Misuse. It only applies to self-insert OC fanfic characters. Tatenashi is a canon character, so therefore it never applies to her.


** Tatenashi. You either find her the best girl in the series for her CoolBigSis tendencies and [[TheTease flirting toward Ichika]], or just a stupid Mary Sue. No middle ground!

* CrazyIsCool: Tabane Shinonono. A DitzyGenius who has created the IS in the first place, (presumably) programmed about 2000+ [=ICBMs=] to launch towards Japan (just to give her creation a stellar debut), and (supposedly) took control of an "unmanned" IS just to let her younger sister debut as a personal IS user on her birthday. Doubles as a subtle ActorAllusion, considering that she shares her seiyuu with [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha]]. When Tabane unveiled the IS to the world, she got a lot of ridicule and criticism. So what did she do? She [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriended]] them via mass ICBM launch.

* SecondSeasonDownfall: There are quite a few who feel the second season is far inferior to the first. Part of it is probably because a good 90% of the second season has been focused on wacky harem antics, with very little time devoted to advancing a plot or even having awesome mech battles (which was, you know, ''[[JustHereForGodzilla the one thing]]'' that distinguished this series from other harem shows). While it's true the first season had a pretty weak main plot too, it at least managed to strike a pretty even balance between harem hijinks and IS action, which cannot be said for the second season. Basically, the second season ''doesn't have enough StuffBlowingUp.''

** Then there's "Neutron Star" for Ichika, due to his [[CluelessChickMagnet romance-related cluelessness]] which rivals even [[LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} Natsuru Senou]].
** Some people call this series as "Country Wars" because it reminds them of [[LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao Color Wars.]]

* BetterThanCanon:
** The ending of the spin-off manga ''IS: Sugar & Honey'' which definitively pairs up Ichika and Charlotte, has been declared this by the fans who kept up with it.
** Some have this opinion of the Yuuki Homura manga as it adds in details from later volumes, downplays the heavy tsuntsun and harem antics and to spice it up, arguably the best designed versions of characters with some {{Fanservice}} (particularly the Charlotte gender reveal scene)

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope

It's a harem series. It's not a plot tumor taking over the rest of the plot, the romance is the main plot.


* RomanticPlotTumor: A terrorist organization? Tabane's disappearance? The Orimura siblings' mysterious origins? Nope, forget about all that. Let's focus on Ichika's love problems because they are a lot more important.

* FanNickname:
** Honne Nohotoke gained the nickname "Pikachu-chan", due to her unusual beach costume in season 1 episode 9.
** Then there's "Neutron Star" for Ichika, due to his [[CluelessChickMagnet romance-related cluelessness]] which rivals even [[LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} Natsuru Senou]].
** Some people call this series as "Country Wars" because it reminds them of [[LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao Color Wars.]]
** A large number of people simply like to refer to the girls by the country they represent. Cecilia and Bri-tan is the most original it can get.
** A lesser but still well-known nickname coined by /a/ would be [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Ichika And The Jelly Factory.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Jelly in this case would mean [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous.]][[/labelnote]]
** Invoking JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant, detractors call this "limit of successful works", meaning that if a work did not surpass IS's BD sale number(33,813), it cannot be considered successful.
** Some fans referred to the anime's second season as ''Infinite Stratos 2: [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo Electric Boogaloo]]''.

* FanPreferredCouple:
** Charlotte/Ichika. Many fans argue that it would be refreshing for a harem hero to end up with a sweet, gentle and kind girl rather than yet ''another'' violent, domineering, inconsiderate, selfish and emotionally insincere tyrant (which is unfortunately EVERY other girl in the harem, at least at first) for a change. There's even a spin-off manga where Charlotte is promoted to being the main character and the two are more or less an OfficialCouple.

FanficFuel: War, politic, social shift... the potential is limitless, and three point above is rarely addressed in the canon source (except small clues here and there) despite it was said the introduction of titular PoweredArmor [[InformedAbility more than few things changed]], leaving the gap for the fic writers to explore. It was not rare to find the sheer difference of atmosphere in I.S. fanfic as the result, from RomanticComedy[=/=]{{Shipping}} to GrimDark WarFic, despite the [[SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove tiny size of the fanbase]].

* SoOkayItsAverage: YMMV of course, but the show really doesn't break any ground with the Harem tropes.
** If Amazon reviews are any indication, the Japanese audience feels the same way: most of the novels fall squarely in the 2 - 2.5 star range.

** Houki is another one. For some, she is one of the best girls of the show with an adorable personality and produces funny scenes with Ichika. Others just despise her saying she is just a generic {{tsundere}}, and believe that the author is trying to make her look good at the cost of degrading the other girls' characters.
