The most annoying thing about generic harems is that the male lead almost always is oblivious to everything romance and he always has apparently 0 sex drive at a time that is cliche for males to be all about women. Though IS has mostly avoided the important aspect of harems which is the developing and evolving relationships between the lead and his/her harem, which even makes it disappointing in that respect.
For IS if you want something substantial (anything really for plot) its not for you. If you can enjoy cute girls with some funny situations and the occasional mech battle then its just fine.

hmm I wouldn't say 0 but he's apparently afraid of saying no to females and such lol. Who knows, maybe this season will have more of those developing and evolving relationships. I mean, the author must realize it's missing that aspect, no?
well, I'm not expecting a major plot or anything but it does seem like there is something going on with + Show Spoiler +
the phantom army stealing IS and such which is good enough of a plot for me. I doubt he's going to keep doing episodes like that Bday party thing. I get the feeling it was one of those fillers to make more harem scenes and such.
. Yes, they are all pretty cute(Lin the best lol) and get into funny situations and I enjoy that for the most part.

Im starting to get concerned that you may like IS more than me.
What IS is giving you right now is all you'll get, dont expect anything more.

It won't. Remember what Ecael said about IS? He wasn't making predictions, he was stating fact. He has read the source, he knows what will happen. He knows the author is a hack. Expecting anything other than status quo painfully generic harem out of IS will only lead to disappointment.
Harem is fine, since nowadays it is everywhere anyway. Just pick one for each season (or avoid all of them), for example i am quite ok with the unbreakable doll of this season.

wait, why is that concerning? lol. I'm enjoying it for what it is and want to see what direction the author takes with it.

well, I'm not expecting much from it atm. Just watching to see how things progress since it's not the only anime I'm watching. I only said there seems to be some small plot since that's where the recent episode was at. I guess I mean that from my perspective, I don't think we'll be seeing episodes like episode 5 for all the upcoming ones and that it was a unique episode. I'll keep this in mind though.

You should question the taste for anyone who read through more than 3 volumes of IS. The anime is actually decent, and deserves the credit. But the source? just abysmal.
Yea Ecael always crushing my dreams of decent developments in anime by demonstrating that the author of the source material sucks or pussies out and goes off in random directions lol.
But while is pretty spot on with his assessments, doesn't mean you can't get some enjoyment out of them.

Anime is as shit as the source. You skip to see the waifu you want to see, skip again when appearance ended. Rinse and repeat till episode is over.

No it went below my expectation of being shit and drained all motivation I had of skipping through till I find Char/Tatenashi. I think I am behind by like 2 vols. As for anime, this is about the point where I got fed up w/ source, so I am probably just going to give up and look for gifs or something.
