Man, that was great. The action seems to be a lot better this season! I'm excited to see what they do with Chris this season.

The new dress uniforms with the color coded ties are pretty sweet.

Still hoping crunchyroll will pick this up but the rando subs were passable. At least it's not the literal translation commie gave us for seasons 1 and 2.

Animation looked really nice. Whoo! Symphogears team up with the Globalists to gently caress up South American Nazis.

So I'm guessing we'll eventually get these three on board as our next wave of recruits? They're not the heads of their (clearly very evil) organisation, and they were introduced disintegrating the leadership of a murderous dictatorship, so it seems we've got leeway here by Symphogear standards.

So did no-one ever, like, watch Ver or Ryoko make the drugs they kept injecting people with? I mean, for a while Ver was doing it in jail.

Doubt it. For one thing they're not geahs, for another I don't think anyone else will be joining the crew. They might or might not get redeemed or turn good at some point but I don't think they'll turn into recurring characters like FIS or Elf.

IIRC the website backstory snippets for them have them as crazed evil male alchemists who were transmuted into immortal girl bodies or something to allow them to continue their research/service to THE ILLUMINATI, so they don't really have the "emotionally distraught young girl forced by circumstance to do bad things and thus redeemable" flag like Chris, the FIS girls, and Carol.

Plus I think that any more regular cast members would just lead to pacing problems like GX's becoming even more pronounced.

Commie just put out ep 1 if you wanted subs with better typesetting. Not sure if they subbed the songs.

Maria has finally completed her evolution into a soccer mom. She drives an actual van.

Soon she will be showing up ahead of missions with orange slices and bottled water for everyone.

We can only hope. She's seamlessly moved from fussing over Kirika and Shirabe to fussing over everyone and everything.

my favorite is how the bios basically say they were both near-irredeemable crooks as dudes, but they changed completely after having their wishes granted. makes u think

I actually really liked Maria this episode. She's a lot more fun when she's not locked in the same pity party over and over.

A bit rude to criticize Aunt Chris when she left the kids with her to go off stalking Tsubasa.

It's not Maria's fault she got drafted into the Secret Service as her community service for being a terrorist.

Maria mommed Tsubasa in GX, so their overall status in the group doesn't protect her from her mom-ness.

She also mommed Elfnein. Maria is constantly a Mom.

Speaking of singing - is it safe to say that Aoi Yuuki's grown into an unironically good singer now? She was pretty rough in the first season and G, but I really really like what I heard of her in episode 1.

I really liked her first season and G songs, but she's definitely matured. It's not surprising, since her vocal range is pretty incredible.

I gotta say I am loving that Minako Kotobuki gets to sing here. The character CD announcement that was only the six main Gear users getting releases caused me to worry a little, but I'm glad that there's at least the baddies' song. She's got a good amount of power to her voice and to have her in this series without letting her sing would've been a huge waste.

Before we had any hint of what the staff wanted to do with AXZ this month, right when the Illuminati were announced with voices and no context as to how important they were, I read "Rina Hidaka", oddly remembered she voiced a character who sings in Star Driver and went "yup, they're going to make these bad guys sing."

Star Driver owned. Symphogear owns.

I started rewatching the series as a result, and boy howdy I forgot how much of a creeper Ryouko was to Hibiki as well. And the part where Genjurou defeats Tsubasa's largest sword with one punch.
