(CR) Senki Zesshou Symphogear G (Season 2)

[Ledgem]

Took a few days, but caught up after watching the first season and the episodes released for the second season. This entire series (both seasons) isn't anything profound, but it's still a fun watch.

[Deltaray]

I don't think if I can handle all these twists, this is too much.

Spoiler for Episode 7:

The new episode's development is really surprising to watch. Hibiki reaches a new level of human/relic hybrid combination. Unfortunately, things get serious with side-effects introduced with new details. Other than that, Kirika and Shirabe's power-up techniques are really amazing to watch! Too bad I'm really worried about what will Hibiki's fate be like. With the recent events, I was really projected into Hibiki's life and death situation and that's really shocking. I really don't know what should I do for her health, that's too spontaneous as hell. Even Miku, Tsubasa and Chris are worried about her too. However in the end, I'm shocked on how Kirika will react to such dangerous situations by using her own shield to protect Shirabe. Let's see what will the remaining 5 episodes will develop into the new cataclysmic territory into plot points.

[Marina2]

Ah...yeah just read the comment from people who watched live stream

Spoiler for Ep.7 Big spoiler:

Kirika IS Fine.

Wow....you surprised me again, Symphogear.

[Miraluka]

Can't say didn't see that coming, now we have an excuse to kill Maria's friends.

Spoiler for The live stage incident and Hibiki's family:

ライブ会場の惨劇と立花家

本編より約２年前。
ツヴァイウィングの公演中に認定特異災害ノイズが大量発生した一件。
Exactly 2 year before the current timeline.
The accident of mass generation of noise during a performance of Zwei Wing.

その場には、観客、関係者あわせて１０万を超える人間が居合わせており、
死者、行方不明者の総数が、１２８７４人にのぼる大惨事であった。
これだけでも他に例を見ない規模の事故であったが、
悲劇はここで終わらず、さらに連鎖していく。
In that place, the audience, with their friend more than 100,000 was in that place
Total number of dead, missing person, was a catastrophe amounting to 12874 people.
Although This alone was an accident of scale unparalleled,
The Tragedy do not end here, it will continue to chain further into another tragedy

被害者の総数１２８７４人のうち、
ノイズによる被災で亡くなったのは全体の１／３程度であり、
残りは逃走中の将棋倒しによる圧死や、
避難路の確保を争った末の暴行による傷害致死であることが、
週刊誌に掲載されると、一部の世論に変化が生じ始める。
Of the total number of 12 874 human victims,
The one who had died in the disaster due to noise is a 1/3 of the total,
Rest and trampled to death by the stampede of the run,
Be a lethal injury or by assault or after someone fought to secure evacuation routes,
it is published in the weekly magazine, change begins to occur in public opinion of some.

死者の大半が人の手によるものであることから、
生存者に向けられたバッシングがはじまり、
被災者や遺族に国庫からの補償金が支払われたことから、
苛烈な自己責任論が展開されていくのであった。
Since the majority of deaths are due to the hand of man,
Bashing directed at the survivor begins,
Since the compensation from the national treasury has been paid to survivors and victims,
Harsh self-responsibility theory was going to be deployed.

週刊誌の記事内容は取材に基づいた正確なものであったが、
気持ちを煽る華美な修飾語の数々に踊らされた人々は、
正しさを振りかざし、主にインターネット上に持論を繰り広げる。
それはやがて、この事件に関係もなければ興味もない人間までも巻き込み、
ある種の憂さ晴らしとして狂熱的に扱われることとなる。
The article of the weekly magazine has been the exact one based on the coverage,
All People have been deceived in many ways and the story was modified to inflame the feelings of victim’s family,
The bashing in the name of justice, The theory of Harsh self-responsibility was spread wider mainly by internet.
Eventually, it even involving human with no relation (bystander, stranger) with the Live stage accident,
It was treated as a Fever or as a diversion of some sort.

心ない中傷も、
マジョリティという後ろ盾に支えられることで正論と化し、
自分の意見でなく、
「他のみんなも言ってるから」という正体を失った主張がまかり通ると、
もはや、中世の魔女狩りやナチスの蛮行にも等しい、
正義の暴力として吹き荒れるのであった。
Also The slander (people with no relation with the accident) with no heart,
Giving some argument by being backed with a reason of majority background,
Rather than their own opinion,
Claims that they was lost and hurt with the reason "because everyone else said the same thing" without guilty,
It can be said, that this case is equal to the brutality of the Nazi and witch hunting of the Middle Ages,
It was the Blustery as violence of justice.

善良な民衆が懐く市民感情は、
どこまでもねじれ、肥大化し、ただ「生き残ったから」という理由だけで、
惨劇の生存者たちを追い詰めていく。
もちろん、一連のムーブメントに対する反対派も存在していたが、
付和雷同という大多数の民衆が持つ本質によって封殺され、
しばらくは大きなうねりの中に埋没することを余儀なくされていた。
Even the good citizen people that can become emotionally attached to,
Just because the story was twisted too far, and bloated, and only with the reason"because I survived" by the survivor,
They can go hunting down the survivors of the tragedy.
Of course, the opposition to the movement of the bully was also present,
It is by nature of human for all the people to follow the majority by force or not ,
They had been forced to buried in a large swell for a while.

