The Symphogear Live 2020 → 2022 event announced on Sunday a new project. Their official Twitter also revealed an announcement promo.

The action female idol franchise, written by Akifumi Kaneko and Noriyasu Agematsu, aired its first anime season in 13 episodes in Winter 2012, which was produced by Satelight and Encourage Films. Satelight animated four other sequels in the Summer of 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019.

Dan Yoshii began writing a manga adaptation from December 2011 to March 2013 in Newtype Ace. Kadokawa shipped the third and final volume in July 2013.

I wonder if this will have the old cast, or if this will have a completely new cast. Excited to see what this project is going to be like.

I was actually wondering why they waiting so long for continuation? Symphogear is incredibly popular in Japan.
The longest gap between seasons was two years.
Is COVID to blame?

Dunno, man. Main antagonist of entire franchise was Talk no Jutsu'd in two or so sentences like it's nothing by our Mary Sue.
But there is still a potential for Yellow Thing to somehow redeem herself in potential 6th season. I can see the sequel happening.
But I'm afraid they just go with "three villainess coming out of nowhere and Yellow Thing Talk no Jutsuing them" for like fourth time in a row.
They could also explore Adam and Fine waging war against Shem-ha or Tsubasa's and Kanade's adventures. Anything without this blonde bimbo would be a dream come true.

I mean, why...? Not sure where it can go from where it ended. Or how they could possibly keep up making every episode dumber than the previous as they somehow managed ever since Fine revealed her plans in the first season...

Maybe they will go the Gundam and Precure route and just start churning out different timelines with a new cast lol. But joking aside, I'll go for a movie with a "real true final".

yeah maybe, after last season ended there were rumors that a movie was in production but nothing came of it
at this rate, they'll go full dragon ball z and make super powerful enemies just for the sake of it. I don't think the yellow thing will ever be redeemed, we're in the minority, symphogear fans just like the action, transformations, songs and screaming. There are so few who actually care about the overall plot :((

I remember XV was oficially announced to be the final season. I highly doubt this new project is going to be a continuation of that (unless they make it a movie, which is also cool). It's either going to be an alternate timeline, or a new story with a new cast.

Regardless though, I'm very excited. Symphogear is one of my favorite anime of all time.

Nervous. I'm down for more Symphogear, but I can only see the ending getting less satisfying. I all but got what I wanted last time and now they're gonna worm their way out of it again.

Weird, because I happen to have exact opposite impression.
I was so frustrated, that it gave me real case of PTED. Ever since I've been praying for proper sequel.

LoL bruh. It has nothing to do with yuri nor romance.
While we're at it, it was pretty clear since beginning, that it is not yuri show.

The fact that this pseudo vampire cunt wasn't killed in the most brutal way possible and didn't went away kicking and screaming was very frustrating. She did not even apologise, went through any sort of redemption process or in any way conveyed that she realizes what she did was wrong.
What she had done and how this Yellow Thing immediately wanted to befriend her after finding out about her murdering 100k innocent people still haunts me.

Hopefully it's a new story with new characters are there isn't any need for more sequels to the original, just keep Nana as the OP singer.

Look forward to Hibiki decapitating every villain in season 6, I guess.

Yea, that would at least give her some personality.

The only franchise which managed to increase its sales over the course of five seasons. I'm happy we'll be getting more, but I don't know what it'll be. XV ended on an almost perfect note.

The ending of XV was perfect and they said it was final season. My hope is to have new set of characters, VAs and singers. High risk move, but I really would love to see Symphogear try to go that way.

I'm surprised you're the first to write about yuri here. Despite being primarily an all-female musical franchise for the Japanese, Western fandom is more or less made up of yuri fanboys and fangirls, to whom everything else is secondary.

OMG YES!! I really hope this is a sequel with Hibiki and the gang as the protagonists and not a completely new story with new characters (I wouldn't mind if Hibiki made new friends tho xD). Either way, this is wonderful news and I'm happy that Symphogear isn't over!!

Honestly what I would love the most is for this new project to somehow adapt the stories from the Symphogear XD game. After all Fate turned Fate Grand Order into an anime as well, so maybe Symphogear could do the same? Would love to see that alternative version of Hibiki (from the world where Miku didn't exist) appear in the anime!

I would actually love to see Kaede being protagonist along with Tsubasa.
Something that was literally advertised in the very first PV ten years ago.

FGO is actually a completely new timeline with endless possibilities to create new characters and new stories. Something similar happens with Madoka mobile game. I'm not sure if the Symphogear game is on the same meta level.

Symphogear gets so nonsense bonkers that they could honestly just do anything despite how final the last season may have seemed. Something from space, another time, some hidden entity that had always been watching? Who cares. Just give me more. This is an excellent action series.
