15 minutes until 21st ends in Japan
It's still the 21st in America, so we can still love Nana.
I RABU NANA I RABU NANA I RABU NANA I RABU NANA I RABU NANA I RABU NANA I RABU NANA
>>23057559In Europe too, it's just Asia and Australia hitting midnight
Nanaplane
Always remember refrigerator-kun
My very first /sgg/
Thank you so much to everyone who came out on a weekday night to participate in the insta-live .And thank you for all the congratulatory messages Once again, Mizuki celebrated her birthday today .On this happy day, we have many happy announcements: new song “Electric Trick” from the new album will be distributed in advance, Weibo will be restarted, and the live tour will be decided‼It was the happiest birthday ever .I'm going to keep going full throttle and keep on blowing away this year just like Mizuki .I hope you all will come and join me
>>23057575What kind of dog does/did Nana have?
>>23057603whatever this annoying race was called
>>23057605Yep, that doesn't surprise me; I was hoping for a medium or large one.
>>23057613in Japan?
>>23057615Nana is rich enough to own a single family house with space for a larger dog, I assume Nana is scared of owning a bigger one like most japs
>>23057605I also have a long haired chihuahua and two short haired ones.>>23057618Huh, why?
>>23057621The average adult male height in japan is like 5 feet
>>23057621>Huh, why?Don't take me for the word but from what I know most japanese women don't like big dogs because they could just easily overpower them while on a walk or something. For men iirc it's that just don't want to take care of a large dog because it's a lot of work and they're tired
>>23057625 (me)Also small dogs are kawaii and shiet so you should understand the rest
>>23057623I assume they're not going to buy a pitbull. My gym leader owns a pitbull and he is like 5.4, but well his arms are the size of a japanese man waist so it's different I suppose.
>>23057628>short height>round faces>squeaky noisesJapanese people are too close to the pitbull's preferred diet I'm afraid
Huh, on 21st the voice of Symphogear sakimori has birthday and the next day is YuYuYu sakimori's turn, funny coincidence
>>23057633not gone lie, these are all literally who characters. I only recognize a couple of the gacha ones
>>23057639I care only because Mebuki is pretty similar character wise to Basa with the main difference being that she started as a loner tryhard, shame that the 3rd season of YuYuYu is a mediocre speedrun adaptation of two different novels
>>23057645>difference being that she started as a loner tryhardso did Basa
>>23057567Nana PITS.
>>23057648I wouldn't care Basa a tryhard per se, just a loner that didn't like Bikki and wanted to be left alone. Mebuki worked as sentinel mainly to show the higher ups that she's better than the heroes and that they made a mistake not choosing her. The only thing she cared about was getting the results and "defeating" the heroes
>>23057654>caremeant to say call, brainfart
>>23057654she was absolutely a tryhard>I'M GONNA BE AN IDOL AND A SAKIMORI AND I'M THE ONLY ONE JAPAN NEEDS>I'M GONNA SHOW MY DAD I'M THE SHIELD OF JAPAN>I DON'T NEED A NEW PARTNER, ESPECIALLY NOT ONE WITH SUCH A PITIFUL BUST
I want Nana to ryona me
>>23057656Ok you destroyed me with facts and logic, I was in the wrong. I wanted to believe Mebuki wasn't a Basa copy at superficial level…
>not-precure 4 fucking coursjesus christ
>>23057666The pachinko machines pay really good.
>>23057662All swords share a braincell after all>>23057671if that were the case we'd be getting more geah
>>23057671Anilist says King Records is the only producer, do they own Sankyo or get a big share from the machines?
>>23057675>All swords share a braincell after allMebuki uses a rifle with a bayonet that was changed into some weird chain sword in the anime but I get your point
>>23057676I don't know, but even if they don't 99% of record company profits come form licensing.
>>23057671it's not even the same production comiteem, someone just really wants to rival precure and hired the big hitters + nyaruko author to do itI'm sure its success will result in many quality symphogear spinoffs. Lmao.
>>23057658Chris...
>>23057686She looks bigger than Chris there, Tsubasa was padding her chest during season 1?
