All goofy SoL sketch-comedy bits with some surprisingly good character beats throughout. It's Symphogear by way of Hidamari Sketch.

You should definitely watch season 2 (Symphogear G) when you get a chance! It's my favorite of the three by a pretty considerable margin.

Yeah, I feel like when Symphogear stumbles it's usually less due to actively bad ideas of where to take the story and more a matter of either allocating their time in an odd way or leaning a little too far out there with the tone. Fine's redemption is a fine idea that doesn't entirely get as much time as it needs to breathe. Fine torturing and exploiting Chris, even in a rather sexualized context, actually isn't a terrible idea IMO considering how Fine's whole thing is kind of a perversion of Hibiki's desire to reach out and connect with someone - but the camera's too leery and the whole thing is a little too hot to make entirely work. G is noticeably better on both fronts, IMO, while GX has pacing issues but is probably still better than Season 1 in terms of tone and delivery.

Also Chris is a more interesting character than Maria and most Chris/Tsubasa fanworks I've seen make Chris a mix of flustered and angry that I find really endearing.

Pretty much the only thing I really want from more Symphogear is for it to lean harder on character moments than GX did, honestly. Which makes what we've heard about AXZ starting slower and more SOL-y than previous season sound pretty nice to me.

Eela6 posted:I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop on Genjuuro and I'm so much happier it never did. He's just a cool dude who likes action movies and teaching important life lessons, like how to punch giant boulders. I love the bit in S1 where Hibiki asks "Hey Genjuuro can you teach me kung fu?" and Genjuuro basically just looks at her for a minute, strokes his goatee, smiles, and goes "Oh, I can teach you kung fu."

SyntheticPolygon posted:Wow. Tsubasa picked the absolute worst way to handle this, huh? 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.

Endorph posted:I don't think that was the resolution to her arc, at all. Yeah. In particular, I don't see where you get the impression that Hibiki has a death wish. Self worth issues, sure, but I never got the impression that she didn't plan on making it back from a fight. I thought GX actually quietly did a solid job of showing Hibiki being more cognizant of and responsive to Miku worrying about her.

Yeah, Hibiki's dad didn't really get as much time as he probably needed, but I never thought the message was "This lovely person is actually good." I read it as "this lovely person still matters and reconcilliation/redemption is still worth pursuing." Seems like a very Hibiki sort of beat to me.

Eela6 posted:Just finished GX. I agree that the season felt way too compressed. They needed less action scenes & fewer highlight characters. Yeah, I feel like they could stand to pick, say, 3 or four characters among the main protagonists and say "Okay, these are our focuses for this season" and let everyone else play support while those core few get the major development.

Lessail posted:I kinda miss Hibiki being a symphogear human hybrid, but am glad they did something definitive about it. 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.

Yeah it's really weird. Especially since, as I understand it, usually when crunchy doesn't subtitle songs it's because of a licensing issue. Don't think that's the problem with Symphogear, unless it's found a way to run into licensing trouble on its own songs.

Darth Walrus posted:Slightly disappointed that Chris's weapon is so old-school, actually. It seems like more of a Tsubasa thing, especially now that she's starting to drift away from being Sword Girl. The way I see it, 1.) the bow's bound to be a supeer-lethal, one shot max-damage sort of deal and 2.) I like to think Tsubasa's rubbing off on her.

Kanos posted:It's actually a kind of interesting aspect of the show that after Ryoko revealed herself as Fine and turned against them, the protagonists haven't really had anyone who understands jack poo poo about how the gears actually function or how to maintain, modify, or repair them in any meaningful way. Until Elfnein showed up they were pretty much just crossing their fingers and hoping everything kept working. To be fair, isn't there only like a month or a couple of months between the end of S1 and the start of GX? They weren't flying blind for that long, especially considering that the end of G was the end of the Noise problem till GX introduced the Alca-noise, IIRC.

I liked the premiere a lot. Looks like Chris might be getting a bit more focus this time around, which would be nice. The action is definitely as strong as the series has ever been.
