| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Chris were fighting Noisy and was saved by Miku. Miku become friend with Chris and she become guilty about hurting her but Miku don't know that was her. Well I knew Hibiki and Miku should make up again on this episode, a friends bonds doesn't easily break for just that. It seem also that Genjurou know something about Chris maybe he is a friend of her parents or something. It's end all good :) I'm waiting for you to come Yumekichi haha :) so you are welcome to type more :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Miku's plan was amazing but reckless as hell, Miku nearly got killed by the octo-noise, glad they made up at the end as well. Hibiki can't land properly neither. This whole ep was full of split second saves and assists, Miku saving Chris, one by Genjurou who saved Chris when she lost her voice for a second all badass like using the pavement to destroy the noise, Chris herself wiping out the aerial noise, Miku with her reckless plan of getting the noise away from her grandmother, Hibiki saving Miku from octo-noise those boosters are awesome on her Symphogear, and Shinji coming right at the neck of time in his limo when Hibiki transformed. Chris had it even rougher than I thought, she looked like she was about to be tortured or worse in the flashback. Genjurou must know a friend of her family or her actual family. |
 |
| Poor Chris and her past. Makes you feel even more sorry for her. Glad to see Miku and Hibiki back together again. Ryoko conveniently arrives after the battle has ended, lol. |
 |
| Amazing episode. 3 Fronts that is excelled in rather well. A)The setup "Everyone Powers each other" whether emotionally or other mans it was done very nicely in this episode. Going from Hibiki getting support from Tsubasa to Hibiki herself supporting Tsubasa to Miku supporting Chris to Chris being supported by Genjurou to Hibiki supporting Miku and ultimately Miku supporting Hibiki with a resolve on their friendship. Well done in this episode. B)The drama was nicely mingled with the action. I find it was rather well balanced out. C)Intro of a new disposition on Hibiki's Symphogear. I talking about those in the spoiler While the second occurrence in the spoiler About Chris Yukine, when I see Chris in the following,  Along with how she was reacting with her abuse in the spoiler Despite after all that being told Chris’s smile here and her face here made things better ad lighter. Quite happy of Miku wanting to become Chris’s friend and her reactions to it in the spoiler About Chris’s fight and aftermath. Chris’s fight was nice from the start in the spoiler About Genjurou, the man is King! The man in the spoiler About Hibiki and Miku. Both were amazing in drama and action. Beginning with Miku here on the bed she looked pretty damn still depressed and her eyes here made it look like that. While her expression here seems to suggest that she anxious over Hibiki and Hibiki in bed shows some emotions in regards to that here. So the character emotional exchange is already a power in the beginning of the episode in response to thee resolve of last episode. Miku continued to show the depressive sings here and that part made it better out with the rain pouring down. I was glad to see Hibiki’s friends in the spoiler Hibiki’s meeting with Tsubasa where each supports each other scenario. What was nice is Tsubasa’s blush here and how Hibiki reacted here. In general it was segment of emotional exchange. The octopus Noise in the spoiler About Hibiki’s fight and aftermath. The final part was topnotch and the best Noise killing in the entire series so far. I am kind of wondering WTF the octopus changed colour in the spoiler  Now why is it so? Because it shows the wave punch being applied and its functions. All insides are damaged/killed off. Thus collapsing and the Noise goes boom in the spoiler About the fan service, it was week and well enough as of this episode.
About miscellaneous stuff, for one I liked how the radar showed Noise. It’s always well done. The little kid crying here was a great add to the setup of panic. While the setup for the plushy being stepped on showed a rather bad scenario of a city to be destroyed and desolated. I wondering WTF at guy taking pics here. I though they knew the remains after the Noise kill you so why take pics of that? I wonder. BTW Image Stitches done in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=407449 Nice ones of Hibiki and Chris. Let’s keep club growing despite their inactivity with some of that. |

