IMO this doesn’t belong in !animemes@ani.social. Try !anime@ani.social?

The issue with Infinite Stratos is that it’s part of a genre of near exact plot copies. It’s almost always a dude who is accepted into a magic/scifi academy and catches the attention of the flame princess and builds a harem. The MC is always somehow a special unique case.
Infinite Stratos
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
Academy Battle City Asterisk
Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle
The Testament of Sister New Devil
Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia
The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy
Absolute Duo
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Freezing
Myriad Colors Phantom World
World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman
Hundred
The list goes on.
Mashle.
I think Mashle is one of the rare ones that stand out from the genre, but yes. Soul Eater was another.
Who’s going around hating Infinite Stratos? I will find you and bonk you for hating on that precious combo of stupid, self-aware humour, yuri and mechs.
I really wish SAO was just consistently good thought. I cannot comprehend how you can move between fantastic and terrible so frequently. Like, Alicization started of amazing and then there was also the second half of it…
Yuri
Technically it was a harem
robottoaster@mander.xyz@mander.xyz 8 hours ago You should probably watch UC gundam.
Patlabor and dai-guard are also good mecha anime.

So a lot of mechas ? 😅
The only mecha anime I’ve watched and remember are Code Geass and Aldnoah Zero.
I liked Aldnoah Zero quite a bit personally… that is, I liked season 1.
They fucked up s2 by making it all about the hardware that the MC uses instead of his skill like in s1. They also ruined the last really impactful scene of season 1.

Not enough mecha anime gets produced nowadays. It’s pretty barren outside of Gundam every couple years.

TBF they dragged that horse for miles in the 90s.
