>>287866619sex with mikos
>>287866619Very cute
The most boring show this season.
>>287868270It's fun though.
What the fuck is this hair style?
GC novel will come out this month.
Should focus on yuri more.
>>287866619Feels like they did a time skip since she has more possessions now?At least we got another duet this week.
>>287868411Cutting your ponytail off and then mount it on your own hair again with extra metal accessory?
>>287868297>It's fun though.Not really, I laughed sometimes at how stupid Symphogear was, but so far didn't laugh a single time during this show.
>>287868297It feels way too serious for the subject material. The mood and atmosphere is more like a dark emotional story rather than singing duets with Tesla's ghost or whoever.
>>287869369The most insane scene this week.
>>287870240Kadokawa shouldn‘t call this show the the spiritual successor of Symphogear.
Florence Nightingale on the mic this week
>>287871098
>>287871210
>>287870394>kill a cat>keep its ghost as a pet>a ghost cat can't scratch the furnitureSmart lolis
>>287869818Missed out on all those duets. I'm shocked that Joan of Arc was captured off screen.
>>287871098>Florence Nightingale>Florence Nightingale was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing.What a great historical female.What next Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Joanna d'Arc?
>>287871620>5 episodes in>whole bunch of ghosts offscreened>already about to attack the Miucs serverBig mid season twist inbound I guess
>>287872175>and Joanna d'Arc?if you paid attention to the episode, you'd know she already acquired her, in the meantime
This is not the worst show I'm watching this season, but it's definitely the worst paced one. It feels like 2 or more seasons crammed into one.Anyway thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWUJ-CqozUw
I would describe this as the least bad episode so far.
>>287873876>It feels like 2 or more seasons crammed into oneMANY such cases.
>>287874374That's definitely saying something.
>>287874561In case it wasn't obvious I very intentionally avoided words like "best" or any phrases like "first good." I feel "least bad" is a perfect descriptor, take that as you may.
I was amused by the four corners of subtitles for the song, the robots, and Riku going at once. Very chaotic
The craziest thing to me is the shows visuals are pretty good and the animation is rather nice. How many fucking favors did the studio owe this guy?
>>287874587I take it that this is your AOTS and you're simply too embarrassed to admit it. Don't worry though, I can read between the lines.
>>287875073Unfortunately not my AOTS, but I haven't dropped it yet, which counts for something!
>>287875094>dropping shows everWeakness.
>>287875135I typically never do because I'm pretty good at picking stuff to watch, ironically this season was the first time I did it.Lulutto Lily was just too kodomo for me and made me feel like a retarded baby.
>>287875151>Lulutto Lily was just too kodomo for me and made me feel like a retarded baby.faggot
>>287875151Today's episode had people risking their lives for real so I'll let you know if it escalates further.
>>287875227It's a nice show, I didn't think it was bad, but I just wanted more Princession...
>>287875235princession was meh, I really don't understand why it has such a rabid following
>>287875338The same reason Symphogear has such a rabid following. For those who vibe with it, they REALLY vibe with it.
>>287875338meant for >>287875237
>>287875338It was just good, solid fun for me. Also like >>287875360 said, I'm just a sucker for musical shows, and Princession typically delivered music every episode and action every episode which left me fulfilled. Helped a lot that I really liked the cast and their antics and thought all the music was fantastic.I said to someone else I think another core reason Lulutto didn't really click with me is how small the cast was, like just following one little girl dawdling around a city eating snacks and buying clothes, for me at least, just was not as engaging as something like Princession where the cast is always bouncing off each other/side characters. To extra clear before anybody chimps out too, I'm not trying to console war the shows, I just liked what Princession did much more....compare that to GC where the music has just felt decent at beast and I don't care about any of these characters.
It really peaked with the Tesla duet. I've been amused by all the bullshit since then, but nothing has made me lose my shit since that absolute gem hit me like a freight train out of nowhere.
>>287874846Find it amusing that the government isn't more actively going after TERA. Though I bet after this, they will.
>>287871098>random white maid>YOU'RE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE!!!
>>287875338Did you watch the entire thing?
>>287875918She literally got possessed and saw her memories. Also if any ghost is going to have a lamp even as a ghost it's going to be The Lady with the Lamp.
>>287875933no, but it didn't grab me in the first 9 episodes
>>287875338It plays the characters singing the OP card halfway through and still somehow finds a way to one-up that for the finale. I can't not love a show that manages that. But earlier on the crossdressing episode is what really sold me on it.
Florence Nightingale had some interesting quotes about women.Also this one.
>>287876121I wonder if Blackwell and her fucked.
>another sub where 偽善 gets brought up and mistranslatedaaaaagh
>>287876287Care to enlighten us dekinais?
>>287876307So 偽善 and by extension 偽善者 refers to something that refers to an act (or person) who does a good thing for the wrong reason. Either in that they have a wrong motive (typically "doing good things to appear good to others") or they have a negative effect (like donating to charity but the charity not actually doing the role its intended for).The JTE dictionary directly lists this as "hypocrite/hypocrisy" and TECHNICALLY this is not an inaccurate translation. The origin of the term "hypocrisy" does map onto this definition of the word. The first notable example of "hypocrisy" is the Biblical use, of "those who pray in public to show others how pious they are."However, native English speakers do not use the word "hypocrisy" like this. Nowadays it's exclusively used to "people whose words do not match their actions." So basically any time the word shows up in Japanese media, it can lead to people getting confused.The first time that this specific phrase came to my attention and the first time I took a serious interest in translation was in Symphogear, Shirabe calls Hibiki "偽善者" and English speakers find this confusing because it makes no sense for her to call Hibiki a "hypocrite." However, in the context of what the term means, Shirabe is absolutely correct in judging that Hibiki wants to help people out of the impure reason that it makes her feel like she has self-worth, in Japanese the line makes perfect sense.A better translation would use something that comes across better to the way English is actually spoken, like "self-righteous" or if you want to risk using modern slang, "virtue signaling."
