I removed the GX pastebin and MEGA link since both are dead and/or empty. I think I can make a new MEGA folder for the GX stuffs, but I just want to make sure on what their contents are since I'm not the original uploader.

>>23591585I ... forgot about that as well. Reminds me in, uh, a week from now, when it's inevitable to make a new thread?
>>23591596DO NOT TOOT IT!

>>23591609>But why, dess.>That's Gabriel's trumpet, one of the most powerful ancient relics>...>Blowing that horn will indicate the second coming of Christ, which means it will cause the apocalypsis.>...>It will kill everyone>*breathes* too-
>>23591627>"Alright, here's how we'll arrange the battles for the rest of the season. Hibiki, Death is the leader and you're the MC, so you'll be fighting her">"Chris, for thematic purposes, you'll be fighting War">"Maria, for reasons that should be obvious, you'll be fighting Famine. Tsubasa, you're Maria's Designated Interaction Character, so you'll be fighting alongside her">"Kirika and Shirabe, Conquest is the only one left, so you'll be fighting her"
God this Himel watchthrough exposed the X retards again>posts videos of Adam going "I HATE HIM HE'S THE WORST HE SHOULD BE KILLED">X trannies unanimously agree and cheer for TOTAL ADAM DEATH, calling him the worst and most irredeemable characterHe's not even the worst dude in his own season. The Alchemists were mowing down innocents and only one of them had an actual ideological reason to do so.Cute girls just fucking melt people's brains. They start SEETHING at disgusting male villains while cheering for their quirky cute mass murderering girls (male)
>>23591712Prelati is a rapist pedophile and child murderer, by the way
>>23591717Is that from the keywords or something?
>>23591712Why is the Hero watching Symphogear?No wonder it took them 10 years to get things done...
>>23591720It's from the historical PrelatiAnd XDU confirmed it, only reason she stopped is that St Germain would kill her otherwise
>>23591720Prelati was the guy who helped gilles de rais (funny murder guy from fate/zero) commit his atrocities in real life>>23591727even before XDU it was pretty much canon if you put 1+1 together, Château de Tiffauges (non-flying) is a real castle in France that was owned by Gilles. AXZ keyword then states that while Carol used the flying one, Prelati was involved in its construction.https://www.symphogear-axz.com/keywords/key33.php
Little by little, the idol becomes a normal person. Motorcycle insurance rates have lowered due to less crashes.
>>23591783>Prelati was the guy who helped gilles de rais (funny murder guy from fate/zero)And this is what Prelati looks like in Fate
>>23591712All that Adam needed was a friend, as shown by AU Adam and Carol's dad
Symphogearcore
>>23591804to be fair, reading the book "snow crash" convinced me that Kaneko must have read it too with how many similarities there are, which really surprised me because I figured Kaneko was the same typ of creator as Nasu Kinoko, where they just consume anime, games and tabletop shit.
>>23591811Nasu seems to at the very least know a fair bit of Arthuriana, to be fair

>Regular High School AU>Faculty is Genjuro as principal, Mamu as vice principal, Ryoko as science teacher, Fine as history teacher, nobody notices they are the same person, Ogawa as PE teacher, Carol as chemistry teacher, Tomosato and Fujitaka as homeroom teachers in different classes, Ven is the janitor>Students are Hibiki, Miku, Tsubasa, Chris, Shirabe, Kirika, Elfnein, Anime Ja Nai, Kuriyo, Shiori, the dolls, Leiur's imouto, Kanade, and Serena>Fudo is the superintendent>Tsubasa is student council president, Chris is a transfer student, and Tsubasa REALLY wants Chris to rely on her>Kanade had an athletic accident the year before. Tsubasa thinks she's dead, but she's really still alive>Maria is Kirika, Shirabe, and Serena's guardian, and is constantly spying on/worrying about them in school>Nephilim is the school mascot>Saint Germain is the math teacher, she's very good at counting>Cagliostro is the school nurse who's cool with letting people skip class in her office>Prelati is the school librarian. Often gets mistaked for one of the students at school>Adam is basically his XDU self but as the school art teacher.>Noble Red are delinquents from the school down the road who regularly pop in to mess with the Geahs, though they're about as effective in their antics as the Doronjo gang.>Shemmy is a completely separate character from Miku like that one April Fools event, has a running gag where she gets mistaken for Miku on the regular.>Each season ends with the school getting blown up (First season by one of Ryoko/Fine's experiments in the science lab, second season by Ver, etc) only to appear reconstructed like nothing at the start of the following
Kirika nooooo!
>>23591574Then Elf9's tulpa would have had a friend to play with.
>>23591561I don't know what that means but if the Japanese are latching onto our Pepsi mean I will be rather amused.

>>23592201when life gets tough always rember happy day
>>23592201By looking at Kiripics.
