He meant it won't start with a concert scene like the first 3 did. The first episode always has a concert. There will be a concert scene much later in the season.

@PhoenixRising I didn't know one was cast. I hope he's different from Fine and is an enemy of Saint Germain. He definitely cleaning up Fine's mess on his own and probably doesn't ally with S.O.N.G. (forgot what the initial mean) til later. In previous seasons, we didn't get to Fine before she went "nuts" and having someone close to her would give clarify how she end up like "this". Also he can't be her lover cuz she loves God some much. I really thought the name would the Italian word for "beginning" since Fine means "end".

PhoenixRising · 2017-06-10, 18:57

The Genjuro's Angels Blog translated all of the background text on the Official Website and one of the phrases written into the background was "The man behind the curtain", so there is at least a man involved and apparently according to the interview with Kaneko - Adam Wesihaupt (who is apparently connected to the Illuminati - not confirmed) was mentioned in G.

But, what I was also implying is that the mysterious guy might be the God that she loves so much or at least one of the Custodians. It is possible that the Custodians may have left Observers behind to blend into society to wait until the time has come to come back and communicate with humanity. Considering if he is a Custodian, they might have a long enough life spam to live for thousands of years.

However on a side note, what really concerns me are is that while some of the words written on the background wallpaper relate to the Sacrists themselves, I'm more worried about the phrases "You, who are stained with the original sin" and "A sacrifice that will become the foundation" line. I'm kind of nervous that there might be a death this season, since this one seems more serious than the others.

Additionally, I'm also actually okay with not having a concert this season, because Tsubasa is still building her career overseas at this point.

Yeah, losing the first episode concert isn't the biggest crisis in the world

. Mostly since then they won't be required to have another concert being directly or indirectly attacked. Any more of that and frankly people are going to stop asking Tsubasa to sing at their venues...Though that they won't really try to surpass season 3's first episode shuttle suplex is a bit sad

.

I'm just looking forward to this getting started and seeing how it will play out.

It is a bit sad, but I can understand their thinking and its mostly to make up for last season. Since in GX, the first 6 episodes were so action-packed that from beginning to end, there was hardly any light heartwarming stuff in between them.

So maybe they wanted to have a slow start to make up for the lack of normal everyday stuff in GX.

That could be the thinking. Have a slower start to the season to allow more character moments and light-hearted stuff. You can always build up to excitement. I don't think a quick start hurt G. Although I suppose the difference there is that the main characters weren't constantly on the defensive like in GX. They were on more even footing with their enemies. They had more time to breathe between major fights.

But the main cast continues to get larger. Might not hurt to try something different.

It will be very hard to top punching a damn mountain while carrying a space shuttle but I have hope. As long as it doesn't deal with issues like a friggin train wreck like GX did with its family issues I am looking forward to it. I'll even overlook no concert scene in ep1

Random Wanderer · 2017-06-14, 02:05

As long as they remember to not unjustifiably regress anyone's character development it will be fine with me. Also I'd like for them to more tightly integrate the character arcs with the plot, the way they did in seasons 1 and 2.

If any series could find a way to keep making their intro more epic, it would be this one.

Marina2 · 2017-06-14, 20:49

I just hope they will make Miku join the fight group rather than just staying behind, acting as Hibiki's emotional supporter.

It would be cool to have her get into the fight. But...it'd be a surprise if they went there. The only time she actually fought with a gear was when she was brainwashed/doped up on Linker. Even in S2 she seemed pretty content to sit back and let Hibiki rush off into an ungodly dangerous situation after she was no longer dying from her condition

.

I think there were two ways they could have gone with her after S2. Either she really didn't want to fight again after the whole creepily being controlled thing. Or she decided to find a way to fight that wasn't just running around and throwing relics through dimensional portals

. I'm just not sure after S3 there is any sign of her wanting to join the others on the front lines. Though hey it wouldn't be the first case of inconsistent writing for the franchise

Another PV is out

Eisdrache · 2017-06-26, 08:00

Noise are back?! My understanding was that they all died in the explosion of solomon's cane and the treasury of babylon. Probably arcanoise. They really love these enemies. Aside of that heck yeah GX transformation scenes. Hibiki got the obligatory drill punch while Chris expanded her arsenal to bows.

They're not Noise, they're Alca-Noise. You can tell because they're being summoned with alchemy and they dissolve into a red mist when defeated.

That's clearly a new transformation scene that's taking design cues from both her G and GX transformation scenes.

Eisdrache · 2017-06-26, 08:18

Yeah I had to look up the name, that's why I only edited in later ._. The transformation seems highly similar to GX though. After double-checking the part when Hibiki is standing in the circle is literally copied from G. I stand corrected. Not that I have any complaints.

Random Wanderer · 2017-06-26, 14:09

Of course the Alca-Noise are back. Gotta have minions for the girls to fight, as well as some reason to keep Genjuro from entering the battle and taking out the enemy in one punch.

FlareKnight · 2017-06-26, 14:58

Definitely getting excited to see this season arrive. If nothing else I mean Hibiki's a drill punch

. Also appreciate seeing Chris bring back that bow attack. And who knows maybe this season she'll be allowed to shoot her sniper rifle

.

Certainly expected the Alca-Noise back. Part of the nature of the show is having mass minions for the girls to unleash crazy attacks into. Though seems like we'll at least occasionally get some unusual threats to break that up. Like that giant creature wrecking havoc in the PV.

Always need some excuse that's for sure. Or else Genjuro and their resident Ninja really could take care of most threats

.

PhoenixRising · 2017-06-26, 21:38

I'm definitely excited for this season too. I love the new transformation sequences, the new opening, Hibiki's Drill Arm and the fact that it looks like it is being set in another country.

FlareKnight · 2017-07-01, 12:37

And so it begins....the wait for someone to sub this.

But, too much hype for me to fully wait for that. So I'll just watch without subs

.

Spoiler for Ep1:

xizro345 · 2017-07-01, 13:29

If this is the definition of "slow" Kaneko had in mind, I don't want to know what "fast" is. Also, cliffhanger as usual, eh?

That was an interesting definition of slow

. But it was accurate about the concert thing. We might not survive when the show really kicks into gear.

Symphogear and cliffhangers. They shall remain united. Though the series has had more extreme cliffhangers than this.

So I'll just watch without subs . Spoiler for Ep1: Thank you years of watching anime to allow me to stumble my way through this episode and still know what is going on . There is a lot I liked in this episode. And I think it is a good sign that there isn't anything that worries me even by the end unlike GX's first episode. No random and odd breakdowns of character. Instead we're seemingly getting something I wanted last season, good focus on Chris! It is fair to dig into the trauma of what happened to her in that country years ago. We've tackled how she felt about her parents (who I still think are morons for taking a kid into a war zone), her guilt over Solomon's cane, and finding her place in semi-normal life. But, this lets us go back to what made her willing to cooperate with Fine in the first place. Ugly war and deaths in this country, seemingly the same one her parents died in (oh coincidence). But yeah this was a great start. I mean Symphogear fighting against armies and alca noise (those are getting spread around as weapons to various groups) and heck of Ogawa getting to fight ninja style . This was just plain fun and I'm really hoping this season is one of the strongest we've had yet for the series. Now if only someone will pick it up and add subs! __________________ Anime-Evo
