>Started watching this expecting nothing special.
>Was blown away by how much of a badass Hibiki is.
How can one girl be so based?
Because she Hibikibs it real
She's a miracle.
>>142699310
>>142699310
Is it wrong if I want Hibiki to peg me?
>>142699310
>draw a girl
>have it act like a boy
>call it a girl
>>142699310
Too bad season 3 basically destroys her for the longest time. I hope they handle her better next season.
>>142700425
Since she's the least popular character it's basically already confirmed that she'll be demoted to a secondary character and likely be killed off.
>>142700401
How does she act like a boy, though?
i love sword wing
>Was blown away by how much of a badass Hibiki is.
You may want to skip GX.
>>142699310
>hasn't watched GX
>blown away by how much of a badass Hibiki is
Oh boy.
She's pretty sexy though
>>142699310
watched it couple years ago thanks to this compilation. Wasn't disappointed.
>>142700486
Proper girls don't punch things.
>>142700480
>she's the least popular character
Sauce on that load of bullshit?
>>142701375
Proper girls punch with their pinkies extended.
That sounds like a really bad idea, now that I think about it.
>>142701375
She needs to fight things, what do you want her to do?
>>142701481
Nothing, she's doing fine as a husband.
>>142700567
>>142700717
I'm still mad.
GX is underrated.
>>142699310
Bikkie is hotblooded action hero done right.
>>142701416
Dont worry anon, its complete bullshit.
>Aoi Yuuki character
>unpopular
Shit just doesnt compute
Bikkie is one of the sexiest girls currently in anime. Everything about her personality and her body is just perfect.
>>142702168
This. Why can't all of my action heroes be so charming.
>>142701577
This.
I didn't like how they dealt with Hibiki either, but it was still a fun ride. Also has some of the best songs from the franchise.
>>142701375
And proper boys aren't selfish bitch cunts.
>>142701577
>>142702522
>going against the meme narrative
You don't understand, GX was garbage with no redeeming qualities. Especially compared to G, which was a masterpiece.
>>142699310
>How can one girl be so based?
By having a determination to fist.
>hot as fuck
>cute as fuck
>badass as fuck
Somehow they managed to take three opposing forces and create the perfect balance with Hibiki
It's like she's female Junk Warrior.
>>142703035
She reminds me of a female Mega Man with the peace loving personality and all the gear on.
>>142702897
>G was a masterpiece
I'm pretty sure the meme narrative says S1 was a masterpiece, G was a trainwreck with several great moments and GX was hopelessly bad. Which goes to show that memes are often right. They only got one wrong out of three.
>>142700401
>>142701375
are you fucking stupid man?
>>142699310
Don't watch season 3, it ruins Hibiki as a character.
Reminder that Chris is for gangrape.
>>142699310
I like Hibiki but I love Aoi even more.