>>23592201I just have to make it to 2045. Once I save them, I can finally rest, knowing the girls will all grow up into women with good grades.
>>23592201Watching Princession.
>>23592207I don't see how Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Tom Bosley are going to help.
>>23592244Ayyyyy

Will you watch Ghost Concerto?

>>23592348A project Agematsu started in 2018 that is getting an anime next yearHistorical figures come back in 2045 and fight with music
>>23592304she'll get fat
>>23592357Depends on the historical figures I suppose.
Do you guys think Luffy and Hibiki would get along?
>>23592381no. not at first anyways.
>>23592357Sure, it's more Elements Garden.
>>23592344I think I have to pass on that one. Calling it the spiritual successor of Geah while only having Agematsu in it is kinda disingenuous
>>23591791>friendI don't think they were just friends, anon
>>23592450I guess now we know why he never fucked Tiki.
>>23592457It's honestly very sad that Tiki never got covered in XDU. Because Kanadeverse Adam isn't a dickhead he never had a reason to have her build. Foreverly doomed character
>>23592503He'd still have reason to build her as a way to cheat out Divine Power, because if he doesn't get something good than his mommy will beat him like a rented mule when she comes back.
>>23592201Indulging in materialism... JP vacay right now but it's ending soon. Didn't see much Symphogear merch aside from the used Act Modes and 1/7 Gear statues. Saw their art in Pachinko shops though.
>>23591712Them hating him means Adam succeeded in being an antagonist...but they're definitely looking at it in the most superficial way for sure. Motherfucker wasn't human so no shit he's like that.
Whoah, Symphogear songs are still heard in Japan.
>>23592504This is only kinda hinted at in a later event and they'll never expand on it now, but I'm pretty sure Kanadeverse Adam was abandoned by the Annunaki even earlier than the prime one was, and fears them less because of it. He had some lines about how he was "lacking a purpose" and had to find his own, and the premise of the golden memories event is that a shapeshifter impersonates an Annunaki to give Adam orders he is incapable of rejecting. In the Symphogear 4.5 flashback Enki already lists prime Adam as a failure in a conversation with Fine, because he instantly went full Skynet on everything less perfect than him when they put him into action.
>>23592526I wonder how, it's been 6 years since the last anime aired.>Symphogear vs. Aquarion never
>>23592516>JP vacayWhich spots do you recommend? I heard tokyo is shit now.
>>23592519The Trannies were objectively more evil, but the dude was still fucking retarded because he didn't solve the critical weakness to his Divine Power before taking all of his most powerful pieces off the board.I mean all he had to do was kill Hibiki and to do that all he had to do was concentrate his forces in a few traps they couldn't ignore.
>>23592201This anon >>23592212 has the right idea
>>23591556It is extremely disturbing that nobody bothered to properly archive HiBiKi Radio until now.
>>23592566A young girl walks into a psychiatrist's office, she goes to the doctor and says "Doc you gotta help me, life seems harsh and cruel, she feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain." Doc says treatment is symbol. Just watch Kirika for a while. That should pick you up. The girl bursts into tears and says "Dess."
>>23592576Like if you cry everytim.
>>23592576>But doctor, I am Paglaicci dess!
>>23592561Enjoyed the spots outside of tokyo more. Theres tourists everywhere now, so if possible find areas where you can spend more time with local and residential districts. Also anything near nature. Hakone was nice despite being a tourist spot too.
>>23592800>HakoneJust admit it, Anon. You're doing touge, aren't you?
>>23592870Translation for gaijin?
Don't be scared by wolves this Halloween. The full moon won't be until next month. You'll be fine as long as you stay in well lit areas.
FIS girls should dress like Noble Red for Halloween and Noble Red should dress up like Geahs.
>>23593010Which of the Noble Red would Frank Grimes their Geah cosplay?
Last thread (Or was it the thread before?) I got some very helpful feedback on my Symphogear TSF. I thought I'd show the newest version and see what everyone thinks of it.
>>23593010noble red should dress like noble team
>>23593124and be dead?
>>23593095Looks neat. I would guess is strong enough to tear BETA apart.Speaking of crossovers, I actually started writing a crossover with the Raildex series.>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hYdCZtkGSZvQs_C-twuXaJzcnwOiQxi6/view?usp=drive_linkEven created a mashup title for it.
>That one guy got to XVWonder if Twitter's gonna defend Noble Red
why don't you talk about it on twitter where it belongs? are you too much of a sperg to respond to some twitter tranny what you say here?
>>23593363Twitter was a mistake. The "anime community" was a mistake. People should only take about anime in obscure forums and imageboards.
>>23593380Thanks, Kiri. Whenever I'm going through something hard you're always there to make me smile.
