I assume that Phantom Task is the villainous group that was encountered at the end of Season 1, although it’s been so long that I can’t remember, and there’s no easy recap at the start of season 2 that would have helped. In between all the harem hi-jinks, there’s a bigger story about the Phantom Task group and their machinations. But there comes a point where the joke goes too far, it stops being funny, and you start yelling at the TV “For god’s sake man, will you grow a pair?!” That point comes a few episodes into Season 2, and from thereon, the harem comedy is more often greeted with a weary eye-roll rather than laughter.

Of course, he’d stop being the male otaku proxy character the minute he got laid, which would end the series pretty quickly, so he remains comfortably hands-off and oblivious to all the female attention that he gets. With all the women (two more in this season) throwing themselves at him, he never responds, other than to avert his eyes and apologise profusely.

In a world of milquetoast male characters in harem comedies, Ichika Orimura is the most neutered and sexless of them all. I may have mentioned this in the review for season 1, but it’s even more apparent here, where the action and the narrative seem clumsily tacked on to the usual awkward non-relationship antics. Conclusion Infinite Stratos would be a pretty decent harem comedy, replete with the usual fan service, if it weren’t for the pesky story, mecha suits and action sequences.
