| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- About Hibiki, my favourite of her is the following,  Because not only is she berserk but her foot is up a Noise to kill it. I cannot express in words my Over 9000 Joy of the following spoiler However that got stopped easily from the explosions in the spoiler About Hibiki’s transformation, it was nice that before she did it that she had the angered look here. It provided good response to her motivational feelings. While the transformation itself in the spoiler About the beginning, I am not sure WTF was it to show Hibiki doing the panic running, the sudden nice block and kills a Noise in one shot, the slam into the car whom was the worse one, more fear chicken running around and it looks like Hibiki did not like any of it from her face here. While at least Tsubasa was nice here and it looks like Genjurou was monitoring her here. Which made me think it was a simulation but I am not sure of that. About Hibiki x Miku, they were nice to see from the start here. Looks like Miku is checking some meteor shower event here. While I did find Hibiki being tired cute. While Miku pouting here had a nice MOE effect on her. A little fan service of Hibiki’s bra in the spoiler About Genjurou’s powers, Genjurou was amazing in the spoiler About Ryoko Sakurai, for some reason I am seriously getting attracted by her breasts in the spoiler About thee end, it was nice to see that the grape Noise is dead by an Azure shot from Tsubasa here and that Hibiki/Tsubasa meet once more. However the problem comes as the following,  and here and it’s directly the girl from the OP in the spoiler Therefore to me the episode was pretty good it tended to keep a good pace with emotional feed. I liked it. The ED is still explainable. I am looking into corpses and flowerings. There is something with that in the ED despite being disturbing. BTW Image Stitches done in the spoiler I had to do in the spoiler |

| Hibiki could have destroyed the grape looking noise if she controlled her berserk mode a bit. Genjurou is DBZ powerful and knocked Tsubasa out of her Symphogear mode. Next episode we have one of the main villians in this series that will be fighting Hibiki and Tsubasa. |

Onii said: Shittiest berserker modo Disappointment of the season. Indeed, that was so weak... A proper berserk mode should lead to the complete and total annihilation of all and every foe within proximity using the most violence possible and for added effect some assaulting of allies who do not know when to stay the fuck away^^ Although it was quite interesting to see that fellow block one of Tsubasa more powerful attacks, seemingly with ease and without any special gear. Wonder what his story is, and if he really is that powerful why is he not out there kicking ass xD |
| ya wasn't the best berserker mode hopefully they show more of it and hopefully its more u know berserk other then that i was a good ep. now what kind of power the mysterious girl will have |
 |
| Good episode,Hibiki berserk mode was kinda fail like you people said berserk mode most be destructive and nothing most survive still she is kinda cute and wears orange bras I so let it pass....for now. Poor Miki getting all exited about the Meteor Shower to get disappointed :( Tsubasa looked nice in Kimono and i feel sad for her leaving in the past and no moving on...and nice slap she give Hibiki. Genjurou kicks ass i want to know more about him already!,also Ryoko is a kinda slotish...i like it! Next episode we see the new girl....lets wait! |
| my hopes is back . . . but Hibiki's still deserved to die . . . She didn't know about other's (Tsubasa's) feeling at all . . . and yet she want to replace Kanade . . . |
| Damn, don't mess with Genjurou. |
 |
| Biggest Disappointment of season. Candidate for worst anime of Winter 2012 - forced and poorly resolved cliffhangers and berserker modes - Hibiki is worst character of season, annoying voice and attitude - animation is cheap and full of QUALITY (look how Tsubasa and manager are walking or Hibiki writing) |

Good episode,Hibiki berserk mode was kinda fail like you people said berserk mode most be destructive and nothing most survive still she is kinda cute and wears orange bras I so let it pass....for now. The only thing that sucked is: A)It was like too slow. B)Grape Noise was to be dead instantly with the others but did not and escaped nearly. But hey you need to give some credits to Tsubasa so they did it like that to show Hibiki's inexperience. |
| So... is this anime competing with Blood C for the most boring action anime of the decade? |
 |
| Genjurou was pretty epic, that caught me off guard. I love this anime this season, even better than Lagrange and Aquarion Evol (Well Aquarion Evol is epic). Anyway, I love all the music in this anime, seemed each episode has new tracks? Sakurai needs to get that yuri out of this show, lol. she cracks me. |

| I was pretty amused by this episode and I thought that wouldn't happen x'D Also... Nana Mizuki is so epic~ I turn on the volume 10 times more when she sings~ bastek66 said: Biggest Disappointment of season.

