The second season of the most forgettable work of my life.
If I had to summarize IS: Infinite Stratos 2 in a single word, it would probably be: forgettable.
The first season hadn't impressed me much either, but at least there was still the curiosity to explore that universe of mechas piloted by girls and understand the dynamics of the enormous harem that revolves around the protagonist. When I got to the second season, however, the feeling was of watching something that simply exists, without managing to leave a real mark on my memory.
Curiously, I consider this season a little better than the previous one, but not because the story evolves significantly or because the characters receive deeper development. In fact, the main reason for this improvement is precisely the element that the…

A very sad conclusion to an already boring story. The season 2 of Infinite Stratos is surprisingly worse than the first season which is mediocre enough. What made the first season watchable was the funny banter, introduction to the harem and mystery to the whole robots. Even the relationship between Houki and Ichika was pretty good. Season 2 seems devoid of everything I already mentioned and somehow made the plot less interesting.
The biggest mistake this season made is making it more fanservice but not even that good fanservice. It seems forced and less funny. I'll say the new girls to the harem, the Sarashiki sisters, are good. They still are not memorable because of how much they put fanservice for the main 5 girls. The villains of the series are also underutilized. They barely get any…

THIS IS A SPOILER-FREE REVIEW
I recently watched the first season of 2011´s premier mecha anime “Infinite Stratos” a few months ago, and I got exactly what I wanted out of the show. Sure, the plot is non-existent, the characters are super one-dimensional and the whole setting is just a type of teenage-boy fantasy but sometimes, after watching a lot of heavy action or drama, i need something like this, and i was super excited to dive back into this light-hearted world.
Story – 6/10
My god, going back to this story after watching heavy-hitters like “The Tatami Galaxy” and “Macross” really gives your brain whiplash. Everything that i wrote about the first season also applies to the second one. But the one big difference is that this time, the show actually sets up some storylines. Yes, you…

This season is rather disappointing. To be specific, it disappoints in certain aspects but not everything.
This story continues from season one but feels extremely dumbed down. The entire season feels like filler for season one, which isn't entirely a bad thing but also is. This season focuses on the harem aspect of this anime, with the occasional fight thrown in the mix from time to time. I'm a guy who enjoys the harem and ecchi genres, but there is always a time and place for everything, and this anime doesn't understand that. This anime was supposed to be serious than sexy, but this season just reverses that. Things pick up near the end however but end up feeling like a setup for a third season.
The characters remain the same as in the first season, but there is no development for the…

I have never wanted a main character to be killed more than this idiot. I was really hoping that they would put an end to him. I have seen people with mental disorders that are more aware of things than this character. No one can be that stupid in regards to the opposite sex and also be completely useless in the development of the story than Ichika. So they have these suits of battel armor, that they treat as toys, there is no development on why we have them or what they are used for outside of playing around at school. So he is the only male that can work one, but he is pathetic at it and sucks in battle. Why does this genre always have to have stupid males that accomplish nothing and don't even know that they are the only piece of meat in the whole story line.

Story: For the second season of IS, this season didn't even try to be decent. It didn't even put effort into progressing the plot that it was setting up for in the previous season. Each episode is 17 minutes of fan service and 5 minutes of substance. This season has decided to push any chance to have a story or character development out of the window just for cheap and dull fan service we already experienced in season one. I can't even remember the story because of how little the show spends on it for all 12 episodes. This season spends 20 minutes focused on the plot. Anyone who enjoys this season, I'm positive are new to anime and are here for the harem and titties. There cannot be any other reason to say you enjoy this show.
Art: Here's the most positive thing I can say about the show a…

infinite stratos which is second season of anime wasn't that good but still there one good character which is new character being introduced in second season who she is mainly best girls out of others in this throughout of this series that will help main handsome protagonist.

