| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well I can tell you that Chri’s Ichii-Bal mode being the second mode of the armour is nuts in the following,  Makes it my #1 Favourite Symphogear now. Those wings ! That HeavyArms texture whom Hoppy mentions and in general the appearance here. Put it this way in the list:
Best still stays at how the fight proceeded at the start. Despite Chris being badly hit here, her anger got worse. In fact I just loved that they did such a nice face of her anger here. A rather powerful regeneration that armour started in the spoiler Chris on the other hand gave me a nice heartwarming with the kids in the spoiler Tsubasa was nice to save Hibiki however I am surprised she could fight like that after her recovery was most not complete. The episode in regards was kick ass in the action/innovation with a calm before another Storm. Another great episode that I liked. About Tsubasa, she was Queen with her face here and how she landed with her big sword. A most marvellous sword work in the spoiler About the Fan Service, it’s definitely better and upped in the list
What happens after the credits blew me the heck out. First of all new Armour like Chris has except it’s gold, hmmmmmmmmmm if the one of Chris is Silver then it may explain things. Second of all more naked shit from her, well no surprise from her since she loves being as Nude as Mio is around in Ano Natsu De Matteru. The key shit here is that she does not want Chris anymore. Blond chick there ousted her with her own Noise monsters. Whom BTW the Staff of Solomon is a demon summoning stuff and that is what the noise should have been considered all along. It’s amazing how the author thinks demons don’t exist and in fact it’s more Alien races of what we may think of as demons. About Miku/Hibiki, it’ bad man! It feels like Game Over! Miku has gotten so cold it’s scary. In fact the last scene broke me emotionally! T_T Miku x Hibiki has gotten from bad to the worst shit ever. Totally not expected to go down so bad. A make up is in need. Less it happen the emotional state of Hibiki will not change and will be worst negatively speaking. With Miku running away, being gloomy and running away while crying in the spoiler  And what Miku says there? T_T Dong! Depression there! It’s really ironic that from the start she was crying and went through the whole interrogation and oath to not talk of any of this from the looks of here. At first the the place where they live is done fine. Miku reading this cat’s magazine kind made me wonder if she is getting a animal to replace Hibiki. She sure did not look cheerful at all with that face. In fact it was obvious that her angry face was bad news. I seriously would wish the times to comeback as cute they were in the pic here and worst of all it made Hibiki depressed. Miku/Hibiki’s friends in the spoiler On the other hand Hibiki had very interesting parts. I liked her expression here and most of all her saving grace here. Chris owns her. Despite the depression of Hibiki in the spoiler About Heine, I really want to know WTF is up with her in the spoiler About thee after credits, well Chris was MOE with her blushed face here complaining around but most of all her frustrations here were wonderful. I was kind of wondering what was up with Chris checking out her Relic here. Can it be that it stopped working? Well regardless Chris being angry here was great. Really nice. What really got me WTF is in the spoiler BTW Image Stitches are done in the spoiler GIFs are done in the BLOG: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=684243 Something pissed me off so I did as a GIF Heine’s transformation |

| Miku and Hibiki are ending their friendship. Chris Ichii-Bai is like Gundam Heavyarms in terms of weaponry. She may die or not next week her boss Heine is pretty much set to kill her with the symphogear that was taken away from her. |

Hoppy said: I hate that. Miku should not do this. Hibiki was just trying to protect her safety from knowing too much.Miku and Hibiki are ending their friendship. Hoppy said: When I think about it yeah but minus the crossbow. Good one, I did not think of it that way. I hope she does not die and just retreats. Explains the situation to Genjurou and let's rock! Plan in action and kick Heine's ass.Chris Ichii-Bai is like Gundam Heavyarms in terms of weaponry. She may die or not next week her boss Heine is pretty much set to kill her with the symphogear that was taken away from her. |
| Miku turning on Hibiki like that pissed me off. I was starting to like the show and even starting to think Hibiki was turning into a solid character. Then they pull that?!? Miku seemed always supportive and understanding. It seems so out of character that she wouldn't understand why Hibiki kept her alter ego a secret. So damn annoying. |
| I doubt it will stay like this a long time, it's not true that Miku want to break up with Hibiki, both were crying. Miku ran away. They probably will become friend again in the next episode, Hibiki can't fight becuase she thought she lose her best friends, got no will for that. This is what is going to happend in the next episode. Tsubasa will probably talk with Miku , try to comfort her about Hibiki. xD |

