I've been playing it in fits and starts as other things come on and off the backlog, but yeah, NepNep isn't high art or anything but it's goofy and fun enough.

Finished this show on my way back from work today. It was really good, thought the ending was particularly strong.

Watched episode 9 of GX to celebrate New Symphogear Day.

I like that Miku isn't pressuring Hibiki too hard about her Dad. She and the audience both know that it'd probably be healthier in the long term (and that it's probably inevitable) for Hibiki to forgive him, but he's also genuinely and seriously wronged Hibiki, and Hibiki really shouldn't have any particular reason to move past that at any pace but her own, particularly when BadDad blew his first second chance in such spectacular fashion. Show also continues to do a nice job of balancing Hibiki's improved ability to open up to and rely on Miku and pals -"If I have all of you, I don't need him," which is true enough, IMO- but only to a point - see her inability to look Miku in the eye when she says that, and her unwillingness to continue that conversation.

Gah. "My sword is a philosophical weapon. It destroys anything that you can define as a sword!" We're already intimately aware of the fact that Tsubasa has an unhealthy fascination with viewing herself as a sword, show, this is getting a bit too ham-handed.

I do like that Tsubasa's dad hasn't cleaned her room since she left. Nice bit of relatively subtle and ambiguous characterization - did he leave her room as it was out of sentimentality or out of indifference? Kinda wish they didn't spell it out later in the episode.

Uhm. TsubasaGrandDad. That's gross.

Also is this the first long chat Tsubasa and Maria have had...ever? I was expecting a lot more of this, considering how popular a pairing they seem to be. As it stands Tsubasa has way more chemistry with Chris.

Maria's new song is way better than Tsubasa's. Aaaaand it's over.

Maaaan. There's SOMETHING here with Tsubasa and her dad, but it really needed more time. Aaaaaaagh that slow first half of the season...

The ignited version of Tsubasa's song, meanwhile, is MUCH better than the basic version.

Coin-Lady Autscorer has the best fighting style. It amuses me.

Tsubasa's finisher here loving owns.

The way we're chewing through the Autoscorers here, I feel like they're gonna get revived for the finale or something.

VEEEEEEEEEEERRR!!! YOU BEAUTIFUL MELTY-FACED MAN!!!

Oh, hey, post-credits. Frankly, I'm kind of stunned Hibiki hadn't ALREADY deleted BadDad from her phone considering how hard she went out of her way to avoid talking or thinking about him before this.


Good episode. Still Symphogear, also still GX. Gonna finish it out over the weekend.

once you're done with symphogear, remember to experience the writer's earlier, best work



What is that literary masterpiece called?

it's kind of badly translated but wild arms 1 is short and decent, though it suffers from a party dynamic that's sort of muted by having a silent lead character. wild arms 2 is amazing but, its translation is among the worst for any ps1 game ever

i would actually seriously recommend giving the games a look though, especially wild arms 3, which has a solid translation and is a story about a girl who decides to become a badass desert wanderer and ends up forming a band of rowdy cowboys with shotguns, sniper rifles and smgs and also the power of magic and summoning ancient spirits who fight bad guys. you can get it on psn if you have a ps4

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that the Symphogear writer did Wild Arms. I might give 3 a look at some point!

I think I only ever played a bit of 4 waaaaaay back in the day. I think it was 4, anyway - it was the one everyone seems to dislike and also seems to revolve entirely around pitting Good Children vs Evil Adults.

There's actually some cute callbacks to Wild Arms in Symphogear. Like the gag in S1 when the Tower of Balal shows up and one of the FIS agents googles it and says 'I just get guides for old RPGs I've never heard of!", because the bonus dungeon in the wild arms series was also called the tower of balal.

Hah.

I should rewatch S1 once I finish GX. I'm kind of curious to see how much my current opinion that GX is the worst of the 3 has to do with how much higher my expectations were coming off of G.

Symphogear is gloriously over-the-top and earnest even when it gets kind of stupid and I love it to death.

Speaking of goofy but earnest poo poo, finally got around to finishing Altera's story in Fate/Extella. This game's writing isn't amazing, but it's a far sight better than I would at all expect from a Fate/Musou thing.

I'm through three eps of Hyouka. It's kind of a hard show to read so far, I'm curious where they're planning to take it. The stream I'm using is super low res so I can't really appreciate it the KyoAni visuals, but they would be pretty nice otherwise I think.

Seriously, I'm having difficulty comprehending the experience of watching Hyouka without being able to fully appreciate the art design.
