It's the day after the first episode of the season climax aired, where's the discussion thread?
>Adam is a dirty NINGYOU, probably made by custodians >Fudou is getting ready to use "THAT" >Elfnein is actually upgrading the pendants and not slacking >Saint Germain is actually kind of cool even with her dumb helmet >I TRUST HANASAKU YUUKI >Tiki a shit but an entertaining shit >LANCE OF LONGINUS DATTO?! >Power of God decides to NTR Adam >Hibiki goes full Wild Arms and somehow turns into Mother instead of Lord Blazer >Miku got 10 frames of animation instead of 0
Better than G and much better than GX. Symphogear's quality is directly proportional to how much screentime Miku is given.
Dylan Jones
Mediocre. Alchemists were a mistake.
Kayden Cooper
Who's the artist? Can't read moon.
John Stewart
> where's the discussion thread No subs yet.
Hunter Phillips
So this gets a second cour now?
Leo Morgan

Mason Rogers
Season 5 was confirmed a long time ago user.
Jose Walker
I still feel that it's fucking stupid that Gungnir turns out to have the same properties as the Lance of Longinus. And this is an anime series known for its stupid twists.
Nathan James
>Two pure souls >One of them is Hibiki, because god's power can only enter soul which doesn't have the original sin
Place your bets Sup Forums, Elf9, SG or Maria?
Jaxson Martinez
It's the law of conservation of spears
Adrian Evans
Gungnir is the spear that was used as the Lance of Longinus.
Benjamin Brooks
Tiki, while transforming into a giant Lamia monster, did still keep her conscience and was able to decouple at will at the end. So why would the consequences for Hibiki be different? What speaks against her just exiting the chrysalis in literal God mode, but otherwise unchanged. Then the Custodians arrive and the gears use Airgetlam's special ability to distribute the God powers between all the gears and they use "God Drive" to fight Custodians for the next 2 episodes.
Isaiah Brooks

Jordan White
Mikugeah's power was cleansing impurities. Mikue also got nuked by it. She's coming back.
Aiden Anderson
I love the retarded things that can happen because of how "philosophical armaments" work. The tutankhamun one from 3.5 makes a lot more sense than this gungnir twist, but I like the creativity in this one.
Ryan Martinez
>Hibiki just pops out of the cocoon next episode and she's fine, but she has god powers and is constantly glowing now >remainder of the season is SoL hijinks with her being clumsy with her new powers
Elijah Turner
that actually makes way too much sense as an explanation for why Bikki could get god's powers. Pretty sure she's had too many MRI scans to be a secret autoscorer.
Did >two pure souls get mentioned this episode by adam or something?
Alexander Gonzalez
Custodians implemented the Curse of Balal to defeat the humans because they couldn't combat the human's ability to create philosophical armament out of their joint belief. The Curse of Balal shattered that unity of thought and allowed the Custodians to win. With the advent of new techologies though the world is close to breaking the Curse of Balal on its own and thus Philosophical Armaments are returning.
Kevin Miller
That Adam is modelled after Michael Jackson is now obvious. Only zombies can remove their own arm to be wielded as a cudgel with their other arm.
Jackson Myers
>we might get Ignited Beef Stroganoff after all
Cooper Sanchez
Can someone explain to me what on earth is the philosophical armaments? Are they synonymous with Geahs?
Aiden Jackson
Basically people are able to imbue objects with power by simply believing it has power.
Asher Kelly
Check the image I posted. It's one of the keywords.
The original sin part was mentioned by Germain.
Isaiah Perry
I think it means their powers come from people's beliefs about them >Gungnir has the powers of 'piercing gods' because people interpreted it as the Lance of Longinus in the symphoverse >Tutankhamun's mask curses people because people believed in Tutankhamun's Curse
On the other hand, there's Philia's Sword Breaker which just works against anything that is considered a sword and doesn't seem to come from people's belief's about it. So idk.
Symphogear is just all over the place. S1 was about the power of communication, S2 was about the power of love, S3 was about alchemy, S4 is about beliefs.
I wish it is still as simple as "Noise are bad, go kill them".
Jackson Lopez
For the non moon reader user, yes, Bikki still has her consciousness.
Tyler Campbell
It's Miku user Hibiki is pure because Miku blasted her with an evil cleansing beam. I really hope they use that explanation. So is everyone hoping Germain lives, I mean she doesn't sing so she won't take up that much screentime she can just stay in the lab with Elfnein and when the shit goes down she can go full Bayonetta on somebody.
Robert Davis
> I wish it is still as simple as "Noise are bad, go kill them". You can't really do that in the industry past Madoka. Unless it's edgy and really insecure about really being just ryona, it won't fly.
Wyatt Peterson
Phara believed it could break swords and she told Tsubasa that it could and since Tsubasa was still being "I'm a sword" she believed her and so it worked against her until she became a wing
Christopher Flores
Why do clan Kazanari has so much power over S.O.N.G? You would have thought that no single country should have that much power over this international organization, let alone a single clan.
Gavin Turner
They basically formed the 2nd Division which S.O.N.G is in all but name
Jaxson Reed
Yea that entire episode was stupid as fuck, at least Tsubasa is finally over her Sakimori phase.
Asher Parker
I miss Kanade
Alexander Robinson
I miss Sugita

