| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another good episode. This one quite differentiated itself from the other ones once again. It featured what was never done before in a most amazing cooperation of Hibiki/Chris/Tsubasa. Chris was not only MOE in this episode with Genjurou giving her another nice hug but she got another nice move in the following,  MEGA DETH QUARTET so I read it as in the spoiler OMG what a twist in the following,  Looks like Ryoko got betrayed with apparently the same guys that killed off the Minister. USA conspiracy smells high in that one. About the fan service, for now I will say that it just keeps impressing me of how poses can be quite ecchi and awkward in fights yet somewhat not bothering. Such as Tsubasa in the spoiler Conclusion, well the triple fight was certainly paramount and intense I find. The singing intermingling was not bad and gave a total variation not seen in this series yet. Symphogear once again propelled itself further in new elements coming out. Moreover it gave out a new sense in cooperation during a fight with 3 Symphogears. To that effect I think the end of Vol 5 Bds may prove most interesting provided some things are improved like those pesky frames that suck. May edit later. BTW Image Stitches done in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=412291 Nice ones of Hibiki and Chris. GIFs done in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=412293 Nice firing and blasting with those missiles of Chris. |

| Ryoko might die soon but not after killing the soldiers that were sent to kill her, I knew she was up to no good when I seen the blood stained suitcase containing the program for the sword and how she recovered it, not to mention the Symophogear power she used to shield Hibiki from Chris when she first fought Hibiki, there would have been no way she have got that alive without working with the US. Double agent much. Noise carriers, what a dilemma they are quite the shapeshifters, good thing Chris destroyed most of them and all of the aerial units with Megadeth Quartet, look at those missiles. Hibiki destroyed the first carrier after transforming midair. The cooperation was spectacular and all are friends well somewhat, Chris is still being her kuudere self. oh shit Miku's in trouble, hopefully the story won't go the opposite way and kill Miku off instead of Hibiki. |

Ryoko being the double agent was about the worst kept secret ever. Yet, it still was somehow hilariously kept for 5 episodes. Miku being inevitably targeted was another one of those "of course" cliched moments. Still all in all it was a great episode. I love the fact this episode was all about molesting Chris with hugs and fondling to get her out of her bitchy loner mood. |
| Well this episode confirms that Ryoko was the one communicating with the American guy (BTW, dat English again). Nice to see Chris cooperating with Hibiki and Tsubasa, though still feeling reluctant afterwards. Also seeing Chris blushing is quite cute. Now to see what kind of trouble Miku has gotten into... |
 |
| Dat Engrish - but it's kind of tradition here :D and after explosion no panic... just some motivational talk while rest of agents probably started to cry, quit jobs and going to fulfill their dreams of becoming shepperds of clowns Mothra is also there... ok this time Noises were quite good I must say and they are all friends now awwwww <3 but it was a nice episode still there is not so much time to tell what are Noises (or was it?) and what is that conspiracy, except being evil and using unique version of English |
| Chris for best Symphogear confirmed and her main song is my favorite. I loved the action scene even with the friendship bonding moments breaking up the action, quite touching. But with Ryoko Sakurai essentially the antagonist, I wonder if she has been summoning the noise? Is she also a Symphogear, the scene when she healed herself like it was fused to her like the parts are fused to Hibiki? |

| That English... XD |
| I loved Chris's song at the end. Bye Ryoko, nice knowing ya! |
| Nice Engrish to start off and I really liked Chris in this episode.Ryoko was always someone i always had doubts about...but i wonder wats gonna happen to her now |
| Love Chris's song. She totally rocks! |

| Well, I suppose it was nice episode... I have the feeling the next episode had some interest plot. |

| Good episode,engrish??? The start made me lol with that engrish at least now is sure that Ryoko its the antagonist if any one had a doubt yet. Chris joins the team that made me happy her song is awesome and finally let the hate that she had for her parents go....dont cry CHRIS!!! The battle as always was good and liked how they work together. Next episode its seems the school is being attack....plot moves!! |
| Oh my fucking god... Those first 10min with that horrendous, incoherent excuse of "English" combined with the sudden, uncalled pathetic /cry moment from Chris was enough to leave anyone with the feeling of blowing their brains out -.-' And if that 'heihachi' dudes brutish, heroic strength is only explained by "martial arts" I'm going to be seriously annoyed^^ Make Hibiki spend the night with Miku then give her Duranda and let her lose on an uncontrolled noise killing spree to make this show a bit more entertaining.... losing hope here. Also for all gun/Chris lovers here, ranged combat are for weak cowards, real honourable warriors fight face to face in melee. |

| The ending fight was cool but the English part was kind of meh. |

| it was a decent episode ,all 3 worked together and we got to hear chris's lovely voice ^^ |
 |
| Cool episode! Now tell me who searched up "Kadingir" after hearing Miku that she searched it on net & only found walkthroughs of games? |

