Infinite Stratos Series
Tagged under Kenji Akahoshi, 8-Bit, Games, Series.
In the near future, a Japanese scientist engineers a power-driven exoskeleton called "Infinite Stratos" more commonly
known as the (IS). Possessing technology and combat capabilities far more advanced than any other weapon system, the IS
threatens to destabilize the world. Faced with such an overwhelming weapon, the nations of the world enact the "Alaska
Treaty", which simply says that IS will never be used for military combat and that existing IS technology must be
equally spread to all nations, to prevent any one nation from dominating the others. The introduction of the IS does
however have a key effect on society. As IS can only be operated by women, the power balance between men and women is
broken, with women coming to dominate society over men. Ten years after the first IS were introduced; the world has
entered a new age of peace. That peace is destroyed, however, by an unexpected discovery. A 15 year old Japanese boy,
named Ichika Orimura, is found to be able to operate an IS. Realizing
his potential, Ichika is forced by the Japanese government to attend the prestigious Infinite Stratos Academy, an
international academy where IS pilots from all over the world are trained. And so his busy school life surrounded by
girls begins.

CyanideBlizzard's Infinite Stratos Tv Review
Rated:
Infinite Stratos (IS) is fairly stereotypical in many aspects. It also doesn't dive that deep into a plot during
its twelve episode run. However, what it does do it does rather well. From the animation, to the well casted VAs, to
the premises, IS is definitely above average in every aspect. While certainly not an legendary anime, it's certainly
enough for me to consider it a guilty pleasure and recommend it for those that don't mind harem series. Bear in mind
that IS flirts more with being mediocre than above average, but it is above average for a harem series.
This is a series that I plan on picking up as soon as it's released in the US. It's definitely one of my top ten
guilty pleasures, even if it's stereotypical in so many manners.

The story revolves around an elite school which trains IS (a kind of power suit only usable by woman) pilots. Where the main character is the only male character who can pilot it. The 3D render and animation quality is great, but too bad the story is more focused on the romance aspect rather than the actions.
quantabiru rated 8.50:A great combination between Bishoujo and Mecha-suit XD Although it's lil 'bit ecchi & harem, but I still like it. I like the character design of females character, especially Shinonono Houki and Laura Bodewig. Both of them are tsundere type (nyan! X3). The design of mecha-suit is cool, but I can't judge the story yet, since I haven't seen it completely :P Overall, it's recommended if we like mecha-battle type anime :)
iamsnowman rated 8.00:i have no idea why people rate this sucks..this is how a harem anime should be..is not like a bunch of crazy action anime like bleach, fairy tail or naruto so personally i giv a score of 8 for personal enjoyment..dun flame me >.< watch it if u like harem and mecha ^_^
ghost945 rated 8.00:robots are for sports rather than war a very noble idea. the fighting scenes are very gundam like with high quality arts and movements. characters are rather interesting. leading male voice artist is pretty new but sounds just right for the character. job well done. fan services pretty good and didn't go over. seiyuu Hanazawa Kana solid performance. love her voice. gave so much life to the character. love to see if there's season 2.
tishdon rated 5.75:Can't exactly say that this series is based anything that could be considered original. Actually perhaps the fact that mecha, harem and comedy are melded to form this series could be called original - but then again probably not.
