Infinite Stratos

Battle Harem's (and harems in general) chances of being bad get higher when the main group of girls exceed 3 with 5+ being 100% confirmed for crash and burn in 12 episodes.

She was one of the good things about season 2 along with her IS unit. In volume 10 of the LN, she goes full deredere. On the other hand, Ichika is starting to notice all of the girls a little more, and vice versa.

Not sure how Volume 11 will look when it comes out next month, the Japanese preview notes a visit to England, another Blue Tears unit (3rd), and some sort of laser weapon "Excalibur". But my moon is rusty so someone else might be able to translate a bit better.

From the Overlap website:
織斑一夏、死す！

イギリスで開発され、衛星軌道上に存在する対IS用高エネルギー収束砲術兵器『エクスカリバー』。亡国機業の攻略によりその制御下に置かれた『エクスカリバー』だったが、突如として暴走、軌道を離れはじめた。
一方、クリスマス・イブが誕生日のセシリアは、とある理由から一夏とテーマパークでのデートを楽しんでいた。そこに降り注ぐ『エクスカリバー』からのレーザー攻撃――。
さらに、BT3号機をまとったチェルシーが現れ、セシリアを挑発する。
そして、代表候補生一同は特命を受け『エクスカリバー』破壊作戦を開始、一夏は成層圏へ向かうが……。

Also, Houki is still mai waifu

So, is IS already forgotten by everyone, or did they just move on to those Ishikei things?

More a matter of everyone liking the girls, hating almost everything else about the series, especially the author.

>>154797679
No anime means no following. Doesn't matter if it has new manga or LNs.

Yeah, I can't believe they did that to Charlotte.

>>154798160
Pretty much. They have enough LN material for another season, but then again things got jumpy in Season 2 and the anime moved in another direction. The current manga is about to hit the end of Season 1 it looks like.

Remembered in 3 ways

1 for how fucking successful it did in sales when in reality, it was pretty shit. It's pretty unremarkable nowadays when compared to most harems but I guess that's what an all-star voice cast and decent visuals can do for you. It's still a shit heap that most people can agree on and have moved on from

2 for having one of the worst MCs

3 because ESL won't stop making Houki threads.

>>154798160
>No anime means no following in the west because Americants are illiterate

ftfy, the vns and lns are popular as fuck.

>>154798160
Merchandise is still out there, and the most recent game was in 2015. If the LNs flop, along with merchandise slowing down, then the series is pretty much dead.

IS vs Gundam SEED (and Destiny)

Man it's already been that long?

Yep, Sep. 2015. In that sense it hasn't been too long since it's been roughly a year between LN releases, but I'm sure plenty of fans have moved on because of how actual new material has slowed down.

>>154798677
I'd take IS in a Super Robot Wars game. Hell, give me Sakura Taisen too while we're at it.

At least they are good for the most part remove Kanzashi she's an even worse imouto than Houki

Maybe the other girls will get their own volumes, but at this rate it would take a decade.

It's not like Yumizuru is doing anything with his LN in the first place. At least she's japanese so that prick won't dare put her in a bad light.

>>154803082
HOLY SHIT this is even lewder than the anime.

>>154810872
That's because it's a doujin

>>154812441
Why does she have her mouth open like that? Are you feeding her sweets during a picnic?