>>23057698It's a known fact that Basa's breasts got smaller until the final size in GX
>>23057698>>23057701they were filled with doubts and regrets
>>23057704more like low tier animators
>>23057698NOTHAT IS NOT TSUBASA
>>23057704If it really worked like that then I imagine she'd have giant boobs during the mindcontrol segment in XV
>>23057707that reminds that even to this day, there are idiots who think Plisskin is not Solid Snake
>>23057708It's fats it takes time to accumulate.
>>23057698Phonic gain is stored in the tits. Notice how she suddenly started winning right here.
>>23057712But Maria lost most fights
>>23057710Wait, he is?
>>23057713I can't believe Maria's Marias are fake...
>>23057717AAAAIIIEEEEE I CAN SEE IT
>>23057708The Bat was feeding on those doubts and regrets at the time>>23057720huh, barely noticed it, but gotta keep things Christian in this thread
>>23057723the content must be Kiri-chan friendly
So fake boobs wins you battles while real boobs makes you a jobber, they're like weights? You see Tsubasa dropping her bra mid combat?
>>23057729Chris has the 2nd biggest tits and has similiar track record to Basa after becoming a geah
The only thing you should put on your chest is a plate while you eat lying down.
>>23057729Tsubasa used to have tits as big as Chris, but she used chest binders because swords should be flat. That's why she can win as much as Chris despite appearing flat.Maria was actually flat and her tits are fake, so she still loses.The gaybies are flat but with the two of them you get decent sized tits.
>>23057284We need more cute wholesome DMJii.
New comic, I really like the rider joke ones nabe makes.https://x.com/GeahTranslation/status/1881749747201151285
>>23057639If so I recommend Akiba Maid War and Zombieland Saga.
>>23057864I second this, Zombieland is a pretty good idol show while Akiba Maid War is a well made yakuza flick
>Chris, caught in a suicide bombing carried out by escaped death row inmates, finds himself reincarnated in a world of swords and magic.
>>23057883>himselfwait what
>>23057885I forgot to change it.
>>23057885Reincarnation had some side effects
>>23057885Something something when with Bikki half her body weight is dick something something
>>23057921One of the death row inmates was a black guy. He got reincarnated as
Nana!
>>23057958This looks like a shitty fanart from the 90ssovl
>>23057961It's from 2007, looks like Full Metal Panic
>>23057962Yeah I saw the date, I guess you could call it Full Metal Panic but it reminds me of those shitty 90s eroge covers and fanart
This sword will just sheathe herself in anyone...
>>23057971We've been over this, she's the sheath
>>23057971Japanese swords must be sheathed unless you want them to rust, it's natural
>>23057975Only for Kanade
>>23057853Ryuki and Faiz all in one. Hilarious.
>>23058044And Maria, and Chris, and Millaarc, and anyone else who wants to take her.
>>23058044And Maria, and Millaarc, and (attempted) Fudou
>>23058055Yeah this one is really good, used 10% more brain power than usual to make sure that the 2nd part is written like they talked in the shows
It's a shame we never got a rival sword autist.
>>23058192Pharah?
>>23058194Didn't mind rape Tsubasa so I forgot, let me rebrand it.A shame sword breaker didn't mind rape Tsubasa.A shame vampire-chan didn't have a cool sword.
>>23058198>Wants to break Basa>Uses a cool sword
>>23058207What happened to Maria that she looks like this
>>23058211She found a cool sword in a cave
>>23058214What did the sword look like
>>23058216
>>23058219oh, makes sense then
New Shirabemeshi MTL slop dumpAlready with a depressing start
>>23058219
>>23058238Meant for >>23058216
>>23058238>>23058240sorry not familiar with whatever chinese thing it is
>>23058235How much weight did you guys gain this new year? I gained 3 kilos but I already lost it all back.
>>23058242It's a sentient cursed sword voiced by Aoi, but gets picked up by a character that Ayahi voices.
Pure sex and fuck airgetlam>>230582430kg because I have a 12 year olds food preference
>>23058207A little early for Halloween, Maria. You don't need any special reason to stuff youself with candies, y'know?
I'm just like Maria when it comes to complaining about few years younger than me
>>23058245They also appear in the puppets anime? I only finished the first season after the new year radio stream I'll keep watching later.
