Infinite Stratos (TV).

Edit: Kruszer, I also have another post before this one that you may have missed.

I wouldn't demand that people watch it if they absolutely loathe it, but bailing way too early like that does forfeit your right to come into a thread about it and have your opinion taken seriously by people who are actually watching it or who have seen more of it.

As far as I know, the second episode has not been aired yet (as of this post, episode two is five days five hours from simply being aired let alone fansubbed). Therefore, I've seen just as much as you or anyone else has, and following on from that, I don't see how you can claim to know more about what was actually aired than I do.

If someone comes into a discussion thread after, say, four episodes had aired and only talking about episode one, then yeah, you would have a point. I wouldn't know from first hand experience if the series had gotten worse, better, or stayed the same.

But as previously stated, only one episode has aired. Saying that I've somehow unknowingly forfeited my right to talk about what was wrong with the only episode anyone has actually watched . . . well, I'm under Moderation, so I'm not sure I can say what I really want to, but I think you get my point.

What's interesting to me about this series is that even though the first eppie contains a lot of very shopworn elements (as already noted by myself and others) it nonetheless engaged me. Not sure why that is other than, in my case, I guess there is some sort of "X" factor at work that is elevating the sum of the show above its familiar parts.

Yes it's still kind of early for this particular series. Still the point remains that you're still posting in a thread for a series that you've dropped and wasted your time when you could have been doing something more productive.

You somewhat like Freezing, but not this? IMO both animes are fundamentally the same. A boy surrounded by buxom girls xcept no fking. Just a lot of teasing.

I'm going to assume that wasn't meant for me, because I remember saying I was not interested in Freezing (on the Freezing thread.) I have to rewatch Freezing to understand it, since I remember being bored out of mind while watching it.

I'm actually going to be watching this whole series no matter what, because I'm a huge fan of mecha. IMO, it's turning out good for what I would call an average show. It's different from most of the harems I've seen, and it doesn't give "super-fanservice" (actually, there was barely any fanservice tbh), but some witty jokes. I honestly really like this show, and it's probably one of my top favorites of this season so far. It's very entertaining to me. As for the rest of your post, I agree with it.

I say watch first 3 episodes and see if the anime progresses. Logically, you can't just drop or give up on an anime without giving it a chance. That's a quitter's habit. The first episode is the attention grabber. Clearly, they failed.