ahmed_great2005 said: I did to confirm somethings further. Now tell me who searched up "Kadingir" after hearing Miku that she searched it on net & only found walkthroughs of games? I came up with: KADINGIR= Gateway of the Gods Source: http://www.ping.de/sites/systemcoder/necro/info/sumerian.htm which really is a dictionary of the Sumerian language. Ryoko had to wrong. It's more of something being a means for a Gateway of the Gods. Essentially the following reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babylon is what should have been inferred. The tower part might not be clear to some people. Now it should be more. Looks like the anime is taking loads of elements from Babylon and Sumerian myths. |
| Oh god shit's hitting the fan but at least they got Chris on board now. Now on to the school. D: |
 |
| It's funny how they only subtly hinted that Fine = Ryoko before, and now right off the bat we see Ryoko in Fine's "castle" doing bad guy job. Seriously. It was great to see Chris' development, she's a good character, i can't not like her. Shit got real at the end, looking forward to next fighto, possibly more Ryoko as Fine. |

| I hope they are NOT saving the plot for another season. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| For one episode, Kanade did not appear at all... Sad. |
| So is Ryoko actually Fin? Because I dont think they have ever beem shown in the same time frame. Miku getting attacked was really predictable. Most likely Hibiki will die in the battle against Ryoko to protect Miku, whenever that is. I have a feeling Chris might sacrifice herself too, kind of like Kyoko in Madoka Magica. |
| This episode was just filled with the most corniest tropes ever. |

Wasabi said: This episode was just filled with the most corniest tropes ever. You took the words right out of my mouth. It's a shame I'm dropping this with less than 3 episodes to go. The dialogue was just terrible. The characters have done entire 180s. I'm usually not so critical of anime and dialogue, but the mixture of seriousness and light hearted "we're all friends now" doesn't work at all for me. The series: 5/10. The music and concept is great. Everything else, not so much. |

Digglett said: Redfoxoffire said: MM-Rosiie said: That English... XD That was English? Nope, it was Engrish. I don't think that even counted as Engrish. I agree. Usually when they put English they are correct grammatically but the accent is so strange you don't get anything. This was just a bundle of thrown English words that fail to even form a coherent sentence along with the terrible accent. Btw Hibiki please stop singing, my ears are bleeding. Let the other two girls to that. Btw still a little too tsundere but she's probably the most sexy girl and now she's kind of sweet. Cool firepower also. |
| Does anyone have info on what name Chris' song is? |
| Why am I even still watching this? haha That Engrish was beyond painful. |
| Dat Engrish... couldn't understand a thing... |
 |
| Some things to acknowledge: The engrish - OMG I love it so much. Megadeth Quartet - *Dislike Button* It's certainly awesome to see her summon so much power at once but talk about a slap in the face to those of us who wanted to see a fight last more than 2 minutes. "We need to protect Chris while she charges!" "No, don't worry about it, she'll be done in like 10 seconds". That fight fell far below my expectations and I'm just realizing that more and more the more I think about it. My guess for the next episode! - Earlier in the series Ryoko taught Hibiki why the base under Lydian was so safe. She explained how deep it went and briefly compared it to an inverted tower. Bingo! The Noise Bombers were a decoy positioned at a locale far away from Lydian giving her enough time to breach HQ and get things ready. But! Awaiting Ryoko's return is none other than Genjurou himself and now we get some real action as he holds her off long enough for our heroines to return and finish her off, leaving Ryoko's plans foiled, bringing this story to an end. However, leaving a truckload of our questions unanswered, the writers retain Tons of breathing room with which they begin work on the next season! I hope there's another season, I really am enjoying the show. |
| "So, I get that when someone from Japan speaks flawed English, it's Engrish, but what do you call it when someone from the US speaks flawed Japanese?" -TheConnerBoi. |
| More something of the thing of which we think it should be some kind of English language, woohoo! Even reading the Japanese subs underneath it should make more sense then that. Yay, Chris joined... |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Painful ending there and it's decided: Chris is officially a tsundere now. |
 |
| wut da fuq at that engrish? oh god the main character girl is still so annoying. |
 |
| I was waiting for something like this to happen, this episode really raised my hopes of the series since the last couple of episodes weren't very good imo. It's been quite a while since I've been looking forward to more, but I need to wait for the subs first. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Nice they might all become friends. Good episode. |
 |
| Hell yeah! You rock Chris!!! XD And damn, the schools getting attacked :O |
| Woh these cliffhangers are so good! Really nice development and I was right about Fine being Ryoko Sakurai, pretty epic development I must say, and now that Chris also joined things will only get better and better, so lets see what's next! |
 |
| (rewatching) That engrish at the beginning was so bad I couldn't help but laugh. Thankfully, I had subs for that. Team symphogear finally has all 3 members. Love Chris and her big guns! |
  |
| I have no idea how Ryoko survived multiple gunshots, but I'm glad she's not dead. This episode was kind of confusing to follow imo. Also Chris really needs to chill out. She's way too stubborn! Anyway, Hibiki's holding hands thing was really corny :p I hope Miku and the other students are safe :( |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I knew Ryoko was no good. That hug that Genjuurou gave to Chris. Chris was being tsudere this episode, lol. Uh oh, what happened to Miku at the end? Good episode. |
| This show has come a long way since the first 3 episodes thats for sure, I think its ever since Hibiki became useful its made the show 10x better, plus Chris got introduced and she is the best character in this show, Period. |
