I meant music, but it's cool to know that she was Lan Fan in FMA-Brotherhood!



PS, what is everyone's favorite song per character?

For me, it's probably:

Hibiki G-Beat (GX)
Tsubasa Gekkou No Ken (G)
Chris Makiyuu Ichiaval (S1)
Maria Ressou Gungnir (G)
Shirabe Melodious Moonlight (AZX)
Kirika Gokuren Igalima (G)

wrt Nana Mizuki singing this is basically classic her (and the song has been covered endlessly by everyone else and their moms)

I like Symphogear season 1's OP Synchrogazer. It sounds like the kind of project that only the Elements Garden music group and Nana could pull off with how much energy is packed in.

She's been in a lot of stuff. She's kind of doing her Tsubasa voice in FMA: Brotherhood, though her character is more supporting than main. Fate in Nanoha was her first big role and a lot of Symphogear is clearly born of Nana Mizuki going 'let's make a show that's kinda like nanoha' but Nanoha was so long ago that her voice is pretty different in that. Plus Fate is like 13 for the first two seasons.

I think the closest matching role Nana Mizuki voices where she's being a sharp sword is as Saya from Blood-C but Blood-C is not an anime for everyone

New Episode was extremely entertaining. That said I really hope Cags isn't permanently dead, and I REALLY hope Prelati doesn't follow suit. I feel like the show's handled them well enough as characters, but killing them both off would be...unfortunate.

Yet I don't feel bad. The Alchemist Trio has done a lot of lovely things and murdered a lot of people. I am shocked Adam has not pointed out St Germain's hypocrisy about being mad about sacrificing Prelati or Cagliostro when they have sacrificed tons of other people.

Isn't that the first time the symphogears have straight up killed a human in combat? I doubt it's going to stick.

Haven't like half of the Symphogears? Chris, Maria, Kirika/Shirabe all sicced Noise on people before joining the team. Plus a literal half of Elfnein. Plus Hibiki was willing to let Fine off easy. The only people who've gotten straight up killed up until now are the Autoscorers, who don't really count since they're all artificial and also boring assholes.

I'm still reasonably hopeful that we get Cags rolling in to save Prelati and/or Saint Germain from Adam before this is done.

Speaking of whom, I must say that I'm rather impressed at how literally everything they've shown us about Adam is Literally The Worst.

I don't think Chris, Maria, Kirika and Shirabe actully killed anyone. (Well Maria did but they were soldiers that came to kill her, and she felt guilty about it from what I remember.) Carol is dead for all intents and purposes. Elfnein has her body but the memory and personalty is all Elfnein.

Maria definitely killed some people late in G. Chris is also indirectly responsible for the lives lost by the Noise she released; her activating Solomon's Cane in her backstory led to the attack on the concert, and everything after.

Thats what I said. She killed soliders that came and attacked her at that meeting. Then felt bad about it later on from what I remember.

Given that Prelati has mainly been the most violent, unhinged member of the alchemist trio, I wouldn't give her much of a life expectancy even if Saint-Germain isn't forced to sacrifice her. Cagliostro came across as significantly more moral and stable, but still fell into the Autoscorer territory of 'too gleefully murderous to live'. I reckon that the only villain with a half-decent chance of coming out the other side of this season alive is Saint-German herself, and even then, it's not a guarantee. I suppose there's a vague chance S-G can make backups of her friends, but, well, Elfnein hasn't brought back the Autoscorers yet.

They can't change their past but they can CHANGE THE FUTURE

I loved that so much

Ed: gently caress it I loved this whole episode so much. I like that Symphogear isn't afraid to sing as loud as it can.

Oh wow that was mean. I hope Shirabe somehow realizes that's her grandfather. :smith:

I guess we actually are late enough in the season for the alchemists to die, but somehow it doesn't feel that way. Maybe because this is the first season I haven't watched back to back.

Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
Most importantly, there are 5 episodes left this season, and we have no songs from the 5 alchemists other than their chanting at the start yet.

I still think this is going into season 5 with Adam as the main villain.

Haha, this episode was ridiculous

*has flashback of explosion*
"Well, I-"
*extremely similar explosion happens FUCKIN IMMEDIATELY*

I'm really having trouble picking my favorite moment from this one. There was some serious high-quality action in there. Hell, even the Alcanoise were shown doing something rather than just standing around. CHANGE THE FUTURE is great. Everybody standing around dumbfounded while Cagliostro just casually tosses a magic time-out thingie right at their loving feet is great. "It can't be... the Power of Love?!" is great.
Okay, I guess Genjuro owning everyone to teach them the power of teamwork wins.

Actually they're screwing up the plan right now. Adam wants them to stay alive so that he can kill them.

Lol. That was actually a typo, but I'll definitely take it.

Also these deaths seem too "cheap" and hurried for the buildup. I hope that's not it for them.
