All these IS talks and 'character development' reminded me of the awesome I''S. Am I too old to know that manga/anime now.
Zetman anime is a failure and the manga is just not that good.
Speaking of which, I just discovered that gunpla gundam *_* cool stuff but how the hell am i suppose to watch that with anyone around me. Wonder if TurnA model would show up in the end lol.

I still remember the best moment in IS. "It's all my fault. If only I, a five year old child was strong enough, my sister wouldn't have had to save me from armed terrorists. I was so weak, and it's all my fault". I watched this at a friend's house, and we had to pause at this because of the ridiculousness.

I mean, it's like the show went from being about fighting and a story with light harem to full out harem >.> I certainly wasn't expecting that at all. I'm still going to watch because I can see a story forming but wow, such a major change from season 1. Laura's change was the most dramatic though. Cecilia wasn't as bizzare imo but Laura, wow. Her tough personality is pretty much gone >.> I figured they'll still have them all killing themselves over Ichika and such which was entertaining but ya, way too much harem >.> Even Charlotte's character is now all about Ichika lol. Hopefully they'll get to more battles instead of these weird all out harem episodes. Would've liked to see more phantom organization crimes and such and not just the weak autumn IS attack. I have to wonder if episode 5 was the fanservice one seeing as how it was nothing but them all dressing up in revealing costumes to try and entertain him lol. Any reason why the author went this route for the last 3 episodes? By the first season finale and such, I felt that there was progress being made in terms of them working together as a team in battles and such. I was hoping that the second season would continue with another year, more battles between them and with enemies and such. Since it's only five episodes in, hopefully they'll shift a bit towards that  Show nested quote +On November 06 2013 13:21 Sentenal wrote:On November 06 2013 13:17 BigFan wrote:I was never looking for any relationship developments.

And so you decided to watch IS.... You and XenOmega will never cease to amaze me. And you are going to be mad, as Rin and Cecilia are both the two least popular girls, and get ignored almost completely in favor of Broom. I heard talk about it on here and it seemed interesting from the summary. Not sure why you think that's amazing lol. Most of the anime names I've heard about are from what I read in this thread. I can see Cecilia being least popular but Rin as well? Does this have to do with the fact that Laura used to be a badass that she's not least popular? Then again, it doesn't really matter lol. I doubt there will be any pairings in this anime and if there was, it'll be the usual first childhood friend pairing just cause that seems like the usual stuff in anime. Is there stats or something? Broom is Houki? yeah I do agree with that. Like you said in the post before that, I as well enjoyed the commedy / tsundere moments, not necessarily only from houki but everytime ichika misunderstands the situation the most. I think when Season 2 EP01 aired I told people in here that it was just overkill, too much charles/Laura doing cute stuff any nothing else and everyone was mad because that's why everyone watches IS apparently. Idk, I found season 1 really funny for some reason.
Season 2 is a lot better when it comes to action scenes / fights but noone except for sent watches IS for mecha reasons. In every other regard season 1 > season 2. They just went full nonstop slutty on everyone 
Edit: the ova was decent though, if you haven't watched that yet might want to try it out.

I dunno why people would watch IS for purely the mecha because imo most of the mecha looks weird and is not as well done as "real" mecha anime. IS is a giant mix of harem comedy, action, drama, and cuteness (moe I guess?) and thats why I enjoy it because it has a lot of different aspects that can keep you entertained when the other portions slip into stupidity or are neglected.

I do have to say, she clearly won the contest in the last episode outside of the cat interference (poor Lin).

Honestly I think it is just getting to a point where the producers are trying desperately to at least let broom get some attention at any cost, since popularity wise she just got obliterated from S1 to now.
In the meantime shit author gives no fucks and keeps adding people into harem, the series is reaching Horizon level numbers of characters, at like 10% the page number, some real lulz.

We've seen Turn A and Turn X models in the display case so far, and several battles involving other Turn A suits. Wouldn't be surprised if it shows up sooner or later in a battle.

What we need is G Gundams. It's been so long since I've seen that series I had forgotten how ridiculous some of the designs were. Nobel Gundam, Mermaid Gundam and Tequilla Gundam. Story wise they would make the most sense to include since G Gundam was about a mobile suit tournament between nations, but I don't know if Gunpla could include the hyper modes that some of the gundams used.

That said, there's no 'shadowed out' G gundam unit in the opening (though there is an SD knight gundam)
And all the shadowed out machines have shown up as secondary characters units (IE, Gyan for Sazaki, Gerbera Tetra for Kirara, SUMO Harry Ord custom for the Gorilla)

Lol, Madoka movie for Oscar nomination, that's ridicules.