This is your protagonist for tonight
Jackson Thompson
10/10 ending, even better than S1
Michael Clark
>living cow creeps out of the pot
Henry Roberts
I sure hope not everything is gonna be heiki hecchara 2 minutes into the next episode
Nolan Garcia
G > S1 > AXZ > * >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GX
* = any generic mahou shoujo
Oliver Long
I think fixing this mess will take most of next episode, but no longer that. It's not a Symphogear ending without the group song and that means there's a finaler boss than Hibiki.
Ian Garcia
>there's a finaler boss than Hibiki But who? She already killed a god.
Jason Thomas
>G > S1
Parker Brooks
I'm hoping that the twist is that Hibiki pops out stronger than ever and fucks up Adam instantly. Then the real Custodians arrive just in time for the next cliffhanger.
Jayden Wood
God's bigger brother is gonna come to beat up whoever bullied his otouto and stole his powers.
Brayden Wood
That was one god. Just prod the custodians enough and the big boys will come down. Or maybe Fudou or Adam can still fuck things up somehow.
Eli Mitchell
I go nuts for MikuBikki material, so I'm slightly biased.
Ryan Roberts
Is "hibiki fists miku" a thing in Japan? I want art of it.
Gabriel Perry
Clones user. This is the perfect opportunity to have some Hibiki vs the god power which took the form of her for reasons and wants to fake her over, then when the others show up to the cocoon it spits out guardians based on Hibiki's memories which makes clones on everyone and noise for padding.
Camden Hill
It's true though.
I go nuts for Hibiki being so hot she sets fire to stuff that touches her.
Grayson Brown
Whoa, what exactly is the context here? It straight up looks like they're kissing in bed.
Alexander Adams
It's the people who joined symphogear at G, and want more empty cliffhangers and huge threads.
Blake Peterson
I miss BlackBikki
Andrew Bell
i miss S1
Evan Price
Just a bit below S1. I really wish the plot was better in AZX, it's abysmal really
Lucas Peterson
Disgusting
Jaxon Flores
Will season 5 be about Philosophical Armament wielders?
Cameron Hughes
>{
Elijah Rogers
I gave up on livewatching it, was pretty lame until last episode.
>Maria gets basically two episodes for development and backstory >Kills the hype the season had. >Shirabe gets her own episode for delevopment >Dull episode that gives everyone a bad feeling on the rest of the season. >Kirika gets around 5 minutes of focus >Shows off that she's a better and more interesting character than the other two. Why are the blondes of this series so great maybe they would have written Maria better if they had kept her blonde like they thought about doing in one of her prototypes.
Luke Price
>Shirabe gets her own episode for delevopment >Dull episode that gives everyone a bad feeling on the rest of the season. Literally never, fuck off.
Jackson Cruz
Don't forget Chris' boyfriend arc.
Leo James
That semen demon Biki form is actually canon?
Matthew Baker
He's NOT her fucking boyfriend
Ethan Price
Thanks user.
>those granblue art wew
Isaac Morales
Yes, he is.
Bentley Martinez
Transfer student episode with Anime-chan soon?
Isaiah Jones
Nah, she's going to be the new teacher.
Hudson Garcia
Maybe she can teach Elfnein how not to suck at alchemy.
Aaron Mitchell
I said teacher, not miracle worker.
John Lewis
...
Justin Powell
But she's older than Maria!
Chase Price
Wish that big version had the heart-pupils in this one.
Chase Gutierrez
Her body is forever young though.
David James
Blame the writters, who only let Hibiki do important things and don't give a shit about the other characters. Kirika was cool for 5 seconds, then they ditched her for Hibiki, like always
Juan Watson
>the main character is more important than the other characters Wow!
Jeremiah Brown
easily rectified
Owen Cruz
"X character can do it cause she is the protagonist" is crappy writting. Hibiki just keeps pulling more powers out of her ass each season, that's retarded.
Hudson Cook
What power did she pull out of her ass? What power does she have that has no explanation other than "can do it cause she is the protagonist"?
Aaron Price
Thanks! You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Zachary Morgan
The power to kill Gods for example.
David Sanchez
That's a property of Gungnir that it gained due to people's belief.
It's not unexplained and it's not Hibiki's power either.
Austin Adams
Hibiki is still the only one with that power because she's the protagonist, no one gives a fuck about the explanation.
Easton Carter
And no one beside you gives a fuck about the fact that Maria doesn't get all the attention in the anime
David Ross
>miracle worker
Asher Fisher
>God Bikki revives the 70 gorillon Germain killed
Mason Price
Fuck that, she should revive Kanade, Serena and Ver.
