Welcome to the world of Infinite Girls x.x... Was what I thought the title meant after watching the anime.
Review
I'm personally a harem lover, I can't explain it. It's just one of those things. I hate mecha terrible. Sewdough actually made me feel like watching it after all cool things he said about it. Now, if you like harem then this is for you. But mecha lovers, you'll feel pretty disappointed. The majority of the show goes to our main protagonist Orimura, Ichika. The only male that has been said to have the ability to use an I.S. I.S are mechanical exoskeletons that do all the work for you. You want to fly, well guess what. Theirs an app for that. For use of the I.S you need special training. Training facilities that only girls go to (I'm sure you can see where this is going). So, a boy enrolls to a all girls school, with raging hormones and girls willing to do anything to get a touch at him. A few episodes in you'll start to see a trend with transfer students. Most of this anime isn't mecha awesome epic fights or special effects. Just a clueless loser trying to live his life. The kind of person we hate, we despise. The person that doesn't notice the girls around him at all. There's also a tsundere sorry yandere fans =3. In all fairness the anime as a lot of great points to it. New powers come out every 2 - 3 episodes so it doesn't follow the same crap fighting over and over. The girls develop quite nicely with each other. What really took me in was the ending, unlike other anime ending this guy actually made his choice. He took one girl =3.
Art:
Awesome art for a mecha since mecha usually has great art anyway.
Harem - Harem, broadly speaking, is a loose subgenre of anime and manga characterized by a protagonist surrounded, usually amorously, by three or more members of the opposite sex.[1] The most common and practically tantamount scenario is a male surrounded by a group of females;
Mecha - Mechs (plural), or mech (singular) is a broad genre of vehicles (normally walking vehicles) which are usually controlled by a pilot.

The ending was expected although it didn't quite foreshadow that throughout the middle of the series.
I liked it, and you'll especially love it if you have a thing for school swimsuits lol :3

Infinite Stratos was decent, though I found it to be just another generic harem. Anyways, nice review.

That's where I have to disagree with you. Unlike every other harem anime. We have not one but two childhood friends. The only male he meets is his best friend and that was two scene about 6 episodes apart. Lasting only 1 minute.
Then another amazing feature they added is his sister. Cmon a siscon harem lets face it those aren't around a lot. It does have a lot of generic parts to it also. Like childhood friend, childish friend in the group. I can't think of them now, but there are quite a few.

It looks a nice review but I don't understand the words harem and mecha, so I can't understand the review 😖
