About this show

Infinite Stratos (or IS for short) has quickly become at once the greatest tool and deadliest enemy during world conflicts. Unique for the IS, however, is its limitations: only women are able to pilot them. Enter Ichika Orimura, brother of one of the greatest IS pilots in history, and after coming in contact with an IS at 15, oddly capable of piloting one himself. This strange occurrence opens up new worlds for him, and he is immediately enrolled in a school that specializes in IS pilot training. A school...of just girls. Is this a dream come true, or a nightmare come to life?

I have loved this anime ever since day 1 of the first episode released and I should have done this sooner but I thank you for doing this because it is my favorite anime. I really wish season 3 wasn't cancelled tho. Especially because of the cliff hanger on season 2. I have seen each season 42 times going on 43 and I should have shown my gratitude sooner. Like I said it's a bumm kill that season 3 was cancelled but I still thank you.

Yeah, this isn't in Japanese, and isn't subbed, Doesn't really detract, but it's definitely something you should know before you buy.

One thing I love and learned is that it's really the same as rosario + vampire which is also a great series.
