Those uniforms :3

That school :3

The battle was okay I guess. The song played during the fight was kinda catchy. Enemies looked really weird this episode though:

Tsubasa almost got that noise, but Maria got it unexpectedly in style.

That scientist has some neat gadgets there, not only can he make Symphogear abilities backfire, he can summon infinite numbers of noise with limited regeneration abilities.

Really hope they step up things soon. This is just nowhere near as fun as the original season...

I don't think the professor showed off any sort of ability. It was likely just the gas that they ignored so dumbly

If you have learned music score reading, you would know that FINE is used to mean End, as in "Da Capo al Fine" meaning "repeat from beginning to the end". Think it has Italian root. Since music is a major integrated part of this anime, it makes sense to some terms having link to music. Surely the staff are more competent than you and I may give them credit for.

Anyway...

Three great episodes in a row !!

Chris' transformation --- just have to watch it repeatedly ! And the scene where she fell on the floor too !
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.

^SO THIS!

It was soooo nice to see Chris in the school uniform and she looks great in it.

The animators definitely paid more attention to Chris transformation scene than the other 2. She even turns while singing her song to transform which none of the other 2 did. The transformation scene was just awesome, i love every part of it. Didnt realise that there were ribbons on her ankles. I love how the suit formed around her by forming one colour after another. Highlight was the "BANG!", SO CUTE! it fits her theme so well and she seems so joyful while transforming unlike the others. The added mecha sound made the whole transformation even more enjoyable. Love her ending pose after shes done transforming. So glad the quality was incredible throughout the transformation.

I love how Chris straight away started shooting after transforming and sang that badass song.

Finally after waiting for 3 weeks for MY Chris-chan's transformation, it was so worth it. 100/10
Now time to go replay the scene hundred more times.

I'm sort of confused about the Fine thing...
so Fine is a person, not an organization?
or Maria is the spokesperson for Fine?


or am I forgetting something from the first season?

also... I don't recall Ogawa being badass...

P.S. I felt like I my heart was shot at that BANG!

If i remember correctly Fine was an entity in the past that died and has numerous descendant containing her dormant DNA presently. Those people with her DNA awakens and become Fine when they are exposed to a cenrtain wavelength(cant remember the name) the relics produced otherwise they are just normal people.

I just read from the official twitter that the "BANG!" was actually improvisation by Chris' seiyuu, Takagaki Ayahi, and everyone including the sound director loved it so much that the BANG ad-lib stayed, to great effect. Incredible, isn't it?

It was pretty stupid of the girls to completely miss the gas, but maybe the red tint was only visible to viewers at home. Many poison gasses are colorless, odorless and tasteless, so it might not just be character stupidity keeping them from realizing why they're so weakened.

Yukina's transformation was fanservicey as all get out, though not as much as the bad girls in their shower scene. When it slowly panned up Maria's naked body covered in fog I figured they might as well have put "BUY THE BLU-RAY" in big bold letters on top of the fog. Not sure if a show like this will have nipples in the Blu-ray, but the promise will sell a few disks ... or spur a few downloads.

Still enjoying the show, as paint-by-the-numbers as it tends to be. I just love the mix of music and action, and Yukina's song was awesome this week. Moe Heavyarms, go!

This episode sort of tries to clarify the apparent plot hole from last season where the Swan Song only ever seemed to kill off one character, but the thing is I don't remember Chris or Tsubasa ever holding hands with Hibiki or channeling the energies through anyone other than themselves when they tried to unleash there's yet they were just fine while Kanade crumbled to dust. It still just makes it look like it was selective in Kanade's case as she was the only one shown to ever actually die from using that trump card.

Anyway it's little surprise that Fine is back not only in organization form but reincarnated as well, but will her character be better executed and fleshed out this time around or will she just randomly decide she needs to destroy some stellar body down the line for no explicable reason. Hime cut starts having doubts about what they are looking to do and seems to resent Hibiki for in her eyes having easy choices to make and overall I'm struck how the show dealing with the aftermath of events from the first series and how it impacted the cast and our new "antagonists" somehow manages to be more interesting and relatable than almost the entirety first seasons events actually transpiring itself. It's nothing really unpredictable or special, but the simple fact it's a functional coherent story and concept makes it a continued huge improvement.

I don't know, this show is pretty entertaining and a guilty pleasure, I probably shouldn't try to think to hard about the plot for what amounts to a super robot powered armor show with only 12 episodes as long as it has some internal consistency from this point on. We're 3 episodes in and the animation quality hasn't absolutely cratered yet like last season so that's a huge plus as well.

The background music was nice. I wonder what that thing in the cage was. But why does the girl who shoots disks (Shirabe?) not like Hibiki? I wonder what her past is like. Anyway, looking forward to the next episode!

I wonder why that Finé group wants to rule the world. It's so dumb honestly. So Finé(person) has already been revived and she is that pink haired black gungrir user. Cool, I guess. Hope they explain how she was resurrected. Alright episode.

Great episode!!!

Why does the season feels De Ja Vu? Doctor that betrays you, cane that can someone noise, and now multiple symphogear users instead one.

I don't think Maria is Sakurai. The group is called Fine as a whole. Weather or not they got it from Sakurai is a different story.

Want more battles like the last few episodes of S1. This one is good, but not quite compared to them.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Exactly what I thought after episode 2. Emo Loli doesn't want to acknowledge Hibiki as the hero, who saved the world. Well, no one cares about the opinion of a little shit like her. There is another Fine, but it doesn't matter. They had beaten her once and it will be no different this time. And the Nephilim thing shows their stupidity once again. Awakening a creature, that someone can't control is never a good idea.

Oh, so Ogawa can fight? That explains why he survived despite all the insanity that happened in the previous episodes and season.

Yeah, I've been wondering why the villains think that Hibiki is a hypocrite. Like, they think that she should join them if she wants to help humanity or something? I guess it'll be answered in the following episodes.

Chris looked delicious during her transformation scene. I want to lick her armpits, and that bang! in the end makes me want to screw her hard!
Tsubasa never fails to look hot at whatever she does.

Did Fine reincarnate already? Does she carry memories from her previous incarnations? I thought she already made peace with Hibiki unless that was the real Ryouko who spoke to Hibiki before she died.
