Infinite Stratos - Episode 06 Discussion / Poll

[DragoZERO]

Oh man. Ichika's stupidity is so funny. I wonder if it's done purposely. But the girls banning together was really funny in the beginning. They are going to learn a good lesson soon... reverse traps are big threats.

And their IS uniforms... godly every time.

It was glaringly obvious she was a girl. In fact, it was so obvious I'm surprised no one in the series found out earlier. I can understand why Ichika didn't have any suspicions since he's even denser than osmium, but it's weird the girls didn't notice anything. Ah well.

For the sole reason of calling him a pervert, she was the perfect cast. She does it... perfectly. It hits home, every time, no matter the series.

There is one thing that bewildered me about this reveal however, and that is... her breast size. For some reason, I was convinced she would be near flat-chested, but it turns out she's got some mighty fine assets. Perfect combination of sexiness and cuteness. The kind of girl I love the most.

Right? How does she hide those things!? Ah, anime physics, gotta love it.

Charlotte asking Ichika to feed her while doing the cute face just ain't fair for Ichika....

let this be a lesson to the men such as me and you (probably).

women have a secret weapon they sometimes unknowingly use, and THIS is the weapon shown that can turn even the most hardy veteran to HHHNNNNNGGGGG'd submission.

ichika's thought pattern would probably be like this when he saw the 'weapon of intense cuteness' activating:

"Charles, thats... just not fair man. if you make a face like that... i cant... refuse...."

Well she try to depend on Ichika, I think .

[Ryonea]

Gotta say that this is best episode so far I'm really enjoying it.
And I knew that Charlotte will be my fave. She has the most pleasing personality among the other girls

[TrueKnight]

After ep 6, I think it's official. French girl completely pwned the rest of the harem. Morever she didn't back down when the German girl threatened her, WW2 lulz.

Charles >>>>> all IS girls.

I hope not D:

Spoiler for My impressions:

It was going fine until Charles had to say "Germans are really hot tempered". What is with the author and why does he keep stereotyping everyone?

And why the hell is Ichika so God damn gay? "We should change together once in a while!" Geez if I knew a guy that was uncomfortable about changing around other guys, I'd just leave him be.

There were some interesting things for a change, though. Ichika was rather rational about refusing to fight Laura. And his and his sisters backstory is a little interesting, because it does actually hint at some politics going on (Though I wish that would actually be the focus. It doesn't even seem as if Ichika is in the least bit interested in the political side of things despite the fact that he's clearly caught up in it whether he likes it or not.)

Wow, I seriously loled when Ichika just continued to hand her the body soap. Fucking brilliant. XD

Well Charles's explanation seemed convincing until she explained why she had to act like a guy. To gain publicity and get data from the other guy? And they really thought something like that could possibly work? I dunno. I think companies are bit smarter and more brutally underhanded when it comes to such things.

And I'm not even gonna bother to try and reason out how Charles was able to hide those breasts.

"Although I don't look like it, I'm a hard worker"
Translation: Raised IQ when the plot demands.
Be more consistent and it'll be a bit more convincing.

Why do all the women in anime always accuse guys of being perverts for things that aren't even their fault? I mean he's just a regular guy (And by the way, thank God we finally see some conclusive evidence for it). Atleast he had the decency of pointing that out. Others would've just not said a damn thing (not just because they want to look down but because it's too uncomfortable to point it out).

Then more retarded harem hijinks. Also:

Spoiler for what a ridiculous waste of money...:

God damn it, I can't say i didn't see it coming but now Charles had been added to this ridiculuous harem. I will raeg hard if her character suffers because of this like the other girls.

Oh wow. Superpowerd eye. In a mecha show. I wonder where I've seen that before.

Overall despite some flaws I guess this episode is probably the best I've seen so far (though that's not saying much). Ichika is still acting like a retarded wimp but there was decent 'manly' stuff to balance things out a little so he wasn't as insufferable this time round.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that gay…

Indeed, that was crossing the line. Ichika was also very touchy. Maybe the reason his harem doesn't phase him is because...

Charlotte is so freakin'...just holy sh...



Ichika, she is your destined girl

The VA for her is just so great with that low-key voice!

[I_am_Kami]

Anyone else think Charlotte is more adorable with her hair untied?


A side note, Laura has alotta German pride

I like her with her hair tied.

[Endscape]

Pretty good episode. Charlotte was even better than I expected. Still routing for Houki, but Charlotte's tied with her Got to say, Ichika just handing her the body soap like that was brilliant.

Well Charles's explanation seemed convincing until she explained why she had to act like a guy. To gain publicity and get data from the other guy?

The point was that since they're both guys, they would logically get the same room which would make it easier to steal from him.

It's not that, that I have trouble understanding. It's just that i can't imagine something like that actually happening in real life. Corruption by reverse traps? Think about it.

[Klashikari]

You can't compare with real world setting, whereas we hardly have any "gender exclusive" kind of stuff occuring.
I know the suspension of disbelief is hard at times with IS, but in this case, it is no less credible than the rest.

Infiltrating the academy as any other girl isn't really giving any advantage whatsoever.

[Haak]

I know but it's just that corruption isn't the kind of thing I'm used to seeing 'Japanofied' like that, so I guess that's why it's harder for me to suspend my disbelief for it than for others.

I completely understand that I'm supposed to switch my brain off when I'm watching this show. But for whatever reason, I just can't. i guess it's because I find nothing remarkable about it whatsoever that I feel I get more enjoyment out of being a cynical snarky elitist about it than I would if watched it as I should. In a sense I can almost take some sort of perverse satisfaction in being reminded that I have higher standards than this...
