the awesome action scenes in this series


I frankly think practice battles with characters I couldn't care less about, spouting stupid crap in the middle of fighting to be pretty bad. But, that's my opinion.

Didn't really expect much from the show, but it failed to deliver even that in the second part of its run. I'm giving a generous 6/10 it did have few good moments in the early episodes. I'm glad it is over though.

Now I wonder what did they do with the girl in your avatar... what was her name again?
She just... disappeared after the beach episode.

Even though the anime was utterly terrible, I found it at least entertaining, so I'm giving it a 6.

There're so many people who dislike this anime because of the logical. (You know what am talking about)
But I still love this show. Don't care what the people are thinking.
The last scene...... (sigh) Houki wins!

still a fan of char though. char forever!

anyway, what was up with that random white-haired girl during ichika's dream?


i was thinking about that girl too. The stories is a bit blurry. i dont really understand. what about his neechan "The white IS" byakushiki. When i was watching1-9 ep...i was vote this stories by 9. then dropped it to 8. The ending is terrible... Even ichika choose for houki,thats ok..but "kissing scene will spoil the anime" . Ichika should be more cool LOL.
I hope it was a good harem. Anyway..same as other harem.

Anyway,worth watching.

So Houki's sister hacked Gospel only because she wanted Houki to have debut in her own IS... and yet Chifuyu was so cool about it even Ichika was nearly killed... This show should have stayed plotless, like the first nine episodes. Somehow girl I liked the most was Ichika's friend sister. I hope she'll have more screen time in second season.

To be honest, I didn't expect anything from this show and it was pretty entertaining. I'm giving it a 7/10.

Hypothetical questions indeed.

Also, Reiyaku Byakushiki seems like a rather unique machine, there seems to be rather many possibilities with a mecha that can revive its pilot.

Also, I guess the relations between each pair in the harem will remain somewhat in a stalemate, seeing as they're unable to make any significant progress towards a particular pair. An OVA could probably be interesting, if they took this up.

The first Blu-ray volume of IS sold 22,000 copies rounded to the top Oricon's overall sales chart for the March. It has become the sixth television anime with the first volume reaching #1 overall, after Macross Frontier, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, K-ON!, Bakemonogatari, and Angel Beats!

Final battle....couldn't really get into it. Had some interesting aspects to it.

Houki is farthest ahead in this race. *sigh* If Charlotte let Ishika touch her chest in the changing room...things might have been different!

Weren't the IS supposed to be sentient? Guess it was mentioned for the quick power ups at the end.....or perhaps the manga goes into more detail. Oh well, won't be reading it.

It's ordinary. It's like several ideas from manga/anime the author found interested into one, but fail. I guess we can't come up w/ anymore "original". I was hoping for the Charlotte ending. I don't know why. I know what's going to happen, but I still hope...

Wow, they had a chance for a good ending and they ruined with the "jk nothing actually happened and its still a harem trying-to-please-all-crowds-here" ending.... They should've just put up a picture of a giant trollface instead.

Just a quick note, if they made a real ending (as in he actually chose someone) how would they make a Season 2 while still following the LN? Possibility is there.

Also ITT, I just looove how a lot of people are stating their opinions as facts. "Worst anime EVER!" "Holy shit this season is seriously full of shit!" You hated the show. Watched all the way till the final episode, then stated it was shit. Hahaha it's FREAKING RIDICULOUS!

Is it so hard to DROP an anime!? Heck I hated Qwaser so I dropped it. Did I go to the forums to whine like a bitch about every episode I watched? Hell no. In the end, you guys are the joke.

Cliched? Yes. TTM even. However, did I enjoy it? Yes. I would rate IS a 7/10

Yeah, I thought that the whoel thing seemed just a little too dangerous to be effectively prank.

Was gonna' give this a 5 'cause it was kind of straight down the line - not espeically good or bad.......and then houki put Ichika's hand on her breasts and said "Are you aware that I'm of the opoisite sex".......that's just stupid -_-

The girl in Ichika's dream was probably his Stratos. His sister later mentioned about Stratos connected to the heart of the user and healing injuries and stuff. I know it sounds kind of stupid, but the whole show was stupid.

