Nice, an all out fight this episode that wasted no time between the two sides. We got Hibiki, Tsubasa, Kirika, etc all fighting the good fight.

The antagonists this epsiode are not fooling around. I'm really curious to see what else they plan to do with Elfnein this season.

ELF9 KILLING IT! I can't wait for next week. Getting the autoscorers back, even for a moment, made me so happy. I couldn't stop smiling during this episode.

Loved it/5

Sweet Madoka, I was not expecting that level of GX fan service in one episode. I mean as a huge fan of GX's villains this was practically Christmas 5 times over in the span of what felt like a 2 minute episode as I was flailing around in excitement and squealing in excitement in a pitch I didn't know I could hit. Move aside GX, XV has usurped you as my favorite season. Now all XV has to do is stick the landing with a stupidly over the top ending that puts Gurren Lagaan to shame. This is probably the only series that I could think that has the ability to be more stupidly over the top than Gurren. Please don't let this be the only time we see the autoscorers again.
Like it or not, these four years of high school will really fly by. How you spend them is up to you. You can focus on your studies, do your best at sports, or goof off the entire time. Everything goes. The most important thing is that, for the four years you spend in this school, you enjoy yourself each and every day. Fun makes might! Fun makes right! And fun is infinite! Over the next four years, eat, sleep, and enjoy yourselves to your heart’s content. That is all! Sweet! I just said something cool! I said something cool… right?

Sweet mother of Fine, I have had mixed feelings about this season for the past few episodes. But I think this just might have turned it all around for me.

I have very mixed feelings about the return of Carol and the Autoscorers, but I can't say that I'm not entertained.

Elfnein stepping up to the plate is epic on a number of levels, although if I were to genuinely complain about one thing in this episode, it would be the idea that the Relic Dur da Bla is somehow still intact for Carol/Elfnein to use. That thing absolutely got blown to high heaven in the GX finale.

But I digress, I'm going to enjoy Carol's new song very much.

Did not expect Garie, Leiur, Micha, Phara, and... also Carol to be back!! But the autoscorers do not seem to be as strong when they were antagonists in GX? Maybe because the bodies they have now are just scraps.

Wow, and Carol still have that harp relic. Is she going to be as strong as her GX form?

The AutoScorerers coming back was actually a really nice twist and unexpected although i always like the autoscorers abit as villains back in GX really cool that they brought them back to fight again, A shame that they were defeated being scrapped bodies and all but all in all great episode including 2 fights on 2 sides of the battlefield with Hibiki, Tsubasa, Chris, Kirika, Shirabe and Maria side being the first and then Elfnein/Carol's Side, Really cool transformation from Elfnein/Carol and nice barrel plug from Vanessa VS Chris 10/10 episode. Really enjoying that the season is constantly revisiting the last 4 seasons and making good practical uses for unexpected moments.

Oh boi another episode another essay thoughts XD.

Another really solid episode loved that flashback for Hibiki and Miku that was pure HIBIMIKU action right there. I swear it wouldnt suprise me in the slightest if they get together by the end (Which would make a fuck ton of people happy).

Hibiki's amazing save was epic. Im curious how that divine power damaged her to the point of collapsing. I wonder if we'll get a Hibiki and Miku resonate scene since they're both unconscious.

Now the big thing of the episode which is probably why people are freaking out. The return of Carol and the Autoscorers. Ok I've always hated the idea of Symphogear bringing back characters for XV just cause I don't want XV to literally be "Symphogear XV: The callback" but I'll have to admit it was pretty epic seeing the Autoscorers Vs Shit Red. I have to admit as well that the layout of the layout of the fight was very generic with the whole one person stays behind the others run. When you think about it you can clearly tell this was just fanservice which can be excused this once since it was cool. My only concern with this is I REALLY hope they don't do this more like with every Symphogear villain coming back for a cameo. Leave it at one epic moment.

Again Milaarc being a dick but thats nothing new. We are now clearly seeing Shit Red being full on villains with their arguing over who will kill Elfnein. I like and hate this. I like it cause it means they've ditched the stupid idea of Shit Red being redeemable but hate it cause well they're dicks XD.

Im looking forward to seeing what will happen between Hibiki and Miku cause they both want to make up and are dreaming about eachother so Im getting the feeling there will be some sort of resonance between them.

The news about Maria's song frankly Im glad to hear as its just the song itself that is the focus and not "Oh Maria has some sort of bullshit power we never mentioned". Not being a Maria fan thats probably just my hatrid talking.

Overall another great episode I havent had any major complaints in quite a while which is good. Cant wait for the next episode.

Cutting the Tangled Thread

Or: Symphogear GX Fanservice 101

How do I even begin with the my reaction?

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty happy with this episode. We get to see some old characters come back and more of the Divine Temple 2.0 parts that we missed in GX.

Now we know what really happen to Carol and Auto dolls.

5 major plot points got me shocked this week.

1. Miku’s mind was merged with the Custodian gauntlet

2. The music from last week was the same as Maria’s Apple

3. The GX Autoscorers are back.

4. Carol Malus Dienheim freaking comes back and shows her old character line ‘‘miracle are sin and i’ll murder them’‘

5. That cliffhanger.

I also feel like the more I watch this series, the more detached I feel toward it since this is the last season. But I haven’t said anything about being mad or anything. Because I wanna enjoy the last 6 episode that have lelt to ask me how will this show or season end.