(Review may contain minor spoilers for IS Season 2)
Infinite Stratos, what a fine anime it is truly, you can find anything from ecchi moments and the male protagonist being a pervert with the classic harem aspects. The anime is a deluxe bundle for fan-service anime, truly a hidden treasure but of course it is also very poorly produced with many plot-holes and moments throughout the season leaving you dumbfounded and confused.
Surprisingly, I enjoyed watching IS series because of the fan service content and not exactly for the plot or the quality of the anime itself. I think we all watch anime so we can be obviously entertain and enjoy it and that's what exactly this anime has done for me in return.
Story (6): I couldn't seem to enjoy enough as much as I trying to, multiple times the an…

***Spoilers Ahead***
Alright, everyone, this isn't your typical harem/school/robot/fighting/ecchi/romance anime. Why? Because Bahamut exists. To be frank, this show isn't for those who can't do absurd, unrealistic moments that seriously question how many drugs it took the writers of the show to approve. What I'm getting at is this anime shouldn't be set to high expectations, because it doesn't intend to aim for them. This show is something that you should only watch if you're familiar with ecchi/harem. If you are, then you'll be pleased to know that this is a step ahead of some of the trash you may encounter when trying to watch a good show. Think of it like Highschool of the Dead compared to Highschool DxD. Similar to DxD, Infinite Stratos goes in hard and comes away with a few questiona…

tl;dr: A sequel season to IS that has less in terms of lighthearted moment but a more substantial story.
This season was quite a bit different from the first season I thought, and to sum it up I would say that it was messier and less cohesive, but more interesting. The reason for that is it felt like in addition to the standard lighthearted antics that made up the first season, there was a second story with substance going on in the background that would sometimes show up. The lighthearted aspect I think was a bit weaker than the previous season, in that there was a lot less of it, especially focused on the already introduced heroines. What was there was still good however. Ichika being super dense was originally somewhat annoying but it was actually kind of growing on me, and him being a…

Hi I wanna start off this review by saying a lot of people take this anime
too seriously, If your looking for a serious anime with good characters,
art, and sound, then this anime is not for you.
But if your looking for an anime with hot girls and a dumb protagonist
that you can shout at for every dumb mistake after dumb mistake he
makes then welcome to the club.
I am not writing an essay so I will make this quick.
Characters - 2/10, super bad there is little to no back story besides
a few flashbacks and explanations. Sound -5/10, about average nothing that stands out from any other anime.
Art -5/10, also average though the scenes with the girls are good
Story -3/10, It is a horrible mess as he just has encounter after
encounter with the girls usually ending in him being beaten up.

Warning possible Spoilers
What season 2 certainly tries to do that the first season didn't really do was a story and even though it wasn't amazing it definitely gave us something interesting about Ichika's family history.
The story continues with Ichika Orimura and the IS girls as they carry on fighting over Ichika however with the introduction of new female characters and the appearance of Phantom Task the situation is about to change.
Now I will give the second season credit for trying to create a story and honestly it wasn't too bad because we get to learn a little more about Ichika's past and what one of the members of Phantom Task has to do with him which does cause some revelations to happen.
We also get to see the girls relationship develop more despite their obsession with Ichika…

Ok, before anyone reads this review I just want to say this:
I don't think any better of this show than anyone else who wrote a review about this anime, but I simply have a different way of rating it. The existence of the show and the things being shown actually being comprehensible make it worth a rating of 5, together with the fact that I don't really feel sorry for watching this.
On to the real review. If you enjoy criticizing people, or anime, or both (like I do), I highly recommend this anime to you. Thinking of everything the protagonists could have done in a less stupid way may actually make you feel better about yourself. Because they suck. For example, what do you do when a group of mad girls finds you while you're talking to another girl? Of course, you pick her up and run! Whil…

"Second season of Infinite Stratos."
- Synopsis as of February 17, 2016
This season is so bad that even the synopsis struggles to come up with anything to say about this garbage. So allow me (and all of the other negative reviews) to give it a helping hand.
Infinite Stratos 2: Electric Boogaloo is a perfect example of not only how not to write a sequel, but also how not to create an anime with any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I'll be honest with you. I actually... kinda enjoyed the first season, if only just for Charlotte. Besides that, it was typical harem formula, ie. not much actual story.
This sequel follows suite with the harem formula as well, having little to no plot.
So, why do I let the first season slide away with a 6 while this gets the only 1 rating I've ever given to…