| Once again, dat english at the end. It's too bad about Miku and Hibiki. |
 |
geezer said: Just watched the subs, and now that I'm up to date with things...I don't think Miku is in the wrong here, it's just that her actions in this episode seem to contradict her patient behaviour in the previous episodes. Back then, she didn't know about Hibiki's job, she only knew that the latter was hiding something. And she tried her best to shrug it off with a smile and continued to pamper Hibiki. She should've gotten mad at Hibiki BEFORE she found out the truth. That's some amazingly inconsistent writing here, similar to Tsubasa's 180 degree change of personality. With bad writing like this, it's easy to get the impression that "Miku considers herself more important than the world". It's not just about inconsistent personality. Is stupid to hate someone for being dishonest when he was sworn secrecy by a top government agency that fights a war. Is not something you can mess around with and ignore their request for secrecy. BUT maybe all of us have Miku a little wrong. I mean she could play mad for a little but trying to cut their ties completely makes no sense. So maybe she just can't bare being her friend anymore not because she's angry for not knowing the truth but because that truth is scary for her since every-time Hibiki gets a call and runs away she may never come back again. So Miku might want to cut the ties with Hibiki because she's scared of the pain of losing her best friend and living in agony whether she will come back or not every time she leaves and not because she's actually mad about the secrets. Btw evil naked lady tries to kill Chris. I guess if she survives she will join the god guys. Ryoko continues to be shady and now obsessed with Hibiki. |
Monad said: That's exactly it. Miku essentially might be over anxious in all this but she has rights since her feelings for Hibiki are obviously more than friends.BUT maybe all of us have Miku a little wrong.

Monad said: Shady? HA! Ryoko is totally nuts of her with those pics. Those are only possible if you are obsessed with someone at a deep level. Some of these pics are plain just amazing for what had to be done in order to achieve taking it.Ryoko continues to be shady and now obsessed with Hibiki. |
| That was by far easily the best episode since start of the series. While smiliar to BRS, the drama here was actually believeable, hate it that Hibiki isn't doing more to apologise to Miku, it's only natural she doesn't want to listen to Hibiki but that's when Hibiki should get more forceful to do so. Tsubasa finally got her shit straight, about time, and Chris' is starting to do the same instead of blindly looking for Fine's acceptation. |

| This is turning into a story about friendship and it is very well done. |
| Series confirmed for shit. No one even watches it. Story is trainwreck. Animation is QUALITY at it's finest (look at moment when Hibiki run throught stairs.) |

So Miku might want to cut the ties with Hibiki because she's scared of the pain of losing her best friend and living in agony whether she will come back or not every time she leaves and not because she's actually mad about the secrets. Yep pretty much how I saw it after the scene prior to the credits, The way Miku said it didn't sound angry, but pained. Dunno about anyone else, but now I wish I hadn't watched this ep because it feels like someone drove a stake through my heart Q_Q, the last 1/4 of the ep was depressing to watch.... On the plus side Tsubasa is now properly confirmed to stop being bitchy....somehow I'm sensing if Miku doesnt make up with Hibiki soon she'll find she never will. Also hory shit Ryoko! she definitely seemed inclined towards Hibiki but full on stalker o.0 |
 |
| Ugh. Miku is so annoying now. I really liked her at first and the fact that she's all like "I can't be your friend because you were only protecting me and yourself by not telling me you were some fighting machine" Wtf And Ryoko...WHAT THE HELL!? Geez. She scares the crap out of me. I swear she's gonna end up killing Hibiki. Well I'm sure Hibiki and Miku will make up, but just because she's mad doesn't mean they should end their friendship -___- |
 |
| Miku is just having the initial shock period. Depending on what the special group told her, this may be influencing her decision as well. I am sure it will all work out in the end and Miku and Hibiki will be sleeping together in no time! Ryoko concerns me as well. I am almost certain she's a double agent and in reality a bad guy, her obsession with Hibiki could be very bad as well. |
 |
| Well chris has pretty much officially becomes the best character out there for me. They showed some of her good sides here and she would most probably be joining with the good guys if she's not dead by nx episode, but meh since she's one of the mains with symphogear she'll most likely be appearing to save tsubasa and hinbiki's ass when the time comes i suppose.. And chris definitely sings alot better than hibiki. That's for sure. |
on 
| This may have been the best episode so far. The action was good Chris' struggling brought some depth to her character. I'm sure she'll join Tsubasa and Hibiki's side after her master's' betrayal. Also, I'm sure Miku will come around sooner or later. She's just confused and shocked about everything and the fact Hibiki kept something this big from her. Hibiki kept it from her to not get her in danger and I think she'll understand once Hibiki explains it. The professor seems to be hiding something as well. She's not telling Hibiki everyting about the whole "fusing with the relic". She's trying to become known as the first professor who's managed to successfully do the experiment, for personal gain. |

