saw some extremely good friends off last night with a hang-out and a Symphogear episode and y'know I just really admire that show. Any lesbian shonen action series whose ethos is "let's be The Most Anime every single episode" has won my heart.

the sheer audacity to open an episode with a singing competition and close it with a girl getting her arm bitten off and eaten by a monster in front of the Tower of Babel

something homosexual is going on here,

breaking lull of inactivity to offer symphogear propaganda because I was thinking about them today and think the show is pretty cool ( ◠‿◠ )

I've only watched up to the 4th season so far but I wanna continue watching it someday!!

I'm torn because half of me wants to be happy HibiMiku got this many votes even if they're behind

But then the other half feels kinda bad because they only got this many thanks to a bunch of people voting just to spite YoI for "ruining the yuri tag"

Oh well, time for the ol' 2 second edit again

The Anime Binge-Watcher's Queer Anime Ship Tournament!

The second round rages on! This match-up has me absolutely terrified that my number-one pick is going to be crushed by the titan that is Victuuri. But I can hold out hope, right? Right??? Cast your votes now!

It's the 5th anniversary of the last episode of Symphogear, have some Xtreme Vibes

[alltheoutsinfreeeee]

Yessss!!! Especially the line about how she became able to pull along the people who clasped her hands!!!

Everytime I hear Take this! "All Loaded" I get overcome by a feeling of pride for this angry snowball. She came so far!! 😭

Fellow Symphogear enjoyers, do you all also constantly think about how "Take This! All Loaded!" represents an immense evolution for Chris because its lyrics are all about how thanks to the bonds and love she shares with her friends she now has the power to move beyond her past and to protect those she loves by exploding whoever tries to hurt them, or are you all normal?

besties just calling each other things like "My Sunshine" and "My Shining Sun", nothing to see here

hello symphogear nation

[soulhalberder]

Hibiki is a great character because she refuses to stop seeing the humanity in everyone and that canonically makes her the single most powerful symphogear user. She realizes she has incredible power and her first thought is to continue to help and save people, even if she doesn’t know how, even at personal cost to herself. She announces herself to Chris in a 1 minute monologue giving her basically all of her personal info to try and get her to open up, and is genuinely super excited when she finds out the name of the person who has tried to kill and kidnap her. She never wants to fight and this always throws off her enemies she meets for the first time, and even her allies to the point that they often agree with each other more that they should be trying to kick each others butts rather than deal with the weird unarmed person trying to get everyone to talk.

And when they keep adamantly refusing to talk, she’ll hit harder than anyone else empowered by the power of friendship to get them to actually talk. And then still treat them with dignity and humanity because people have to look out for one another.

She’s also in the running for the character who’s gone through the most shit but is still a good person because she has a great support network in the form of all her friends, girlfriend, and good father figure (her actual dad is a complicated relationship).

And this is the person who kills gods.

Symphogear’s great.