>>23058246No. Airgetlam is telling her "get hard!, get hard!" as a suggestion on how to bun calories
I have a bad feeling about this
Does this guy even check what he copypastes
>>23058256don't want to interrupt the storytime with images, but those last panels look just like the "Maria, let's have sex!" meme
>>23058246Pure sex and that's exactly why Airgetlam hugging her more than usual
I hope this will turn into Maria being drunk and complaining
>>23058207Maria took Blue Monday too seriously.
Sex belly
Drunk Maria dream is over, fuck my stupid life
>>23058235Her fate is to become a fat Ukranian Babushka.
>>23058252Yeah they both appear from S2 onwards so it's worth your time.
Is that top dad?
>>23058235>>23058242>>23058246I want to hug towel wrapped Maria and comfort her.
>>23058252The final movie(which should have been a full 5th season), will happen soon early in this year.
Did he finally become a kinda proper dad?>>23058276Who doesn't
Reminds me of Food Wars characters getting horny from food
>>23058192A character like this would steal the show as hard as Vert did.
Good for Maria
I hate airgetlam fuck you for hating chubby MariaAll in all great chapter with no Shirabe cooking slowing stuff down
*chubby dess noises*
>>23058296We don't discriminate against chubby geahs, that's just bonus sex points
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/126433743
Dad is still by far the biggest villain of them all.
>>23058304He's trying to be a better father now ok? He got a proper job running a ramen stall and does his best with Bikki
>chubby Maria
>>23058312>>23058256
>>23058312Not that chubby, really, just few mounds of love
Sadly I'm not a girl, so if the fat gets to my tits no one will love me, so I have to go and get those gains.
>>23058303I see Bikki convinced Chris to try the new workout routine
>>23058317Is this the love Dr Ver talked about?
>>23058291>All in all great chapter with no Shirabe cooking slowing stuff downShirabe taught Top Dad so she still cooked by proxy. Checkmate, atheist.
>>23058335She only taught him how to run a food stall not cook. Checkmate, peacefan
>>23058324Doubt it, only love he knew is self-love
spears need to be lean
>>23058393Good thing Maria stopped being one
>>23058393no, they should be GIRTHY
>>23058304Who's the strongest Symphogear character Sukuna could beat?One of the civilians, right?
>>2305839750% lean from paladin/rogue multiclass then
>>23058399Like, Ogawa or Genjuro maybe?
>>23058410Genjuro one shot Fine only to lose because plot, I don't think Sukuna could win. We didn't really get special Ogawa fights so idk about his level
>>23058291Enki (his arm) just wants her great x Infinity Daughter to be healthy anon. Don't hate a doting grandpa (arm).
Sonic collab.
>>23057633>NakoWA HA HAwaraeba sugoi ten toreru
>>23058415Well, Aoi would definitely be down for it.
Shadow, meet Maria.
>>23058447But Maria is not Latina. If anything, he'd go after Chris
>>23058451Chris doesn't have the genes of one.
>>23058453No, she has the genes of many inside her.
>>23057853Are you the same Anon who cleaned Shirabe Meshi chapter 6 the other day?
>>23058501Nope, that's me. I'm only equipped to clean and typeset.
>>23058451We're talking about Shadow. Maria is not for gf, she's for comfy friendship.
>>23058513>not for gf>posts a card naked "pains thrust"Chris is the friend for hug amd fug
>watch sonic 3 because I'm fucking bored>Realize Eggman and Ver are the same character
>>23058399So dess... It depends on which Sukuna we're talking about, the Sukuna from after chapter 238 when he fully reincarnates has access to all of his moves besides Hiten (it's never shown or mentioned what it can do), against someone like Shem ha who is more or less immortal since she can share all of her damage to other copies of herself across the universe the answer is pretty simple really. It depends on if Sukuna is near Shem ha.Malevolent Shrine can keep damaging Shem ha until all of her other copies run out of steam as well, and assuming the Annunaki don't just copy and paste worlds that fast, Sukuna can kill all of Shem ha's copies.If Sukuna is far away, Shem ha can just send out shenshoujing beams and kill Sukuna similar to how Hibiki used shenshoujing beams to stop rampaging Miku and the Gungnir.If it's the Sukuna from chapter 222 when he still has Mahoraga, it's unequivocally over if Shem ha doesn't try to blow him up instantly since he can adapt to any and all phenomena. I think that sums it up. World Dismantle can instantly kill anyone except Shem ha and the lizard from season 4. Something that must be kept in mind is that Shem ha looks down on people and Sukuna is a hedonist that looks for a good fight dess.
