We now return to MY HAPPY PLACE
Okay guys before we begin with ‘plot’ and ‘perception’ can we get something out of the way-
I LOVE CECILIA ALCOTT. I DON’T KNOW WHY, IT’S SOMETHING ABOUT HER LONG ENDING IN CURLS GOLDEN HAIR, HER FABULOUS COLOR SCHEME, HER AWESOME BATHING SUIT FIGURE- I can’t say no to Cecilia Alcott. SO EXPECT ME TO FANGIRL HER. Don’t get me wrong, I am innapropriately infatuated with all the girls of IS, but Cecilia is my boo. Incidentally I don’t want her to ‘win’, I just think she’s fabulous. Kind of hoping Houki Charlotte and Laura agree to a forever foursome and Lingyin and Cecilia lesbian off to the corner.
COUGH, ANYWAY.
Ichika is almost dream strangled!!!
And then extreme mood whiplash as LAURA IS IN BED WITH ICHIKA cue some really funny dialect and some crap about a date festival. We know how this goes, but instead of it just being annoying, Laura is such a fucking moe. DAMMIT LAURA WHY CAN’T I QUIT YOU?
Ichika of course DOESN’T GET IT because of course he doesn’t get that a girl might dig him until she presses her boobs against him NAKED and even then he’s like WOAH WOAH WOAh. I choose to believe he is scoping his options and shooting for that foursome, but given Laura’s inclination to stab him at the mention of other women well. . . no.
I think Ichika took an extra class in THE DUMBB because he never seemed THIS blatantly retarded towards a girls feelings as he is in the INTRODUCING EVERY GIRL AND HOW THE MAIN CHARACTER IGNORES THEIR FEELINGS episode.
….Laura invited him on a date. HE PROCEEDS TO INVITE EVERY GIRL INTERESTED IN HIM WITH THE FLIER THAT SAYS POOL EVENT / DATE. ICHIKA. I see you majored in dipshit harem protagonist. This guy, this guy I don’t even.
As usual, the girls are what make this show. Their commentary on his idiocy and their adorable and awesome personalities while also kicking ass are just A+ even in the first episode. And now that they’re all kind of friends, watching them interact makes for some HILARIOUS shit. Laura’s commentary about Ichika being her ‘bride’ . .. .just. . .yes.
This show I just. I . . .I must.
GET OFF MY SCREEN ICHIKA I’M CHECKING OUT YOUR GIRLFRIENDS. I just want to cuddle with all of these girls and then go awesome mech fighting. Guys Charlotte. . . .and Laura and I THINK THIS SHOW IS SETTING MY UP TO JUST WANT THEM ALL TO BE LESBIANS
THIS SHOW THESE GIRLS I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT ICHIKA
This whole episode is basically a giant OVA of adorable. I mean, if this were an OVA I’d buy it, because my god. Charlotte in a butler outfit and shopping with Laura, Lin punching Ichika over seeing her tiny boobs, Cecilia’s flower petal imagination, Houki’s boobs always growing YES ALWAYS YES HOUKI. I know there is a plot here but I’m too busy caring about all the damn cute. I NORMALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT CUTE WHAT HAS WROUGHT ME TO MY CORE SO DEEPLY OVER THIS MOE?
Oh right because everytime I start to get sick of moe crap the girls all kick everything’s ASS. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
If there’s two things I love it’s cute girls and cute girls kicking ass. YES. ALL OF THE YES. A PLUS.
After all the moe the plot happens near the end with an intruder who has come to the base for one purpose: To steal the hidden machine, Infinite Stratos!
Buut the episode ends with the date subplot, because ICHIKA IS A MORON
Guys. . .I see it now. . .revealed at the end of the episode. . . was every wall scroll, pin up, and poster I’ll be buying of them at Anime Boston 2014. . . .all of the girls. . .their sweet sweet anger at Ichika. . . in the bikinis. . . .
IMPRESSION:
IT’S A HAREM SHOW WITH GIRLS WHO DO THINGS BUT AREN’T ALWAYS FANSERVICE BUT ARE A LOT OF THE TIME BUT ALSO DO COOL THINGS SO I’M CONFLICTED IT’S JUST LIKE LAST SEASON WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME I’M COVERING IT OKAY.