>>23593350They absolutely are going to wank it to NR's redemption and Hibiki's empathy after busting a load to TOTAL ADAM DEATHThis guy rated Geah as 10/10, 100/10, 1000/10..... eg he's claiming the series is only getting better in a slightly hyperbolic way. This clearly shows we're not going to see a single critical thought, or even a single ACTUAL thought coming from him. I'd get more interesting views on the series coming from ChatGPT
>>23593653I still can't believe he got mad at Adam kicking TikiNot even the franchise cares about her
>>23593689Dude is a soulless bot who shits out engagement maximizing tweets rather than anything meaningful. Might be an actual bot, I can see an LLM register "bad guy abuses X" and turn it into a "wow! he's so evil! he's the worst of the worst!" reaction.He watched the concert slaughter and had no reactions besides "wow! That show is unhinged! Such gore! Reminds me of the prologue". Not a single thought for what it means for Tsubasa, her dream of being a singer, the 6 digits kill count and how Noble Shits mogged Saint Germain in a single night for entirely selfish reasons. Back to wanking it to mommy Vanessa instead, that'll drive engagement, right? People like the mommies
>>23593694Well, at least other people are more critical>Symphogear’s biggest flaw is that it doesn’t know what to do with Tsubasa so it just pile on more trauma for her>This is the worst season ever for a Tsubasa fan, I can never be part of the XV glazing. The show treats her like trash and completely regresses her character development then never goes back to fix it.>God I hate this part of XV>To this day it feels like a massive regression that makes the whole main cast look like a bunch of incompetents who learned nothing from the past 5 seasons>Ah, the scene with that infamous girl that gets so much fan art nowadays and is a major kill from Millaarc. Surely they won’t try to make me feel sorry for this villain, especially with a supposed large kill count.>This is why I hate the enemies in XV, you know~ (Tl'd from Japanese)>To do something like this and then say stuff like "I want to go back to being a normal person~" is just too monstrous, isn't it? (Tl'd from Japanese)>I hate this so I don't really wanna rewatch just xv. (Tl'd from Japanese) >Because of this, even though I'm a voice actress named Aimin, >I ended up hating Millaarc. (Tl'd from Japanese)
>>23593709I guess even the X part of the community can't let that slide so easily... but that's only because it's affecting a character they like (cute girl). Imagine if NR did the exact same thing but without actually mindbreaking Tsubasa (maybe they have to kill 70k people to get some relic or whatever and blow up a city or something). I'm sure the fandom would give them a pass at the end of the season.
>>23593694I mean, Vanessa design is sexy, but that's like only good thing I can say. And that goes true for any antagonist.
>>23593694To be fair if they want to maximise engagement they wouldn’t have picked Symphogear.I don’t know who this guy is, I’m not going to go out of my way to look at his tweets but nothing here seems egregious. So more people enjoying Symphogear is fine.
>>23593724I might be a bit rough here. It's just irritating to see that mix of not really engaging with the media on a basic level while also tweeting hundreds of times about it. Basically you don't have any opinion on your favorite seasons besides "oh hey it's so good it just kept getting better :) 10000/10!" but you act like a huge fan. Just pick one
>>23593726Maybe I don’t engage with young people or twitter enough to be annoyed by this. What I’ve seen here seems inoffensive. Being angry that someone is telling people they enjoy Symphogear on twitter just seems like a real waste of energy.I refuse to look into this guy to see if I should be angry, that also seems like a real waste of energy over something this harmless.
>>23593735Personally, I just think it's funny that he went>Adam kicks the one character absolutely nobody cares about>"WHAT A MONSTER ADAM NEEDS TO DIE">Millaarc's infamous concert massacre>"Woah, kinda like season one"
>>23593735Anger is an overstatement. It's somewhat interesting to see the kinds of double standards/"swept under the rug" moments people apply on this story like >>23593737 saidThe personal judgement stuff >>23593726 is more like mild bewilderment. Zoomies not really being able to earnestly engage with media isn't a new pattern alright. But then you'd expect less activity about it, rather than spamming about that media in the most soulless and empty ways possible, just mimicking fanbase memes and "performing for the crowd". It reeks of cynical insincerity. I don't think it's an entire waste of time to highlight this once or twice, we're about to see the end of this watchthrough anyway.
>>23593737Also, this has taught me that Nips hated Millarc just as much as us
>>23593740Nips are usually much more invested and level-headed in media. The western fanbase seems to converge towards a pretty rigid and restricted set of codes and memes. Nips will bring up the weird, niche stuff you never see over here and discuss the narrative a lot more. Maybe they just have more appreciation for storytelling.
>>23593740>"The biggest reason I can’t bring myself to like the rusty red gang among Symphogear’s enemies is this: “the way the perpetrators keep causing harm while still thinking like victims.”>"Unlike Fine, Ver, or the Pavaria Ments, who are consistently portrayed as enemies, these guys try to evoke sympathy in a weird way, which just makes me even more irritated."
