----------------------------------------
Well, they didn't waste much time getting right to the action. Rocket, songs, and all together at once. I was watching this with some loud volume and this was pretty intense. Not a single minute of non stop action for the first half.

Tachibana still has her edge along with Chris and Tsubasa. My favorite moment for the episode is probably Tachibana and Maria's duo performance.

Overall, it was fun. Not expecting too much from the story but it's entertaining start so far. Got a bad feeling about some of the antagonists introduced so far though, in particular the one with the kiss of death.

Holy... That was intensifying.

Believe in justice and fuck nature's shit up.
5/5 for Ep.01, this is going to be a fun summer.

All the Magic makes me kinda wish Tamura Yukari did CV for Carol Malus Dienheim, though.

Symphogear series never failed to amuse me, and they are evolving in an (good) intensive way.

The first six minutes just made me LOLed, the live scene was as good as the previous ones, and they never wasted any time to get to the cliffhanger.

There's at least one series I'll follow to the end in this season.

50/10 for EP.1

Well, I mean, they blast K2 into K3 to save a space shuttle, spend estimated 50% of their total budgets on a live scene, and throw our heroine immediately into crisis, can you ask more?

This was freaking awesome!

I mean the first 5 minutes....that was truly hilarious and awesome at the same time. Fire them into space, then ride Chris fired rockets to the shuttle, then slowing it down, blasting up mountains, and Hibiki tossing the shuttle over a building....that was good.

The whole thing was just a really good first episode and makes me feel all the anticipation for this season has been deserved.

Great first episode.

Tsubasa and Maria's new song was awesome!
It's completely different from Flugel of 1st season and Flamme of 2nd season though.
I'm sure they're now good partners with each other.

I'm glad that it had some daily scenes of Hibiki, Miku, Chris and other friends including Kirika and Shirabe.
I loved embarrassed Chris's "Do it home" She always gets flushed when she sees public display of yuri affection!

So... if the girl Hibiki meets at the end is an alchemist, that makes those other chicks homunculus right?

And she must have made the Philosopher's Stone as well, since it would seem she's been alive since the Witch Trials.

It's kind of interesting that we're not dealing with the Noise this season, but at the same time I feel like that literally makes this a cow-milking season for the sake of money. It feels like this season will be completely removed from the rest of the series unless they make some parallels between our new antagonists and Fine.

My body was not ready.

The jump in quality has jumped exponentially, almost like all that money they make off the soundtrack for this show is in it.

So let's see...
+Chris x Tsubasa going strong, especially that "handling me" and "wild ride" bit.
+Epic opening sequence that made me go batshit crazy.
+Yukine being Yukine.
+Epic duet concert.
+Epic new battle songs.
+Animation quality so through the roof I wonder if they wasted their entire season's budget.

Seriously, they have perfected what began in season 1. The way that the song is synced with the episode and when they talk is insane. When Tsubasa talks, she does it right after she finishes her lyric, while Hibiki is talking, it's Chris and Tsubasa singing. This show has evolved from a loveable, self-aware bad show into sheer fucking epicness.

∞/10

Thank you Symphogear, thank you.

As ridiculous as expected after the downward spiral that was the second season (and the end of the first), but at least the songs are good this time, unlike the completely forgettable ones in G.

Tsukasa has been riding Yukine I see ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hopefully dogy style ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That mountain destruction, that shuttle flip, that upper arm twist, that fire fighter save, that concert, that cliffhanger.
There needs to be a 6/5 option :'(

The Tsukasa fight was the same as with Maria last season :( but atleast it continues next week, needs more sword fighting.

Symphogear just keeps getting better and better (I loved last 2 seasons). I think that box is probably Pandora's Box. I mean trying to capture a girl with a weird box and then calling for the Apocalypse....

PS. I wonder if the supposed god inside the Moon is still relevant

Sympogear, after watching from season to season, became charming in its own way. It started mediocre then became mildly entertaining. I view Symphogear as the same as Dog Days: generic series with entertaining execution that are pleasant to watch.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Wow what an opening!!

Just finished G 2 days ago so my memory for the series is still fresh as ever! :)

So Nastaaja's body lives on after the fall of frontier? The people who tried to rescue her dock, seems to have malfunction and that's why they can't control their descend speed?

Chris finally calls Tsubasa Senpai once more!!

Wow did they really cut off that mountain's height!?! Surprise it didn't erupted or something :O

Looks like Kris and Shirabe can live as a normal student. but Maria is stuck being an idol till she has repented her sins :(

They're new song rocks, but i kinda like the S2's Fushichou no Flamme more.

Looks like they're enemies maybe of different time?!?! Where the hell do they find these relics from!?!? Fine?? Sorcery!?!

Lots of amazing action!! Godly OST and new gorgeous songs!!!!

Still waiting on Maria's White Symphogear(miss her black though)!

Transformation seems to be getting better and better!!!

Wish they add some animation in some of their ED's. This happened in Episode 1 of S1 and S2. Just black credit screen with the OP playing on the background.

Kinda weird i watched both seasons in BD and i did noticed blur in the TV version. Still animation still intense as ever :D

Also ordered Mizuki Nana's Exterminate Album. Love Nana-chan :) Gonna be an amazing season for sure!

Can't wait for the next episode :D

A little weird without the Noise though... That shuttle scene might have been ridiculous, but when all 3 started singing there... chills!

After the way season 2 started... people forgave Maria? Oh who cares... awesome performance!

Well, this was EXPLOSIVE and outrageous. If Jeremy Clarkson were to make an anime, surely it would be something close to Symphogear.

Speaking of which, I noticed Tanaka Rie's name in the credits. I can't quite read the kanji but she has something to do with the music. Is this the same Tanaka Rie the seiyuu? Exact same kanji afterall.

From the information now, they are two different personal with the same name.
They have been listed in the same anime as well. (CANNAN, Rinne no Raguranje)

But because almost all info of the music Rie is "unknown", they could easily be one person.
