Okay, gather around and hear the song of my people. The two top reviews for this are a 5 and a 6? What in this show is a 5 or 6? Not a single damn thing.

"Musical Bitches Symphogear", as it's named on my PC, was one of my most complex human-anime relationships. On one hand, it was helmed by the man who brought me Wild Arms, my favorite RPG series of all time, and some of the people behind Oban Star Racers, one of my all time favorite pieces of animation. On the other hand, it was a hastily-made, awkward and janky show that had ...

lol, I could care less for the dogpile of deus ex machina that comprises the story itself but damn this show is sexy! buy the blu-rays they come with awesome extras lol!

Story 7/10
Well, maybe the most entertaining part about watching the show is to come up with some sharp comeback for every shit that happens *cough*hibiki's past why did you just make it up!*cough* but that's what makes it so great anyway. The story flow seems to be much smoother compared to the 1st season. Every episode leaves you with a cliffhanger so you'll want to know what happens next. Also, a lot of the ...

Fans of the original Symphogear show likely have come to the conclusion that Symphogear is a fun, but extremely mediocre show that can’t be taken seriously. While it had great music and moments of heart pounding action, it also had some quality issues from a low budget, a string of horrendous writing, and poor character development, all coined together in what looked like haphazard direction.

Fortunately, Symphogear G fixes these problems while maintaining the original feeling of bravado from the first season, and it can even be considered, dare say, a great show.

The increase in production and quality can be seen from the very first ...

If Symphogear AXZ wasn't a thing, I would say that "G" is the apex of the franchise's glory! It has: emotionally riveting character moments (especially, between Hibiki and Miku... the "Tokyo Tower scene" and after "Miku's transformation" are specifically powerful in their execution—); imaginative/off-the-wall/mind-blowing action sequences, a compelling cast of villains, and a stunning finale, that had my jaw on the floor! Symphogear G is what happens when the protective muzzle is placed to the side, and all of Satelight's magnificent, craziness is able to run amuck!

After a heavily criticized first season, the second season seems like giving a new life for Symphogear treeline.

Story got B+ for improvements over first season's fatal failure and new villain as well as brand new storyline (tactical betrayal which is quite uncommon for the magical-girl themed).

Art also got B+ also for its improvement. Most of the scene are quite well-drawn and the settings are changed dramatically by incorporating first season's place into forbidden area. Probably done to increase thrill halfway through the series

Sound got A. All songs are perfectly set for each seiyuu's voice capability. No more rubbish songs and no more imbalance quality. Ayahime's ...

So remember in LA's first season review of this anime series, that LA said this "Senki Zesshou Symphogear you may be a season filled with and built on a foundation of inconsistency, but if anything the appeal to this season and in the future by in large this series' appeal is for it's wacky batshit crazy mech-suited idol battles and of course...it's music." Well, this season clearly learned from what it did wrong and was a HUGE step up.

The plot for this season is a streamlined yet chaotic self-contained story with the newer characters told on the synopsis and you know what?, the plot being ...

I was wrong
-Me from before watching Symphogear G. Probably.

Honestly this caught me off guard. Like i did not expect it to be this better than season 1. Hell, might as well make this the season 1, let's just pretend season 1 didn't happened.

From the animation to the story to the characters, they all received a LOT of improvements from previous season. The story is still confusing to me but wth you don't need logic to watch this banger. Characters got MAJOR improvements we get to see Hibiki's backstory, which added depth to her character. Ogawa suddenly became a fucking badass this season, he's like ...

Much better! Say goodbye to the first season of Symphogear's hair-brained scheme to develop mature character arcs in a fantasy world devoid of mature themes. Fully embraced in Symphogear G is the soul of the show - robogirls saving the world from the noise with their punchy warballads. Suspend your desire for "realistic" world building and experience the closest thing to an autistic rock opera Anime has to offer, Symphogear G.

Story 8

Two parts wheat, eight parts buckwheat... on the scale of so bad it's good, Symphogear G gets an 8/10.

The moon, which had a makeover in the season 1 finale, is not in stable orbit ...

The most notable points about this second installment to Symphogear is it was significantly more consistent than the first season in animation quality, we get three more Symphogear users, and there is shift towards having more fighting and less school/slice of life moments (which is either good or bad depending on your preference).

In regards to the animation there is a noticeable difference that is almost like a generational gap where the style of anime changed from like pre 2010s to mid late 2010s (despite it being one year apart from the first season). Also whereas season 1 had some very iffy looking action season towards ...

Symphogear G improves in several ways over the first season, though in other ways feels like it fails to quite live up to the same breakneck antics that made the first season work so well. On the whole, though, it still maintains the same level of enjoyability, and while it can drag at times it feels very much like a natural continuation of the previous season.

As with the last season, the first episode actually sets the ball rolling almost immediately, with a very powerful opening scene. However, after this, the season loses steam much faster than the previous one, and is overall much more stop-and-go ...
