| hmm should i rate it 6 or 7 wasn't all that bad but the story was kind of bland, the ending was WAY to predictable (wonder if the first scene has something to do with this) so yeah i had some good parts and bad parts so for now i'll go with a 6. could have been done better imo |
| Oh my god. Words cannot describe how terrible this show was. Especially that ending. No... just no. |
| Wow when Hibiki grasped control of the Durandal, I was amazed. She owned Fine! I give this 8/10. Is there goin to be a live action movie? At the end, I saw the word "live". |
| I don't understand anything that happened in this show. |

| This is actually an anime I would have preferred to have a sad ending. Everything just feels awkward now. |

| So glad they all ended up surviving! :D I'm glad I didn't give up hope that Hibiki would live and surprise all 3 of them survive. |
 |
| Holy fuck that was an action packed pile of complete and utter shit. How did...? What just..... ='( |
| main thing: also but i can live with those things, its just an anime, still enjoyed it.  |

| what the fuck was this shit? i feel stupid for getting trolled in the end 6/10 for a series which its only good episode was the first one and i will miss Chris boobs. |
 |
| Didn't pay much attention to this series at least I didn't use fast forward when watching it. 6/10 from me. |
| . |
| They should've stayed dead. And Yuuki Aoi should stop using that disgusting nasally raspy Madoka/Hibiki voice. 6/10 |
 |
| Haters Gonna Hate. Gonna give it a 10/10 cause I loved every minute of it. |
| OK ending I guess... Anyway that final trolling of all girls surviving made this just a OK ending otherwise a might consider as a good ending... This series was good for the first few episodes.. And then become too predictable, cliche in the latter. Episode - 3.5/5 Series - 7/10 |
 |
| Well this series was a lot better than i expected, especially along the second half of the show. Undoubtedly Chris is the best character for me, shes just so cute at time, beautiful at times, looks weak sometimes that just makes u wanna hug her and her voice was really beautiful, also her sympohgear just rocks. Good series, great fighting, awesome last episode, good characters and great songs(except Hibiki's), so overall a 8/10 P.S. The fight where the three of them vs like a million noise was badass totally BADASS, i fangasm-ed at that moment |

| I..dont really know what should i rate it, i dont normally rate animes below their average score. I was going to give it a 6, the plot is messy, the ending is not that good, but i had to admit i loved the OP and ED. And the insert songs and bgm were just simply amazing. Only if they could improve the quality of the show.. Well. 8/10. |
on 
| Goddamnit!!! Every single episode of Symphogear should've looked like this. I've had goosebumps all the time. But seriously, she pulled the moon...what the actual f*ck? O_o I give it 6/10 for 3,14 Megatons of wasted potential and 4 good songs. |

| The girls should of stayed dead so it would have been a bittersweet ending. Like what the hell, Tsubasa survived singing her swan song twice. Chrissie survived singing her swan song twice. Hibiki survived singing hers. Kanade died immediately after singing hers. Overall this series is a 7.5/10 The singing that saved them in episode 12 was cheesy, but the action has always been great once you go used to the style. The singing from Tsubasa and Chrissie is pretty good. Hibiki overall pissed me off, her character design was one of the worst I've seen in a while, her voice was a little annoying. Her resolve was the only redeemable trait about her that made me able to stand her. Show was enjoyable though and some of the suspense and scenes were well played out at times. It was a good series to watch every week and I looked forward to seeing what happened next so I'm glad I watched it, despite the plot holes and extremely cheesy moments. /end rant |

