Ugh, why do you copy me?

Edit: @Below: Where's Source:, Studio:, Resources: on MAL? Not to mention the same exact number of hyphens (3). Those things that I mentioned look strangely similar to the Infinite Stratos thread.

Oh, I've been watching this, Arch. I pretty much watch everything every season except for generic mahou shoujo and yaoi stuff.

I don't really like Dalian over the other loli characters this season. She is way too arrogant and abrasive, even for the usual tsundere. The Lieutenant is awesome though. Not only is he smart, he is really capable in combat, enough to survive through supernatural attacks.

This from the guy with the 2 or 3 Victorica sig sets?

Victorique was not as bad, and she was first. Dalian is almost like a bad copy of her.

All of Victorique's harsh remarks towards Kujou were warranted. Dalian is complaining about every single thing to a guy who is much better in intellect and physical prowess than Kujou.

I finally finished this at the fourth try...

It just got way too slow as it went on and they never presented any actual answers to why and how everything was developing as it did.
