Yeah, didn't the promo material basically say that Vanessa was completely in over her head?

So I've been playing God Eater 3, and I have to ask - how much cross-pollination is there between that franchise and Symphogear? Because it feels extremely Symphogear.

Definitely getting the impression that Millaarc has nominated herself as her team's designated war criminal. She feels like she's decided that she's definitely a monster, but her friends don't have to be.

Nanoha StrikerS (which was a significant inspiration for Symphogear) also does it.

You know, thinking about this season so far, it's really bold of an anime made in 2019 to have the primary antagonist be quite literally an ultra-radical Japanese nationalist/militarist. It's absolutely not a new theme in anime but it's rarely so on the nose.

I liked how that one scientist in the lab Noble Red raided did that big mad-scientist rant about how it was the American dream to murder gods, and it placed him firmly on the side of the good guys.

Agree with everyone on there being too many main characters for a franchise with one cour seasons.

But more importantly, did that guy actually say "show me the end of the world" while looking at Chris's butt and if so, why

He clearly believes that Chris has a world-tier end, and hell,

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 would assume Tsubasa has to factor in somewhere, but I sure can't figure out how

Not ruling out that her creepy dad is going to try bodyjacking her.

Given we just had Rayearth in Nanoha and Symphogear have to be included in a SRW sok right?!?

Rayearth is just a more shoujo Dunbine. It's not off the beaten track in the same way, that, say, Cowboy Bebop is.

Hibiki wants her girlfriend back.

Yesterday.

But she's still going to grab Chris inappropriately in the meantime.

That and we've got a dangling plot point of "the villain is an immortal memetic virus corrupting all of humanity" and Shenshojing's entire thing is purifying things, so....

Hibiki and Miku are going to do a Unison, and it will be one of the gayest scenes ever animated.

There have actually been a couple of shows with on-screen gay kisses that weren't overtly advertised as yuri. Bodacious Space Pirates and Sword Art Online Alternative come to mind.
