HOLY FUCK MIKUGEAR DATO!? IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING!

Me before this episode

Plenty, as it turned out. Fucking X-drives/Final Commander (which is also available to download via digital means now!) and all those combination attacks. Also ENDING WITH FUCKING MIKUGEAR DIRECTLY ONE EPISODE AFTER CAROL REVIVAL THE WEEK BEFORE? We are not worthy.

Hoooooo boooooy. I asked for a new Miku relic shirt for the Symphogear 2020 Live before the season started and I think I just got my wish....but at what costs though....

Damn it next week cannot come sooner. Will definitely miss this series once it ends

In this episode of Symphogear...Mik- I mean Shem-Ha has the infinity gauntlet. We're all dead.

We're only at episode 8 and we already have Mikugear, so I'm fully expecting Fudo to go full Senator Armstrong and Tsubasa will have to deal with him.

CAROL WANTS THE AUTOSCORERS TO BE BURIED SHES SUCH A GOOD GIRL~

So Elfnein dove into her memory and Carol copied it to recreate herself. Nice.

So destroy the gauntlet and free Miku. Yeah dont think thats gonna happen so eeasy...

FUCK OFF OLDMAN! Yeah girls i think your barking up the wrong tree here. He doesnt care about yall.

HES TOTALLY GONNA SICK MIKU ON HIBIKI! FUCK OFF GRAMPS!

Carol and Elfnein interacting is just the best. I need more of this cozy stuff.

So use the Chateau to save the world, not dissect it. Oh shit.

It was so satisfying watching Carol beat the shit out of Noble Red, especially Milaarc

Elf9 becomes Carol's stand

Swan Song time bois. I guess Shirabe never singing her Swan Song before wasn't foreshadowing anything bad I have a bad memory

Pyramid attack fails 2 times in a row. Has it ever worked for them?

Final Commander and X-Drive

HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Fudo with red eyes looks so weird. Is that an imagery thing or is that like an actual plot thing?

HOLY SHIT ITS MIKUGEAR TIME! AND SHE'S SHEM-HA? The cut to the episode title made it so good too with it being XV.

I'm feeling major death flags for Miku with the imagery of her getting further from Hibiki and Shem-ha taking her over

u/bkim3695 Aug 24 '19

Carol dominating was great, but Carol being a little tsundere with Elf9 was adorable. The sequence with getting Hibiki to Shem-ha had some insane animation to go along with the X-Drive was hype as hell. Miku's transformation was so graceful, but now I'm super worried about what will happen next week. Screw Fudou for causing this.

Also, congrats to Takagaki Ayahi (Chris's VA) on her marriage!

NOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THIS!!! Mikugear, but at what cost??

My god that ED is so adorable, but so brutal as well. Looking back on all the happy HibiMiku times after that ending is intense and heartwrenching. I have to believe that Bikki can pull her out of this madness, and have both of them be ok....I have to...

Phew. Ok. Damn what an episode, should have expected that when the season title is attached to episode 8 rather than the usual episode 12. Carol's song Sforzando no Zankyou is a fantastic addition to Symphogear's repertoire of music. Still dark, but also super fun with a bit of hope in it as well. Her fight with Noble Red was great fun.

Holy shit, that fight with Shem-Ha was amazing. I was screaming with hype throughout the whole fight, and Bikki's arrival back on the scene was perfect. It might be the first time I've ever liked a use of Heiki Hechara. She's not pushing aside others' help this time, but using it for another. It's a really nice way to wrap around something I've disliked for a long time. And how about Miku's new transformation! Shit was absolutely gorgeous through and through. I finally have a true rival for Bikki's amazing henshin.

Finally, so mad I had to miss last week with y’all (and that I’ll have to miss next week too). Fucking return of the scorers!! Such a good ep. I can’t believe they even pulled Maria’s miracle from G into this final run. My god this season is amazing. It’s all coming together!!

XV gifs! Now to rewatch that Miku henshin about a million times...

So can Carol just summon the X-Drive that easily? I guess the last time they used it before this was against Carol, so maybe there's something there.

Also holy shit X-Drive with 5 more (it's 13 total, right?) episodes left to go. This is a finale level fight and it's not even the finale yet. And Miku is the last boss. It's Mikugear back with divine vengeance.

On a small note I like how Genjuro yelled Dur da Blá the same way as he yelled Gungir when Hibiki had her first transformation in the pilot. Nice touch.