prismheart said: This is turning into a story about friendship and it is very well done. I agree. This show just getting more interesting. |
 |
| Wow! What an incoherent mess. Lifeless, unsympathetic characters playing out a random, flailing plot. What a development -- we find out that Chris is conflicted. On the one hand, she's a nice person. On the other, she's a violent, psychopathic pacifist. And given how the most powerful, dangerous stuff doesn't seem to actually hurt anybody, Kanade must have been pitifully weak to have been taken out so easily. Offhand, this has to be the worst show of the season and its work is only half done. |
| wait 'till Miku join the villains . . . |
HalvorzN said: Why does every kid in these kinds of Animes have to be so freaking childish?! It's not like she really had a choice of telling her or not, or from another point of view she might just as well have told her, since she wouldn't have told anyone anyways. I also think that Hibiki should slap Miku and tell her to stop being a bitch about it. She's not even trying to defend herself! Going around mumbling "Im sorry" behind Mikus back won't help for shit. I swear, most of the Animes lately have been shit and are pissing me off. Still 3/5. Not like you can ensure you won't be doing the same thing, that is if there is two condition fufilled: 1. Something extraordinary really happen like this 2.If you have a true friend. |
| Good episode,Tsubasa sing again!! I liked the fight at the beginning Ichii-Bal my favorite symphogear so far,it was nice to see Tsubasa fight again and protecting Hibiki that shows how much has she change. I really like Chris i love how she helped those kids and show she has a good heart also she was fighting to stop the wars but she was being used by Heine. Miku breaking with Hibiki was sad but i dont think it will last,Miku is just running away trying to avoid the pain that what will happen if she lose Hibiki....i think Miku will be important next episode even a hostage wise. Heine...i like her! she looks great on that golden armor and she is bitchy also has that sexy english :) Lets see what next episode bring us! |
| there are two things that can be implied on Miku's behavior: 1. she's being too overdramatic, she's acting immature, and she is also not being a true friend if she does not know how to forgive.. she'll get over it soon anyway and they'd make up again.. OR 2. she's also being told by the authorities to avoid Tachibana Hibiki as much as possible.. Hibiki hid something from her once, she might've seen this one to be some sort of payback (this may or may not be just a subconscious thought, however).. she had to act like she hates her.. but from her tears at the end of this ep, it can be seen that she's having a difficulty about it.. she might disclose it to her soon anyway and they'd make up again to create more drama.. (they may also not make up in either situation and it would create even more drama and regret on Miku's part if the foreshadowing at the start of ep 1 would be true) #2 is the usual thing that happens in these situations in these kinds of stories.. assuming that this 2nd implication is correct, no matter how cliche it also sounds, they've done a good job by misleading mostly everyone watching in an earlier episode such as this.. of course, #1 still holds ground and everyone's reactions to this dilemma could be just right.. |

| I hope Chris joins Hibiki and Tsubasa. I also hope that Mikua and Hibiki make up soon. |
| That English...-_- |
| I don't get what Miku is getting mad for with Hibiki not telling her about that. I mean, she was also specifically told by those guys that IT MUST BE KEPT A SECRET FROM ANYONE ELSE. And Hibiki just followed that since the show started. |
 |
| How sad yet still truly wonderful (^.^) A broken mind is a dangerous mind and hopefully Hibiki will stay that way for a while at least. Disregard all those feelings of "friendship" with the enemy, protection and personal safety. I just want to see her berserk. wreak havoc and bring massive destruction to everything and all =D Just love it when supposedly good characters go haywire so that would be a great turn of events^^ |

