Well shit, Hibiki lost an arm, if the fact the battle is at the same tower the final battle was in the first season was bad enough. Dr Ver is also now completely insane killing children and pretty much all else in his way with the noise

Kirika and Tsukiyomi's singing was excellent

Oh wow another symphogear in Maria's past, dear lord Selena was all screwed up like Tsubasa was in the first season except Selena died in the process.

I loved Symphogear S1 for its campy attitude and oldschool vibes besides its (somewhat deserved) bad reputation, but S2 is honestly my favourite show this season and easily trumps everything in S1.

This episode was awesome. Hell yeah, Symphogear!

Gungnir will just grow her a new arm. Then she lost another, and another, until she quit being hybrid and turns into a walking relic :D

Mini Zwei Wing's show is great. Love Kirika's singing voice

No wonder fans in Japan suddenly talk about Akira tonight:

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.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

O_O...that arm rip was totally surprising. Totally didn't expect it.

But well in an anime with this much technology I doubt losing an arm is that much of a worry --__--
Though the suspense it created was pretty epic.

Really loving Hibiki's fighting style. I hope she gets her hand back so she can fight again. Also hope she doesn't go emo mode.

Ver is such an ass...but he's a good villain.

Kirika and Shirabe's song was really nice. Loved it.

Maria's past was pretty sad. Loved the song playing while it happened.

All in all really nice ep. This season is far better than first.

Love Orbital Beat sang by Kirika and Shirabe, it sounded almost like the original and i didnt expect them to have that much of a powerful voice.

That triple transformation scene was really well done. It was so vibrant and i just love it so much but its missing a "BANG!"

Chris was out cold from that? I mean pretty sure shes endured much more force than that and didnt get knocked out.

Didnt expect Hibiki's hand to get chewed, cant wait to see how they grow it back.

I gotta say, the performance in the beginning of the episode was actually nice. Ver is an asshole though.

The fight was okay I guess. The songs were decent but holy shit, Tachibana and her arm ;.; RIP
OUCH.

Ahhh...Orbital Beat...I wonder if that version will come out on the singles for either Kirika or Shirabe. Still, it was nice to hear that song with new voices although I still prefer the Tsubasa/Kanade original.

Dr. Starscream Ver seems to be both an asshole and a sadist the likes of which this series has never seen before. I hope he dies in the most brutal way possible. (Give me a Dangan Ronpa style execution! :P)

And that arm tear....damn...that was pretty brutal.

Lastly, disarmed Hibiki:

All hail the adorable chess master!

Shit just got REAL.

Still, she should have just followed the example of an another yellow-clad character and got her head bitten off.

Swan song still only deadly when it's convenient for the plot. Rofl.

Well, at least that solves the debate of the exposed areas being their weak point or not if there ever was one. No magic shielding, you need physical armor to protect agasint melee blows eh.

They look screwed though.

The ending was unexpected but there will definitely be a twist later on where Hibiki will get a new arm. The style of this series does not focus on over-extreme violence and blood so yeah.

Most likely her arm was broken the moment the mouth closed on it, also she shows hesitation at the last moment which is also a factor as to why she didn't resist.

She hesitated because her attack did not work. No cyborg arm can handle Hibikis strength. The only Thing she is luck about that she is righty. Most of her attacks she uses with her right arm. That scene reminded me of when Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 4 cut his arm off, Mamis death in Madoka Magica, Subaru from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers when her arm was injured, and from Attack on Titan where Eren lost his arm and Leg.

Would be nice if the show would stop trying to play up the Swan Songs as dramatic scenes. Ever since it stopped being sure death their impact has dropped dramatically. Just beating a dead horse by reusing the same basic scene in this episode as what happened to Tsubasa in S1. >: I

Probably the only good thing that happened in this episode was Hibiki losing an arm. It's like FINALLY Something different. ;P

Now let's hope to see Gungnir regenerate it and Hibiki lose control because of it, would make it perfect imo.

Dreading if they do the opposite. : I

.

It's a different team handling this. There's literally no guarantee it will go any way you think just because the first season did so.

with this though..I should probably just drop this. It's been one of the worst shows I've watched this season...I tried to like it, but it's just written so much worse than the first season...for me anyway

^ Watch it for masochistic pleasure.
The first season got bad score, yet there's still peoples coming back to see what kind of trainwreck the staff can make this time :D


So the concensus is that: Hibiki's arm got chomped ==> just a flesh wound, no big deal

XD
