Honestly, I think that doctor is going way too far with his plans now. "Yatta!" Pfft.

Poor Maria ;.;

My favorite parts this episode is when Tsubasa kicked ass again on her bike. That bike is glorious. About damn time they team up against Chris now. Tsubasa's fight against Chris was also decent I guess.

At first I thought the doctor is the mid-level boss, but it seems he will be the last boss?
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.

Official Kirika x Shirabe duet version :D
So, another CD with this version and jinx song (Orbital Beat) for second track :)

Dr. Ver (to Maria): when I come back, lets think about how to replenish human's population
Sitting tight waiting for the next Comiket.

- There's still one Gungnir left for Hibiki to use.

- With Shirabe saying same thing as Fine, opening possibility that Kirika is a red herring.

- A little disappointed, no cliffhanger this episode

Once again Tsubasa kick arse this episode still mad at Chris and Maria needs to stop being so damn fickle.

I noticed on 4chan someone said Shirabe has Finé soul while Kirika has her powers. Also someone else said Shirabe has the good part of Finé soul while Kirika has the dark half of it.

Both kinda make sense in my opinion but guess well find out who really did inherited her soul.

Felt scammed (again) with the obvious hints that Shirabe has Fine's memories.

Well, Tsubasa didn't seemed like she needed the helmet when she rode the bike.... She had it on for, seconds? LOL

And the Shul Shagana x Igalima duet!! Been waiting for it since forever!

Huh, I called Hibiki's power loss.
I didn't really expect her to become a normal human again, after all that hybrid stuff.

Oh well.
The show seems almost like it's going for an ending where Hibiki is normal again, living normal life with no fighting or whatever.
I kinda hope that they don't go that route though.

Let's be honest.. anyone else notice Ver's arm turned normal for a while around 11:30? there's actually quite a lot of flaws in this ep.. for example, Kirika's transforming sequence seems to be lacking a few frames when she starts.. and the Noises this ep seems to be extra derpy? But maybe I love this series so much until I am expecting too much from it.. please don't be mad at me guys. :'(

To the production team, this is no time to slack! >< Keep up with the quality, don't waste all the early efforts putting into this series in the last few episodes! I really love this series a lot! <3

It's obvious that Chris had an ulterior motive and I think we'll get the full extent of it nxt ep. Well it was pretty clear since she shot Tsubasa in a non fatal place.

Dr's faces are soooo hilarious XDXDXD Sugita is enjoying this role quite a lot hahaha.

Let's see how Hibiki will save Maria. I'm guessing the fact that both are gungnir's will have a role to play here.

Best thing about Dr. Ver :)

At this point though, what good will it be for Chris to take away the Infinite Cannonfodder Work (Solomon's sceptre).


On the Shirabe might be Fine's part, now since Kirika's single (and official lyrics) is released already, has anyone examined the lyrics of Shul Shagana and Igalima ?

It's amazing how little sense this show continues to make. Why did they have to commit acts of terrorism if all they wanted to do was bring the Frontier up from the ocean? Why did they even need the noise at all? Why can absolutely none of the characters understand that Ver is evil? Why would you need to be a terrorist group to stop the moon from hitting the earth? Why is the moon going to hit the earth? Why would Chris switch sides based on ideology when it's completely unclear as to what the enemy's ideology actually is? Since Chris is most likely faking her betrayal to infiltrate the enemy, why wouldn't she tell anyone? I know it's a show about singing magical girls, but why is the writing so hazy? The first season had the exact same problem. If you can't make your plot coherent, just make it less complicated.

You know... if there's one thing Symphogear is good at... it's dropping the ball. I just... *deep sigh*

Words just cannot express my disappointment with how this show's been handled. Curdles my stomach just thinking about it.

I dunno... maybe I'll skim the last couple episodes. Other than that though... I think I'm just gonna have to wash my hands of Symphogear entirely.

The fight scenes were really good this episode.

Whats up with Maria being so fickle? You got betrayed by Ver so gear up and freaking kill him.

Knew the character songs for Shirabe and Kirika were quite similar, just didnt expect them to combine them. Guess the duet of those two will be released after Miku's one

I wonder when Hibiki will transform again. Methinks the "last hope" thing will play a part on her regaining her powers.
Hmm. I find Maria's character weak. Too much insecurity and self-loathing.
And of course, Chris is just a distraction and is still an ally working as a double agent. And the implied part of Fine being inside Shirabe is interesting. Maybe Maria also harbors a fragment after all.

Oh yeah, and they can't just destroy the Moon, since that would also destroy all life on Earth anyway. Unless they ignore physics or introduce plot device that will "fix" it. So it's something that will somehow push it back and put back on its natural orbit, hopefully.

