Synopsis
Second season of Infinite Stratos.
Audience Consensus
Infinite Stratos 2 is largely considered a disappointing sequel that doubles down on the negative aspects of the first season. Critics cite a weak, fan-service-heavy plot, poor character development, and an unlikeable protagonist. While some appreciate the animation and occasional comedic moments, the overall sentiment is that the series fails to deliver a compelling narrative or meaningful character arcs, resulting in a generally negative reception.

Weaknesses
- Poorly written story with little plot and muddled serious drama.
- Over-reliance on fan service at the expense of plot development.
- Ichika is an insipid and dense protagonist, lacking character development.
- Female characters are poorly developed and reduced to harem tropes.
- Comedy is haphazard and relies on tired gags.
- New characters are poorly integrated and lack depth.
- Plot execution is flawed, with forced and unnecessary cut scenes.