Biki is best.
She has an unfortunate third season though.
>>142701375
t. no taste nana fag looking for any excuse to bring best girl down
>>142703080
Nah the original was great
G started shit but ended well and GX started well but ended shit.
>>142704035
Have you heard the the lewd/drunk voice she uses for Shutendoji in Fate/Grand Order?
>>142704511
Typical Bikkifag. Confontational autist whose only arguments are ad hominem and "Ayyuuki tho".
>>142704511
It was a joke friend, Bikki is easily my favorite geah.
>>142704626
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XduO1s61HI
I could sleep to it if it wasn't so lewd.
>>142700567
>>142700717
>>142703148
Elaborate. How bad are we talking?
>>142704889
Bikki spends the majority of the season in bed, and most of her time out of it is either jobbing or daddy issues. Episodes 1, 2 and 6 are great though.
>>142704889
Pretty fucking bad. They decided that they should just repeat her character arc all over again, complete with reseting her character to what it was.
>>142704889
Watch it for yourself. Don't take anon's opinions for granted. A lot of people have a personal vendetta against that season because they feel Hibiki's asshole dad cucked Hibiki out of them.
>>142705145
The face of a man who's not afraid to toy with his daughter's emotions in order to get into her mom's pants again.
>>142705145
No. Her character growth was stunted and restarted. I liked Top Dad if only for the laughs he gave in talkback threads.
You can't blame dissatisfaction on him. It was much more than that.
>>142705322
I can't be the only one who thinks he was one of the best things about GX. Every second he was onscreen was pure gold.
>>142705376
He was great until the show forced undeserved redemption on him and his entire character did a 180.
>>142705376
He had the best introduction.
>random fuck: HOLY SHIT WE GOTTA HELP THESE PEOPLE
>top dad: fuck that shit, i'm outta here
>>142705376
Right until the end when they tried to play off the emotional reunion thing straight, yeah.
Then again he just wanted to pound mama Biki so it all worked out as humour in the end anyway
What a man
>>142705376
I wanted Toshihiko Seki to be at the Symphogear Live last february. Shame it didn't happen.
The butthurt Topdad generates in other people is very entertaining, yes.
>>142705538
>they tried to play off the emotional reunion thing straight
Really? I thought they made it look awkward and uncomfortable, Bikki's mom face said it all.
The only real reason to watch GX
>>142705501
Are you saying Tsubasa is a random fuck?
>>142705630
>>142704889
The main issue is that they start the season with a pretty weak reason for her not want to fight, and, halfway through, when that's solved, they immediately add daddy issues that then only are solved in the finale. So, basically, aside from the first episode, one in the middle and the last one, she's always a ball of angst and whining in GX.
>>142706312
Essentially they downplayed Hibiki so FIS could look good by comparison, instead of making FIS look good by their own merits.
where's the doujin, boys?
>>142706000
People will retroactively like GX once Bikki punches top dad's face in S5.
S1 is overrated.G is underrated.GX is a mystery wrapped in lazy writing (MC too powerful? Meh, just nerf her down with psychological stuff and more powerful enemies using another kind of magic).
>>142704889
The first half is on par with S1, if not better at times.
Just stop watching after episode six.
>>142700504
Fight me.
Believing in justice means believing in the kissu. Don't stop believing, it will happen for sure next season.
>>142705582
Just imagine the riot if Seki went to the live.
How can I marry this fluff?
>>142706821
>Missing GENOCIDE
>AND missing GENOCIDE
Lururira go fuck yourself
>>142705145
GX's problems went far beyond Topdad and Hibiki.
>>142707245
This is disgusting.
CAROL IS BEST GIRL
>>142706670
>G is underrated.
Nah, it's rated fairly. It really wasn't that good.
>>142707386
Reminder that the millions of people Carol killed was an animation error and she literally accomplished nothing.
>>142704889
It's the StrikerS of the franchise
>>142707482
She accomplished CUTE.
Symphogeah?
>>142708050
What happens when it reaches zero?
>>142708261
The built-in safety mechanism cancels their transformation.
>>142705376
Until redemption, he was top tier
>>142708298
How devious.
>>142704871
Does her character do anything substantial in Kamen Rider?
Season 4 will be a Chris and DMJii school slice of life.
>>142700326
Charm point
>>142707482
>she literally accomplished nothing.
She managed to have the best character songs, that's quite the accomplishment.
>>142707386
Best song.
>>142708444
Not 100% caught up (Ghost is really, really bad) but about all she does is play the role of 'hey listen' and explain ghost's powers. Sometimes she gets to be super smug, though, and it's great.
>>142708954
Tachibana Akira did absolutely nothing wrong.
>>142705928
literally the best thing about GX was the dolls.
>>142709302
>>142709302
>>142699310
You may want to skip right to waiting for season 4 then.
>>142709860
Now this is new.
>>142709302
Wasn't there a very of that image where her mouth is put together?
>>142710105
>>142710145
>>142704578
Original started average but then it got awesome. And then it got even more awesome.
G started amazing, then went full retard, then got amazing again while continouing to be retarded.
GX got an amazing first episode but just went downhill from there. Still got some sudden peaks of FUCK YEAH! here and there though.
