infinite stratos (first thing i thought of when hearing the title was the stratosphere ^^°)

pros
+ bright and smooth animation
+ well-done fanservice
+ nice, though expected humour
cons
- too-obvious harem setting
- cramped storyline
- doesn't really explain much

conclusion: i don't really have high expectations for harem/ecchi series anymore, but i did get surprised at least a bit this time. it doesn't drown as much in ecchi as many other series (freezing, seikon no qwaser, etc.). the problem with the storyline on this one is that it's a little cramped due to short time. it doesn't explain all that much, and the characters could have needed more development. the setting's obviously made for harem, not too realistic but hey... it's anime. there's some ecchi, but it doesn't disturb the storyline there is too much. the dialogue's good, only a little expected. bright, smooth animation, although maybe not as action-heavy as most might expect. an okay one to watch if you don't mind strong women (honestly, those dudes *facepalms*). personally, i'm again being a sucker for the manga. it's less rushed, and storyline and charas seem far better executed there. there is still the somewhat-generic harem setting to count in however for those who mind that.

peace.