| Judging from the majority of the comments, I think this anime falls under the "so bad, it's good" category. This last episode was so full of what the fuck that I couldn't help but enjoy it. And the whole ending just completely sealed the deal: "The world sucks, people are dying, but it's okay because WE HAVE SONGS!!!11!one!" I'm glad it's over, and I'm not recommending that anyone watch it, but I can't say I didn't look forward to each new ridiculous episode. Also, did anybody else want Miku to pick up Durandal or something and just wreck shit? She literally did nothing but cry the entire series. Chris was probably the best character in the whole thing... when Fine/Ryoko crumbled into dust, I teared up for her. |
razisgosu said: Solkiskey said: Finally finished this. Was going to rate it a 5 but that ending just totally ruined it. It's kind of hard to take you seriously when your rated anime makes absolutely no sense.... Seems to me like you just put a random number next to your completed series. He has once again prove that he is a hater. |
| Pfrt. This show would really be better with all of them being actually death, making it more sense. Or at least Hibiki. Really. First they reincarnate, then they sort of die again and then they are still alive? Good lord, go watch Mawaru Penguindrum, that's better than this. I really don't know what's so good about this show. The only thing that I really liked was, well, Kanade, and Tsubasa grew also on me, but Hibiki... Ugh. It's the same old plot with befriend your enemy and oh yes, actually one of our staff is schizophrenic stuff. At least the rage-mode about Hibiki was nice. I liked it when she still couldn't use her Symphogear properly. Guess I won't be able to rate this reasonably for a while, so I am being fair and will put it at a 6 for the moment. Oh yes, best thing: killing the moon. I totally laughed my socks off when I first saw it. Oh dear, I really put all of my thoughts in this. |

| The anime itself wasn't that bad and it wasn't great it was interesting in a way and the ending was terrible. There was so much of everything but not enough to make this anime bad just allot of raw emotions but not in a way that the viewer would start feeling them. Still the main character had a very nice and appealing personality which was something that kept me watching. Chris violent nature was worth watching as well. |
| ...if they were going to bring them back to life they could of at least put one single line in there about HOW. Unfortunately this show never really took off plot wise but the soundtracks that came from it was definitely worth it. |
| Ugh that ending was just.... I really really liked this show in the beginning. Probably was right after the hibiki/chris fight finished when the show rly just sank fast with a few sprinkled good fights here and there. Worst though was that ending ... good lord that was awful. Was so chock full of "Friendship Powerups" and other sappy stuffs to make me wanna retch. blegh Edit: Honestly I didn't really even like the new powerups... thought their normal suits n weapons were way cooler and the music in this episode was mega lame... sigh what a waste o potential |

| Few maxims have done as much harm as, "Children should be seen and not heard." |
| I love almost everything on this anime except Hibiki and THAT ENDING!!! seriously, the ending trolled me . . . and I'd love it more if Hibiki died . . . :p |
| Well, for what I was expecting out of the show, it really outdid itself. There was some sort of decent animation going on and big weapons (this is what I looked forward to the most in this show cause I don't know what else to look for!). Kinda enjoyable ending. I should use this strategy to enjoy all anime! (i.e. drop expectations to almost nothing) Of course they were gonna live though. If they didn't live, it would almost not make sense (sense in Symphogear). Silly excuse to have Miku not know Hibiki was still alive, but whatever. |
| IaMP with me. |
| I don't think that the ending was bad but I think it would be better if they were really dead. |