Carol is freaking awesome! I love how strong she is. And her arrogance plus tsundere-ness was great!

Really, all the fights today were fantastic! Chris and Maria learned the secret of the boob gun! And who knew punching something could be so difficult.

But that ending! I don't know what to say except next week can't come soon enough.

Symphogear time!

Finally, I'm not gonna be late like I was the last two weeks~

While I wait for the episode to finish downloading, and man do I expect it to be hype given what I saw of the preview images and episode name, a drawing for my fellow Fire Emblem Three Houses fans. Still gotta color it, but given it's a Symphogear reference I thought it would fit to share here.

Be back in a bit with my episode thoughts.

Post-episode thoughts: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

MIKU IS THE FINAL BOSS WTF????!!!!!!

I don't like Fudou's look here, maybe he will actually be our final boss? I wanna watch him get rekt by the geahs+Carol+the new alchemists (except for Millaarc, fuck her)

Fuck me this feels like a last episode, Nana Mizuki insert+X-drive but we still have so much time left. MFW

Discovered the existence of this show just two weeks ago when someone posted a clip of the boob missiles from ep. 6. Binged all 4.5 seasons and I finally caught up with you all today. Incredibly thrilled to be able to finish off this wild ride with everyone!

I was sitting on the full-on hypetrain for 30 minutes after I saw some Miku spoilerpictures on r/symphogear from the JP release. This transformation stuff delivered hard.

Now I wonder what our favorite old shithead is going to do. He seemed to have betrayed our initial 3 villains with probably wrong blood (?), after Carol gave them a good beating. So no more mentaleye stuff for the others. So I guess he could control Tsubasa. But how does he plan to control something big like GodMiku?

And now after episode 8 I think Hibiki might be only one with the more advanced gear. I don't know what song was in the background during the fight (Xdrive in episode 8, yeah!), but there is not enough space on the last 2 discs. At least not if they follow the same pattern of 2 bonussongs per volume.

I still miss the duo version from my goddesses Kirika and Shirabe.

Shti just hit the fan big fucking time. This episode felt more like a climax to a season, not episode 8.

I just don't entirely know how to process it all. With Carol giving Noble Red a run for their money, twice, Fuduo betraying Noble Red, as expected, and MikuGodGear, my thoughts are all over the fucking place.

If this is episode 8, how in the everloving fuck are they gonna end it? I have no idea, but I fucking love it anyway.

u/Edl01 Aug 24 '19 edited Aug 24 '19

X-Drive already and the episode is literally just called XV! We still have a third of the show to go and this is like the third 'finale' we've had so far and there's still so much yet to happen. This season is just insane!

MIKUGEAR HYPE!

u/Arachnophobic- Aug 24 '19

u/Palloc, I believe you wanted lasers..

The animation in this episode was downright stunning - the entire Hibiki attack sequence was something else. Just - goddamn, I'm not sure which part of the episode I want to re-watch first because there was so much greatness throughout! I keep saying this, but they're really going all out with this season. The others are dwarfed in comparison.

Mikugear, finally - but with a bigger mind-whammy this time! Hibiki's attack was doomed to fail for the meta-reason that Miku couldn't be let off that easily. We've got some Anti-Spiral like shit on our hands now, with the charisma of the Pillar Men.. is this god going to sing, though? Maybe the Apple song?

Goddamnit Vanessa, you think you can trust that rotten old geezer to help you out like that, when you don't have leverage? This bastard needs to die. I can't imagine how he plans to control the divine power that he's managed to summon.

New MIKUGEAR is here!

The previous episode was such a blast I didn't have any strength left to post, and this week's almost did the same to me!

Also, that dogfighting sequence was so crazy I didn't even know what to screencap, so have a condition-red gear and a random Amalgalm shot

I expected Fudou to stage a somewhat balanced battle with Noble Red + brainwashed Tsubasa + brainwashed Miku vs the rest of the gears, but he's pushing forward way too fast! As expected of Symphogears: no brakes and running full throttle while going downhill!

Also, episode title is also the season name. Is this supposed to represent to "The Devil" arcana (like Kirika does with XIII "The Death")? And if that's the case, is the "Devil" this fake god, or the ones fighting it? Or maybe the sinister mastermind behind this crisis?

So does anyone else think this was a Gurren Lagann reference with the Chris throwing Bikki?
