IS: Infinite Stratos

[Buffalobiian]

Yet we all keep watching it. Weird.

Because the girls, at least 2.5 of them, are fun and entertaining.

I just can't see why that is supposed to be such a great weapon. Ichika consistently loses by running out of energy, because that sword simply leeches it out. Why in all that is holy would you ever pick a primary weapon like that? It is an utter piece of shit, and they proved it in this episode. Guess what? Charlotte's got one too, on her outdated model. It does 350 shield damage easily on each hit...and it doesn't drain jack squat of her own energy. (Laura went from ~489 to 126!)

That knee-mounted Jack Hammer was awesome - It's a wonder how all these 3rd Gen models suck more than the 2nd Gen ones. Charlotte can snipe, keep you at bay, play a battle of attrition. rush - and if you manage to get inside her range, she'll smash the shit through you Muya Thai style.

Didn't Ichika's energy go all the way to zero? Why he tell was he still fighting?

Part of what makes IS "bad" is that they don't take their mecha side seriously enough. Stuff and random villians/evil devices are thrown in, forgotten, then reminded of whenever they feel it's convenient to keep IS from being a 100% harem, slice of life show.

Yay for shameless beach episode next time. As much as I've become a Charlotte fan, Cecilia needs some character development.

Charlotte's surpassed Cecilia in all regards now. She's fun, helpful, understanding and isn't a tax on your mind like most of the others are. Her comments about Ichika turning up in a female uniform, and on his approach to Houki's "date", combined with the battle all support this.

I still like Cecilia though, so I agree with Ryll I guess. I totally forgot she wore earrings (if she ever wore them before).

My only "fear" in regards to the future direction of this show is that Charlotte is now "done" and put into the back seat along with everyone else. At the very very VERY least, keep her in the same room as Ichika.

Final note: who else umm... digs the miniskirt with nothing underneath? XD
