Infinite Stratos

Type: Anime & Manga
Status: Anime - Complete (12 episodes)     Manga - Ongoing

Premise: The IS exoskeleton is a piece of technology only usable by women. Developed by Japaneese scientist, due to its immense destructive power a treaty is signed to never use them in war. In this new era of peace insured by the theory of MAD (Mutuality Assured Destruction) it is now possible to train in the use of IS's for sports and other such activities; the academy is an institute located in Japan that accepts equal numbers of applicants from all around the world in order to insure balance. Now we follow Ichika Orimura, the first boy ever to display the ability to control an IS and what happens when a boy tries to attend an all girls school.

Thoughts: This anime is rather entertaining for the shear fact that its fun to watch Ichika scwerm. Imagine if you will a guy being chased by hoards of women all of whom have access to military hardware and are being trained to fight with it. A guilt pleasure,but a pleasure all the same.

Prose: Funny, with some action thrown in for good measure.

Cons: Not serious in the slightest, so don't watch it for the plot.

-Notes: Subbed only with a manga that is lagging behind the anime. Might be a good idea to let this one percolate for a while so as to build up a few more episodes before getting into it.

8/10          (Ahhhhh young love)
