Infinite Stratos Review

Overall rating 5.0/10 - Mixed feelings, wasted opportuity to make a good show.

It is watchable only if you do not mind excessive pointless violence towards male MC

I either dropped it closer to very end or actually completed it.

This one is another mixed feeling anime, that has things I love and hate simultaneously.

On one hand it has mechas, futuristic environment and a harem full of rather likable girls who are completely obsessed over main protagonist. They actually do fight each other over him. It almost could reach 7 or 8.

However, on the other hand, all these females are very violent and brutal, especially towards male protagonist himself. They not as much fight each other as they should, as much just vent their anger on him. How it is a guy's fault, if one of their rivals for his affection trying to get his attention. That kills all possible enjoyment for me. 

Somehow it gets only worse as show progresses. It becomes truly painful to watch. If they taking clues from Girls Bravo or Love Hina, they fail.

They need more girls like Miharu that do not cause girl-allergy, not more violent girls like Kojima or that other brown-hair from so many shows.

Because of it all, I have mixed feelings. Another great opportunity was wasted here. Truly wasted.
