First impression, mechs battling each other. Reality, HAREM. Don't expect long mecha battle scenes guys. The anime is clearly a Mecha Harem, with Harem overpowering. The protagonist will be surrounded by four beautiful girls as they try to make him fall in love with them.
The anime aired from January up to March of 2011 and finished with 12 episodes plus one OVA.
Set in the future, war between men and women wouldn't last more than three days. Women had been superior to the men, as they are able to pilot the powered exoskeleton called IS or Infinite Stratos, made by Dr. Tabane Shinonono.
Then, military offices were hacked and missiles launched as soon as Dr. Tabane showed the entire world her life-changing invention. Unexpectedly, an IS appears, piloted by an unknown woman who had stopped all the missiles and disappeared like it never happened.
The story starts ten years later, as one guy, named Ichika Orimura, during an entrance exam, accidentally moves an IS and becomes the world's first male ever to move an IS. Media came in and everything else. Then, he was transferred to the IS school, the world's first and only IS school. Unsurprisingly, it's full of girls. Not one guy can be seen but Ichika.
The story progresses like it's light novel counterpart. He engages in battles concerning rivalry and to unravel the secrets of the powered exoskeleton. To add more, the girls he becomes friends with develop actual feelings for in and they always try to get his attention.
Yup, all of that and it's still a harem. Yes, it has a plot, but I didn't feel it. just School life Harem with the mecha twist. It seriously needs another, more serious season. I really felt bad that the mecha genre wasn't taken seriously. It can be longer and more serious. If the anime was longer, characters can be developed more and won't be discarded quickly like in the show.
