Every single member of his harem then appears out of thin-air and catches him in the act, screaming and assaulting him as the camera pans away.Įven from the very first episode, we know that a trainwreck awaits. His complete lack of understanding about human anatomy results in him fondling the girl. He closes his eyes, so embarrassed by female cleavage, thinking to himself that a measuring tape does not require eyes to see. Her response? "Pervert!"Īnother scene involves Ichika being forced to take body measurements of all the girls in the school (which every single one of them is happy about for some incomprehensible reason). Rather than simply tell Ichika the situation like any sensible person would, she convinces herself that lifting her skirt and directly showing him is the only way to get her point across. In the sixth episode, Charlotte finds herself in a situation where her panties have magically disappeared. Hell, this is awful even by the first season's standards.Īllow me to describe one of Infinite Stratos' most asinine scenes. You would need standards so low that they pass the Earth's core and leave the other side of the planet in order to appreciate this trash. It is everything wrong with the harem genre and the anime industryĪs a whole, assembled into one cretinous pile of filth. Even the absolute worst of the medium (from the infamous Mars of Destruction to the nonsensical Cipher) can at least be laughed at in their awfulness. I struggle to think of a single good thing to say when describing Infinite Stratos 2.
Maybe you'll feel dirty afterwards, but hey, at least you won't receive brain damage for it. An anime so insipid, so devoid of intelligent thought that a trip to the garbage can would likely yield something more interesting. 14.Infinite Stratos 2 is the anime equivalent of a lobotomy. “In New Goodall Program,” Retailing, December 23, 1940, p. “Antiques: Folk Art Makes Space for the Doodle,” New York Times, Octo This is the first work by Marguerita Mergentime to enter the museum’s collection.
Mergentime has long been noted for her American prints based on extensive research into the design heritage of the United States, which she recasts into a modern idiom,” Retailing wrote in December 1940. Spencerian Horses is one of a collection of six ensembles of drapery and bedspread prints Mergentime created for Goodall Worsted Decorative Fabrics Division. The horse also appeared on a tablecloth from her Folk Art collection of 1939, and on plates. This design was based on such a drawing in the artist’s collection. The script’s sweeping curves were the standard for American business documents from the 1850s to 1920s, as well as for elegant personal correspondence.įolk art was Mergentime’s other great love, and according to a 1988 New York Times article, “Many who mastered the swirled lines and swept curves of Spencerian script went on to adapt their cursive skills to drawing.” A unique folk art style called calligraphic drawing developed in the late 19th century, and frequently pictured birds and animals, in particular horses or carousel horses, with the addition of loops, curves, and spiraling embellishments. The “Spencerian” of the title refers to Spencerian script, a cursive writing style developed by Platt Rogers Spencer and promoted through his 1866 book, Spencerian Key to Practical Penmanship. Marguerita Mergentime is noted for her innovative use of text as a decorative element, and among her many sources of inspiration were books of calligraphy and penmanship.
