I am a fan of the one on the left. I am guessing she is Saint Germaine?

And here I was thinking she isn't chuuni enough. Looking smug as heck, though.

Also yeah, season 1 gets a bit weird early on, but the later seasons don't have that sort of thing so much.

So Tsubasa is cheating on Chris with Maria? And while Chris is busy being a single mother, to boot. Shameful.

G has some great cliffhangers, but the one in this stretch of episodes where Hibiki punches a noise before even transforming and subsequently lets Dr. Ver know that he's come to the wrong motherfucking neighborhood is one of the best I've seen in terms of getting me psyched for the next episode.

It also had the rad opening to the ED playing over it, making it even better.

I agree and it should come with a cool splash screen!!!

It's cooler that it doesn't.

Also you should watch at least the first 6 minutes of GX even if you aren't going to start on GX as a whole tonight.

Honestly, I felt it's a good thing the good guys got comparatively less screen time devoted to them and their myriad issues since that meant the bad guy symphogear user chucklefucks got more screen time and we got to focus on their myriad issues instead.

It's the one thing that really made the third season my least favorite. By that point the main cast of symphogear users is already pretty big and it seemed like the staff decided that each one gets an equal amount of screen time and character exploration/development, leading to things feeling pretty thin and rushed. Also meant any side character not named Miku barely existed and I assume it's why they decided to make the bad guy squad boring robot people that are totally okay to murder, because they wouldn't have the time to flesh them out either.

Did you just call Garie boring?

Endorph mentioned back when I was first watching G, and I'd have to agree, that it would have been really cool if when Hibiki gets her arm bitten off, she doesn't get it back from magical Symphogear bullshit but instead gets a robo arm instead. Would give the event more lasting weight and also look rad as hell.

I'll agree on that as well. Either robot arm or just not getting it back at all would've been cooler.

Didn't Elfnein and Carol like body merge at the end of GX. Carol was a pretty messed up kid so y'know some of that might have come through.

It's been a while but I think Carol is still separate, just she burned up all her remaining memories to save Elfnein. I could well be misremembering, though.

If you're resorting to exaggeratingy point, then there's nothing left the say. It's not a matter of purity. It's just bad fan subbing.

But if you want a better example of how bad at this they are, there's the infamous time they tried to convince everyone that "eoten" was a real word.

Look at this guy, doesn't even know what an eoten is. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Are those banana Noise (spoiler for maybe new Noise designs? I dunno) new or did I just miss them in earlier seasons? Because they were loving hilarious.

Pretty sure they're new, because South America.

Also the first half of the episode was like they played the first level of Revengeance and were like "Hold my beer."

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.

Is Maria's apparent particle cannon new or did she have that in GX? I forget. Either way, her symphogear attacks are rising up the cool list, though Chris is still at the top.

Having just watched the specials last night, I'm hoping this season is more focused on Maria and Chris, which seems likely so far. I'm liking Maria's really varied attacks as well.

I also like how the super secret ultimate weapon they found already broke in the episode its abilities were revealed. Also that the symphogears are a very credible threat to the alchemists from the get go, so both sides are gonna have to power up somehow, they'll have to outplay each other, or both.

Symphogear has always done a good job of showing the villains actually struggling rather than just kind of losing for no real reason. Fine had trouble getting past Genjurou, the G villains were on the back foot the entire time, and even when Carol initially wiped the floor with the symphogears she was paying a lot to do it and got wrecked by the turnaround powerup. Really only the autoscorers were a misstep.

I finished watching the first season. Unusual choice to have the protagonist of a magical girl show start off married but I can respect that. It was super great when absolutely everyone else failed to stop Durandal from driving Hibiki berserk and then Miku takes care of it with one word. :3:

Miku is extremely powerful you don't even know.