>>23058606If only you put the same amount of effort at school.
>>23058659>Kiri's grades come out>guess it's time for another parent-teacher conference...
>>23058606Okay I'll bite. To start off, the power scales are orders of magnitude apart. Sukuna's biggest strength feat is throwing cars, and that's in the anime-only fight that upscales him. JJK overall is an extremely low-power setting compared to most shonen. Second, even assuming Sukuna could harm Shemmy which is debatable since base symphogear durability is huge, the whole deal with alternate copies is that they are INFINITE. There are infinite possible universes, you can't "run out". That's why only Hibiki can harm her, she's literally a conceptual weapon specifically made to coutetr her infinite regen. Also, a factor that JJK conveniently ignores is that Sukuna CAN'T FLY. He can only jump around at street level, or summon the shadow bird if he still has that ability in his fully incarnated form (it's never clarified). At best he can do that "jumping off the air" thing he pulls out of his ass near the end but even that only works for extremely short distances. >mahoragacome on, he gets blasted in one shot. Even if he begins to adapt, it's a gradual process that takes a while. He gets turned to silver and dies right away. In fact, getting turned into silver might also counter RCT. Speaking conceptual weapons, SSJ's whole thing is removing impurities. And Sukuna is *checks notes* the king of curses, an evil spirit possessing an unwilling host. He gets rinsed and the host might even survive.
>>23058673hey, I've seen this one!

>>23058802>you can tell whoever made this pic doesn't know how to playJust like Kirika.
>>23058799Kirika has no brain.Just like Bikki and Kirika's love child.
>>23058871I'd say Hibiki took advantage of Kirika but that's debatable.
>>23058799I still don't understand this picture, they're both idiots, how do you even get all the way to Uno while another player is playing yugioh, it makes no sense
>>23058799Grrrr dess correction imminent
>>23059094It's an edit of a semi-new Miku mesugaki song, the point is that she's making fun of the other person for being a loser
I like this show designs and concept but I must admit I never have time to watch even a single episode. I still have a question about characters armors.Are their "gears" some sort of psycho-active as in changing in response to their users? I mean, when I look at different seasons, many of them change noticeably, like how Tsubasa looks more and more streamlined and lightly armored and how Chris shift from brown-red and red palette to wine-red, bright red, almost vermillion and white. Likewise, is there an explanation for differences in look of Gungir when used by Kanade and Maria (I recall that Hibiki case is explained by her relic being incomplete version). Thanks for replies.
>>23059162Yes, they change based on the user. They can also be modified and upgraded in a lab.
>>23059162They have higher song power in S2 so the gear changes to reflect that (they can actually revert to the weaker S1 design)And the gears also get an upgrade in S3/4 so the design changes a little
>>23059305The guys probably look unhinged IRL, but I always find these pics super cute
>>23059307>>23059264Oh, okay. I thought that their character development reflects on their suits changes (and made me wonder what character change would result in suit actually losing armor parts in favour of more skintight and revealing form like with Tsubasa).
>>23059317>character development reflects on their suits changesYeah that's kind of the point of course.
>just get kidnapped by some body swapping ageless priestess from Sumerian times if you want a twintail childhood gfAin't so easy chief...
>>23059317Hibiki not having a spear is a big deal and explored quite a bit, and she also does stuff like break off the heels to fight better. Eventually her gear gets upgraded with pilebunkers and the like to fit her better
>>23059324>Hibiki not having a spearIt's underrated how she actually recovers the spear in G
Makes you think since Gungnir was influenced by humanities collectives consciousness would that also affect the other gears in their form if someone unrelated used them? lets say we kidnap a good enough salary man and make him use Ichaival would his perception of Chris affect the way it operates?I didn't know about Ichaival before symphogear so the first thing that comes to mind is always Chris and missiles.
>>23059332I don't know if this applies to Symphogears as well, but at the very least Faust robes can only be worn by women. Even if SGs could be used by males, he'd need to have enough phonic gain to use the thing, and also be compatible.
>>23059335>>23059332I thought that only women can use Relics, I recall one anon linking that to hormones or something (likely oxytocin, which is suppressed by testosterone).
