Laura Bodewig + Show Spoiler +Laura is a first year student at the IS academy and is the IS cadet representative from Germany. A genetically engineered super soldier, Laura is a member of the German military and holds the rank of second lieutenant. She has red eyes, long silver hair, and a black eye patch over her left eye. Laura was under Chifuyu's guidance when the latter was in the German army and thus holds Chifuyu in high regard.
I highlighted the most important part, obviously

+ Show Spoiler +This makes her think back to a discussion with Chifuyu who had told her to be careful of the great and mysterious power of Ichika that can make any girl fall in love with him. No wonder all the girls love Ichika. I knew he had some kinda special power.

There are just so many and I generally don't mind them. If I start a show I almost always finish it even if it's god awful. Example: I recently finished Da Capo second season and it was such a miserable piece of trash that I couldn't wait for it to be done. I didn't even really care for Da Capo so I don't know why I put myself through it. I know how you feel, but there are animes that have broken me, and I've called it quits before. I try to finish most of my stuff, but there has only been like ~10 series. The only one i can think off the top of my head is princess somethingSCRAPPED PRINCESS. Oh god IT WAS THE FCUKING WORST. Spice and wolf was another one

Ok, I lied. I dropped Queen's blade halfway through the 2nd episode.

From the MAL page:
Charles pilots the Rafale Revive Custom II IS
Edit @ Zergneedsfood: So far I'd say that Madoka and Hourou Musuko are the only things worth mentioning from this season.

Gosick is lackluster, IS is disappointing, YM isn't bad and can be enjoyed for what it is, Kore Wa Zombie is just fun, but has it's darker moments, and Madoka is the clear cut winner of the season so far.
Oh, and Kimi Ni Todoke, but there is only one other watching it with me ~

I was considering Kimi Ni Todoke. I think my girlfriend wanted me to watch that also....so maybe I'll give that a try then.....
Edit: Since it's 2nd semester of senior year I just bring my laptop to school with my external and watch Animes while doing some work. xD

You haven't seen Madoka? Why are you watching Merry or anything this season while you haven't seen Madoka yet?
Go and watch Madoka. 
(Wandering Son is good if you want something that is serious and thought provoking, but the manga is still regarded as better. IS is so bad it is hilarious harem-comedy with mecha. Gosick is a failed Conan adaptation after the first world war with a loli as main character. Fractale is ...strange but intriguing.)

Kimi ni todoke is probably 2nd behind Madoka. You should definitely give it a try, it is pretty good.

WELCOME TO JC STAFF
Edit: Oh crap, I'm confusing this show with Merry, aren't I.
The manga has a bunch of backstory that the anime's cut. Cecilia's past, for one.
Best part of the IS episode this week was the fact that the big sister knows that everyone's gunning for Ichika.

IS is made by JC Staff?

You people should have much higher tolerance to harem shows than me, so I don't see why you all hate it so much lol. I mean, the show is IMO just average at best, but you people are acting like its the worst show you have ever seen.
And I've found out why people are saying that french reverse trap pilots the Alteisen:
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/zBwpC.jpg) So its like an orange Alteisen that can fly.
I will reserve my judgement until I see her drive that hot shaft into another girl, and then fire off a few rounds into them.

I was turned off a bit by the genre. >.> But I'll give that a try too.
Edit: Oh shit this is boss.

+ Show Spoiler [Madoka speculation] +People are saying that maybe Homura is a time traveler or something. Maybe Homura was a regular person, and Madoka became a puella magi. And they had a little yuri thing going on, and when Madoka died, Homura made a contract and wished to go back in time to save Madoka and stop her from making a contract.
They are even saying that Homura is Madoka herself gone back in time lolol

It is not a girly mahou shoujo at all. You have girls and magic and that's it. So far it is clearly the best show this season in most categories (at least for me). Art, story progression, music, amount of possible speculation.
But please give it an 3-episode test. Don't use gg subs, get the ones from Nutbladder or yesy.

Yeah dude, for sure. This shit looks badass.
Also. Where are the ones from Nutbladder/yesy? I'm bad at finding this stuff so I just stick with websites like animecrazy if I can't find them.
