Infinite Stratos Season 1 Crunchyroll

The July issue of Shogakukan's Monthly Sunday GX magazine revealed on Tuesday that Homura Yūki's Infinite Stratos manga adaptation is going on hiatus and will return next year. Shogakukan plans to publish the seventh manga volume around the same time that the manga will return, and will announce the return date in the magazine and on the magazine's official Twitter account. Shogakukan did not give a reason for the hiatus, only that it was due to 'circumstances.'

Yūki launched the manga in Monthly Sunday GX in May 2013. Shogakukan published the sixth volume in Japan in August 2017.

The manga is based on Izuru Yumizuru's Infinite Stratos light novel series. The novel series, with illustrations by CHOCO, launched in 2009, and will end with the 13th volume.

J-Novel Clublicensed the novel series and is releasing it digitally. The company describes the story:

In a world of technological progress, females are the only ones who can pilot the most advanced military unit in history—the Infinite Stratos (IS). With this power, women have seized complete control of all political, social, and economic ventures; leaving men to the fringes of society, made to tend to the whims of their now, female overlords. That is until Orimura Ichika, the sole male found to have IS piloting ability, is thrust into the spotlight, and enrolled at the prestigious IS Academy. Stuck in the middle of a female-dominated population, Ichika sets out to prove men still have a place in this world. Little did he know, he's just the thing these women have been looking for.

The first anime adaptation of the novels debuted in 2011. Sentai Filmworksstreamed the television anime series as it aired in Japan, and released the anime on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in 2012. The second season premiered in 2013, and Crunchyrollstreamed the season as it aired. Sentai Filmworks released the second season on DVD in 2014, and on Blu-ray Disc in January 2017. The franchise has also inspired multiple game, manga, and original video anime projects.

No.

Having seen the first episode of IS2 about three times as of this writing, I can confidently tell you that the extended version is a waste of time as far as these things go. Pleasant, yes, but eminently forgettable. The quality of the fanservice was about a bit below average for IS standards, too. The original episode effectively summarised all the sexy moments with a handful of still frames, and while it’s nice to see a story connecting those frames here, in true IS fashion there is in fact no story at all.

Don’t get me wrong: I love IS, but I think that, on top of revealing the heroines’ bodies, this extended cut also reveals the botched planning and production of this second season. To make up for it, this season has ramped up the fanservice to eleven and while that has led to some extremely creative situations (Charlotte’s panties, anyone?) I can’t say any of it flows awfully well. The scenes just don’t seem to connect at all. I’m not asking for a deep plot or anything – just get the basic structure of an episode right. The fact that the anime writers really didn’t know how to edit this episode really shows in how it got turned into a low-budget OVA at all.

And man is it low-budget. Even here, where you’d think they’d at least attempt to tell the pool and festival stories with actual animation, the anime falls back onto what is essentially a Power Point Presentation but with voiceovers from popular voice actresses. Meaning: Animation? What animation?

Okay, so, the “plot” for those of you who have wisely decided to forego watching the episode in favour of a recap: First, Cecilia snags Ichika for herself while the others are changing. When she thinks that she’ll be found, Cecilia ducks underwater and drags Ichika with her, leading to CHECKPOINT A (the image above).

As for CHECKPOINT B, which is when Ichika gropes Charlotte’s breasts, what happens is that they all decided to go on a water slide, but because it could only fit two people at once, Charlotte and Houki challenge each other to rock-paper-scissors. Charlotte wins and sits on Ichika’s lap. The slide is intense and, needing something to latch onto, Ichika blindly grabs Charlotte’s breasts. That’s about it. Charlotte tells Ichika gosh what a jolly pervert he is, but she also says this in episode 6. And in every other episode besides that.

Basically, what I’m saying is: this is a lazy-as-fuck extra and you could have worked out everything that I just wrote in the above two paragraphs just from looking at the slideshow in episode 1. The connecting scenes don’t add anything except for self-explaining context.

The best girl in the harem whose name I don’t know

Nba jersey font. He only wants it under the second half of the name though example. Also the font he was looking at has a tail under it. They will be mostly double digit numbers on adult male jerseys.

All in all, there was about ten minutes of new “footage” here (a term I use loosely), and then the full version of the ED, which is played over yet more “footage”. If you haven’t seen the first episode of IS2 yet, then sure, pull up a seat and watch the OVA, but for everyone else, the fanservice is boring and a regular episode of IS2 is more titillating, funnier and more creatively written than what we got here.

Mind you, that isn’t a disservice to Infinite Stratos as a whole. Because for all the flaws in its production, this is a franchise that really knows how to push the fanboy buttons, and when this series is working, it’s a godly example of otaku fanservice. The OVA isn’t IS at its most hrrrrnnnngggghhhh-inducing – it’s just generic copy-and-paste fanservice, and that’s something you could get from any harem/ecchi series.

Verdict: If you’re a hardcore IS fan, then by all means add this to your collection, but for everyone else who has seen episode 1 and who wants the good fanservice, then you’re free to give this OVA a miss.