>>23059332So we know Chris turns "Enchanted Bow Ichaival" into "Fuck you missiles Ichaival" because she lived in a war zone, so you can change the relic according to your needsI think similarly how people see the "legend" changes the relic. Maybe in another universe Ichaival is the legend of a gatling gun but alt Chris is into archery so it's an enchanted bow for her
>>23059339it's actually somethign along the lines of "only the female body can give birth and that makes it closer to god" or the like. It's the reason why the Alchemists transitioned
>>23059339what you're thinking of is how the secret ingredient to Linker was oxytocin. Anyone can use relics.
>>23059339We had Dr Ver who used relics
Just imagine the phonic gain, Jack.I might shit on Fine but my ideas are no better if not worse.
>>23059360They could craft new, improved bodies for themselves. Who wouldn't want to become little girl?
>>23059308They make a sacrifice for the greater good.
>>23059376Symphogear is just anime Metal Gear Revengeance...
>>23059396>Is your cause just, or is that just what you tell yourself?
>>23059396MGR is basically a mahou shoujo show if you change the cyborgs for henshin magic and the grizzled mercenaries for girlsNo, I can't remember why I made this
>>23059396Metal Geah!
O Maria...Far away now...Will I ever see your smile?As night turns to dayI beg you to stayI'm down, down on my knees here…
>I'm saying Jack is backI think it would be easier to fit MGR into a toku but mahou shoujo is good too
>>23059396> "Memes, the dna of soul, dess"> Blue Sword vs. Red Sword> Hibiki trying to ora-ora senator Vercingetorix
>>23059396Desperado with relics would be interesting, challenging Hibiki and everyone else idea of sitting all day eating cakes in japan while the world burns, and it doesn't even brake the world those guys are more believable there. Chris against monsoon and sundowner, Tsubasa mind broken after fighting Sam, Miku kidnapped by Armstrong for some odd reason, exquisite.
>>23059429>Miku kidnapped by Armstrong for some odd reasonNanomachines work better on people without sin, there you go
>>23059429I know Sam is an obvious fit for Tsubasa because samurai but in truth he should be Bikki's opponent because she's the one yapping about justiceChris and Monsoon/Sundowner fit perfectly, I can see Monsoon exploiting her war trauma until she goes Chris the Ripper after embracing it
>>23059396To be honest, in Metal Gear Ray fight you could replace Raiden with Hibiki and it wouldn't turn out weird at all.
>>23059424Mahou shoujo, Toku and Character action games are three sides of the same dodecahedron.
>>23059435For sure, it's just that with the differences they have even if small one medium portrays it better than the other
MGR is also about songs so...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y-5jEl5BRwAnd of coursehttps://x.com/i/status/1881625035166953937Kojima x Nana Mizuki crossover happened yesterday, so................
>>23059439>Kojima x Nana Mizuki crossover happened yesterday, so................Paz in Piss Walker is voiced by Nana and her song is by Nana too
>>23059440I meant the birthday, but yes she's always been around. Feels good to play online with Nana's Koi no Yoroshiku as an official BGM.
>>23059437I dunno, I could totally see Bayo teasing Bikki and Chris while fighting "Angel-noise", leading up to a final boss fight against twin goddesses >Thread themehttps://youtu.be/EV6E13xODyA
Kirika and Shirabe would be cool bosses to fight, they fit the game quite well.
>>23059396Yes, and?
>>23059447>You blind yourself to the truth! Burying yourself in fake comforts and easy to swallow lies, drinking from the teat of social media like a blind calf! We will tear this facade apart and reveal the ugly beast that hides behind the curtain!>What she said dess!
>>23059446My point is that for example MGR is easier to be retrofitted into a toku without making big changes while Bayo in your example is easier to make as mahou shoujo. If you wanted to make MGR into a proper mahou shoujo there would need to be bigger changes aside from changing characters' genders
Since we talk about mixing Symphogear and games - I honestly would imagine gameplay itself to incorporate some mechanics from Hi-Fi Rush, especially tying combat (dodges, attacks, combos) to rhythm of current soundtrack. Would fit pretty nicely to series theme, don't you think?
>>23059452>Why don't you try thinking for yourself. Dess!