Hoppy said: Miku and Hibiki are ending their friendship. . Oh come on will that girl just get over it or what their fragile is that fragile !! |
 |
| Miku knowing about Hibiki might make her a liability or a target for Hibiki. That's why she probably was told to stay away from her. |
 |
| Ugh. Overly sappy dramatic characters like Miku are the worst. |
 |
| the heavyarms custom rip off scene is really what stood out from this whole episode for me. i dig the whole mecha girl/jpop concert thing this show has going for it but on an individual episode basis this didn't do a whole lot for me |
 |
| So her name is Chris!She is an interesting character... Miku is making too much of a fuss.I mean yes,hibiki is at fault but it is just because she wants to save her thats why she did all that & kept her mouth shut...& yet she is going as far as quitting friendship... |
 |
| What the heck was Ryoko babbling about? Also, anyone else noticed that Heine and Ryoko both have butterflies? Ryoko with her mug... CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. Guess they are sisters doing things their own way to achieve their similiar goal... |

| Hibiki can just dump Miku and make Chris as her new Yuri friend. |
| Manly fucking tears. ;_; Mikuuuu~ |

| Gatling guns are always a + in my book. Was happy to see Evil Naked Chick put on some clothes. They were pretty awesome clothes too. Engrish, once again, had me rolling in my chair. I hope someone puts a collection of all the English lines in a video so I can replay those moments over and over. >D Interested to see what happens next. Pretty sure this Hibiki/Miku thing will resolve itself in some sappy fashion. A hug, more tears, blah blah. Then someone will die. Well, at least I hope so. |
| I love the character development in this show!! Everyone's evolving and showing different parts of themselves to quickly~!♥ The English parts though, OMG, COULD YOU GET ANY WORSE?!X'D Please for the sake of symphogear Fine, stick to Japanese!!xD I love how Miku's trying to be a badass while reading her book entitled, 'Cats' also~xD But all the ques are obvious, and I completely understand why she says she can't be friends with Hibiki anymore~~ AMORE~~~!(♥ó㉨<)ﾉ♡ |

In Guilty Crown's defence, I consider it a fall show.not as big of a mess as guilty crown... The dumb things that happen in Guilty Crown are legion. What with the constant 90 degree plot twists, the sullen viciousness of all the characters (excepting Ayase and peculiarly, Inori), the really lame dialogue, the convenient changes in behaviour, Ayase's defective wheelchair, the fake enemies, the resurrected character, the melodramatic fighting… I could go on for a while listing its faults (and that's just for one episode). But the artwork is mostly good, there are a couple of characters that seem decent (not many), people sometimes die when they get shot, and some of the characters, some of the time, seem to understand their situation — think Arisa when she wonders if Shuu is going to kill her for her treachery. Symphogear hasn't really had real enemies yet. Just anonymous, mostly irrelevant noise. And while she dresses well, Finé hasn't impressed so far. The artwork isn't very good, neither in design, nor in execution. And what's the point in having miniguns, FFARs, or BFG-9000s, if nobody ever gets hurt when you unload on them at point blank range? While Tsubasa, after most of a season of being miserable, has been showing signs of becoming a decent character, she's pretty lonely right now. I'm afraid that I dropped it after this episode. |
Magito said: Hibiki can just dump Miku and make Chris as her new Yuri friend. I agree with this lol. Nice episode, a lot of story development. Next episode Chris might join Hibiki? |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I can't believe that other girl would end a friendship over something like that. Oh well, they are little girls they don't understand priorities and classified information. |
| KK Chris just tied Tsubasa as my favorite character in this anime. It was great to see her in her normal clothes and interacting with the kids rather than fight all the time. Though I do love her Ichii-Bal/ Symphogear form. Cmon let her change side and work with Tsubasa / Hibiki. Yeah sounds to me like Miku is being told that she can't be friends with Hibiki anymore. And Ryoko's obbession with Hibiki and stuff just confirmed her to be Fine (or at least someone working with her). |

| haha annoying mc girl got DUMPED. that one loser girls armor had some cool guns. and the evil bitch was naked some more randomly. |
