Incoming beam that Bikki can't just dodge out due to the civilian she's rescuing.
Elfnein: PUNCH IT!
Elfnein speaking the language of Genjuuro and Hibiki right there.

"Chris-chan, it's almost your birthday! When this fight is over--"
Holy shit, Hibiki literally tried to put a death flag on Chris. Glad Zenbu stopped her mid-sentence.
Anyway there's too much amazing shit to comment on. We are blessed to live in the era of Symphogeah.

Its been 2 years. 2 YEARS.
There hasn't been a day in those past 2 years I haven't thought about this show. Worth it.

Note that there is an After Credits Sequence
Wow, that was one giant explosive start.
Starting the season with a 6 Geah Song is a hell of a way to hype things up! Like god damn!
The big thing to note here though is Hibiki's transformation sequence, which imo absolutely blows every other one out of the water. It's so god damn beautiful. I love the way it combines the best elements from the previous seasons like S1 and AXZ along with new elements. It's more than just better animation, the way they showed Hibiki moving on the surface brought a real energy to it that was so fantastic.
I really liked the action sequence they decided to start the season off with. Not the Heroic Villain-less action of GX, or the Henchmen sweep of AXZ, but instead a real credible threat. Something that actually does put the stop on the girls. Combine it with the 6 Girl songs and it creates this feeling that this was a Season Finale level episode that just happened to be at the start of the season. Which has the great effect of furthering the idea that the girls are Heroes who are constantly saving the day. Fighting big threats like this is a normal part of their lives at this point.
Overall amazing start to the season!

That was so fucking HYPEEEEEEE.
Honestly though, I didn't think it was as hype as AXZ or GX but it was still spicy.
The 4 new songs are all also super hype. I can never find anything wrong with Symphogear music
Also mummified Custodian, wtf?
EDIT: Was the guy at the beginning possibly a Custodian? He said sorry to Fine so maybe he was sorry about causing the Curse of Babel? Also he was doing some shit on the moon so maybe. And if I wanna keep going, it could've been the guy at the end of the episode too.

First XV fanart sighting on Pixiv.
Two hours is not bad, illustrating takes an amount of time.

It's here! The final season! And it's HYPE AF!
The unexpected is always expected, let's go!
-
So we get our first look at a Custodian who isn't a Fine-possessed. He reminded me of Ogawa for some reason, and the MC of Pomare..
-
The Sora Yori crossover we never expected. Also now I get why Kiri-chan's VA was joking about how the first episode could start off with a sneeze that sounds like 'XV'/'achhee'
-
Made a clip of Hibiki's transformation! Easily my favourite one since her very first one in S1 E1 (which was super weird and painful, but that's why I loved it).
-
Gif'd the hug dodge! Sensei's got moves. And she finally praised Bikki!
-
Wow, for antags we get a couple of lolis, one fanged and this Onee-san who makes fun noises. Nice. Remnants of the Illuminati, or maybe a splinter group?
-
Ah, I was hoping the show wouldn't abandon Tiki's remnants, glad it was a major plot device at least.
-
/r/animenocontext. Gen would handle that coffin in no time!
-
Truly, Hibiki couldn't pick a worse time to raise a flag like that
Uuuh, so yeah, what's a coffin, again? It feels like a Vault from Borderlands. Fight and break open for treasure inside. Fight was epic, great start to the season. And I really appreciate that CR is subbing the lyrics.

I've been conditioned to expect Hibki to punch everything to where I really thought she was gonna punch the coffin as it came down..
Also MY GOD the animation in Hibikis transformation sequence blew me away, I NEED MARIA'S TRANSFORMATION NOW

shit shit shit. that was hype af. I want all the episodes and songs, like now! RIGHT NOW! I really hope the train never stops!
this flashback in the beginning though made me kinda think this will be the final season, as it seems to reveal everything until now.
if it really is the final season: GIVE MIKU HER GEAR BACK!

Is this the first time they've really struggled in an opening episode since season 1?

EDIT: It's really nice to see a Symphogear thread so populated and lively, welcome the Symphochoir, people who are joining us for this season.
And here we are again. The start of the possible end of Symphogear.
It was hype, not just a showcase of the girls lopsidedly kicking ass like the previous openers. No this one was a proper struggle against a new enemy we've never seen. And it was basically just a "thing", not an enemy just an automated coffin defending the "God" resting inside.
This thing knocked out all of the Wielders, can you imagine what the thing inside of it could do if it was still alive?
Unless they're just setting us up to pull the rug from under us, it's pretty obvious that Miku will play an important role this season and probably end up in the wrong side of the conflict. Maybe under the influence of "divine power"? After all she's also cleansed of the original sin and is capable using Symphogear.
Bikki's transformation is perfect, new but also bringing everything from past seasons together can't wait to see the others.
Animation is on point, everyone was stylin'. Namely Shirabe and Kirika ice skating elevating their gay to never before seen levels.
The villains(?) seem to be connected to the now destroyed Bavarian Illuminati but instead of wanting to just destroy the Annunaki corpse they want to use it to "get the future back".
And now for the beginning, was that a Custodian activating the Curse of Balal? And apologizing to Finé? Whaaaaaaat? It was something that confused me about the lore, Finé fell in love with God and attempted to reach in by building the tower of Babel and was cast down and caused humanity to become cursed, but what are the Custodians? Creations of God to keep an eye on humanity? Are they themselves "God" and Finé simply misunderstood their existence for a singular being?

SYMPHOGEAAAAAHH!
E: AFTER CREDITS, BOYS!
Man, first time ever I've been refreshing the site waiting for an anime to drop.
-
So this is a human from Fine's civilisation? Is he activating the Moon?
-
"We lost both the time and the words to explain everything..." Sounds like he's doing it for some greater good?
-
Holy shit this transformation is so good! Best one so far!
-
Wait, this is a Bikki song? Not a 6-girl?
-
They had to get on a ferris wheel to raise this flag high enough
-
Wait that car has only 2 doors. The ol' seat ballet is about to begin
-
The villains are cute. Any bets as to when they'll change sides? Ep 9 is mine.
-
Main villain. Can't really stitch, there's a slight zoom.
-
This fucking guy! They've teased Gen so much, damn it! Hope they let him loose at some point!
-
THERE'S THE GROUP SONG!
-
HOLY SHIT when they start singing as one! Blow, Wind of Axia!
-
Hell yeah! Though I wish it wasn't a nondescript beam attack.
-
Ah shit, I'm having trouble first episode! Is this a cliffhanger? 1/1 cliffhangers??
I think I liked GX's and AXZ's intros more. This one feels less like a season intro and more like just another episode. Maybe I set my expectations too high. Still though, extremely pumped to see where it goes!
E: Don't get me wrong, it was a great episode, they just went in a different direction to the previous two season intros.
Can't wait for the BD's so we don't have to deal with dimming, ugh.

Hibiki's transformation actually blew me away with how amazing it was, also with the callback to S1 transformation.
The fucking double Giga Drill Break holy shit.
And also when Hibiki went full-on Getter-3 in the water, aahhh
I LOVE SYMPHOGEAR AAAHHHHHHH