>>23059461definitely a cool idea. At the very least, it should have the Devil May Cry mechanic of "song gets better as style goes up" with more instruments and vocals kicking in at higher ranks
Remember when Tsubasa went Judgement's Cut?
>>23059470she needs MORE POWER. She won't achieve her TRUE STRENGTH and CLAIM HER BIRTHRIGHT as the HEIR TO THE KAZANARI DYNASTY until she can at least pull off Judgement cut end, and maybe Devil Trigger
>>23059478Does Chris go wacky woohooo? I can think of this part in her AXZ transformation at least
>>23059479I think popping bullets from her cleavage into her revolvers is firmly in wacky woohoo territory
>>23059486
>>23059447They would be your quirky pseudo-twin incest dual boss that spend the 60% of the time being whimsical and silly, 40% actually speaking why they do what they do and/or feeling sorry about what they have to do
>>23059488the most amazing part is that she's forcing those bullets in the air out of pure paizuri power. Sure, some anime characters store ammo in their cleavage, but not many just squeeze them out hands free
>>23059447>>23059452>>23059491>nobody mentioning DMC DMJii
>>23059497Chris knows how to control every single part of her body

>>23059519It's a good tl. It conveys the idea of the dialogue properly. It stings so good because Kirika doesn't seem to be asking those questions out of malice. She's just innocently roasting an older generation.
>>23059510>Kirika's POV
>>23059522Young, innocent dess trying to understand her older friend
>>23059517I'm gonna go with yes, but this question depends fully on how cross-setting mechancis work. Yuji specifically knows the "shape of his soul" and his punches can hit someone in the soul. The problem is we're not sure if "souls" even exist in SG. Fine's deal is more like genetic memory, and we know the "souls acending to heaven" thing from the ending wasn't actually their souls. There's also Tsubasa's Kanade tulpa that may or may not be her soul, not to mention Fine's "sacrifice" inside Shirabe which implies there might be a soul after all? If souls exist, he can punch fine out of you. If they don't, he can't. Either way, Ryoko's base personality was completely subsumed so if enough time has passed Yuji would just end up with an empty husk after removing Fine.
...
>>23059528Keywords from season 1 say that Fine is actually a soul that takes over people so Yuji could definitely do that>Lurking in the genes of people throughout the world, Fine's true form is a revived Priestess from a prehistoric civilization who is awakened by the aufwachen wave pattern.>Many of Fine's descendants exist throughout the world, and although she may use them as a vessel to exist inside of, she only has a single soul and thus can only inhabit one at a time.
>>23059528Now I'm imagining a crossover where Kirika asks Yuji to punch Fine out of her only for it to do nothing cause Fine is in Shirabe, leading to an increasingly uncomfortable Yuji wanting to stop
>>23059534 (me)Now that I think about it, it would be a good idea to have keywords from all the seasons be linked in the OP. Consequences of jrpg writing are too harsh when most people don't know autistic shit like keywords exists
>>23059519Doing god's work anon
>>23059536Get me a link and I'll include them, I thought they weren't translated
>>23059545I googled "symphogear keywords" and there's some blogspot with all per season. Also found just now that yamete tomete made a page with them, yt version is probably more trustworthy ighttps://symphogear.blogspot.com/2014/03/symphogear-keyword-compendium.htmlhttps://wiki.poweris.moe/wiki/Main_Page
>>23059549Though the blogspot version has after what episode you can read the keywords which is nice so maybe both are fine to be linked
>>23059510Kiri-chan please don't bully your elders.
>>23059559>for my ageCome on, Maria isn't that old.
>>23059556Wait what the blogspot version actually has way more keywords, definitely link that

>>23059573Wikiri
Did Prelati and Cagliostro get to choose how their female bodies looked?If so, why did Prelati make hers short and flat? Is she stupid?
>>23059587Eithera) Prelati is a lolicon and wanted to be a lolib) kid advantage where nobody takes you seriously and you can just do whatever you want
>>23059587they both chose their preferred type
>>23059588>a) Prelati is a lolicon and wanted to be a loliWell, she did rape and kill all those kids with Gilles
>>23059486i always think of her air juggling durandal at the end of s1
>>23059549that's not all the key words just so know, several of them have never been translated.
>>23059597Oh, well that's still better than having no keywords at all. Is there some site or scans with all keywords that I could take too long to translate the rest?
