this is one of those animes where i think its quite good but others say its not. this is my review of it in myanimelist .
" i don't know why the score for this anime is so low. personally, i think its actually quite good if you see this anime as a harem.
STORY:
theres nothing special about the story in this anime. its just a typical harem with 1 male lead going to an all girls school for IS pilots. obviously, it has a sci-fi feeling to it all the technologies and stuff.
theres no real use for the IS, at first, i imagined this anime would have a theme of war, but its only used for sports. furthermore, only girls can use the IS, theres no other guy for the lead to fight against with his IS. boy fighting with girls just doesnt feel right. it just doesnt give you that thrilling feeling. thats why i said you need to watch this as a harem, not an action anime.
another thing i was dissappointed in is the ending. this anime is lacking an antagonist. yes, there will be a fight at the ending but they don't even know who or wht theyre fighting against. i just don't get it. theres actually some holes in the story that leaves you wondering. for example, why did people kidnapped orimura when her sister was in the competition. this kind of question with an open answer allows the anime to have a second season. i really think it should have one.
ART:
arts not bad. but i hate it when they fight using the IS. its in 3d. man that just ruins the mood. they only use 2d when theres a close-up on the character. when i said the art was good, im probably saying it because of the design of the art in the anime. it gives off a very modern but not too sci-fi feeling to it. from the rooms to clothing
SOUND:
i should actuallygive a 6for sound but charlotte's sound track urges me to click 7, i feel like im in france -,-
CHARACTERS:
all the cliche characters of a harem anime is here, blondes, childhood friends, tsundere.. u name it. but my personal favourite has got to be charlotte. shes just so cute.
nothing special in the male lead, he's just your everage boy whos dense to the core, talented, kind and so on.
ENJOYMENT:
pretty much enjoyed the show but this seriously needs a second season to make up the mistakes of the first one.
favourite scene: towards the end of episode 8, funny :)"
people say IS is a bad anime. not worth the time. i have to agree that it sucked in a way, especially the graphic. after rewatching it, i found out at bakatsuki its from a light novel and already had 7 volumes.
the novels where quite good. even better than zero no tsukaima i guess. zero no tsukaima gives you a novel feeling but IS realy gives you an anime feeling. probably because of all the sci-fi and harem. but the cons of the novel is that it's really hard to know whats going on during the fight scenes. sometimes, i just read it briefly to get the picture of whos winning/losing. the novel is also 2x more detailed than the anime. some scenes of the anime that took 2minutes could be as long as 20 minutes to read. an example is when ichika visit Ran's house. some lines are repeated, "maybe im just imagining things" i dont know if its a joke or anything but it gets old.
owh yeah, the number of girls in the anime is 5, like in the image above. the number of girls in the novel is 8(for now). besides that, theres slight differences between the novel and anime example:charlotte and laura transfered on the same day in the novel but on different days in the anime.
sorry for my nubish post. XD
