Infinite Stratos Complete Collection [Blu-ray]

Don't miss this!
I pre-ordered this as soon as Amazon listed it, and it came recently. I watched it over three nights, and it was great! The inclusion of a soundtrack CD with the blu-ray discs was also most welcome.

Set in the near future, the basis of the story is pretty standard fare; one guy in an academy full of girls! Add the inevitable childhood sweethearts, girls with guns (or in this case, mecha suits called IS's; the 'Infinite Stratos' of the title) and comic mayhem is a dead cert! Jealousy, tantrums, broken hearts, embarrassing moments involving underwear or swimsuits, and pretty much all aspects of 'anime' life are represented here. The animation and music tracks are stunning; the aerial 'dog-fight' sequences are brilliantly executed, and the technology of the IS's is cool and believable. There is lots of cuteness, and some heart-stopping moments.

The male lead is Ichika Orimura, a 15-year-old boy who is found to be the only male in the world who can pilot an IS...
Why not
The overall quality is great, however im going to focus on the smaller things that may make or break this blu ray for you.

First, when it comes to sentai products they have a habit of rolling a long list of credits at the end of every episode. So if you're like me and you have it turned on and are just listening to it the end of the episodes may start to annoy you.

Second, be aware that the voice acting emphasizes the multi cultural aspect of the plot... by that I mean the voice actors really emphasized the accents of the individual characters. You get used to it but this could be a make or break, until you realize that the original audio is still on the disk as well as subtitles.

I would recommend this for people who watched it when it first aired, are into harems, and even robots. The quality is great and the item is packed with some extra bonuses like an soundtrack cd that has primarily has all the versions of Super Stream and a couple other songs...
I'm happy that I bought this one.
Infinite Stratos is a weaponized exoskeleton that can only be used by women, with only 1 exception. Ichiki has been accepted into the IS academy and is learning to use the IS. The only problem is that being the only male student there makes him very popular. Wait a minute.... how is that a problem? Ichika is going to have the time of his life.

Infinite Stratos is a great series. IT has great characters, animation, voice actors, and music. There's way more to love about this series than there is to not. I've even heard rumors of a 2nd season. Whoopie! This anime should make you laugh and give you a lot of enjoyment.