>>287876444Actually a very interesting post, thank you Shirabe.
>>287876444Thanks, translator anon. May I ask what is the best Symphogear sub for each season (in your opinion)?
>>287876444Kirika blesses your post.
>>287868411It allows her to commit character development with the push of a button.
>>287876764kek
>>287871098It's fun watching multiple shows with historical characters and seeing how differently they are presented in the different works.
>>287876444>A better translation would use something that comes across better to the way English is actually spoken, like "self-righteous" or if you want to risk using modern slang, "virtue signaling."The proper term is "performative goodness"
>>287874846Just split your brain into 4.
>>287876791This instance it's 1 on 1 with what she looks like in Google images.
>>287876764
>>287876791Watching Ghost Concert and then Reincarnation no Kaben is a treat
>>287877134I have that on my list. Is it as fun bad as people say?
>>287868411Upon further contemplation I have formulated a new theory. Perhaps she had character development sometime in the past (after the flashback of course) and at some point (perhaps recently) she wished to reverse that character development so she sought to attach her hair again.
>>287877149The plot is moving at a breakneck pace but it's still fun seeing how powers manifest for the historical figures. Schrodinger was fucking hilarious
>>287876525>Rui IchikawaDoes she have Facebook?
>>287868270TPBP>>287868297FPWP
Useless trivia: Florence Nightingale was named Florence after the city in which she was born. She was the second of two daughters her parents had on their three year honeymoon trip across Italy. Her sister was also named after the city she was born in. She would later name her pet owl after the city she found it in.
>>287877387Another interesting post, invisible Shirabe.
>>287875979Fair. Personally, I think the first cour is the weakest. It's also the most kodomo at that point too. But the diegetic composition is soooo good later on, it honestly puts GC to shame.
>>287877673More like Pure Sex
>>287877693more like pure jobbing
>>287876444hypocritical isn't too far off from what 偽善 (false virtue) means though, self righteous or virtue signaling is a bit of a stretch>native English speakers do not use the word "hypocrisy" like this. Nowadays it's exclusively used to "people whose words do not match their actions.not true, i don't think i've ever heard someone get called a hypocrite when they are pretending to act in bad faithyou'd come up with words like 'poser' or 'liar' much faster
>>287880868NTA but it's like you didn't even read that post.
>>287880901i mean the first line of their post is just plain wrong when you can read the first line of wikipedia for gizen as 偽善（ぎぜん）とは、善良であると偽ることをいう
I smell a duet on the way...
>>287870394Sad
>>287876444It still fits with the classical definition with the word though, and it's not like there are better words you can use to replace it. "Self-righteous" is too specific and doesn't really fit in this instance, whereas "virtue signaling" is too modern.
Rude
Guess that'd explain it
So is Tera basically FIS, with their own White Orphanages?
>>287876444Actually watched the episode now. I guess your issue is with the following pairs of linesでも理由はそれだけ？ 自分の命を削ってまで、命がけて戦うには偽善的じゃないですかwhich to be fair, the second sentence doesn't totally map to "Isn't it hypocritical to sacrifice your own life?' to me either."But is that really your whole reason? Enough to spend your life, to put your life on the line fighting sounds a little hypocritical?" could maybe use the word 'preachy' instead of 'hypocritical' for 偽善的 - though both are pretty close.
Very sweet song this week.
>>287873876Still one of my favorite arcs.
>>287876121GOD
Miucs is a good girl and silent protector, protecting the world from bad spirits at the cost of not letting people interfere with her songshe just needs to MERGE with an organic vessel so she can understand humans, and then everyone can sing, together.

>>287881654A computer program with voice synthesis is hardly the answer to the world's problems.
>it's about famous restless spirits but it's also about a dystopia where singing is bannedi wish they'd just pick one, at this point it's not doing either of them welli love the 2-3 minutes of music each week to death but the padding surrounding it sucks
>>287881496Do you subscribe to the idea that her actor is Athena?
>>287881121>>287881215Maybe the good guys aren't so good after all
>>287884491WDYM the sketchy secret org that's trafficking children and sending them to die on the frontlines isn't the good guys?
>>287868270that seems... inaccurate...
>>287884491Good guys are half dead now.
>>287887500>>287887315Sex with Jeanne.
>>287888399Every episode of this show feels like two episodes spliced together. I'm sure there's a reason why her hair is different here and I can even imagine it's to hide her identity but fuck if the show has time to tell us.
>>287888527shes dead
>>287888527she's legally dead and the show already told you
>>287888527Not really something that needs to be dwelt on. It's pretty obviously a disguise.
>>287888399Even in disguise she still has the two toned hair.
>>287888959>>287888810>>287888688Yeah but why is she only disguised some of the time? Why is she risking getting found out by working there anyway? Why isn't anyone else disguised even if some of them are dead too?
I hope the show will at least slow down a bit when we get to the real plot.
>>287890020That's impossible.
>>287890020I believe it
It's a pretty cutesy anime for a dystopian techno state.
you can let the thread die, you know
>>287896670I can't wait for her villain turn in 2 episodes.
>>287896656Coldblooded killer>>287897375She looks super cute here.
Seria will die again in ep12.
>>287893221>leaf autism out of nowhereSurely this will be integral to the plot later
>>287869369Seria x Kaede yuri doujin when