I will admit that Carol creating those auto-dolls spare parts felt like some last minute twist to come back after 4 years of being trapped in another body.

That new ending theme tho.

Next Week: Carol is gonna bring the smackdown on some cult gals whom takenover the fortress.

Well, I, for sure, didn't expect at all the reappearance of Carol and the Autoscorers. I'm still processing what happened.
Noble Red really needs to step their game, they were overshadowed first by Saint Germain and now by Carol. If they don't get an upgrade soon, they are going to end as the lamest antagonist group of the series

Genjūrō finally realized that there might be something wrong with Tsubasa. Since this is the 1st time she verbally mentioned Kanade's name. Maybe they can stop it before the grandfather can take Tsubasa to his side..... unless Tsubasa's been secretly meeting with him behind the scenes.

Oh damn. Carol was like "Don't even try!" She's awakening!

Kirika again? Oh...they added the Season 1 clip...good.

Look at Kirika parrying all those attacks.

"Fatal Chains Star Money" Excuse me? Where is that from? And why so many horse noises!?

Hmm...that "diamond" on the Annunaki's head looks very similar to the one on Maria's Airgetlamh...

Well now...Maria's "Apple" has a lot more significance that we thought...After thinking about it, what if the "Apple" in question refers to the forbidden fruit that Eve took at the Garden of Eden?

"Because you're the only one I can fully give myself to." PHRASING!

Vanessa has a super vibrating right hand...

PHARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE AUTOSCORERS ARE BACK!!!! LET'S GO!!!!!!!

"Twice in one day!" Lol Vanessa. So much for that vibrating hand...

"She's too much of a handful, so I used my foot instead." Wow...these writers...

Well the Autoscorers were short-lived, but I guess they fulfilled their purpose of sacrificing themselves to allow Carol to awaken with an all-new transformation to boot. Noble Red is going to have quite the struggle here hehehe. Well the pieces are slowly coming together, so all we can do now is wait..again!

Also, I wonder if this revelation is the reason why we still didn't get a Carol or autoscorer card in XD. Well after this episode, they better do it now!

Wow this episode has a lot of GX reference especially when Millaarc is about o take down Elfnein, Carol was against that and stand up, the autoscorers are back but for a little time but still protect her even she was in Carols body was thankfully great, and Elfnein transformation wow that took me surprise. Now our dear "miracle murderer" Carol Malus Dienheim is back.

Also please I wasn't the only one who thinks about Giygas when I see the cocoon XD.

I, for one, welcome back our GX overl...erm, villains? Yeah, I welcome them back. And I'm not even mad, the moment Carol stopped Milaarc from doing any more damage to Elfnein's mind I immediately called that she was coming back. The Autoscorers coming back as well was just the cherry on the cake. This episode right here is a prime example of why I love Symphogear.

So, I both love and hate this season.

What i love is pretty much how dark this season is, but i also hate it.

So them adding fanservice of past villians coming back really makes me happy.

I hope we do rememeber that Nobel Red isnt the big villian. They are basically just puppets if I understood it correctly.

One thing i miss is Hibiki's Berserk mode (As i like to call it). But thats just me.

Still this episode makes me excited for the next episode.

Anyways thats just my thoughts.

So basically this episode turned my thoughts around about this season.

I have a feeling that just like how the autoscorers are weaker than their previous selves in GX.. Carol strength would also be nerfed in some way to balance things out. If it's the same power level of Carol boss character from GX, Nobel Red won't really stand a chance.

I'm astonished with what I've just witnessed from this episode. I was hoping that one day Carol would ever return once more in the Symphogear series (give her a reason to possibly return) and when I thought all hope is lost, this just happened. My eyes opened wide when I heard Carol's voice at the beginning while Millarc was trying to mentally damage Elfnein. Then I waited in the episode and continued watching, and to my surprise, the Autoscorers have returned to save Elfnein! Unfortunately, they've been nerfed because of their damaged bodies. The moment I watched Elfnein switch into Carol after her awakening and showing off that gorgeous transformation gave me goosebumps! And that was one of the most badass lines I've seen from this season at the end of the episode!

What a cliffhanger! Symphogear GX was my favorite season but XV has exceeded my expectations! Can't the next episode arrive any quicker?! ;w; If this is finally the chance for Carol to fight as one of the good guys, then I'm absolutely all for it! <3

Yeah it is clearly fanservice which is why I hope they don't do it again so they can focus on XV's plot.

Also Hibiki needs longer berserk scenes. They last literally 2 minutes and it sucks cause they rock.

This is how you do fanservice right!

Man i never really was all that into the autoscorers thing and so on, but i've REALLY been loving how this season has been taking it's time to retrace it's steps and build upon and use stuff that is already present, instead of shoehorning all kinds of arbitrary villains conveniently in order one afteranother for each season without any sort of logic behind it all.

They spent the time to step back from the total absurdities they weer going to prior and bringing it back down some more into the nitty gritty of the early seasons, as well as giving all kinds of possibilities and outcomes to think about pertaining to past events and lore to keep you busy and mind cookin. Tossing in a surprise like this was really nice, as it was well foreshadowed and so on.

While it is still Symphogear, the one we all know and love for being over the top, they're still working at it to keep it real quality entertainment. I've also mentioned this before i think, but the combat choreography is still bar-none, the animation is still fantastic. It amazing how they put so much into such quick action sequences and have it all make sense and be animated so fluidly even with all their bizarre weapons and abilities... this is what action shows are supposed to be!
