Let's see:

Generic Male Protagonist has unexplained (HAX) powerup...

Tsundere Childhood female character is growing more attached to male protagonist...

Ojou female character JOINS the harem...

Loosely explained plot manages to get into the episode for about 5 mins...


Yup it's all going according to plan.

Still somewhat entertaining though.....3.5/5

I hope this series starts showing signs of originality some time soon, as it is its hard to care about the cookie cutter characters and their cliche lives.

Bleh, the IS fights are bad as expected.
Oh well, there was a shower scene so I am satisfied.

I wasn't expecting an amazing story so this series is turning pretty good. Sure everything might be cliched but atleast they did it right. Animation is amazing, character models are good, voice actors are good and an interesting setting. Overall its a relaxing show. Don't see why people are complaining about it. I mean Bleach, Naruto, One Piece and Naruto are all cliched but people still watch it.

The action scenes were well done, Cecelia's detachable armaments remind me of the ones on Strike Freedom, the blue colour just reinforces the resemblance.

That's some quite lovely development I must say his personal IS is quite interesting as well and even if he lost the battle was still quite epic!

I am having mixed feelings about this anime so far. The battle scene in this episode was awesome, and the animation is excellent. But everything else isn't so great. The characters are kind of bad, especially the main character. He seems to have little personality apart from him caring about his sister. Most of the other characters are either full of themselves, or seem to hate or act odd around the main character. I also wish they could explain things a bit more such as why they are training with giant robots, and the things relating to the school. I thought the first half of the episode was really bad, but the battle scene in the second half made up for it and I am enjoying this so far.

Enjoyed a lot this episode,this anime is very similar to High School DxD in all apsects.
So Cecilia "won" but she doesn't feel that she won xD Ichika was OP,good job :D
Houki will now help him.... tsundere xD
New girl in next episode,another friend.

Cecilia won, but it wasn't a really win for her since Ichika's IS's shield was at 0. Ichika would've won had he had some shield. Cecilia's face when Ichika came for the final blow was priceless. She was already bracing for a full impact.

Houki gets to trian Ichika, aww.

Slightly better than the first episode because of the fight scene, but still not enough to give it a higher average rating. The school is awesomely classy though.

What is this cliched bullshit? Ichika, who hasn't even learned all the basics beats the elite with his IS that he just used for the first time. And not only that but beat someone in something that he/she is great at and he/she will fall for you? Idiotic logic at it's finest. Oh wait, I forgot, it's a harem show.

Terrible dialogue and terrible characters so far. Shouldn't MC be talking with his sister who disappeared on him and didn't know where she was? It's like ''Oh she was here all along! Cool.'' and act like they were together all the time.

Nothing unexpected to see her, just the usual harem story. Also he has an attack that makes him lose the fight instantly, very useful xD

I'm actually enjoying the show despite its obvious flaws and reliance on cliche, for some reason. I haven't watched too many shows with this kind of protagonist myself, so I ironically find him a breath of fresh air.

I also like how the English girl is now in the credits. Looks like a girl will be added each time he steals their heart(s). I wonder how long that running line will be at the end of the series...

Quite a good episode, with the action fight scene. There is some character development. I like the fact that all IS are inherently defective. BTW, I feel like the reason Ichika can't read big books is quite funny, and also goes in to his Freudian complex due to his sis.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

The fight scenes are pretty good, i'm not disappointed, and looks like our MC is kinda overpowered xD even if he lost against the girl he was on the verge of winning, and obviously the childhood friend is all tsundere for him xD

I workout & train daily as part of my routine, however, I do wish I have a pretty girl like Houki to personally train me for 3 hrs. Right now I only have enough energy and motivation to train for 45 mins - 1 hr.

Damn, he lost. At least he won himself waifu #2. That was a nice fight.

It's me where the main character has his ass between 4000 chairs I don't understand First episode, we're told he's very strong. He's beaten his instructor. Then, in episode 2, we're made to understand that he sucks and takes nothing. And when he fights, well, he's very strong. We'll just have to decide!
