I've never been happier to be owned so hard by wishing a show would do something and then the show does exactly what I wanted it to do and it's absolutely amazing.

I swear the staff has a list of things that fans have requested and are just using it to plot this season

GX had a great seasonal cast that was mostly not utilized super well so I'm glad they got/are getting a second chance.

Countdown to Shirabe manifesting the weird energy barrier stuff again.

Elfnein is heckin' cute. The Autoscorers are heckin' cute.

I'm glad I caught up so I can talk about how cute the show is (in between the buckets of blood)

I kinda of figured Miku would of got her Mobage gear this way but it still sucks. But Carol and Elfnein best team
Also Symmetrical docking is back baby

Chris had better have just a straight up gundam by the end of this season.

Also villain trio just can't catch a break, huh. Everyone clowns on them in a fight, they try to go up against maybe the strongest individual in the series, and Fuudou naturally betrays them. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they just die off screen. And I'm glad Carol is back and chilled out a bit and will probably return later. Now we just need Fine to make an appearance somehow.

I know, jesus christ. This would have been a finale fight in the other seasons.

I absolutely love how Carol is still just an unstoppable final boss in terms of power. "How did you escape our labyrinth?" "Yeah, uh, I'm still the alchemist who literally carved the planet into its component pieces before that got fixed, guys."

Noble Red being the most pathetic squad of villains makes them oddly endearing. No antagonist organization in Symphogear, not even FiS from G, has ever seemed so utterly outclassed and completely screwed.

Noble Red has a weird dynamic in that you want them to lose to Symphogears cause they have been totally evil to them but you still want them to come out okay in the end or help beat the bad guy cause they are such under dogs

Yeah, like you always believed that Maria or Kirika or Shirabe could go one on one with one of the A-team gears and, if not *win*, at least hold out for a while. All three of Noble Red's members just get dunked on any time they get into anything even vaguely resembling a fair fight.

I really expect this to get wrapped up in 2 episodes given the original one only last 2 episodes and this season has had a brisk pace and also heck yeah everyone needs to beat up Fudou

feel like shem-ha!miku should've been the final villain instead of, like, the penultimate (maybe even pen-penultimate) one. like, where do you go from the protagonist fighting a literal god possessing their best friend from Season 1?

Gramps is going to be the final villain, as he's driving this whole mess.

Though who the gently caress knows, all the stops are being pulled out.

i suppose it is only fair that if the heroes can pull miracles out of their rear end then the villain gets to have plans that can never be stopped but i am still mad

I know. What I'm saying is that it's kind of lame that he's (probably) going to be the ultimate villain, given that he only became a major player this season.

Fudou's been an rear end from the start though and everyone really wanted him to be taken down a peg

This seems like setup so Miku and Hibiki can deliver a combination attack with a display of friendship so platonic that it gets banned for obscenity in several countries.

i mean this is how every symphogear season goes, you mentioned ver and dunked on or undunked on he still accomplished every single goal he had, the protagonists just went 'lol no' and beat up nephilim and then miku threw the cane of solomon 1000000 yards into the air. fine activated the tower of babel, carol activated the chateau, etc. every season has the villain accomplish all their goals until the very end when the protags make everything okay by singing. this season is doing the same thing
