Infinite Stratos

[Just4fun]

Well there was never any offical announcement that he has abandon the Infinite Startos series. There was previsous statments that the next volume is ready but was not published because of the incindent with Media Factory . Most likely there a disagreement with who publish the next novel. Until that resolved, the series with be in a standstill.

All we can do now is to wait....

...Looks like it's coming back...finally...what could be next? As for the new novel...I hope it'll be as interesting as IS.

[Zero2001]

What's the chances it'll be a harem? 100%, by my opinion.

I mean "Afterschool Battlefield"? That completely sounds full of girls with guns or the like.

[Arcanum]

If "Afterschool Battlefield" would be like that, I hope the protagonist would be as interesting as Ichika. Similar, even.

His density towards girls is so amazing, which is one of the reasons why I find him interesting as a protagonist.

Seriously, that guy rocks.

[woah~]

does the sound remind u of angel beats?

[charlotte forever!]

But it is true that izuru is continuing to write the novel light???
Do you have any news???
and with regard to season 2, I read this news:
From "TBS Anime Festa 2012".
There is a something movement!
They say "Wait for further news!".
Movie? or season 2? "I don't know".

Just a FYI for the editors/typesetters of IS (if there's anyone actually still working on it since it's been 'finished' for so long...), IS 6 has a few oddies:

* Most of the links have their colour set to black, which makes them rather impossible to distinguish against the rest of the text. If you don't know what "IS Academy" is, you're not going to know you can click the link to find out if it doesn't look like a link. I know the sheer amount of links makes them stand out a little too prominently in the first few pages, but, like I said, there's no use to them if people dont' know they're there.

* The centered "diamond" shapes that are used to separate sections are set to 200% font-size rather then 150% font-size like the other books.

* There are a lot of footnotes, probably about 50% of which are not really all that, well, informative/useful. On a single page the following are footnoted: "sports bra", "shiatsu", "lymphatic massage", "piano", "violin", "rhythm", "tempo"; shiatsu and lymphatic massage make perfect sense since they're not something most people will know, and I guess "sports bra" tentatively has a use (though honestly I can't imagine any male or female older then 12 or 13 who's reading this doesn't know what one of them is, or what it's purpose is...), but piano/violin should be obvious and in the event rhythm/tempo isn't known, it doesn't affect the understanding of that section anyway.

(Sorry if it feels like I'm belaboring the point/nit picking, but someone's gone to a heck of a lot of work to try to make things look good with all the center-span-diamonds and divs-with-arrows-flowcharts, the blacked-out links to try to make paragraphs look less... vibrantly blue, and so on, so things like this stand out much more then usual. )

* Also there's some inconsistency where footnotes are used vs where direct links are. For example there's text like "higher social class" directly linked to Upper_class in wikipedia (creating a large blue chunk of text...) but most other instances just footnote it, then send the user off to wikipedia via a link in the footnotes that way. The later method is probably better since it's a little less obtrusive.

Anyway, I''ll take my web-dev hat off and get back to prodding code.

Yeah i just remembered when you said it...

The last I heard from a very small announcement a couple of months ago by Izuru, was that IS Vol. 8 (not to be confused with the new series release) was supposedly being released by another publisher in September. September's over now, anyone heard anything about it?
