Two epic birthdays in one day!

[bluesakura007]

I technically made Dess Another Day in particular all the way back in December last year, but nonetheless, here I now present to you the complete Sympho-movie tetralogy.

So happy about the Symphogear XDU shutdown announcement because maybe now we’ll finally get something good for the franchise

Which gears do you think would have kids first (if any) and what kinds of parents do you think they'd be?

Hibiki and Miku would 100% have a kid and would be the most wonderful and caring parents ever.

I don't think Tsubasa and Maria would have any kids but they would absolutely be everyone's favorite cool double-income aunts who unleash the gift reckoning every Christmas.

Shirabe and Kirika could go either way for me. If they did have a kid I think Kirika would not be the most responsible of parents but she would be a very cool and fun one. Shirabe would have to be the reasonable killjoy member of the family by stopping both the kid and Kirika from doing anything too stupid.

Chris would be a very awkward but caring parent in her own way but also... She's teaching any kid she's in charge of every single swear word she can think of for the fun and chaos of it...

What do you guys think the plot of the Symphogear movie will be like? Personally, I'm on board with a next gen idea, but I know a lot of others aren't, so I wanna see other ideas

[cutepresea]

Okay so in terms of Armed Fantasia, Kaneko's first story draft is currently being revised by Sekiya in order for a fresh set of eyes to be looking at it (also giving NPCs names in the process)

...and Kaneko was giggling at a video of snake fireworks, idk

Upcoming Magical Girl Projects

Magical girl fans are finally eating good after years of starvation. So good, in fact, that I decided to make a list of magical girl projects in development. This is a continually updating list whose history can be found here.

Mahou Tsukai Precure: Mirai Days - A new installment in the Precure franchise, Mirai Days will serve as a sequel to Mahou Tsukai, the thirteenth season. Set a few months after the season's epilogue, Mirai Days has the Cures reunite in order to face a threat against time itself. Premiering January 11, 2025.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie - Walpurgisnacht Rising - The fourth PMMM movie, which will pick up where Rebellion's massive cliffhanger left off. While originally slated for late 2024, it has since been delayed to winter 2025.

Cute High Earth Defense Club Eternal Love! - The magical boy series is getting a new movie in winter 2025 as part of the celebrations for its 10th anniversary. The movie will be a time travel story that picks up a decade after the original series.

You and Idol Precure - The 22nd season of the Precure franchise, You and Idol will replace the currently airing Wonderful Precure sometime in winter 2025. While no plot details beyond the season's theme of idols, the team and mascots' designs have since been leaked. According to listings on Tokullectibles, the team's names are (L -> R) Cure Ink, Cure Idol, and Cure Kyun Kyun.

Maebashi Witches - A TV original production by Sunrise, Maebashi Witches is a coming of age story focused on a quintet of high schoolers who are approached by a strange and mysterious frog named Keroppe, who recruits them to become the titular group. Now working in a magical flower shop, the girls use the "Witchverse" pocket dimension to grant people's wishes with the power of song and dance. Has the same writer as Bocchi the Rock (Erika Yoshida) and is premiering spring 2025.

Princession Orchestra - A TV original coming in spring 2025, Princession Orchestra is based on a concept by Akifumi Kaneko, one of Symphogear's co-creators. The land of Alicepia's peace is destroyed when monsters called Jammerwocks attack, prompting a trio of young girls to step up the plate to protect the realm.

Winx Club - The western magical girl classic is getting a CGI reboot. While comments by Iginio Straffi imply that certain characters who were introduced later in the original series (such as Roxy and Nabu) will appear earlier, no specific plot details have been revealed so far. The series is coming to Netflix late 2025.

New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt - Panty & Stocking is getting a second season after over a decade that's coming out sometime in 2025. A teaser trailer confirmed the OG voice cast's return and announced the production staff, but plot details are still unclear.

Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. season two - Magilumiere is getting a second season, which was announced after the broadcast of season one's finale. No other details have been revealed.

Untitled Symphogear movie - A new Symphogear movie was announced in late 2023. However, no further details have been revealed.

Hua Xianzi: Zhi Mofa Xiang Dui Lun - A co-production between Tencent Video and Toei Animation's Shanghai branch, this anime is being billed as a "remake" of Lunlun the Flower Fairy. The heroine is Rumi, an apprentice at a homemade perfume studio who awakens as a Flower Child due to the power of a family heirloom. She's tasked with collecting and purifying the Rainbow Flower's scattered petals, only to clash with another Flower Child along the way and discover the surprising past of her feline mentor/sidekick.

Studio Pierrot's new anime - Studio Pierrot, which has made a variety of magical girl anime from TV originals like Creamy Mami to adaptations such as Tokyo Mew Mew, has announced that they're creating a new TV original magical girl anime. No specific details have been disclosed, but the caption for the teaser image ("I want you to sing once more...") implies that it'll be a magical idol anime.