| This show's really come around since the start. It still has it's WTF moments. But the overall feel of the show is great. The action is sweet. Chris is my new favorite char. Sadly, i get the feeling she'll be killed soon. Evil blonde is gunning for her bad now. |
| Good episode,They make up After this episode i like even more Chris,it was great that Miku help her,but those flashbacks it seems she had even a shittier life that i expected...She crying with remorse was sad to watch she almost got killed but Genjorou came and save the day being a badass. Without doubt i think she knows Chris maybe he knew her fathers....will see. Miku and Hibiki reconciliation was nice even that Miku plan so risky and lucky she didn't die,i enjoy a lot the talk they had with the phones it was nice specially their reaction said much how they feel for each other,In the end they make up and i happy with it!!! Also nice photo. Tsubasa also is improving in a good way she is opening more and more to Hibiki and that's nice hopefully we see her back to action soon. In general good episode,the action was great,Hibiki got better with his Symphogear and reconciliations lets see what next episode bring us!!! |
| Those two need to kiss already. |
Redfoxoffire said: Indeed, very much needed to relieve quite a bit of those suppressed annoying feelings between them... also it would definitely warrant a +1 to the overall series score (^.^)Those two need to kiss already. Looks like Miku is a very serious speed runner though, I mean honestly she seemed to be several miles away if you consider the change of scenery from rural apartments to to small hillside roads, that plus the height and speed Hibiki was travelling at and just "barely" made it in time^^ Overall the whole episode felt pretty rushed an meh IMHO >.< Oh and since the episode was such a disappointment I feel like it's really the time to brighten things a bit and link this as I'm always reminded of this epic band while watching (for obvious reasons) Armored Bards by Heathen Foray Oh and if you do not like it.. Piss off! Clearly you have no taste ;) |

| I'm glad they had the friend make up already. This show moves through the story at a good pace imo. |
| hahah chris,hibiki,miky love/frendship triangle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Man, Miku sure is a dumbass. |
 |
| Im happy that Miku and Hibiki are friends again. |
| the series seems to be progressing smoothly with all the character developments and all. I really loved the interaction in between chris and miku in this episode. And the story about chris past easily made her my favourite character of this series (sorry tsubasa but that's how its gonna be). With that being said, i sure hope the day that they are going to fight alongside with the final boss with shiny armour and gay english comes soon. Just a hunch, but i got a feeling hibiki's gonna die in the fight with the final boss while trying to protect the rest or something. |

 |
| Chris is my fav. character from this anime now... |
 |
| With all the Miku hate in previous ep, i knew they were gonna make up. Good episode, made my yuri senses tingle. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| got to love the QUALITY faces in this one |
| Thank god those two made up, I was getting a little bit annoyed that Miku keep avoiding Hibiki over some small issue !! |
 |
| I still have hope Hibiki will live through this series even with the evidence from episode 1. I knew those two would get back together shortly and I'm glad to see it. Bring on the yuri kiss scene already! |
 |
| Ugh, can't really suspend my disbelief anymore. Why didn't Hibiki just shout out herself and run away and finish off the octopus away from Miku and her grandmother (or whatever she is), for example? That would be ridiculously less risky, Miku could've just carried her grandmother out and taken her time (they knew it reacts to sound). Could list a zillion other examples like this, but this was the one most glaringly obvious. razisgosu said: I still have hope Hibiki will live through this series even with the evidence from episode 1. I knew those two would get back together shortly and I'm glad to see it. Bring on the yuri kiss scene already! I see two possibilities for that: 1) She went underground for some reason, and even Miku doesn't know 2) She became the next big-bad (madoka-style), cue next season material. |

| This show is still an abomination but likable one - I have no idea why but I like it :) only one request: can someone kill that girl which makes those "anime" references? it was funny one time, now not so much :P btw: what was that jumping things she had? was it shown before?! or are they making this stuff up but this (ok probably not intentional) reference to Nanoha A's and Subaru was nice :) |