>>142707482
Wait, what? Seriously?
>>142699310
I hope this thread has taught you not to watch GX if you want to keep your opinion of her.
The only two people alive who liked GX are Kaneko and Zoid.
>>142710878
She still killed a lot of people with her dolls and Noise, they didn't get to magically come back to life.
There was also the people who definitely died when all her Phonic Gain nuked Tokyo.
Miku is my sunshine.
I'm going to marry her. Everything will be okay.
>>142707482
Their pathetic attempt at back tracking aside, she still nuked an entire city. Hibiki didn't save any of them.
>>142710946
Let me at least help a bro out and get the noose for you.
>>142702522
>Someone actually saved my irreconcilably shitty crop.
>>142710933
I know that, but I figure the anon is referring to the part at the end where the deconstruction of the world is happening, and the regular people weren't shown coming back with the buildings.
>>142711175
BDs had them return when Ver reversed the Chateau's deconstruction.
>>142707180
This
Genocide and GENOCIDE redeemed a lot of GX's problems
>>142710969
>Their pathetic attempt at back tracking aside
>there are people who are so new to anime that they can't spot such an obvious error
>in this franchise of all things
>>142711247
No it didn't. It was an amazing song, and the live version blew me away with how well Inorin sang it, but the show was still shit.
>>142711654
>There are people so new to anime that they can't see through thinly veiled attempts at re-writing history because the staff knew they fucked up and needed desperately to change the tone of the finale to damage control
>>142711655
I didn't say all was forgiven I just said it redeemed a LOT of problems. Please note how I didn't say it redeemed EVERYTHING
>>142711700
The delusion is real.
>>142711715
>it redeemed a LOT of problems
How the hell did it redeem anything? It was a good song and it was enjoyable to listen to, but listening to it didn't suddenly make me think "Oh, all that garbage in the story and fucked up pacing kind of makes some more sense now."
>>142711756
You go, oh this finale is less shit than I was expecting. Pair that with the good start and try to ignore the middle and you have something on par with G.
>>142711732
Nah, you're just a retard and couldn't see that they were desperately trying to change the tone surrounding Carol since the ending (poorly) redeemed her. They needed to make her less hateable and they needed to make Hibiki look like less of a failure, so they brought the people back. It wasn't an animation error, because the scene was framed to show that the structures came back, but the people didn't.
>>142711808
>A single good song in a sea of shit means GX was on par with G
What the fuck did I just read?
>>142711821
Does talking about things you obviously know nothing about ever get old for you?
>>142711853
G had a weak as fuck middle mate. Like GX its strength was in the beggaring and the end.
G really isn't that much better than GX honestly. It fucked up way less but it also stood out less. Original is a leap and bound above both but pretending GX is the anti-christ while G was fine is absolutely backwards, faggot.
>>142711856
You realize that you haven't made anything approaching a point, right? All you're doing is parroting that it was an animation error which was the story so it was totally that, even if it didn't look like an animation error at all. GX apologists are literally retarded.
>>142711913
>GX
>Strength was in the end
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You're that idiot who thinks GX wasn't that bad, and G was really bad. I remember you. G is far from perfect, but it's still good. GX is horrible on an entirely different level.
>>142711922
>even if it didn't look like an animation error at all.
Like I said, you're out of your element. You need a new hobby.
>>142711966
>I remember you
I don't think so mate. I think they're equally bad. Which is to say both enjoyable but beneath what the original run setup.
>>142712042
>Which is to say both enjoyable
Yeah, if you think GX was enjoyable overall, you're out of your mind.
>all this implying that GX wasn't the best season
>>142712128
It really wasn't. Especially for Chris.
>>142712016
Retard, they specifically showed the wheelchairs the people were sitting in. The whole point of that was to show that everything but the people came back. They didn't just draw those scenes and happened to forget there were people in them.
>>142712796
You're embarrassing yourself. You clearly never watched the series before CR picked it up and are just trying to fit in by joining the "GX was shit" bandwagon.
GX WAS shit, but you're 100% wrong about this scene, and it isn't making you look very good on this anonymous Tibetan sand sculpture board.
>>142712909
God you're fucking stupid. I've been on board since season one and I've been the damn live show. No, fixing awkward animation is not the same as what they did here. No, you aren't impressing anyone by pretending to be an oldfag. No, you're 100% wrong about this scene. They showed the empty wheelchairs the patients were sitting in, how braindead to you have to be to think that it was an animation error and not intended?
>>142712993
I believe you anon, you are a Symphogear expert.
You've won this internet fight and are right about everything ever for all time.
I liked GX unironically. Better than G and S1.
>>142713065
>If I pretend to be an oldfag and throw out the "you're CRfag" insult, that gives me credibility