立花 響の環境も、そんな状況に翻弄されていく。
Tachibana family was one to suffer and was at mercy to such situation

ライブ会場の被害者のひとりに、
響の通っていた中学校の１人の男子生徒がいた。
彼はサッカー部のキャプテンであり、将来を嘱望されていた生徒であったが、
なぜ彼が死んで、取り立てて取り得のない響が生き残ったのかと責め立てられる。
少年のファンを標榜する一人の女子生徒のヒステリックな叫びから始まった攻撃は、
やがて、全校生徒にまで広がっていくのであった。
The one of the victims on the venue,
There were a boy. He attend the same junior high school as hibiki.
He Is the captain of the soccer club, he was a student that was promised with a successfull future,
Why he is dead while someone like hibiki who is only a no one survived, from there hibiki was started being hated.
There is a girl who attacked and shout hysterically to hibiki who is a member of the boy fancclub,
Eventually, From there the bullying was going to spread to all the students.

それだけではない。
父親の会社の取引先の社長令嬢もまた、この一件にて命を落としていたのだ。
Not only that.
The president’s daughter of the suppliers company of his father had lost their lives.

当初は娘の命が助かったことを喜び、周囲に喧伝していた父親であったが、
取引先社長の耳に入ることで契約は白紙となり、
響の父親はプロジェクトから外されることとなる。
Although the father was happy that the life of his daughter was saved,
When the supplier president heard about this, the contract for hibiki’s father was nullified
Hibiki’s father was also removed from the project that he was partaking in his company.
.
以降、社内の持て余すような扱いにかつてのプライドは引き裂かれ、
酒量が増え、家庭内でも大きな声や手をあげるようになっていく父親。
Later, the father who pride was torn because such treatment and do not know what to do in-the house(unemployed),
The father drinking amount is increasing, and will now raise hands and voice with violence in the home.

元々、立花家への入り婿だったためか、
ある日、会社に行くといったまま行方をくらませ、
何もかもを放り出したまま、二度と家に戻ることはなくなってしまう。
Originally, there is a son-in-law that was supposed to enter into the Tachibana house,
one day he leave and go to work to a company but he never stated where he will be going that day
Without retrieving his belonging, he never return to the house for the second time.

学校でも家庭でも、
少女が抱え込むには大きすぎる理不尽に苛まれる響。
Even at home and at school,
Hibiki, the one who was tormented by unreasonable reason and burden that was too large for the normal girl to saddle.
誰かのためにと奔走する少女は、
その誰かから踏みにじられた過去を持つ少女でもあった。
The girl who put her effort for someone ,
It was also that precise girl who has the past of being trampled by that “someone”

相互の不理解が浮き彫りにする人の心の暗部。
The Dark side of the human mind to search for a relief is not mutual understanding.

嫌というほど見せつけられてなお、
それでも響が誰かを信じることができるのは、
人と人の間には、たしかに「陽だまり」があることを知っているからである。
While It should be unpleasant being confronted with all of this,
Hibiki still can believe in someone,
Because she know that between the human and human(relationship) there is still a "Sunshine/positive side" for sure.

That's really depressing...reminds me of Kamijou Touma's past, though.

[tuckersister]

Do Kirika, Maria and Shirabe know that Hibiki was a survivor of the Zwei Wing incident two years ago?

[Marina2]

If there is one thing that Symphogear G clearly do better than other shows in this season, it will be how they manage to make each ep. ends in the most exciting way as possible.

Spoiler for fine:

That was the proof that kirika host fine in her body. But it was strange, when ryoko (season 1) was exposed to phonic energy when kanade transform for the first time, fine conscious immediately take over ryoko and use her body.

This time kirika conscious still intact because even she doesn't know what going on in the end while using asgard.

From my quess, hibiki influence really affect fine to change her ways. That is why fine never take over kirika's body by force.

whoa rewind a bit did fine said herself reason she was awaken due to little tsubasa singing on relic item cause fine inside ryoko to be awaken?

cause we need a singing or same item if happen again or unless twist reveal that it's fine had children since she was "screwed" by a "person"?

Probably not. As Fine's research on Hibiki's regenerative ability is something she held close to chest.

Why would Fine tell the US everything she knows?

[shalala]

Fine was working with the US in season one but also killed the men that was sent to her home. Also I can't believe how no one has mentioned Dr.Ver is suchh a Hnnnnnnghhh character. All of his faces that he pulls and how much he is in love with his baby. Yes it was pretty obviously when I first saw him pretty much had "I'm the evil bad guy" written all over him. I'm still waiting too see how Maria was able to get Gungair. Plus wouldn't a full relic be much stronger and why would you activate it with out a swan song or a user who is able to wear the thing. Plus why has Dr.ver gone coocoo over a sudden?

Ryoko got awakened the moment Tsubasa activated relic as small child.

Holy Hell! Waiting since Thursday for subs.......something went wrong?

Commie is slow for this particular show, translator issue perhaps. The only other groups that release subs for this show use Commie's scripts, so they always lag even further behind.

[NutShell]

I wonder why other sub droped this, from my opinion symphogear is a good show than other anime summer that I realy expected ....

I suspect that the problem is that the show actually requires someone to take the time to translate/sub it properly, and I don't believe this is streamed so it's not like it can be ripped or gotten legally (on Crunchyroll for example) in English speaking territories either.

With the rise of simulcast streaming, groups that do actual fansubs have shrunk considerably. This means the pool of talent in the fansubbing community has shrunken as well, so when, for example, your translator or timer is busy for the weekend, your releases get delayed.

You can also tell when a group lacks someone to help translate. The fact that every other group relies on Commie's scripts is very telling. If they could do the same job Commie does, they would have stepped up to the plate in Commies absence. They haven't, so we're stuck waiting.

It's free, and volunteer work, so patience is fine. We used to have to wait much longer for subs back in the day.

[Marina2]

I think I heard that Commie staff are busy with their real life in this week. The sub for Symphogear G is not going to come out soon.
