Hello everyone,
The long awaited moment has come! Yes, after many months of wait, we are here to talk again about the fanservice/comedy anime series Infinite Stratos that return with a new OVA episode!
After the massive success of the TV series (it was the most successfull series of that season after Madoka Magica in terms of sales), the girls comes back in this OVA episode giving us some additional screentime for each one of them.
The focus is, as always, more leaned toward Houki Shinonono as main heroine, but all the other girls (especially Charlotte Dunoa) get their own shining moments in this small episode.

In order to enjoy more this episode, I re-watched all the TV anime in BD quality last week. I have to say that the whole show is even more enjoyable with the additional detail on both girls and battles provided by the BD release..
The OVA episode is 26 minute long (including credits/OP) and is some sort of "gift" to the fan of the series and maybe also a way to scout the market.
Why "scout the market"? Well, because after the successfull sales of the first season there are good chances to see a second season of Infinite Stratos in the near future.

The episode is divided into two main logical parts. The first one focuses on the girls trying to get more information about Ichika's life by going to visit him at home.
Obviously whenever you put in the same room all the girls together you can expect comedy to happen and we got plenty of quality comedy this time around. (I loved the whole france/england alliance at the beginning)
At the same time I was expecting more fanservice from this first half, but the comedy overshadowed the little fanservice moments we had.
This! This is what I missed of Infinite Stratos and what is completely missing from many fanservice series of the recent seasons (including C^3, Maken-Ki and all the others).
The cute and lovely Charlotte is able with simple actions to shoot through your heart! I had to repeat multiple times this scene before proceeding in the episode...:P
I doubt anyone can deny the moè power of Charlotte and maybe the only one who can fight on the same level is Laura with her loli-look and pure personality.

The second part focuses on Houki Shinonono (she gets a wonderful fanservice scene), the "main heroine" of the cast, struggling to get some time alone with Ichika in a local festival.
The final fireworks scene brings a bit of closure on the whole incident shown at the end of the first season and at the same time leave all the choices open for our protagonist to pursue.
I wonder who will be the choosen girl at the end of the novels. If it were for me I would go for a Laura + Charlotte ending...:P

Concluding, this has been a really entertaining OVA to watch and I suggest it to any Infinite Stratos fan and everyone looking for a refreshing comedy with beautiful girls to watch.
Now they only need to announce the second season to make me happy...
See you soon,