| Well, Chris is definitely shaping up to be my favorite character here, so it's a shame that there's about a 99% chance she's going to die in the next few eps. Aside from that, we had some decent battle sequences, albeit with some ups (Hibiki finding novel ways to use her powers) and downs (new equipment/powers out of nowhere?). In fact, kind of like the series as a whole. But, at least it's entertaining for now - I just wish they'd stop with the misleading cliffhangers already. |
| WOw, they made up rather fast! I was in for more drama but well that's fine, too. Poor Chrisu~ slave trade & abuse! :-( |
| She'll probably sing her song in the last episode and die that way. Fine episode, but not the best. At least we saw some Chris action and singing. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Good thing Miku and Hibiki made up. Chris' past is pretty messed up and I wonder if she'll join the team or not. Diabolicu said: I lol'ed at this one. They almost look like chibi characters with those QUALITY eyes.got to love the QUALITY faces in this one |
 |
Onyxthegreat said: I lol'ed at this one. They almost look like chibi characters with those QUALITY eyes. at least they walk normally - this is kind of progress on second thought - Hibiki looks really cute here :D |
Dalek-bakaFeb 27, 2012 3:15 PM
| Ahh...Friendship. Good to know there back to being Yuri friends. |
Diabolicu said: got to love the QUALITY faces in this one That's exactly what I thought lol Well, good for Miku & Hibiki they're girlfriends again, for the next episode I ask for more kurisu pleaseeee~ xD and 5 mores episodes to go uhm I wonder what the climax will be ... |
 |
| Bestest cutest friends again! Wahh~~ They're so precious, I'm happy~;w;♥♥ We saw some of Chris's cute tsun tsun moments in here too, which were adorable! I really hope she becomes an ally soon, she's very likable~(♥ó㉨ò)ﾉ♡ |
  |
| Wow...I have been waiting for Hibiki to die all this time. Guess that will happen in episode 12?? |
| Oh yay the yuri pals are back together. Wow Chris really had it rough in the past, being chained and abused. Who knows what else she's been through. Felt really bad for her, tho I've gotta say wow she was really cute. Damn the people who would dare do anything harmful to her. Hmm looks like Genjurou knew her from somewhere or her parents and it seems like he failed her before. :/ |
 |
| Miku and Hibiki, best friends forever |
 |
| Somtimes I wonder why I'm still watching this because some moments are so predictable and lame imo. I liked half of the episode and was bored the other half. Chris and Hibiki will probably be friends soon. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Glad that was over. At least now we know what miku was thinking it wasnt because of the secret but because she felt that Hibiki was keeping all her emotions to herself without telling other people. Hehe i get angry at that sometimes too .Really love their relationship. |
Awesome Sig by Lailide |
| They made up fast. Which is good. Also it was pretty adorable |
 |
| Ouch, feel for Chris's past, nice to see the other two make up though :D |
| They made up <3 Really lovely episode I must say and I wonder what will happen next! |

  |
| Yay! I'm glad Hibiki and Miku are friends again! Pretty good episode. The transformations really remind me of Mai-Otome. I'm really liking the series so far! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Woah, Miku found Chris. It'll be super awkward if they met Hibiki while being together. That quality at 10:35, lol. Damn, what the hell happened to Chris when hse was little? It looks like Chris changed from the bad side to being neutral now. Unless she joins Hibiki later. Yeah, I am definitely getting evil vibes from Ryoko. Nice episode. |
| Reforged friendship is such a wonderful thing. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Good to see Miku and Hibiki made up quickly, I would have been pretty pissed off if they dragged it out. |
| Great episode! Kazanari with that Bruce Lee pose! Glad there's no more drama. Finally Miku made amends to Hibiki. Poor Chris. She had a rough childhood. Every leaving her like that, so i'm not surprise why she always had a temper problem every so often. I hope we get to see her more soon ^^ Lol so many Yuri themes i don't know where to begin. I'm fine with it, but i really prefer if Tsubasa or Chris were the main character. Not a fan of Hibiki tbh. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Genjirou is awesome. He doesn't need no symphogear, he has his fists! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| "If this were an anime, what would we do?" Have a yuribait forgiveness speech/makeup scene? You definitely have to give this show props about depicting the emotional and social impact that being a warrior on the side would have on a normal high school girl. Poor Chris. She's been led down a bad path full of self-hatred and needs a hand. I feel like Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Miku could easily provide those hands to her. "I want to fight, too." But Miku you ain't been given the power. Don't do anything stupid. The fact that Miku wants to share Hibiki's emotional turmoil with her as part of their friendship is sweet, though. |