>>23593752They overplay the victim card and also take up too much screentime, which would've been better used with Shem-Ha.
Another interesting part about NR vs Ver/Adam reception is that you'll see the retarded parts of the fandom perform some cute cushioning for the formerWhen Ver does bad things "we need him dead", when they show Millaarc's mug after her 6 digits murder spree it's "here we believe in women's rights AND wrongs!". It's funny and endearing!
>>23593762That's just simple double standards because one has big tits and the other doesn't. That and the evil woman crowd will be more willing to defend them.
>>23593762Neither Ver or Adam had a sobbing backstory to feel you sorry for them ( if you're dumb )
>>23593769Adam actually has a decent reason for what he's doing. Hell, he tried speaking with the girls a lot in the last two episodes. If Hibiki was written like she was in GX or XV she'd have tried talking to him and there would be some back and forth. She just..... didn't.
I wish Ver got a song.
>>23593770Sorry, anon, don't have many fond memories of axz, so I only remember him being a scrapped prototype, which is an intresting concept, but not as tearjerk as female antagonists
>>23593794In my heart he has onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtFGRci8PVQ
the real truth of xv https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/136792883
https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/20459118/#20460810This general gets weird sometimes
>>23593850>It's been four years since TsubatmanWhere did time go?
>>23593756and NR playing the Victim card felt like it came out of left field after how much they enjoyed the stadium massacre.It's like when this villainous fuck, who enjoyed all of the evil shit he did, was revealed to have done all the evils in the name of the greater good. In a DLC
>>23593770The real fucked up thing is that if you compare AXZ to XV and then also consider XDU lore, the thing Adam feared so much hasn't even happened yet. He was deeply afraid of the Annunaki coming back and palying God again, Shemmy waking up because she is Shemmy is an borderline unrelated incident.
>>23593752>"The biggest reason I can’t bring myself to like the rusty red gang among Symphogear’s enemies is this: “the way the perpetrators keep causing harm while still thinking like victims.”I agree with this. Other villains owned their villainy ir at least were aware of it like Sanjermain. NR do all this obviously evil shit and shift the blame while whining that life is so hard on them. It would've been amusing if that was meant to be hypocritical but the plot plays the "tragic villain" card straight. Complete with a triumphant sendoff and Symphogeaven. That's jarring.
reminder that Elsa was supposed to be a literal wolf but somebody on the team thought it would be hard for her to show emotion
>>23594005tfw it will take 3 fucking weeks from release for this book to reach me
Honestly would have been really funny to see the alternate timeline where Milaarc reveals herself during the concert to launch an attack and immediately gets punched into a mountain by a waiting Hibiki cuz they all pretty much figured something like this could happen
What would you like to see if Symphogear got in SRW?>Hibiki bonds with Shinjiro over having trouble with sword-wielding experienced teammates>Tsubasa gets a special with Ange and Fate, since I'm already going full fanfiction>Gendo and The Claw try to hijack Shemmy's plan>Hibiki asks Genjuro to do the greeting of the School of the Undefeated of the East after seeing Domon and Master Asia do it>Genjuro and Taiga are old friends>Disc X-Drive>The Custodians and the Protoculture are the same>Shemmy teams up with Embryo while they both bicker like an old married couple>Volfogg learns Shadow Weaving>The Traffic Lights Trio hangs out with the Getter team>Obviously something with Basara, given "Listen to my song"
>>23594020>Dr Hell teams up with Carol, planning to backstab herThis is purely because I think Dr Hell's henchmen interacting with the Autoscorers would histerical
Disgusting vampire. Unhand her.
Given Fuuto PI and Princession, I wonder if Ghost Concert will have Shinais every episode
>>23594032Millaarc looks younger than Winglet here. And I am here for it.
Who wins?
>>23593922he was revealed to do that at the end of the gamedoesn't make him a good character but it was in there
>>23593973kaneko is the same age as the typical person who is vulnerable to the victim card it is what it is
>>23594054>he was revealed to do that at the end of the gameits a DLC retcon. Alongside the whole "he was literally Jesus" and "Bahamut is evi;" bullshit
>>23594060no it's not, i played it on release, he tells you that he was a healer or something and tried to save everyone by eating the sickness and then he turned evil right at the end
>>23594072I also played that early access trash on release and he said none of that
>>23594076you just memoryholed it because it was kind of a bad game
>>23594078and I think that revelation (if it actually happened) was at the end of that god awful dungeon with the ring and right before the Bahamut plot dump
>>23594045I'd rather see them duke it out in a rap battle throwing sick rhymes at each other.
>>23594094Shirabe has pits so she wins btw
>>23594095Kiri always wins in my heart.
>>23594184fuck off twitter tranny
>>23593805In my heart it sounds more like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLjI7t3s8Sw
>>23594198how do you know it's from Twitter?
