Ah nice. Tsubasa gets her shine this episode. She's one of my favorite characters so it's nice to see that!

Felt kind bad for Tsubasa at first by getting her ass kicked but I think her friends (particular Maria) managed to motivate her. I think she shares some good on-screen chemistry with her and they are quite close, at least more than she had thought.

What a boss

And lol, a familiar face spotted.

Literally my face when I saw the ending.
That was unexpected.

Aside from budget issues AND daddy issues, at least we got our favorite hero back, and Tsubasa's new move is glorious.
One more doll to go and we get the serious stuff?

Now seriously, Tsubasa's song with Ignite sounded very badass
So obviously Leiur will get killed by Chris, if I'm not mistaken, Trust Heart might sound cool with the Ignite mix

So basically Tsubasa's 'father' (brother) pushed her away so she'd go be an idol rather than become some kind of weird pawn to her 'grandfather's' (father) sick bloodline scheme. Can't help but think they'd be a better way of doing that. Kind of messed up. idk if it was mentioned before but it would seem grandfather is now dead, since father is head, which I assume happened about 10 yrs ago. Is the mom dead or exiled by the husband or what?
Carol's reaction was great.

So called it (well not like this, but he still appeared). Carol's expression at the end was fucking priceless.

Beyond the Blade (Ignited) sounded really different from the original, unlike Just Loving.

The whole dad relationship unfolded as cliched as cliches go but god this is SYMPHOGEAR!

Overall a good season, somehow they manage to do it with such a low budget.

At this point, the makers of the third season were keen on making every episode have a fucking big cliff-hanger at the end. The episodes have been ending in nothing but cliff-hangers lately. I wonder what's next.

Hmm, but this episode has had pretty heavy tones. Hibiki's dad and Tsubasa's... erm uncle/father.

Actually all the three original mains have had family issues.

For starters, Chris becoming an orphan in a rather violent way (parents getting murdered while doing humanitarian work overseas).
In Hibiki's case, her father abandoned she and her mother at their most time of need, and doesn't seem much remorseful.
In Tsubasa's case, her biological father is actually her grandfather, while whom she thought of her father all along turns out to be her biological uncle. At least, it's shown that he pitied her situation and cared for her as well.

Not uncle, it would make them brother & sister.

Same here. That plot twist at the end.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

>Everything is daijoubu

The whole time Tsubasa was single handedly destroying philosophy I was sitting back in my chair going: This is so dumb... this is sooo dumb... why am I crying lol

Then just as you thought everything was truly diajobu

Does that mean tsubasas step brothers wife is her mother?
Also the intro to the ED is super good and made his second coming super cool.

Could you tell your step-brother's, wife's, daughter's, father's, son's step-sister that I just felt like saying this for fun and is unnecessarily long considering Ive already told you.

I still think the "what?" is a fair reaction, but that's not how I read what happened. Her mother couldn't be her grandfather's daughter. If she was then she would have been mentioned when she talked about her father and uncle both being candidates to take over for her grandfather.

Unless I'm misreading it, the issue is that her grandfather impregnated her father's wife. That of course is a pretty darn sick and creepy thing. So yeah, doesn't change that it's a shocking and terrible act.

Amazing episode!!!

Yeah i feel sorry for Tsubasa. At first i was kinda pissed with her supposed father, but upon learning her past. At least we know why she was treated like that.

At least his supposed father did everything for her dream to come true.

I'm just glad Maria was there for Tsubasa :)

The only thing i was disappointed in this episode is there's a lot of still image. Like when one of Tsubasa's statues. When she transformed the camera just stared that stone and instantly she's with her Symphogear. Same with Maria.

Hope they fix this on BD :D

Holy Shit Dr Ver is back!!!!!!!!!! Sugita!!!!!!!! It seems i always hear Sugita whenever i go. Playing MGSV with Kaz, Symphogear, Gintama as Gin-chan :)

Glad he's back!!! Lol Carol looks mindfucked as hell.

Can't wait for the next episode!!!!

That's bullshit. They might as well had pulled Dr. Ver out of their ass, because there has been no mention of him since last season (last I checked). Can't wait to here the explanation for why he's even there. -_-
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

I don't think i've ever seen a villian so dumbfounded. Not even Aizen when Ichigo simply facepalmed him and took him with him. Carol was at least as "wtf" as Chris and co, or as we as viewers.

While i'm not sure if it makes sense in universe, this was a genious move by the creators.

Besides that: It's interesting that Tsubasa skipped the screaming part there. She also used new moves, so maybe she is finally on par with regular-Hibiki. The later consistently being able to drive back the strongest of the autoscorers without Ignite.

"My grandfather impregnated my mother". That line, that fucking line. I don't know if cry or to laugh. This series is just wonderful.

But the end, oh my God the end. I didn't expected best boy to make such a magnificent reapearence (even if it doesn't has much sense, but, hey, it's Symphogear), this season suddenly looks 10000 times better. Even Carol's face when he appears was precisely, lmao.

I'm a bit bottered by how they are handling the battle against the Autoscorers, It seems they are following this patron:
>Autoscorer X appears
>The heroine fights against the Atoscorer, but she is easily defeated
>Autoscorer X comments how weak they are and retires
>After a brief break, the same Autoscorer appears again and the battles restart
>After some motivational event, the heroine activates Ignite Module
>Autoscorer X is destroyed

Hope they do something different respecting Leiur.