WHAT?" |
| How can I love one character so much, but hate her at the same time? damnit Hibiki. |
  |
| Come on people that wasn't a 'berseker mode' so stop calling it that. It was her being angry but she still had all of her sense, I guess people got confused because of the dark face. A berseker mode is when a character display it's maximum potential while being unconcious/having little to no sense. We may see one in the next episode in the event that Tsubasa and Hibiki get beated up but right now that clearly wasn't one. |

Tsubasa and the manager walking scene, you can't even call that walking, their characters were just moving from side to side and arms up and down like they're marching, wtf. I have to admit though Genjurou was awesome, that one punch not only hit Tsubasa metres back but the whole road was destroyed, like holy shit and even his expensive shoes. xD Tsubasa is annoying the hell out of me, seriously accept Hibiki already. And that dark face on Hibiki when she was kicking the Noise's ass, thought she had lost it, probably just full on angry. |
 |
| Hibikis went berserk. :D And I not a fan of the look for the new symphnogear we met at the end. |
| I'm glad there is other characters with armor. Sakurai provides some good comic relief. |
| Omg that walk just killed me... it was just some crappy copy/paste of the same walking motion. While I thought the berserk scene with Hibiki was just plain awesome and made me start to like her just a little bit the few seconds after just made me realize it was a fail, come on now, you can't rip off enemies like that and go back to that "cutesy" face right after. I think the only reason why I would still watch this show is because of Nana Mizuki. |
| Not yet living up to the potential shown in the first episode. Still enjoying it, but hoping it picks itself up. And yeah, that walking scene was wtf. |
| I was lol'ing pretty hard that walking scene as well. Overall I'm rather disappointed so far. Which sucks when the music is pretty good. |
| Suddenly, I remember how the first episode opened. |
AngelicFeces said: agreed . . .Suddenly, I remember how the first episode opened. and after i watch this episode, i remember the second episode . . . i hope next episode is better than that . . . |
| This anime is so funny I'm calling this the best comedy of this season! |
AngelicFeces said: Suddenly, I remember how the first episode opened. YES! That^ This puzzled me for awhile as i had to pause and look back at the opening of first episode to make sure the one miki mourns for is not kanade but hibiki. So at the end hibiki's gonna die? And seriously whats with the quality of the animation in this episode? It's so damn half assed. I decided to watch this series because the genre seems to be promising and to top that its nana mizuki and element gardens doing the musics. Well the musics and songs did end up epic but the show itself is abit...meh. I was hoping for something else to happen but well it has been a little bit disappointing thus far i have to say. They decided to throw a cliffhanger at us in order to end the episode every single time? Well i think i am going to keep watching it for awhile more before deciding to drop it or not. Hopefully it'll turn out to be better. |

Split personality? or just REALLY pissed off? Hibiki is bipolar... That said, I can't get into this anime at all. It's not that bad, its just disappointing. Actually maybe even disappointing is wrong since I didn't expect much from this series anyway (I'm still kinda salty after Yokurama bagged out Lagrange and praised this tho. lol). Perhaps, 'meh' really is the best word to describe this anime. I don't dislike it, nor do I like it. I watch it, but never look forward to it - even after all these cliffhangers they leave us with. 3/5 I'm starting to like the songs they sing during their fights tho. I also especially liked that piano acoustic bgm towards the beginning of the episode. :D |
onzeedge said: This is painful to watch. Clearly the commander has powers on par,if not even more powerful, than Tsubasa. Yet the day Kanade died, he was at the scene and didn't give a fuck. GG. Only symphogear can hurt noise. Nonetheless, that really was cringe-worthy. :/ |
Revenant_Jan 21, 2012 1:41 AM
| Dat walk..theres just somethings you can let go but that wasn't one of em lol..,berserker mode was more like Hibik was just having a short tantrum of not being able to see the shooting stars!. at least we know they won't be fighting a new jellfish every week now :3 |
 |
onedaysnotice said: Exactly, the commander is only someone against 2 of them fighting each other. Should the new girl be also a Symphogear, the commander may be able to calm her down and neutralize her but that's it.

| Loved it :D |
 |
| Lol. The way Tsubasa and Her manager walk like puppets on a stage. Her berserk mode may be weak for now, she'll get more destructive later on. I know, because it's cliche. And the staff won't stop Hibiki from progressing. |
onzeedge said: Yumekichi11 said: Ah, thanks for reminding me. The whole "noise is on an untouchable resonance frequency, except for symphogear" thing.onedaysnotice said: Exactly, the commander is only someone against 2 of them fighting each other.

