Well I didn't expect the twist honestly with Kirika involving the soul and all. I will guess it involves something with her past or something based on those brief images. Her eyes seemed abnormal also so...

Best parts for me this episode is Maria kicking ass. NICE CAPE. Maria went to a whole new level of badass :3. Dem cliffhangers. Mikuuuuuuuuuuu.

I have the feeling Miku was saved by Maria. I will be surprised if it's any other outcome.

Kirika is 15 years old !? (never see the official website)
Well, seeing Miku and Hibiki's design, really possible.

Shirabe making lunch is really cute


Tsubasa's character song is out too, but Maria's still better IMO :D

Seems too alike to Shouko's "death " in Valvrave...I'm going to predict that Maria saved her...or at least something prevented her from dying.

Also, am I the only one who is surprised that the Doctor can actually make such a calm expression and drink tea? I mean, I'm surprised that his demeanor lasted as long as it did.

she won't die.

Maria looked like she headed straight for the rooftop , I don't think she saved Miku , but somehow I get this feeling that

Hibiki will die if she continue to transform, and she never transformed this often before.

hmm, or she will complete fuse with gungnir if she accepts it, or she will live in symbiose with it.

One thing that makes me belief this is that the docs said something like it creates another organ.

I think she is just in danger because her body is seeing gnugnir as a threat currently and is reaction becuase of this like this.

Much like in real life organ transplations there is needed somekind of medicine or maybe in this case triger to better the situation.

Like many others, I'm confident Miku didn't die and I think Hibiki may temporary lose herself in this and go insane.

Yes, him. On another note, now that he knows that Maria is not really Fine, his actions seem to have become much more...how do you say....reckless....He seems confident that he has leverage over the low sync rate antagonists.

I still can't tell if Dr Ver is in their side at all. Maybe he's just a typical mad scientist who cares for his goals only...
That lady is really naive. She expects that the Government will strike deals with her after having had become rogue, a terrorist faction and self-declared enemy.

Just realized that Maria's skill are very much alike to Kamen rider Knight from Ryuki. With the whole cape and javalin/lance/spear thingy.

Great episode though. Lol at the cup noodles that Shirabe was cooking. Too bad the episode was missing more of Chris

For me Symphogear is the best anime of the season by far.

I didn't expect Hibiki would be so developed in this season, but it's kinda sad for me Chris doesn't appears decently until now since the first episodes. I really like her D:

I have a predict that Hibiki will turn into god on the last ep *Madoka feelings*, but before do that she needs to give at least a kiss on Miku to make me happy ç.ç (why do I can't dream this high, right?)

I guess Miku has been saved by Maria and is alive.
But, by the time she will appear and be found alive in a while, Hibiki needs to find something.

Miku's death flags have been set since the first season... did she actually die though? (I hope not and I doubt it)

Loving Maria's character song. <3 I still think/hope they will all join forces by the end.

FYI Full ED is out too :D

Mikuuuuuuuuuu, I forbid you to die...

If the lyrics of the ED have any significance, could it refer to Hibiki and Miku?

If she dies, I get the feeling that Hibiki would die too. :O

I fear for Miku....
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.

Woah, Miku you alright? I wonder if she did survive. I think it's highly likely that Maria saved Miku.

Pretty good episode.

Amazing episode!!!

I still don't know why Tsubasa is acting like "I'm a sword therefore i have no feelings" Didn't you said it's good to have a comrade behind your back last season ago??

So they showed Kanade and Ryouko discovering some abandoned ruins. I didn't understand is why didn't they revealed Shenshou Jing in the last season?? At least reference it so once it gets brought up again it'll make sense.

Also who was the girl besides Kanade?!?! Doesn't look like Tsubasa to me :O



While it was smart of Dr. Ver to summon the noise in case the deal turns out to be a trap which happened. At least Maria was able to protect Nastassja.

It's been awhile since we last saw Maria's transformation. Her cape and lancer looks badass as hell :)

Definitely one of my favorite characters in the series along with Chris and Tsubasa :D

WTF Hibiki is falling out of the sky, why couldn't Miku come along with her?!?! She would have saved her from the explosion since she'll carry her along the way.

Doesn't make sense tbh, but we'll see what happens in the next episode.

Can't wait for the next one!!

Does she have to be in free fall to activate her gungir, can’t she just do it while holding onto miku.... guess they needed a super hero landing so what other option is there I guess. I swear

So far, they are wasting Maria's beauty. Her transformation is only alright, and her Symphogear doesn't look sexy. They've barely even shown her armpits! Only in the first episode so far. Sigh.
