A second, longer-lasting manga began in 2013, ending in 2020 and attaining eight volumes. Yumizuru handled the first manga adaptation in 2010, which ran for five volumes and released across two years. 12 volumes have released since the series started back in 2009, with the upcoming 13th being the last. The show is set for a Winter season appearance, so expect it in January 2011.Infinite Stratos began as a light novel series from author Izuru Yumizuru and is illustrated by Okiura. And yes, I’m aware that that sounds incredibly sexist. So yes, it sounds like an pretty typical harem/action show, but the trailer (which you can see below) promises some slickly-animated CG and a voice cast I’m willing to watch at least some of a show for, including Yoko Hisaka (K-ON!!’s Mio), Yukana (Code Geass’ C.C.), Asami Shimoda (B Gata H Kei’s Yamada) and Kana Hanazawa (Bakemonogatari’s Nadeko).īesides, the fact that there’s a male presence at all suggests that there may be at least some semblance of a plot, which is more than one can say for Strike Witches or whatever they come up with should someone decide to adapt Busou Shinki. Romance, comedy, and high speed battle ensues. Ichika Omimura is drafted into pilot academy because he’s apparently the only boy in the world who can operate the Infinite Stratos (IS) weapons system, which is traditionally girls-only. Billed as a “high speed battle romantic comedy”, the premise sounds equally straightforward.

It’s called Infinite Stratos, adapted from the light novel series of the same name written by Yumizuru Izuru.

But hey, mecha is mecha, even if it’s mecha-musume.

If you’re one of the sci-fi nerd who has been decrying the decline in hardcore sci-fi mecha anime outside the various Gundam shows…well, you’ll probably decry this show, too. He is the only known male in the world who can pilot an Infinite Stratos, which means that his academy life will be surrounded by all girls, considering there are no other boys who can attend the school. When his compatibility with IS is discovered after he accidentally touches an IS at the IS academy at the age of 15, he is given a scholarship and enrolled in a school that specializes in training IS pilots. One of those exceptions is Orimura Ichika, an orphan raised by his older sister who herself is a famous IS pilot.

Unfortunately for the men in society, only women are able to operate Infinite Stratos, with very few exceptions. Infinite Stratos (IS), a Japanese developed exoskeleton weapon system, has become the dominant tool of warfare and conflict.
