I loved the episode, Ko X Rin in my opinion is a better ship than Aoba x Ko. It just Rin is so adorable (Kayanon did a good job). The Umiko x Nenecchi really didn't really stand out until now but overall it was a good episode. Visuals were really nice.

I have a feeling HorribleSubs will pick it up once it starts airing officially.

That aside, Hifumi is still too perfect. <3

You and me both buddy. Umiko x Nenechi hadn't really occurred to me during S1 a whole lot, but this episode nearly sold me on it already. Then we have
Ko x Aoba which has been a consistent shipping for me, but also a guilty one because I don't want poor Rin and Hifumi to be alone.


EXACTLY, man. I've been trying to avoid these Ko x Aoba thoughts for so long. Probably my guiltiest feelings for any pairing in any series.

I have to return to the Ko x Rin bookmarks to keep myself grounded as if I'm taking medication. I can't forsake this beautiful married couple.





Plus I want my pure hedgehog-loving angel Hifumi to be happy.

Yes same, Rin and Ko are just wonderful together, and Hifumi is too pure to be left alone, she needs the hedgehog look-alike Aoba to stay by her side.

I thank you for the nice pics~

I just saw it as it was finally uploaded to kissanime today, but the subs they used were total shit. They were so bad that I was able to follow the story of the episode through common sense, but most of the jokes totally fell flat, the ending made no sense, and it was a headache to watch. Can someone please explain how the episode ended (and also another source for the show just in case kissanime screws up episode 2 too)

Glad to see this back, one of my favorites from last year.

Fansubs were just god awful, will have to watch again with proper subs.

The guy who subbed it released a fixed ver, claimed the 1st ver was a "joke".
I watched it and it seems to be ok now, though you can just wait for cr or doki.

New Game is back for its second season and the first episode was very good. It reminded me of how much I enjoyed watching season 1 back last summer. =)

The visuals remain very colourful and detailed and the characters interactions were fantastic as usual, mainly between Umiko x Nene and Ko x Rin.

The only downside was the subs, which were pretty messy and lol worthy at times. I'll be happy to rewatch this episode when the Crunchyroll subs comes out for it.

Looks like there's a character design competition to select the lead characters and designer for the new game project, guess they decided to go with this since Hifumi didn't give them an answer?
I don't think she is ready, and I was surprised they offered it to her. A person in that position has to have good communication skills and the resolve to give honest feedback to others. She definately lacks the communication skills, and I never saw any of the peers on the design team (that is, anyone outside of Kou, and occasionally Umiko from the programmer's side) give feedback. I'm not saying that they didn't do peer code/design reviews - I just don't recall if they showed us doing any of that, so it makes me wonder.


I do agree that the role itself requires good communication skills and some leadership qualities but considering that Hifumi herself said she wanted to overcome her social shyness, offering her the position might actually be a really good way to do it. That might be the reasoning behind them offering her the job.

Nth time mentioning that the subs suck. Might view some parts again when CR releases it.

Good first episode, we jump right back into Aoba's career after Fairies Story 3 released. The visuals are always nice to see and the characters were cute af. Nenechi x Umiko scene was my favorite since they talked a bit about programming which I was fond of.

Of course everyone in the cast is 18+, who would've thought xD

That's a good point, I can see that. But I would certainly want to make sure she was given support - someone who had the bandwidth to keep watch and jump in to help her before things derailed.

disregarding the awful subs (p comical actually kek), this first ep felt like a bit of a letdown. every char exhibited their little quirks in a bit of a forced manner in scenarios that felt a bit unfitting; felt a bit service-y

Umiko and Nenecchi on a d-d-date??? Even though they have the most opposite personalities in the show they still make a good ship. I loved their scene.

Glad to see all the girls back. I personally prefer the Kou x Rin ship, because that way Aoba can ship with Hifumi and it's happily ever after for everyone.

Will watch the ep again on Crunchyroll when it gets decent subs.

With so many people complaining about the subtitles I have to wonder if I got a different version, because I don't remember the subtitles being that bad. Though the version I downloaded did say that the previous version they uploaded had been a joke, so I'm amusing everyone is talking about that version.

Anyway, glad to see this series return. ^__^

I mean they turned the scene with Rin+Hazuki interviewing Kou into (possible spoiler? But not really because it's not what she's saying):

I just watched the first episode.

What the fuck is up with the fansubs?! Who the hell is 'Himalaya'? Why are the girls referred as 'He' instead of 'she'?

The episode was pretty good. Aoba's purple eyes and hair is looking awesome as usual (i really like that colour). Everyone was cute.
From what I understood from the horrible subs (pun?), there's going to be a character design competition?

Looking forward to better subs and the next episode.

It is a simulcast. Following the early preview online stream of episode 1 last week, the show started actually airing in Japan today.

TheAncientOne said:
Symphogear apparently isn't an easy license. Funimation only had the first series for a while because of their partnership at the time with NicoNico.com. No one simulcast the second series, and when CR announced they had the third, it actually took them a while to make the first episodes available, with them snagging the first and second series around the same time for their library.

This was fantastic. Doga Kobo saving the season with it's quality animated cute girls.

Still getting those quality Yagami ass shots. Hifumi has grown into even more top tier waifu material. Drunk girls doing cute things is always great.

And let's not forget the ships. Yuri ships for you, yuri ships for you, yuri ships for everyone!
