the essay reminded me of my 1000 year long monologues in the bathroom before going to bed, it's long, and talks in a way that it's like it's explaining something to someone...yep, that's definitely it

Hey guys! got some good news here! Infinite Stratos got the 2nd place in Biglobe's Most popular winter 2011 anime poll sadly, the first place is miles away, but the podium is a great place to rest on i think its non representative, but it's a good thing, that people like this series

Well, the weekend is gone, and my experiment to stay away from anything I.S. for 3 days seems to have been a success. Or was it?

Ahem, about episode 11, on the contrary, it is actually the opposite. The original write-up for episode 11 was only a 10 line paragraph at the most, and for a good reason (didn't catch the part where I was getting pissed off near the end of my editorial?). I re-wrote it because the episode 12 write-up damn near took up 1/3 of the entire editorial, making the episode 11 paragraph look like a bunch of Houki fanboy trite (honestly, I actually left out as much Ichi as that episode showed), but I want to be as simple as possible when I explain my reasoning for episode 11. (I'll assume you are talking about my "virtual world" joke, as I see no other Ichi presence in episode 11 that seems "retarded", as you put it.) The original intent of the editorial was to explore some of the reasoning behind the entire series' portrayal, of mainly Ichi and Houki. It's not to explain or justify the intent of a characters actions, I looked at a different view as to Ichi's actions, and I see for a fact this guy's been spending much of his time thinking about Houki. Well damn, just about everything he did had some concern for her, and I pointed it out full well that it's caused him to pretty much ignore everything (and everyone) else around him. I don't need to go on, do I? Maybe the big picture missed is the fact that I'm a Houki fan, and not an Ichi fan Quote:
I understood full well the backlash of I.S. 300+ posts in the Charlotte thread makes a lot of sense, and not everyone wanted to see yet another lead male who didn't give a damn of the beauties around him. Nor do I deny the fact that it is a harem; I make no secret that my belief of a harem posted earlier in the thread is of 3 or more girls, and the fact that I was well aware of even Yamada-sensei's advances proves that I'm just about used to it. But it's a sad fact I never tried to hide that other not-so-obvious meaning behind my editorial: my "harem" tag stems largely of my not-so-secret feeling that some of the girls I wanted to see more of, were shafted. Yeah, you heard that right: I too believe it's a harem, and I admit full well that wasn't something I was going to admit in my editorial, especially when that was painfully obvious of the entire 12,000+ words of why I didn't think it was in actuality "generic". Or have we forgotten we just wanted to see how the 12 episodes played out and why? And why it didn't play out in the "generic" sense of other harem anime I encountered before? I looked at the plot and it's placement, and not its roots. A harem in it's roots, but in no way generic in its writing/storytelling [of the Anime]. I'm only going to give one random example, and that is [the Anime version of] Girls Bravo. That is generic. It's an undeniable fact I.S. has it's faults just like everything else in this world, and I sure don't want to shove it down someone's throat, and it shouldn't even be looked into of my opinion of why I think like so because, seriously, I damaged my keyboard an extra 66,000+ times more than it should have been, and during those 66,000+ times I am sure I was veeerry clear as to I.S.'s faults. I'm not going to deny it, tell me my writing style is just too old to even make a shred of sense. Quote:
Or should I say "Don't forget, it's a 12 episode write-up of what I saw, and its obvious meanings"? I made clear what was my opinion, and conspiracy, which happened in such a small number it's easy to say I was joking half the time. I know, I need to work on that. Keeping work at work, and keeping fun with fun. It's no secret that editorial is heavy with my spy training, which is why I spent the past weekend making a complete fool of [my usual] self mostly in the Dog Days and Hidan no Aria threads (which was a lot more fun than I ever had for I.S., admittedly enough). |

I just started this series... like right now. And all I gotta say... one guy in an all girls futuristic school piloting some high tech mech device thing. Of all things, one guy out of the world?
I give a big FU to whoever came up with that wet dream. LOL.

I mean come one, I may have forgotten in all these years, but was there ever a popular tale of "Legend foretells of an Army of great warriors who will come to smite evil" or something like that? Surely there's another individual out there with a similar goal Ah but I'm not going to go all explanatory on this... no.. no no no. Ok, I'll just be quick with this: I'm going on a limb on saying it is him out of the rest of the world simply because he is Chifuyu-nee's sibling. Granted there's the debate of no one ever trying to find another, but that's one of those left out details... |

What's even worse is that the novel author is very much aware of his own writing problems in Infinite Stratos. A few times in the series, the characters make snarky remarks about how ridiculous Ichika is as a character. It's just that the author simply didn't care, and is vomiting out this series to rake in easy bucks, a tactic which unfortunately has become successful. |

Freezing somewhat suffered a similar fate. I'm just glad to be watching Tears to Tiara at the same time. Otherwise, I probably may lose my mind. Yet to be fair: Quote:

Infinite Stratos OVA
So guys, what's this about? First I've heard of it. If it was posted before, I know, I'm late
Still though, they all have cute clothes. Now I say one thing: I hope they left Rinny's boots on |

No wonder why, I haven't visited that thread in like... months what's it doing there anyways? Shouldn't it have been posted here? This isn't exactly a dead forum XD
And I have only just started reading the novel. It's almost as if time flows so slow for me, because IS is still fresh in my mind |

No but seriously, I wouldn't follow that logic of jumping into the most active thread if there is a more appropriate thread out there. Even for those character threads, I still read them, it's just that at that moment I didn't have any significant material to reply with so my reply backlog gets even more backlogged :/ Anyways, I still have that Houki post I was going to do a couple of months ago. Originally planned to be a part of my radio show, due to external interference I will only post the transcript. Time may flow slow for me, but I didn't forget And the image thread needs to be renamed the NSFW thread, not that I'm complaining It's further proof IS is about the girls, not the plot LOL |

And I'll say it again: If not for Charlotte, I would never have even gotten interested in IS. I think that's pretty much the way it is for most of us--we only got in because there's a character we like.
