| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Very explosive start! That new girl looks like evil Kanade. I notice Hibiki never gets a name card. Also did Kirsu's bust get bigger?? |
[center] |
| What a song in the beginning...I got this bitter taste of sadness. The other song was decent though. TRANSFORMATION. Oh I miss this. So I can tell this series decides not to waste time at all for its first episode. Dat action.  Oh and I like some of these new idols. Pretty :3 |
 |
| Yes, the singing returns in full force! I know it's cold, but I got a small kick when they vacuumed up the ashes. I pictured Wakamoto doing his "CYCLONE". |
 |
| Damn this episode turned out spectacular from start to finish. Hibiki's song is so bad it's good and coupled with the awesome battle with her and Chris, it made for a very good experience. It also seems both have quite the ability upgrades especially Chris who has both new and her old abilities. Chris is also mellowed down a little making her a lot better character not that she wasn't good last season. The duet with Tsubasa and Maria was just epic and they looked and sung like goddesses and whoa she also can use Grungir like Hibiki, that's a shock. I sure wished Tsubasa and Maria fought this episode though. 5/5 |
 |
| Better than first season in almost every aspect is my first impression. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Look's promising with action packed scenes from almost the get go. I have been waiting for this to come out for quite awhile. Hopefully has plot all the way through till the end |
 |
| Well, i sure missed this show. Since the first episode was so powerful, I have high expectations for this season. |
 |
| I was amazed when i saw this in the summer line up didn't think it would ever get a S2 but i guess this sold well mainly because of the music? Was not a big fan of S1 was a let down to me though this seems like a step up in the right direction,still not jumping the gun yet first season had a pretty crazy first episode and then it went down hill won't lie girl at the start with her bleeding eyes scared the shit out me. |
 |
| Ok good old Symphogear is back - bizzare plot, monsters that look weird (ok they were actually ALMOST intimidating but than came sound they made while dying... but it was fun), anime reference girl and overall clumsiness. They were using vacuum cleaner to gather the bodies?! |
Dalek-baka said: They were using vacuum cleaner to gather the bodies?! It's better than the old broom and dustpan, at least all the tiny bits stay together =P |
| I'm really glad this anime got a S2 I wasn't sure if it would. |
 "There are three things you can never get back: The word after it's said, the moment after it's missed, and the time after it's gone." -Koe no Katachi  |
| I thought the last season would have killed off the series, guess not. Glad to see a S2 of this. Fingers cross for more Genjuro action. |
| Why must I make myself suffer so. |
| I'm glad to hear Nana Mizuki voice again, she is a great singer and do a good job as seiyuu as well. I haven't seen her being part in anime series for a while. Everything start good. I don't know what to say :) |

bastek66 said: Can't wait for subs  And thats mai tsundere waifu there <3 so much HHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGG! Everything was better than season 1. The quality was evidently miles better than season 1. I love that they played so much different songs for the 1st episode and thats making me happy for future episodes. Loving each and every song. The new transformation scenes look awesome though they forgot to add in Chris's one which im sad about. The new attacks all look fabulous. Still loving Chris ones though im just biased. That mega punch thingy that Hibiki had was cool though. The visuals of TsubasaXMaria concert look stunning and their songs basically made them goddesses. Shocked to see a black gungnir. Also, their groups call "Fine"? as in the previous seasons antagonist? Cant wait for the next episode, been waiting for this episode since they first announced it and i can say i wasnt disappointed too much (would have been perfect with Chris's transformation scene). ^Me too XD |

| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| this turn out way better than I expected! hope they could keep up with the effort! but damn it's unfair! where is my Chris's transformation?! admittedly she had the skills scenes.. :/ Chris x Hibiki became surprisingly viable :3 oh poor miku.. |
| This was twice as hilarious and clueless as the first season ever got. Glad to see they're realising the show's strengths. |
 |
| what the heck is tsubasa doing though oh my god I'm glad this is finally airing |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| Finding out that Symphogear got a second season & Oda Nobuna still hasn't, has ruined my day. |
| Loved the concert scene. Looks a lot better than the first season, now it actually looks good enough to be a style of substance show. |
     |
| They went straight for the series strengths quite clearly, though there were some missteps when they had to pull the obligatory "explanations" for those who hadn't seen the previous season. Excellent music, excellent visuals, and maintaining that completely nonsensical (in a self-deprecating way) attitude. Also, since no one's suggested it yet: Remember how our main villian from last season came into being? While not expecting dark symphogear, I was expecting her to show up again in some way, and that would certainly explain the "Fine" declaration. I'd be more surprised if she had nothing to do with this whatsoever. The only thing that would surprise me more is that scientist guy not being a traitor. |
| It seems this show is a specialist of epic firsts episodes. |
 |
| I'm a huge Symphogearfag, and I just marathoned the 1st season for the 4th time in preparation for the new season. I gotta say that while this episode was really nice, it was a bit lacking compared to the first season, I guess it was mostly because of the fact they kind of rushed to show everyone again, AND introduce the new bad guys and (sub?)plot. Also, the music concert really didn't have an impact on me on the same level Kanade and Tsubasa's show did. That was the shit. I'm pretty sure that just like the first season, this is gonna turn more and more AWESOME by the minute. Can't wait for next week. |
| "Wha...wai---We don't have time for this you idiot!" CHRIIIIIIIS <333 She wants Hibiki so bad. 99.9% sure that white haired guy is the new super main baddie. Seriously? They had to call themselves Fine? ._. Wasn't Gungnir Kanade's Symphogear? So now there are two people with it? ._. Maria's obviously going to become a friend later. And Tsubasa will want to have awesome Tsundere sex with her because she'll be reminded of Kanade. Also, Hibiki's singing sucks. Tsubasa's will forever be the best because Nana Mizuki is a goddess. And that concert was f*cking awesome. Great episode. |
| Oh my Chris is so cute when she is in embarrassed |
 |
| I just loved the episode. It literally had my eyes stuck to the screen from beginning to end. The songs were great( especially the tsubasa and maria concert) and it had suspense at the end.Though the song at the beginning was kind of creepy. And who knew that somebody else would have a gungnir fragment. I can't wait for the next episode. |

I mean come on, if they already could control the noise where have they been for the past decade or whatever? If they needed one of the descendants, why wait? why not just grab yourself several and put them to work? As for that bit that did make sense. The gears they use are fragments, therefore it's conceivable that one artefact could give rise to several gear fragments over time. |
| 1/5 Regret watching after 2 minutes. If it wasn't my policy to watch at least one episode for something new, I would not have put myself through this torture. Apparently, this is a second season... I guess there are fans for any kinds of anime... |
| Definitely better than Season 1 so far and the duet between Maria (Yoko Hikasa) and Tsubasa (Nana Mizuki) was great. The season is doing a great job playing to its strength...the music and visuals, especially during that concert scene. And for those who are wondering, the single with the full duet is going to be released on the 17th |

(Also known on other places as Hiss13) All hail the adorable chess master! |
| 5/5. No need to argue there. |
| I was waiting for this series! :D and praying that it is better than the first I do think the art improved, and the songs are as good as always! Chris is so cute :3 seeing her and Hibiki work together was nice~ I laughed when they were going to see Tsubasa's show but then more noise showed up xD And tsuuubassaaa :DD singing with Maria is so good *A* but it's ironic how she's singing a duet with her enemy xD I can't wait for Tsubasa to get her Symphogear and fight with Maria. And I also want to see the OP <3 |

| I like the new enemy. So pretty. I hope that her and Tsubasa have a nice "Fo Yay" situation going on soon enough. :3 |
| So glad this got a s2 and it started off great. hope they can keep the good action/music coming. |
 |
| Youko Hikasa and Nana Mizuki singing together is epic in my book. Both the concert and the battles are epic! Its the first episode and its already a blast! This is going to be fun ride once again after more than a year of waiting. |

| The best trainwreck returns and it's better than ever before. Wonderful first episode. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| It's back and it's better than the first season I think this anime will be even greater in the future |

And that concert was f*cking awesome. Great episode. Hibiki's singing is amazing, you're crazy. Aoi Yuuki is wonderful. The way I remember it, Hibiki only received a shard of the Gungnir, so this may explain why there's 2 people with it now. |
 |
| If I recall the first episode of the prequel was decent as well....fingers crossed bc I personally felt the last installment was a challenge to sit through. Overall the presentation is better though thus far. |
