Well, final thoughts.
It has been an enjoyable ride, after all. I wasn't expecting anything deep but just something fun, and it delivered IMO. Certain characters, no matter how cliche, stand really out (Genjuro, among others) and the flow of the story is generally good.
Downsides: the production issues that really hampered the animation quality, even the last episode has parts that clearly couldn't be completed in time. The fact that the series was reduced to just 13 episodes and the script had to rewritten is another issue, as certain plot points had to be introduced really fast (and I suspect Fine's motives had to be shoehorned in the dialogue due to this).
Still, the result is positive. The songs are generally nice, and the VAs do a good job (yes, even Aoi Yuki as Hibiki).
Would Symphogear win any awards? Nope. Is it a fun series, just to watch something entertaining? I think so.