Most of the characters were simply annoying. I have seen axe-crazy girls, but that was too much. Was it something they ate? Ichika was a total failure as a male character.

The mecha battles weren't very good. The ending felt rushed and left everything totally unfinished. Basically in 12 episodes nothing happened :) Gets 6/10 because I liked the animation.

This was an okay series. The ecchi was pretty hilarious at times and the fights were quite entertaining. It still seems like a small-version of Gundam though. Ah well, wouldn't mind a 2nd season.

So that whole mission was pointless. In the end we knew it would be Houki.
This anime was okay pretty basic not bad not great just fine. I give it a 7/10 overall it was good and what you'd expect.

I hate to crap on a series, but this show was generic & boring. The ecchi/harem elements got old fast (it's really only rewarding when you're not being smothered in it) and the story went pretty much nowhere.

The show just emanated recycled cliches the entire time. The only semi redeeming part was the final episode where it finally had some story development, but that was ruined by another lame ecchi/harem cliche. If a show's going to cater to horny prepubescents, it should go all the way instead of pretending to be something it's not.

5/10. Would've been lower if the final episode hadn't redeemed the show at least a LITTLE bit.

I interpreted Houki's sister's actions as having launched the missile attacks on japan to debut HER own IS (or was it Chifyu that's supposedly the white knight) and give rise to women as the powerful gender (through ISs).

Does that mean that Houki's sister designed the ISs to only work with women? Who knows. I'm not sure there is any sort of deeper meaning to such a shallow & lame show.

Edit: I'm just going to add that part of my reasoning for hating this show is the asinine premise that whoever makes/pays for these IS's would just allow children to recklessly fight in them.

6.5/10, because i like generic school-mecha/fighting anime, like mai-hime or something.

however it was really a let down.

plus, i dunno about anyone else, but i was rooting, and thought that he would end up with charlotte.

Well, this anime doesn't impress me further than it's decent design on it's mecha. I think that this anime spent a lot of episodes introducing new characters and what the new character's IS capable on doing.

For me, throughout 12 episodes, the one and only real fight is against Gospel and its very much expected what will happen whenever the protagonist fall. Dream about something, gain strength, wake up and gain new ability or something like that. I think I saw this in some anime too and it reminds me of Persona 4 game as well.

It's not too good but it's not that bad as well. Hope I didn't cause flames, it's just my personal opinion. :P

Episodes with Charlotte screen-time --> 9
Episodes without Charlotte screen-time --> 2
Episodes of practice battles and Ichika spewing verbal diarrhea --> -3

Weighted average about 5. Generous? I think so.

uuugghhh... this ending leave a pretty bad taste in my mouth... what makes it worse is what supposed to be the climax of the show is rather meh... which didn't help as well...

In ZnT: Futatsuki no Kishi, even though the ending is crap, at least the climax is so damn strong... Which I forgave the ending...

before the ending, I was thinking 6/10... but now... I'll have to reconsider

Everything has gone so well until...the massive explosion [seen at the first ep] just happens to be a small dud and destroying gospel also happens to be lame.
Everything after the battle turned out lame and the ending is pushes the crapness even further.

Good anime overall imo.

Underwhelming final battle. Boatload of tropes. Houki ending. No Natasha.

8-bit I am disappoint.

Before this episode I would have rated the show a 6/10 because of how much fun I had watching it, but 8-bit really dropped the ball in episodes 11 & 12 in the direction department, so it's a solid 5/10.


Agreed. it was never a good show but i was enjoying enough for a 6, not after the ending though...

an interesting concept, amazing art work, glorious houki/charl

but even with all that the battle scenes were dull and the story was pretty lackluster

Well, some things you watched like EVA are semi-harems.

Here are some semi-harems I think you might like based on your list:
Golden Boy (dub)
Denpa teki na Kanojo
Bakemonogatari

Of course, I recommend getting the highest quality you can get, especially bake. The BR has 3 more episodes and the art is finished. The TV version has lots of QUALITY and white backgrounds.

i actually have had those on my backlog(which u already picked up on). I just added denpa teki na kanojo. ill be sure to check those out pretty soon

i just love houki's seiyu youka hikasa which was one of the reasons i picked up IS. She's also the reason i watched Occult Academy.
