You know, I would actually be fine with this scene if Hibiki had just ducked under the shell and then kicked/punched it into the air, but as-is this is really loving dumb. She blocks a contact detonation shell by... pressing on the shell cap. Yeah no, that just causes the shell to explode early.

Let alone somehow getting snuck up on by a Sturmtiger.

Over-the-top absurdity is fine and great in Symphogear, but that way too mundane to be over-the-top. Over-the-top would have been her suplexing it back into the tank, not just generically blocking the shell and tossing it, so I stand by my statement. :colbert:

Running before The Ancient Magus' Bride is an exclusive first look at Children of Ether, Crunchyroll's first ever original.

My backlog is too crazy to get on board right now, but out of curiosity is this a sequential series where I have to start from the first Symphogear, or are they PreCure-ish standalones?

You need to start from the first one. Also everything else on your backlog is less important.

Nothing standalone in Symphogear. Season 2 wouldn't make sense if you hadn't started from the beginning let alone season 4. Also, season 1 is my favourite Symphogear so it's very worth watching, even if animation wise it's way below the rest of the series.

The first two seasons are awesome, and the 2nd season introduces Tomokazu Sugita voicing Doctor John Wayne Vercingetorix, a bona-fide ACTION HERO, Motherfucker! :patriot:

You have to start with the first but each season is only 13 eps.

Oh, 13 x 3 isn't bad at all. It certainly looks interesting from the gifs.

Be warned that the thread is open season on spoilers, so you might want to avoid it to go in clean, but it's always fun to see new people's journey through Symphogear.

Huh. I thought otherwise, though apparently I missed something because I don't know what you mean with the already covered content. I loved the pacing in the first episode, and while I enjoyed the second it wasn't as much. There were a couple gags repeated a little too much for me.

it was adapted before in the 90's, and that version had a much slower pace compared to the currently airing one.

Ahhh. Gotcha.

Edit: The only anime I watched in the 90s was some of the Rurouni Kenshin my sister borrowed and the random anime video channels Winamp had. I only remember Trigun and Van Helsing from the latter, and not well.
Edit Edit: poo poo, Hellsing wasn't the 90s. The others were, though.

The original version spent one episode on the beginning, one episode at the castle, and half of the third episode on the first battle.

Huh, I don't recall the character in the top left, but I guess the people who picked up the translations are just behind. Should be good, though.
