Infinite Stratos 01 review begin…

Well, for those who eagerly waiting for this anime to start real soon, and there it is!!! I think this anime is one of the best series of winter anime. I put high hope for this anime because it meets my favorite genres. This story is about weapons call IS or Infinite Stratos, a human type & size mecha, advanced armed suits that only girls can pilot it. Accidentally, a boy named Orimura Ichika also can pilot the IS which makes him the only man that can pilot the IS. Generally, this is a HAREM for him.

For the IS: Infinite Stratos First Episode (Classmates are all females), the first scene shows the future event where Orimura Ichika work together with the girls to bring down the enemy.The fight shown was really amazing and it reminds me the fight of the gundam. The fight shown was really look like gundam combine with macross style. For the Opening theme song, is not that bad and acceptable. For the ending theme, The scene is quite plan and nothing much.

At the start, Ichika started his class and he feels unease with the atmosphere of the class because all girl are watching him. This is an all girl school, what do you expect… Joining him in that class is his childhood friend (osananajimi), Sinonono Houki. Sinonono Houki(ponytail hair-style) is a kendo champion. I think she is the prettiest girl among others and was voiced by the famous Hikasa Youko(Mio from K-on). In my opinion, Houki might likes Ichika. In the class, Ichika found out that his homeroom teacher will be his own sister, Orimura Chifuyu (Chifuyu-nee). She is one of the Is first generation pilot which makes her a famous person. The other teacher shown in this episode is Yamada Maya, an energetic green hair teacher. Alcott Cecilia makes the first appearance when she asking Ichika on something. She is very proud of her status. In the end, Ichika and Cecilia fight because of disagreement in status. The other character will be introduce in the next episode. After enrolled in all girl school, Ichika was forced to live in the girls dorm as well! He found out that his roommate is Houki!!! He is a lucky guy… Another lucky event for him is Houki after bath scene. Wohooo!!!

Basically, this shows how Ichika enrolled in the academy and how he encountered the girl. Nothing much to say. He is just a lucky guy that enroll to all girl school that have a lot of Bishoujo (hot & pretty girl). I think in the end, all of the girl will like him. That’s mean Harem!!! What a lucky guy!!! There will be a showdown soon when Cecilia challenge Ichika in a fight. This will be exciting!