>>23059598They're just on the websites. If you compare the XV website with the YT wiki for example, you'll find that the website has 77 while the wiki only has 70. Just going by memory, keywords like "Ogawa family" "God's light" and "National defense blade Murakumo" are missing. I'd prefer you don't translate anything unless you're actually confident in your abilities though, the english wiki already has enough complete bullshit on it as is
>>23059597>several of them have never been translatedoooh secret lore dess
>>23059614>I'd prefer you don't translate anything unless you're actually confident in your abilities thoughI'll take a look and if it's way harder than the comics I won't bother. Since from what you said like 95% is translated it probably won't be missed
I have to admit, at first I didn't like neither Shirabe or Kirika but now I genuinely like them, reminds me of those teen "lesbian" couples I see at anime cons. Funny, in adorable way.
>>23059623shirabe got 1000000 reputation points from me when she apologized near the end of G
>>23059615you probably don't want to know half the stuff in there to be honest, every few months I get a kick out of telling people here that the ghosts at the end of XV aren't ghosts for example.
>>23059631Ellaborate
>>23059618Looked up the Ogawa family one and it would take way longer than needed while being not really useful knowledge. I'll post a deepl snippet about Ogawa's younger brother because it's a bit funny.>The youngest brother, Suteinu. He is free from the old customs on the condition that he does not inherit any of the secrets of the family, including the inheritance. Currently, he works at a host club “Absolute Zero” in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, As the No. 4 host “Aran,” he still lives in the darkness of the night.
>>23059623And I'm the crazy one for not liking Hibiki at the start
>>23059634He showed up in XDU, I think
>>23059623I don't like them because it's like looking at what I can never have. Perhaps sexual frustration? I don't really get the feeling.Otherwise, nice girls, makes me even more depressed what would be of them without their gears or each other in the wild.
>>23059623I just love the energy they irradiate. It's just pure love without baggage.
>>23059633They're fakes/simulations
>>23059637Could be worst, I loved Hibiki since day one and I got cucked by Miku.
>>23059646I like Chris the most who's free use for the other geahs so yeah
>>23059637Oh, I hated Hibiki's guts in S1. She grew on me over time, though.
>>23059645Shem ha doing some trolling I never expected.
>>23059633Yggdrasil has been recording everything since earth's creation. Its information libraries are the Akashic records. When the Gears overload Yggdrasil, all of human history leaks out as light, and because the data is so vast, the Gears can only recognize familiar data, such as the people they love.both xdu and shirabe meshi have directly referenced this keyword.

>>23059651>"Okay, looks like it's time for me to be a good Uncle Brother and actually address Tsubasa's probl-">"Okay, everybody! I'm here to say the dumbest thing possible in this situation!"
My questions is how do japs get to know all of that about Annuaki, Yggdrasil, Akashic records and the rest of that. Did they have a phase in history where it was the trendy stuff or something? Can't see the way they get into it
>>23059663All that Mysticism stuff got really popular in the 80s/90sWhere did you think SMT came from?
>>23059660And after that event Genjuro never bothered again to be proper family to Basa
>>23059666So the answer is that they had a phase where it was trendy to learn about that. Symphogear is the only series that I'm interested in that has mysticism as part of the story so I never had a reason to look it up
>>23059663Kaneko is like 60 or some shit, the guy has seen some shit. Personally, I'd be scared to shitpost about the greek/european financial crisis and iraq WMD in my 2010's lesbo anime, but he doesn't give a fuck
>>23059678The Iraq invasion caught me by surprise, I don't remember any other jap media doing the same as much as they like shitting on the US.
>>23059641Maybe not sexual frustration, but emotional knowing you're not together with your destined partner?
>>23059693The shitting on USA happens mostly in manga that nowadays will never get adapted because of the shitting. 2013 was a very different time with Americans being less buckbroken than now
>>23059697If you want a current example then the manga Tsuyoshi not only has a dream scene with Putin being beaten by the MC there's also a plot point that the USA is the real ruler of japan and they do whatever they want
>>23059697Besides this shitty isekai it mostly flies over my head these days. I can't think of any I smooth brained it.
>>23059669Come XV and he goes all "we'll kill my sister/niece if we must".