Yet the day Kanade died, he was at the scene and didn't give a fuck. GG. Still I'm confused as to how he cancels out Tsubasa's attack with his bare knuckle.. I mean, if the noise turn ordinary humans into ash when touched - because they resonate at totally diferent frequencies, then shouldn't symphogear users too turn into ash, since they resonate at two different levels - the noise one, and the one shared with humans? If Tsubasa only resonated on the Noise frequency, then the commander shouldn't have been able to cancel her out - cause he'd turn into ash if he touched her blade. From this I conclude that the commander do resonate at the same frequencies and should be able to attack noise. This wouldn't be the first time I can't get my head around something, so please excuse me if my reasoning is flawed. If you talk about Human and Noise on a different level being . . . Symphogear user seems has it place in between them . . . Human can't touch Noise, cause it'll turn them into ash . . . Symphogear user can touch both of them . . . also, Symphogear is result from Human being and some power that similar to Noise (those Relic thing) Synchronized through harmony . . . so it's not a surprise if it can touch both of them . . . |
| omg still loling over the fail ass walking scene. wtf were the animators thinking? So, this is the show I look forward to the least every week next to Mirai Nikki. I was rather entertained by Hibiki at the end though. |
| Calling it now. Miku is one or if not yet, will become one of the villains. |
-Quasar said: Calling it now. Miku is one or if not yet, will become one of the villains. That would make no sense because Miku would have been dead in the beginning of the first ep as well. I doubt this will be a series where the villians win. There could be a chance of these things happening: Likely path: Miku ends up getting killed by noise before Hibiki and Tsubasa can save her at the end. Normal Path: Hibiki gets killed at the end and maybe Tsubasa as well and the beginning ends up being the ending. Alternate Path: Miku gets captured by the villians and Hibiki and Tsubasa have to save her at the end and they do and it ends well. Unlikely but Possible Path: Tsubasa gets killed at the end or near the end and Miku gets her own Symphogear to defeat whatever the final enemy is whither it's a human villain or a massive powerful noise. |
|
| Still not caring about any character besides Miku. Hibiki went full on retard this episode "HERP DERP I'LL TRY TO REPLACE KANADE". REALLY!? That's not something a sane person says to a friend who has lost a loved one. Tsubasa is still annoying. Even though Hibiki is emotionally retarded about Kanade's death it's still not Hibiki's fault that she has these stupid Gungnir fragments in her chest, so fucking give her a break. |
| This may very well be my favorite show from this season. It sits well with me as very good. |
 |
| There i feared another cliffhanger would be left without any notice, good thing it wasn't the case. So yeah, Hibiki is even more retarded than i thought with her "imma replace Kanade so don't hit me". But Tsubasa still pulls a bitch on her even though she's more responsible for Kanade's death than Hibiki is, not to mention Hibiki got Gungnir accidencially. Also good to see Hibiki going berserk, shame only for a while though. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| I feel like we'll get a bad ending. Tsubasa will slowly but surely get attached to Hibiki that will master slowly but surely Gungnir's power. Then at the end Tsubasa will get beated up by the Noise/ennmy symphogear and will get saved by Hibiki that will chose to sing her sacrificial song but instead Tsubasa will stop her and sing her's herself. Would do a good parallel to see Tsubasa going through the same painfull situation twice but this time with more power and the choice to sacrifice herself instead. Then drama and ending with Hibiki following in Tsubasa footstep with a possible newcommer under her wing. |
|
| ^ But Hibiki will die at the end, that's a fact since the beginning of 1st ep. |

Panaru said: Even though Hibiki is emotionally retarded about Kanade's death it's still not Hibiki's fault that she has these stupid Gungnir fragments in her chest, so fucking give her a break. Actually, she kinda is. She was standing there like a dumb idiot while a lot of other people already escaped. If she wasn't there maybe Kanade wouldn't have to do the unfortunately idiotic sacrifice. Having those parts in her or not, she was at some blame. Tsubasa's anger is perfectly justified. And watching this episode gives an impression that half of the cast don't give a shit about Tsubasa's feelings... not to mention that some of those guys at the bas act so nonchalantly. Their lack of seriousness in certain department fail to make some of the drama more believable. But the most important thing is that everyone at the base find Hibiki so interesting. Main hero love syndrom I guess. Seeing a tomb of Hibiki at episode one doesn't mean shit. How many of anime/movies made it like that only to show that hero is miraculously alive or just wanted to play dead as he altered his identity. |
