Speaking of singing - is it safe to say that Aoi Yuuki's grown into an unironically good singer now? She was pretty rough in the first season and G, but I really really like what I heard of her in episode 1.

Symphogear is not a stupid show, but it is a show that generally responds to questions like that with "hey man don't sweat the details so much."

Sindai posted:I think I dropped the original Symphogear after one or two episodes and I have no idea why because Hibiki is now my favorite magical girl. https://twitter.com/SpiritusNoxSA/status/884544923420307456  Also, I really really really like the new ED. Seconding the hope for more Maria/Chris spotlight as we go forward. Also hope we take a bit of a break from the action sooner than later, these first two eps have been almost wall to wall punchyfists. drat good punchyfists, mind, but I like slice of life Symphogear too.

Clarste posted:Yes, I agree. If your villains each season are always just better than the previous season's villain, it devalues all the previous struggles. Keeping the heroes relatively strong makes it feel like they've actually kept their growth, and with good writing the villains can seem more intelligent too. Yeah. "Cliffhangers" like today's, with Hibiki or someone else streaking in with the cavalry to save someone else and goad the villains into Round Goddamn Two are almost always more fun to me than when the heroes receive a seemingly mortal blow like kept happening all the time in the first half of GX. I bet the illuminati beat a tactical retreat fairly early into the next ep - Bikki's heroics seemed genuinely unnerving to them and she's presumably got two more fresh and rested gears coming in right behind her. Would be a good opportunity for the show to transition into slower character building for an episode or so.

It would definitely make a certain amount of sense that, if this season is indeed going to go hard on revisiting Chris' baggage, the followup would lead back into Tsubasa's. That'd be pretty neat.

Darth Walrus posted:I was very glad when our heroines didn't have to blow up Saturn to get out of their latest mishap. The poor moon's already been hurt enough - let's not start on any other celestial bodies. Excuse me - Maria might have adopted some kids but I saw Tsubasa on one date in this episode, and it wasn't with Maria.  Fun episode, definitely feel like the new season is doing a better job than GX is of having the Gears and the villains trade blows instead of taking turns destroying each other, hope that continues. Curious to see what Adam's whole deal is.

The Linker issue is mildly annoying, but the B team hasn't really missed a fight I really wish they'd gotten yet, and it sure sounds like the Linker thing'll get dealt with sooner than later.

Kanos posted:I don't think they could give Miku a gear cooler than Shenshoujing, because that gear was rad as hell but it blew up. I'm honestly pretty meh on Shenshoujing itself. Especially in a non-villainous capacity - I don't think that design would suit a confident and mostly well-adjusted Miku at all. Give her a new gear, IMO.

^ - if we're going to start giving gears to boys, Genjuuro has first dibs. This isn't even a question.Kanos posted:A ranged, defensive gear with stealth and deployable mirrors that can deflect attacks and shoot noise and other stuff away from her allies from a distance is pretty Miku; I don't see her ever feeling right using something aggressive or melee-oriented because she's supposed to be the grounded, stable rock to Hibiki's fiery impetuousness, and Chris has pretty much every other ranged weapon on lock. Yeah, I don't really have a problem with the fighting style, just the design of the thing. Even aside from the big scary visor and the brain-jack in the back of her head, I'd like her to get something a little sleeker. Her halo was neat, but I didn't really like her big bulky leg armor.

Also apparently Adam and the Alchemists have telepathy and apparently that manifests itself as physical objects. So that phone in Ep 3 that looked like it appeared out of nowhere actually did appear out of nowhere. Neat (if weird) touch. ...Or maybe just an after the fact justification for a continuity error. The world may never know!

Couple interesting threads introduced in this ep. Adam will almost certainly be The True Evil manipulating the much more sympathetic alchemists. More curious to see how they handle Granpappy Kazanari. GX clearly wanted us to at least try to empathize with Daddy Kazanari, but Granpappy seems to be framed in altogether more sinister terms. Wonder precisely what that'll build up to.

Endorph posted:Apparnetly she did that on her own, actually. Her character bio on the website mentions that Adam basically ignores her and she wound up thinking that maybe he'd pay attention to her if she was in love with him, and if she had a romance she'd also be a 'person' instead of just a very specific device that he only needs once every couple hundred years. Ah, it's an allegory for a different type of unhealthy relationship then.

Phobophilia posted:the show basically called his generation a nazi collaborator, i dont think it likes him very much Oh, yeah, I wasn't thinking about it too hard but yeah he's old enough to have actually been involved with the whole "let's develop Symphogears for Hitler" thing Genjuuro and company get to kind of awkwardly shrug off, huh. Like I said, curious to see exactly what kind of confrontation we'll have with him, though. Will he be In On It with Adam and the Alchemists? Or will he be a 3rd faction? Or will Tsubasa just get to call the old man out? We'll see.

Doctor Ver will never die. He lives on in all of our hearts, making progressively sillier faces as he transcends any need to be even vaguely on-model. Also, I like how literally everything about Adam's design appears scientifically calibrated to make him appear as the biggest piece of poo poo there ever was. Also Also - I usually shrug at most of the design work on trash Noise, but I actually really love the design of the Yamata-No-Orochi looking one at the end.

I'm going to go out on a limb that the show whose lore consists of a feverish haze of conspiracy theories thrown into a big pot and boiled to perfection is going to imply some unkind things about the government of Japan/The UN.

I don't mind her being incompetent, I mind her just being kind of boring. Like even in fluff/comedy bits she doesn't have a very strong personality to go on. Hibiki's Pacifist Goku, Miku's In Love, Chris is an edgelord who's bad at being edgy, Tsubasa is A Sword, Kirika and Shirabe are adorable chuuni girlfriends, Maria is...just kind of huffy.

Really fun episode. Well-timed, too, after 6 was just kind of limp.

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.
