I'm gonna watch SYMPHOGEAR and this time I'm gonna try to LIKE it instead of treating it like a half-hearted hatewatch

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:21 AM

I wonder how old Tsubasa is

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:21 AM

I'm getting Anime Adult vibes from her so like at least 18

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:21 AM

I've seen like 3 or 4 episodes before but it was years ago

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:21 AM

so I'm starting from scratch

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:22 AM

Kanade, that's the other one

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:22 AM

I think Tsubasa is like 19? maybe a bit younger in season one

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:23 AM

idols

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:23 AM

but I'm down for it because the music has a good vibe

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:23 AM

it's making me think less love live and more macross

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:26 AM

aliens have come to... oh theis crowd is fucking dying huh

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:26 AM

oh a child just died

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:27 AM

eh, I've seen hornier outfits/transformations

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:28 AM

I like how they handle attack names

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:28 AM

no name shouting, just big batman punch text

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:28 AM

I will say in its undefense, the outfits and transformations get markedly more horny after season one, which I'm not a huge fan of but anime gonna anime

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:28 AM

of course they do

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:28 AM

the attack name freeze frames are fucking awesome though and only get more awesome

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:29 AM

and then the protag looking girl mcfcuking died

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:30 AM

OK

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:30 AM

following the talk from a previous plurk

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:30 AM

Tsubasa is 17 when the series starts and 19 by the last season

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:30 AM

I definitely think Swan Song is the best of the translation options

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:31 AM

oh that just ended the fight huh

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:31 AM

bye kanade

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:32 AM

okay that is hibiki

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:32 AM

I thought so

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:32 AM

and her roommate, hatsune miku

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:33 AM

not inaccurate

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:33 AM

do you guys only own one bed

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:34 AM

here we go, the real stars of the show

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:34 AM

the Useless Gun Guys

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:36 AM

Hibiki/Miku actually have a bunk bed (lower bed is curtained) they just choose to sleep in one bed for Gal Pal reasons

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:36 AM

normal platonic reasons to share a single bed when you have two, you know

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:37 AM

oh everyone's dead again

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:37 AM

Hibiki is a good girl

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:43 AM

The OP suggests that Miku is going to be in trouble this season

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:44 AM

Hibiki's not great at this yet

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:45 AM

hey Tsubasa how much did that motorcycle cost

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:45 AM

you didn't need to explode it

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:45 AM

She goes through a lot of them

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:46 AM

symphogear runs on a combination of anime logic and action movie logic, so therefore

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:46 AM

vehicles exist to explode

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:47 AM

Hibiki can now be proud

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:47 AM

she has saved more innocent lives than 99% of the people on earth

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:50 AM

OK so the MIBs just

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:50 AM

handcuffed Hibiki, abducted her

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:50 AM

took her to her secret base

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:50 AM

then went "surprise! you're not in trouble at all welcome to the team"

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:50 AM

and took the handcuffs off

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:51 AM

bruh

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:51 AM

don't handcuff her in the first case

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:51 AM

There are no smiles here

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:51 AM

knowing via spoilers that the zany predatory lesbian is actually evil makes her easier to endure

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:51 AM

I want to say the handcuffs were Tsubasa, who got to make the call out on the field and is kind of a dick early on

DehydratedWater

@TehMags

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:52 AM

yeah it's definitely Tsubasa's idea

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:53 AM

but also yes the zany predatory lesbian was easier to handle in retrospect even just like WHEW, IT WAS ACTUALLY A SIGN SHE'S NOT GREAT INSTEAD OF JUST A CHARACTER GIMMICK WE HAVE TO ACCEPT

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:53 AM

just a couple of good friends cuddling in the same bed

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:53 AM

how's that PTSD going, Tsubasa

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:53 AM

pretty good it doesn't seem

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:57 AM

so wait it's been 2 years since the concert massacre

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:58 AM

so is Tsubasa 17 or 19 now

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:59 AM

17

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:59 AM

ok

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:59 AM

so she was 15 when kanade died

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 2:59 AM

hecked up

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:01 AM

I keep getting distracted by Hibiki's extremely tall eyes

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:01 AM

everone else's irises are circles, hers are twice as tall as they are wide

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:06 AM

Meteoroid-falling, burning, disappear, and then...

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:06 AM

is a weird tagline

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:09 AM

None of them top “Hold a determination to fist”

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:10 AM

Tsubasa is being kind of unreasonable to Hibiki, for understandable reasons

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:10 AM

oh my god she can do a rider kick that's also a giant sword with jet engines

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:11 AM

Get Some Therapy

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:13 AM

She doesn’t need therapy she has swords

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:13 AM

I feel like the swords make therapy MUCH more urgent

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:14 AM

Nah she’s fine

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:14 AM

Perfectly fine

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:25 AM

blah

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:26 AM

I'll deal with it just

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:26 AM

I hate how berserker hibiki is drawn

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:26 AM

where her head is black and everything else is normal

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:26 AM

it just looks so bad

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:28 AM

thankfully they change that up later anyway

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:30 AM

okay cool

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:41 AM

hey tsubasa

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:42 AM

that's not a good place for blood to come out

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:42 AM

Her Nendoroid has that as one of her faces

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:43 AM

sometimes blood just wants to be on the outside rather than inside

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:44 AM

inside is where blood is supposed to live

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:45 AM

anyway I dunno how I feel about the translation of the big ultimate song attack because “swan song” has some finality to it

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:45 AM

And it’s not neccessarily always fatal

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:45 AM

so I'm learning

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:45 AM

when I said swan song was my favorite I was assuming it was always fatal

Cold XC

@UltraDude

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:46 AM

Outside blood, inside blood. It's like cats.

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:46 AM

Nah. Part of it is having enough phonic gain and compatiblity with ones Symphogear

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:47 AM

Kanade was a special case

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:47 AM

in that sense, climax song does make sense

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:51 AM

so I'm guessing that

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:51 AM

the writer of Symphogear really likes classic action movies

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:51 AM

and the chief is in that sense kind of a self insert

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:52 AM

I love the chief, and I say this as somebody who only likes the best of the best male characters

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:52 AM

when it did the training montage and got to the shot of the chief and hibiki both trying to imitate bruce lee poses I did a smile

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:53 AM

"Strike like you've been eating lightning and crushing thunder!" Maybe tell her something concrete about her form

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:53 AM

no? ok well it seems to have worked

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:55 AM

this sure is some english

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:56 AM

why are you naked

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:56 AM

The thing is Miyuki Sawashiro speaks English very well

Tyra

@Tyranno

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:56 AM

So this lady using all that is 100 % intentional on the writers part

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:57 AM

oh this scene is very uncomfortable

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 3:57 AM

I do not like it

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:05 AM

oh THAT scene

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:05 AM

yeah....................... yeah,

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:09 AM

the noise are kind of boring antagonists but fortunately there are other antagonists

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:11 AM

Hibiki kicking her heels off to fight better

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:12 AM

I bet you have to do some crazy core training to be able to sing while anime fighting

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:13 AM

I think what kills the berserker mode thing is that her mouth still has totally normal lighting

Cute Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Jul 1, 2021 4:13 AM

so it looks like she has a black bag over her head with holes poked into it