Watching Symphogear for the first time, on Episode 3>"It's been a month and they still can't get along?"Gee, Genjuro, I sure wonder if that has anything to do with Tsubasa's clearly unadressed traumas and Hibiki telling her to her face that she'll replace her deceased friend
>>23060134Hibiki is denser than tungsten, but Genjuro is not that far behind
>>23060134>Tsubasa-san I know I'm useless, but I'll try my best to replace Kanade-sanGod I love her so much. Males character don't develop at all in the entire series so just write them off and Hibiki remains dumb as a bag of hammers the entire show, but her age goes up by one.
>>23060143I dunno, I feel like Shirabe gets a decent amount of development all things considered
>>23060145But Shirabe is not a male, right, RIGHT?????
>>23060138>tungstenMore like neutron star.

>>23060889They're a 50/50 studio and in this case Prinsession looks promising. They got Agematsu and Elements Garden to do the music and Nyaruko-san author for the script. Plus it's backed by King Records that is banking on it to become successful so they won't allow it to be bad.The fights in 2nd half of the trailer look quite good for fights against basic mooks.https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=princess%20session%20orchestra

>>23060911I really like some adaptations of the light novel trash they did like Rakudai Kishi no Cavalryhttps://youtu.be/PkzB3GXQFNM?si=qDnStJViPP0_nAJoPlus the staff they have on the series looks pretty good like the art director who was responsible for Gurren Lagann, CG Director who worked on Rakudai or Eminence in Shadow which is peak trash and the Director also isn't bad. Agematsu is apparently also executive producer, the only thing missing for now is who does key animation but I'm more positive than negative towards Prinsession
>>23060909Kuro?Sexually assaulting people?Never!
>>23060930 (me)I want to add that while studios are for sure important in the quality guessing game, a lot off skilled staff and animators are working on a contract basis as freelancers and also each studio usually has multiple different teams which they choose depending on how important the anime is supposed to be

I just can't get myself to give a shit about an anime for little girls unless the nyaruko author uses it to shitpost as much as nyaruko. The usual Kaneko autism won't be enough for me

>>23059324By S4E1 Hibiki has managed to manifest spear-like qualities by turning her fist into a drill-bit and literally going giga-drill breaker straight through a battleship.
>>23059355>"Enchanted Bow Ichaival"Ichaival wasn't the name of a bow. It was the name of a particular forest of yew trees blessed by one of the Nordic gods of war. The name literally means "valley of the yew trees" iirc.Also interesting is that yew wood is the wood from which the cross was made from which Christ was hung; and symbolically is very strong within Christianity.Hence the name Chris - as in Christina - as in Christ. And why her hair is platinum white. Like the wool of a lamb. The sacrificial lamb to which was equated God sacricifing his son Christ to absolve man's sins. (What? You though Chris being a child sex-slave didn't have any more symbology attached than "let's just make her past miserable and broken"? Well- guess again!)
>>23059486That was a Grenadier reference, fwiw.
>>23059528>>23059534There's also the fact that when Kirika and Shirabe turned on each other at the tail end of G, Kirika used an attack on Shirabe that was allegedly capable of rending and destroying souls. Which it ended up doing, when Finè drifting around in there traded places with Shirabe and offered herself up to die instead.I.e. Kirika wasn't being a chuuni. She can legit reap souls. An absolute Dess-scythe.

Man, we really are missing stuff from lack of translated keywords
>>23061215watch out Kiri, there's a banana peel on the ground!
What keywords? dess.
>>23061252Japanese have this autistic concept of "keywords" where they explain important lore outside of the anime/game under specific keywords (names of characters, places, events or items) like the fact that Vanessa from NR is a jeethttps://wiki.poweris.moe/wiki/Vanessa
>>23061255Most of the ones from XV are translated, haven't checked the others but G is missing some important stuff like Igalima
>>23061255>She hails from Stanley, Hong Kong
>>23061259>is the daughter of the president of Hammer Films (her father is British of Indian descent). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley,_Hong_Kong
Is there anything in the Keywords that makes NR good characters?
>>23061263Define "good" in NR's case

>>23061866Everything the Annunaki have ever done is because they're assmad about having hit a biological dead end as a race, so they made Yggdrasil to analyze the path life takes, to open up their own future.
