Lol, I think he was rattled about his 'Abe no Seimei grandson' complex again. Oooooh! Shounen Onmyouji!!! I love this! Masahiro and Mokkun are soooooo cute! I loved episode 5 not for the bloodiness but those flashbacks with Guren and the wittle baby Masahiro! Awwwwww!!! I thought the end of the episode was funny when Masahiro was having a temper tandrum (reason unknown to me) and he was throwing scrolls at Mokkun like mad! Hahaha!!! That's funny! Though the show does seem to have something against livestock :heh: It's solid fun and the voice acting is a treat. Somewhat better even than the 'actual' shounen offerings this season. However it should be said that the action is done rather well. I suspect as soon as some viewers see Masahiro and Guren holding hands they'll be out the door. However from the second, and certainly the third it's pretty obvious this has a female audience in mind. I think from the first ep viewers might be fooled into thinking this'll be a shounen show. If someone thinks this is a shounen anime just because there's action in it, then you are no more than fooling yourself, this is an anime based on a light novel thats published under a label for girls, yes a shoujo(girl's) light novel. The shoujo light novel (which this anime is based on) seems to be getting good reviews 4/5 stars. I remember when this anime got announced, I have seen lots of japanese fangirls (in blogs) going pretty excited about the news, and when a manga based on the light novel started also many japanese fangirls got excited.

No volumes are currently out of the manga. (NOT josei as I mentioned somewhere before :P )įor now there are 17 volumes released of this shoujo light novel.Ī manga based on the light novel is serialized in the manga magazine Beans Ace (which is according to the publisher is a magazine for males and females). Shounen Onmyouji is a light novel for girls. While the magazine The Beans is a female oriented novel magazine aimed at girls from their teens to women in their twenties.īut Shounen Onmyouji was only published under the Beans Bunko light novel label, which is a label published by Kadokawa Shoten and aimed at girls. Thus his busy school life surrounded by girls begins.Beans Bunko is a light novel label for girls.

Realizing the potential, Ichika is forced by the Japanese government to attend the prestigious Infinite Stratos Academy, an international academy where IS pilots from all over the world are trained. A 15 year old Japanese boy, named Ichika Orimura, is discovered to be capable of operating an IS.

The peace is shattered, however, by an unexpected discovery. Ten years after the first IS were introduced, the world has entered a new age of peace. As IS can only be operated by women, the power balance between men and women is broken, with women coming to dominate society over men. The introduction of the IS does however have a major effect on society. Faced with such an overpowering weapon, the nations of the world enact the “Alaska Treaty”, which states that IS will never be used for military combat and that existing IS technology must be equally distributed to all nations, to prevent any one nation for dominating the others. Possessing technology and combat capabilities far more advanced than any other weapon system, the IS threatens to destabilize the world. In the near future, a Japanese scientist engineers a powered exoskeleton called “Infinite Stratos” (IS).