Wait, so the doctor that kills schoolchildren, turns the Noise loose on a building full of tourists, performs experiments on helpless prisoners, and occasionally laughs like a gd lunatic is actually not looking out for everybody's best interests? That really came out of nowhere. It's no surprise, really, that Maria didn't see that one coming. Right? Right?!

Hikibi has delightful breasts ... pity she doesn't seem to have any nipples. Does anyone else find breasts without nipples kinda creepy?

The story does seem to be turning into a clusterfuck here at the end. It is rather crazy that the villains continue to work with the Dr, even after he already betrayed them. Maybe he's the only one who knows how to operate the Frontier's technology, though he used it to accelerate the Moon's fall instead of pushing it further away.

... Why is the moon going to hit the earth?


I'm pretty sure they answered this one, it's because Fine blew off a chunk of the moon and tried a Colony Drop with it ... that didn't work but it knocked the moon off its orbit and started it spiraling down towards the Earth.

I agree with previous posts, the plot really took a turn for the worst in the past few episodes. The actions of Chris, Maria and a lot of other characters are hard to understand.

And I feel betrayed because I didn't get my Miku non-brainwash gear fight :(

Yes, the "plot" has been in a grand death spiral for a few episodes now. Yes, they keep running cliffhangers that go nowhere. But seriously, should anybody be even remotely surprised at all that? These are things that permeated the first series as well, and it succeeded enough to garner a second. Thus, while many may hate, it worked for them once, and you know the saying about what NOT to do if it ain't broke.

That being said, Ver was the second best thing here (first being the duet). That guy keeps cracking me up with his sheer lunacy. Last action hero? How can he be any of those words other than "last?" And I have to admit, he seems to be bottom feeding on his choice of a "repopulation tool." I'd put Maria near or at the bottom in almost every category I care about.

The doctor was again marvelous with more crazy faces and lines like "last action hero" and "let's discuss how we can contribute to earth's repopulation(he wants a piece of that ass)"
His calm and crazy faces switch is such a blast.
The guy is almost as fan to watch as the beautiful asses of the girls while fighting in their symphogear outfits(btw that Tsubasa vs Chris fight was really fap worthy).

Yay Hibiki didn't actually die and Miku is saved! And of course Hibiki would go with Shirabe to fight against the Fine gang because Hibiki can "hold their hands".

Dr. Ver is like, the epitome of a mad scientist atm. He deserves a medal.

Also, since Chris hasn't given the Fine gang a reason why she joined them, and because she could have easily left Tsubasa dead but course to keep her alive, I'm thinking Chris is playing the "I'm pretending to be on your side but at the last moment I'm gonna 'betray you' and help out my friends" role. I sure hope so ^_^

It's kinda cheap how Hibiki was healed because of Miku's beam.

Never expected to see Chris vs Tsubasa once again!!! They have to show that Chris is just bluffing. No way in hell she throw all that way just for some random place that may or may not even save earth.

That hand though!! This Dr. is fucking crazy as hellL!! Yatta!!! Lol Sugita-san XD

Shirabe vs Kirika! Never thought to see the day!!

I hope to see more Maria action soon!!

Can't fucking wait for the last two episodes!! I have a feeling Madam will sacrifice herself to save Earth.

Idk how Chris can keep up in combat with Tsubasa. She's very weak up close lol.

They let Hibiki go as a normal human into a death trap. No one even questions it. I wouldn't mind such retarded decisions if at least 1-2 characters were like "no way, that's a bad idea". At least that would give the show some much needed feeling that things will go wrong, even if ultimately they don't.

Everything is far too obvious and convenient but whatever (This relic beam happens to remove relics! Hibiki is now healed and received no extra damage from the beam! Symphogear wear was a factor in the former episodes, the girls would get tired after a bit, but now they stay on it for like entire episodes with no problem!). Anyway, this show never tried to make sense lol, just having fun with it.

Would've been way better if Miku had secondary effects, Tsubasa showed signs of being tired, Hibiki saying something like "I got a plan", and less plot conveniences such as Elixir That Will Allow Me To Use Frontier's Main Panel. That Linker in general has to be the one of the biggest plot devices I've ever seen.

I like Dr. Vex's plan. So, he wants to wipe out humanity and repopulate the planet using Maria and the other girls. That's my kind of plan if I were given the chance. I'll screw Maria & Tsubasa so much! Hehe

Is Kirika truly aware of Dr. Vex's plans? Or by saying that she wants to leave evidence of herself behind, she means her offspring with Dr. Vex in repopulating a cleansed Earth? Hehe

I like the fight between Tsubasa and Chris. I got a good view of their delicious armpits, boobs, and ass!