Lolirock season three - After Lolirock's second season ended with a cliffhanger all the way back in 2017, it seemed like the story would never get a proper conclusion. However, the series's creator and director, Jean-Louis Vandestoc, announced on his Instagram in 2023 that creative meetings for a third season have begun.

Magic Knight Rayearth revival - TMS Entertainment is making a new Magic Knight Rayearth anime in honor of the franchise's 30th anniversary. Unfortunately, it's currently unknown what the format will be.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance - A new installment in the seminal Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchise, this will be a new TV anime to celebrate the series's 20th anniversary. No other details are confirmed, but it will presumably be connected to the upcoming EXCEEDS manga that will begin in 2025.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card season two - The sequel to the magical girl classic is getting a second season that will adapt the rest of the manga.

Magical Girl holoWitches - A multimedia project starring six VTubers as fictionalized versions of themselves who work as both streamers and magical girls who save people when they get trapped in the magical Holocas World. There was a four minute extended trailer in May 2024, but the anime's proper premiere date is unknown.

I Don't Want to Be a Magical Girl - An indie project by Kiana Khansmith, which follows the story of a burnt out magical girl named Aika. While she ran away from her duties in pursuit of a normal life, her position as a Protagonist™ causes her to get dragged into adventures anyway. Khansmith is currently hard at work on the pilot, which has a voice cast consisting of Anairis Quinones, Bennett Abara, Christine Marie Cabanos, Aleks Le, Shara Kirby, Michele Knotz, and Marieve Herington.

New Ojamajo Doremi thing - As part of the celebrations for the franchise's 25th anniversary, Toei Animation released two new music videos for the series' 1st OP and 4th ED with the promise that a new project will be made if the videos reach a combined 5 million views. This goal has since been met. Due to the girls being adults in the videos, the new project will presumably be an adaptation of the Ojamajo Doremi 16-20's sequel series of light novels.

[mahou-furbies]

what are some of the magical girl shows coming out soon that you know of? which are you looking forward to and which do you think you might skip?

Here's a list of upcoming magical girl works from last summer, the earliest are already out but to my knowledge it's pretty accurate for the future.

My take on the list:

The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies - my closing thoughts are here

Mermaid Magic - might watch at some point but it's not a high priority

Acro Trip, Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc, The Story of the Girl Who Couldn’t Become a Wizard - currently watching, I'll write my thoughts once they end

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie - must watch, though it'll probably take a while for it to be available since it's a movie

Mahou Tsukai Precure: Mirai Days - definitely watching this one too

Princess Session Orchestra - contains idols which is extremely meh to me, but otherwise appears mahou enough for my tastes and the designs are great, so looking forward to this

Winx Club - probably won't watch, unless I get motivated to watch all of the winx franchise

Project Symphogear Next - idols + character designs too mecha + haven't seen anything else from this franchise = skip for me, but maybe I'll check it out one day

Hua Xianzi: Zhi Mofa Xiang Dui Lun - I know very little about Chinese animation or the original Lun Lun so dunno about this one

Studio Pierrot’s new anime - seems like idols again...

Lolirock season three - haven't seen the previous two seasons so I'd have to watch them first. Wait this has idols too??

Magic Knight Rayearth revival - definitely watching this one

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card season two - I haven't seen any CCS anime and didn't particularly like the manga, though I feel like I'll get to it at some point

Magical Girl holoWitches - cute designs, but streamers/vtubers as a theme is about as appealing to me as idols. Might take a look depending on what kind of format this will be.

Ojamajo Doremi 16-20’s - I think it's still unknown what format this will be? In any case I'd prefer to finish watching all the original Doremi anime first.

Also:

Kimi to Idol Precure - idols again... but I'll watch it

A second season for Magical Girl Raising Project has been announced ages ago and it's the anime I'm looking forward to the most on this post, but I'm not too hopeful on it coming out soon (if ever...) since things have been so quiet on that front

I'll also watch the Panty & Stocking sequel, though its schedule is also unknown.

[sg-x00-airgetlam]

Got a perfect survey because I understood a movie reference a customer made and was able to make my own back. Symphogear was right, movies have all the answers.

[charactersmashorpass-2]

"He might look like a meathead - and he can be in some ways - but he's also a warm, gentle man who knows how to treat all the traumatized teen girls in Symphogear differently and does his level best to be a father figure to whatever degree they need him to be. If you ask him for training he'll hone you without pushing you too hard, but his ultimate training method is watching and imitating kung-fu movies anyways."

[aparticularbandit]

....

>.>;;;;;

So there are four additional seasons.

There's just something about a show that opens on a scene of a character visiting the grave of another character and then flashing back to the rest of the show and the dead character is the protagonist.

You know they are going to die.

You KNOW they are going to die.

(And the theme song does NOT HELP with this.)

The show is all about them.

And they are going to die.

Man, there's just something about it.