ahmed_great2005 said: I don't think that the ending was bad but I think it would be better if they were really dead. I think it may have been the moment when Chris sang her Swan song (which used to be fatal), got blasted by a laser that destroyed part of the moon, and fell back down to earth, only to come back without so much as scratch that I thought to myself that these characters could never die. The fact she survived was no no surprise at all, to be honest I think it's better that they did survive, because a serious ending didn't suit Symphogear at all. This ending, where Miku finds out that everyone has told her her best friends are dead for 3 months for no reason suits the anime much better. Why was there such an ass pull? I can tell you, at the beginning of the series, they really did intend to kill Hibiki, however, as the series went on and they realized that no one was taking it very seriously, they decided that it would be detrimental to the series if she died. This was supposed to be serious, but it turned out to be light hearted fun. Obviously, with them so blatantly declaring Hibiki's death in epiosde 1, it was hard for them to have make her live in a way they made sense. That's why they lied to Miku for 3 months for no reason, telling her Hibiki was dead. As I said before, I'd be fucking pissed at how they hid it from me, especially how they reveal they are all alive in a casual manner. But that's Symphogear, stupidity at it's best. |
| I don't understand anything about this show. Plot holes are everywhere. I enjoyed it but meh. A terrible enjoyable show. (wait wut?) That's all. |
| "Kindness can bring you even bigger troubles." - Akemi Homura[/right] |
| hmm, I think there's one HUGE problem with this show, they spent so much hype about how using too much power would kill ya, but out of 7 swan songs in the show (3 Tsubasa, 2 Chris, 1 Hibiki and 1 from what's her name in the first ep) only 1 of them was fatal... WTF? |
| I honestly enjoyed the blending of magical idol and magical girl warrior subgenres of magical girl. I can't help but feeling that this was a 26 episode show jammed into 13 episodes. I really think doubling the episode count would have removed a lot of issues with characterization and plot. |
     |
| For me ,this anime was worth to watch just because of the seiyuus and their songs, Mizuki nana & Ayahi Takagaki are great and I know Yuuki Aoi sings way better than how they made her sing here!. So I hope the live gets a BD!. Boring fights and not enough deaths & yuri so I'll give it a 7/10 . (I was going to give it an 8 but Hibiki remained alive -3-) |
 |
| Unexpected happy ending lol I liked the fights so... 7/10 |
 |
| I don't know what has gotten into me, but for the last few episodes the show didn't seem to be utterly ridiculous. I'm glad the ending snapped me out of it. Originally wanted to give it a 4/10, but some of the fight scenes and the music was enjoyable, and I liked Yukine too, so a generous 5/10. |
| Suddenly Durandal disappeared just so they can make this fake as fake can be climax? And the distance between Earth and Space suddenly seemed so small. I don't know. The number of face palming and illogical things just made it very bad for me. 4/10 I suppose. |

| nearly teared up at Tachibana singing her swan song. I would've avoided this type of anime but I really enjoyed the songs, so now to search for all the songs. 8) |
| Nekomimi~ |
| Hahaha! This show was so badly made that it was actually fan watching it if that makes any sense. And the ending was even more badly made to put a nice finish to the whole joke. I have to admit though that in a way it was kind of fun so i will give it a 5. |
| Omg Hibiki, I was almost soooo soo flipping pissed at you, goodness fucking gracious, omggg. What the hell??D; Thank goodness everyone was okay though, damn! That was crazy! But I gotta say, through all the trolls in this anime, I really did enjoy it~~ Long live Mecha Music Magical Girls!~♥ |
  |
| Lol we got trolled or the producers got a lot of negative feedback regarding the possible ''bad end'' so they changed it. So only Kanade died in the end... hmmm... *Facepalm* That's all there is to say about t his show. |
 |
| ahahaha so hibiki lied to miku again after all. anyways 8/10 great animation. |
| Thinking about it, the reason Kanade died the way she did was because she was incompatible with symphogear and had to force it to work. Everyone else's worked naturally so they only went into critical condition after their swan song, whereas Kanada who was incompatible just crumbled away. Because of this, the resurrection song the classmates sang activated the gear upgrades and the healing of Chris and Tsubasa. They were probably critical when they fell from space after their song but somehow managed to be restored. Since they fully synched with their gears in the end perhaps the damage wasn't as bad because the compatibility rates were so high. |
| The last few episodes kinda sucks . i m a little dissatisfied , first of all NOT ENOUGH SINGING. If your gonna sing everytime you fight MAKE SURE YOU SING EVERYTIME YOU FIGHT. Also Previous episode you died AND REVIVED, this episode you died AND REVIVED. A bit too repetitive, seeing as SOMEONE died in the first episode and didnt revive . Overall i hated the starting and hated the ending but the middle was really well done and i felt totally into the story.SOOOO 7/10 . |
Awesome Sig by Lailide |
| this anime was terrible, and the people that made it should feel terrible. nobody dies. way ridiculous overpowered symphogears. noise = pointless and irrelevent. SINGING = INCREASED MAGIC POWERS!!!! the main character was such a freaking idiot. oh sure let's forgive the enemy too. rip off chunks of the moon? eh who cares some stupid girls can save everything with no negative effects. why the hell was Miku crying? it was obvious nothing can happen to the main girls. nothing. this is a 4 for being BAD at best. I feel like giving it a 3 for being TERRIBLE. |