>I don't need to actually talk about the context of the scene or the nature of the old BD fixes from season 1
Hopefully next time you won't be such a fucking faggot and realize that pretending to be knowledgeable just because you remember shitposting about Tsubasa and Oogawa walking like cardboard cutouts doesn't make you an expert on the show.
>>142712993
The happy ending very much would imply the world's population didn't get genocided. If so they would have been talking about that rather than some miscellaneous issues in EU, and the happy saccharine SOL would be in bad taste.
Sometimes shitty korean animators are just shitty korean animators.
>>142713182
>world's population
The layline path did not cut up the entire planet.
>and the happy saccharine SOL would be in bad taste.
Right, because they totally mourned the loss of an entire fucking city (their city, at that) during the ending instead of crying about their shitty new friend dying, right?
Please anons, post pictures of best girl.
>>142713459
There can only be one.
>>142713459
Okay.
>>142713459
>>142713459
Best? More like DESSt.
>>142713236
The blast area could reasonably be assumed to have evacuated prior to the phonic nuke. Not so much for the rest of the world that would have suddenly died due to Genocide.
>>142713459
>>142713620
>The blast area could reasonably be assumed to have evacuated prior to the phonic nuke.
There was absolutely nothing to even remotely indicate this. You're getting dangerously close to head canon.
I think you're forgetting that in GX no one gives a shit about your life unless you're a retarded little girl.
>>142699310
I liked this show until it decided to stop being a badass action show and turn into a yuri show for no goddamn reason at all.
I just wanted to see Hibiki punch shit, fuck
>>142713666
>Satan has shit taste
>>142713691
>turn into a yuri show
Nice shitposting.
S1 had the most cuddles and sleeping together and underwear swapping.
>>142713680
>You're getting dangerously close to head canon.
You're getting dangerously close to irony.
>>142713680
That's not anymore headcanon than saying an animation change in the BDs goes against what you wanted to happen.
>>142713747
There was nothing shown to indicate any of what you're saying, even a little bit. You're filling in gaps by saying it's technically possible because they didn't explicitly show it not happening, and then saying that it's not a big deal because they technically might have done that.
Remember, they really don't give a shit when people die. Hibiki walked onto a pile of dead bodies earlier on and didn't even pretend to care.
>>142713791
Fuck off, retard. No one cares that you were stupid enough to buy into the "official story" they gave after changing it.
>>142713838
You shouldn't deny reality, it isn't healthy. The simple fact is that killing 90% of the world goes against the spirit of the show itself. S1 ended with them preventing Fine from wiping out humanity. G ended with them preventing Ver from wiping out humanity. GX ended with them preventing Carol from wiping out humanity. There would be no "happy ending" if there was a global genocide.
>>142714090
>Absolutely retarded
>Mariafag
Checks out. Nothing to see here.
>>142714129
Not an argument.
I love all the gears equally anyways. Trying to imply that I am in a certain group and that makes my case null is bad form and you should try harder.
http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/wunsch
Nice to see these getting translated.
>>142714195
>Not an argument.
Season 1 had them trying their hardest to STOP Fine. Season 2 had them trying their hardest to STOP Ver. Season 3 had them care about nothing other than saving and helping Carol. GX shits all over what the previous seasons did, and only idiots look at it surface level and think it's the same.
>Trying to imply that I am in a certain group and that makes my case null is bad form and you should try harder.
I know this is your first Symphogear thread, but if you do something retarded like post pictures of Maria, then people are going to assume you're a retard. That's called pattern recognition.
>>142714256
>>142714267
You losing the argument and instead resorting to personal attacks to try to shift the conversation into me defending myself makes me think you're a certain other fag who plagues these threads.
>>142714593
>You losing the argument
Didn't happen. You ignoring what happens in the show doesn't suddenly give you a point.
>resorting to personal attacks to try to shift the conversation
Not at all, you're the one who just completely sidestepped the fact that I pointed out you were only able to compare the series at a surface level and utterly failed to dig any deeper into what contrasts them. Shitting on you for poor taste is just extra.
I hope you see the irony in your whining about me being mean instead of addressing your "point" while ignoring the point in my post. If you're going to complain that someone was mean and hurt your feelings while completely ignoring their point, then you want reddit, not 4chan.
>Everyone who calls me a retard is one person
Literally the stupidest posters on this board.
>>142713459
>>142714256
It's nice that someone is finally getting around to these.
>>142713691
But it's the opposite. Started out looking like just a yuribait series and gradually became about punching things and explosions..
>>142714301
Is Chris a cuck?
>>142715100
Only if you're a fag who thought she was into sword.
She is too pure. Plus her times full with mentoring the new blood.