If this is what the anime industry honestly has in store for us, I might as well go live under a rock from now on.
Sequels, in all honesty, should build on their predecessor and deliver a new splash of flavor to the series - whether it be a more invigorating plot, new/interesting characters, or a more in-depth back story that does not fail to amaze.
IS: 2 fails to do any of this - it, in fact, is the epitome of everything that can go wrong.
Enter Ichika Oriumra, the same male lead from the first season of IS. You would imagine by this point that he would undergo some kind of character development - but, in reality, he is as dense as he was in season 1. His dense nature is probably why this anime was just so unbearable - everything about him was very predictable. Someone making a move o…

Infinite Stratos is like crack you know that it is bad and horrible but you just cant help but like it watching it now the story is set in a world where most military assets like tanks and planes are replaced with large body suits that can adsorb damage fly and have heavy wepons yes i am talking about mechs these mechs are called infinite statos or is for short now the only problem with said mechs said mechs is that only females can use them enter the main character the only male that could use one of the suits i could not help but think that the main character "Ichika orimura " is so dense that atomic bombs would cause less damage than a nuke if they were both dropped on a city. I mean I don't know about others but i would not be able to keep my virginity if i had 2 female room mates and…

Ohhhhhhh, Infinite Stratos! How I loladkv----loveevasfdsa-love-hate this! Okay, I'm just kidding I don't actually hate this show, but I am joking when I say I love it.
Season 1 of this show, was well pretty good. (I'm hesitant on actually writing a review on that season) Not good enough to make me go, "OH MY GOOOOOOODNESSS!!!" But more to the point of, hmm, okay let's just watch season 2 of this show, for poops and gigs.
Before I continue on, if you want someone more experienced, and someone more in depth on this series, go right ahead and skip this read. I do also expect you to have SOME background knowledge so that I can actually, "spoil" some of the more obvious stuff. For those of you who actually read this, thank you.
I have watched 12/12 episodes.
Story 3/10 (Let's dive right in…

This is a review for both 1st and 2nd season. They are basically the same anime with different names.
First off all, Infinite Stratos is NOT A ROMANCE anime. It is not even trying to be one. It doesn't involve anything I would call romantic. It is an exaggerated example of harem genre. Yes there are also anime with both romance and harem in it, however IS:Infinite Stratos is NOT one of them. This is pure harem. So if you keep that in mind and set your expectations that way, it is actually pretty enjoyable and I will tell you why.
1- Story
There is no plot that is worth mentioning in this anime and I couldn't care less about it. The very first scene of the anime already shows that. A guy in an all-girls school. WTF are you expecting??? There is this guy and the girls around him and they ar…

I initially didn't plan on writing a review, but I wanted to more or less try to tell about how... Mixed the feelings when watching this show are.
First, it was heavily criticized by the viewers it seems, and like them I totally agree with the negative point. This show was awful in its structure and totally cliché with fanservice all the way. No originality.
There was a plot. We pretty much forgot about it until a few reminders sometimes, the pace is horrible. To make things worse, they rushed it totally at the end of the show, with nothing answered at all even though something was starting to get interesting(I liked the little development at the end of episode 10, that was a pure detail but the character was one I liked and it was interesting to see more of what she can do).
And there's…

You know what a mediocre Harem story needs? A sequel that's not mediocre at all, but bad! Like, really bad
That's the case with Infinite Stratos 2. Somehow, that last season was enough to warrant a sequel despite its awfulness.
The good thing is, it builds itself on top of its predecessor. The bad thing is, it builds itself on top of its predecessor.
I'm gonna review this based on the assumption that you people who're reading this have seen the first season. If you live through that, than you just might live through this.
Story - 3/10
With the same setting as the previous season, the story didn't really change much.
This time around, they tried to incorporate more Action. They even have an evil group now! But alas, it was all for naught. Because the evil group didn't really do other…
