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.

Well I'm a bit disappointed by the very end of the episode since

Spoiler for ending of the series:

But apart from that, I really enjoyed this series

The raw has been out for a while now...

Anyway, I hope all the songs not in the albums released so far make it to an OST or something....

Gods, no other show this season has that much epicness contained in it

Lol Tachibana...ever gentle to your enemy to the end....

Midonin · 2012-03-31, 23:45

Most likely they'll come with the DVDs.

Well, 8/10 of the episode is all battles, 1/10 of it is talking and ending, and the last 1/10 of it is Gundam Char's Counterattack parody.(Axis/Moon drop, and the destruction/reconnection of the Moon/Axis.(Makes me wonder whether Amuro really K.I.A))

I remember there is 1 show where the protagonist is gentle to the antagonist...

I'm curious that this show is part of the Gundam franchise.

InternHertz .lone..... Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Brussels, Belgium Age: 39	Well I'm a bit disappointed by the very end of the episode since Spoiler for ending of the series: Hibiki didn't die, and I really think that for drama reasons, she should have stayed "dead" like we were led to believe in the first episode. But of course she had to keep radio silence a second time just to fool us... But apart from that, I really enjoyed this series

JaLooNz Longtime Member Join Date: Nov 2003	Spoiler for episode 13: Woah... they really pumped up the action by 1000x in this episode... haven't really seen this sort of berserk things around in ages. The budget for this episode seems to be exceptionally high. But the audio is still out-of-sync.

Difference:Amuro pushed back Axis at the cost of his life.(Newtype Pressure), whereas Hibiki and co. blasted the moon with Swan Song and yet survived it. Proven:You do not need gundams..., and Char=Fine...

SagaraSouske Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007	Spoiler: Imo, they should have the resurrection of of Tsubasa and Chris tied to Hibiki's life and all three should have gone out in a bang in Swan song to destroy the moon fragment. Then the ending should be with another fragment awakening within Miku and have her inherit the synphogear and end it that way. __________________ Last edited by SagaraSouske; 2012-03-31 at 13:45.
