazis and so on and so forth.

Is IS worth watching? It ISn't