>>142715100
No, if anything Chris has to fight off all the raging lesbians after her hide with a stick.

Probably. She's literally a cheap facsimile, both in geah and in vapid characterisation.
She adds nothing to the show in either department that another character doesn't do 10 times better.

Sword and Chris play mentor roles and could do it while furthering the story. Maria is just dead air.
I wish she was relegated to cameo or out of the show. She serves absolutely no purpose.
I mean really. Her only contribution outside of her own bullshit is being a foil for swords adult life. Chris took over her mentor to the youngsters role.
Worst character.
>>142708806
Everything is her charm point. Everything.
>>142718966
Miku geah was fine. On the other hand she's better as a civi character for Biki to bounce off, only occasionally getting directly involved in supernatural hijinks

>daddy loving slut

>>142719237
Hibiki and Miku are just good friends
>>142719436
Hey now let's not make enemies. Those are big words coming from someone who thinks themost blacked character on the show who was passed around as a child slave is best girl
>>142719196
Almost certainly Gariefags mad she effortlessly defeated their FOTM waifu.
>>142719361
Chris is definitely best girl, but DESS has been growing on me since the end of G.
I don't know how long I can stay faithful.
>>142719503
Because Dess is a cute, a CUTE.
Autoscorers was the best thing in GX
Actually I really liked the villains more then the hero cast
DORKS
So how do people actually like this series. Its got the shitiest writing I've ever seen in a show, and its pretty much a constant stream of shitty tropes.
Why do so many anons actually like this? I really don't want to be a shitposter but I'm generally curious.
>>142719073
I love both! Would add those and Exterminate to the top three.
>>142713148
me too. but mostly because i like shows with villains i like. Carol GENOCIDE and the dolls are the best.
>>142719196
Of what?
>>142711655
There's a recording of the live floating around?
>>142719664
Of Maria being the best.
>>142719599
That outfit is the lewdest thing in Symphogear.
>>142719712
Why is DESS so lewd?
>>142719712
Civvies had no bra.
>>142719637
a gathering of good seiyuu singers in one show along with tokusatsu magical girls is more than enough for some to keep watching. the writing is not groundbreaking but enough to fulfill its purpose of featuring the girls.
>>142719749
>>142719768
If it weren't for that Kirika doujin, I'd go insane.
Being this lewd should be illegal.
>>142719685
If that floats your boat then good on you.
>>142705322
Why is Samurai flamenco in this show?
>>142720076
>Charcarol
Would DESS make a good rock dog?
>>142712128
It can't be the best because they didn't give Docking Drill an attack card. They also forgot to give Caroru EXTERMINATE.
I hope we get to see this again.

Did you fucking forget that she's the first ever relic user?
If anything, Kanade might be the one who copied the idea.

I'm somewhat indiferent to DMJii but Shul Shagana and Igalima were great songs.
Symphogear GXZ when?

But I need it now!

After GXXX.
So, am I in a minority for liking GX more than G?
>>142721564
A minority of good taste, potentially. What is your opinion of Maria
>>142721585
As useful as Italy to Hitler during the WW2.
>>142721682
Perfect. Welcome aboard

I liked it more than G too, although I do think it should have been 24 episodes.
13 episodes simply wasn't enough for what they wanted to do with the season and it really shows (for example leiur's "little" sister barely did anything and died without a real fight which was a real disappointment)

Think of the wasted "personal issue" episode.

Yup, only a Bikifag could be that dumb.
