>>23754585Bird on head Shirabe > Bird on head Kirika
And so whenever the world feels bleak and cruel a small sliver of love breaks the clouds and in that moment as you hold that fragile miracle you can't help but hold out hope for the world.
Shirabe of House Tsukuyomi, Samurai of the Japanese Empire. Happy birthday.
Birthday sex.
>>23754922forbidden pairings?
Nanjo celebrated Shirabe’s birthday.
How am I supposed to take anything in the show seriously after this scene where Genjuro casually beats all the gear users?
>>23756295He is just that cool.
At least the whore outfits keep memory alive.
>>23756321damnable succubi
>>23756321This makes me imagine the outfits are too lewd to show.
>>23756321Shirabe looks like she is using nail guns
>>23756321Of course Kirika would use something non-credible like an M202.

>>23756424Shemmy Night Club
>>23756295Genjuro is exceptionally powerful for a human, but unfortunately, the mooks of the series dissolve normal humans on contact so he can't actually do the fighting.He's also Tsubasa's cousin (Her mom fucked her grandpa and cucked her "dad" to conceive Tsubasa and gramps also got some fucked up weird demon powers or something) so it's a family thing.
>>23756707>He's also Tsubasa's cousinHe's her brother. And he's a bad one.
>>23756295YES GENJURO BEAT HER ASS
i can't eat my sister's ass...
>>23756707>Tsubasa is reacting poorly to hypnosis triggering years of accumulated traume. She's being a burden for everyone so you have my authorization to kill her if necessary >What? The cloudy day made you feel down, Chris-kun? Don't worry, I bet a new jacuzzi in your condo will fix that

I heard Tsubasa got into Honkai Impact recently

>Saint Seiya Heaven arc is gonna come out before the Symphogear movie
>>23757263Pray hope that Kaneko isn't distracted by whatever leftover projects he's supposed to finish. Though, I have a feeling that this time it's going to be Agematsu turn to be distracted...
>>23756707>Genjuro is exceptionally powerful for a human, but unfortunately, the mooks of the series dissolve normal humans on contact so he can't actually do the fightingEven with this being the case it doesn't make sense why he would be spending 98% of the series reacting to a screen. If he went out and fought with the girls (let them handle the noise while he would fight the gear user/alchemist/monster) then the season would be over in two episodes. It irked me when he owned Fine in S1 but she still came out ahead in that interaction, this scene here really just soured everything for me. Like I guess it might have been done for a gag but I dont see whats funny about making all your heroes look like a bunch of chumps. S4 in general just seems like a huge drop off in writing quality that I kinda dont even wanna finish it. I do like Tikki and Adam tho, hopefully he throws another nuke so Bikki can punch it back at him or something. I don't wanna seem like a downer or complain too much about the series you all enjoy but those are just my honest thoughts.
>>23757394everything past G is pretty poorly writtenthen there was that one season where the songs didn't even have the correct styletrash
>>23757394I a way I see it as a tool to avoid the classic fan fight about who's stronger, like" "stop fighting about which Geah is better, they all have a role and Genjuro is stronger than all of them anyways".
GX and XV has obvious writing issues, AXZ a little, but "the joke character that punches explosions because he watched Jackie Chan isn't solving everything" isn't one of them
>>23757155HI3 is the closest thing we have to a symphogear game and it's sad I still like it
>>23757394It was funny when we were just a one season wonder and didn't have to think to hard about the consequences. A lot of season 1feels really distant from how the rest of the show would go.>S4 in general just seems like a huge drop off in writing qualityOh boy if you think S4 was the drop off what till you get to 5. Frankly I thought 4 was a big step over 3 if only because of the gear pair mix ups. 5 was just the worst of everything.
>>237575995 still beats 3, 3 is the very bottomAlso I don't think 1 fucked up much when it comes to lore compared to later entries? Everything still more or less lines up. Genjuro being OP was always part of Symphogear.
>>23757611No 5 is the worst. Anything wrong with 3 was rolled back instantly. 3 didn't do lasting damage. 3 wasn't the last grand hurrah of the franchise. People died in 5 and there's no fixing a lot of this shit.
>>23757618You can fix 5 by changing one or two choices. Like, if you were to make the last 4 episodes focused on Shemmy (keep Noble Rust dead) and stick the landing with the character arcs, it would work very well. It would be remembered as a solid season.You can't fix 3 without changing almost everything about it. The self contained episodes were shit. Maria learning about weakness thanks to Elfnein discussing volleyball or some bullshit is fundamentally retarded. The characters arcs weren't just clumsy, they were just BAD except maybe the Zababbies one because it was so generic.
>>23757623You could change a lot of things a lot of ways but we got what we got. That it could've been avoided or different is immaterial.
>>23757644What this means is that XV has tons of good stuff but fails to stick the landing (last 4 episodes). GX is fucked from episode 2 onwards and from that point every episode just throws dumb shit at you. It's relentless. That's the difference.
>>23757646GX at least gave the girls screen time. XV was a torture parade ontop of barely using the main cast. Chris had next to zero impact or lines and despite being a major plot point Tsubasa's arc was an after thought to making sure a retarded dog and remorseless cyborg and vampire could cry about how unfair it is they can't murder.
>>23757655Can you honestly say you like Maria's fucking triple jobbing episode?Yes, Chris not being a part of Tsubasa's arc is a huge problem, but at least Chris just vanishes offscreen instead of shooting at her teammates for some contrived one episode character arc. And GX has like 4 of those, BACK TO BACK. It's so fucking jarring. By the way Chris has one of the best character episodes and it's still quite bad.
>>23757656>Can you honestly say you like Maria's fucking triple jobbing episode?I like it more than >WE CAN'T BRING A HUGE PORTION OF OUR TEAM ON OUR MISSION TO SAVE TSUBASA! THAT MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED HER BRO DAD'S DEATH! And you want to talk back to back? I got one word. AMALGAM! >Did the badguy win the fight? OH LOOK THAT DUST CLOUD GAVE WAY TO REVEAL THE HERO POWERED UP AND ENDS THE FIGHT!BACK TO BACK TO BACK!
>>23757659See, these issues are Frodo "why didn't they use the eagles" tier. They're plotholes (why couldn't they bring more people) or in the case of Amalgam just reused action scene motif, which can be acceptable (didn't really bother me and it didn't happen like you said, Chris and Hibiki charged with Amalgam into Vanessa with a rider kick for instance).The issues with Maria's triple jobbing aren't just that she jobbed thrice in one episode, it's the entire content. How does she learn to be better? Elfnein tells her about the fucking volleyball thing. It's like I'm watching a Saturday morning cartoon for 10 year old kids.
>>23757557Tamsoft could make a Geah musou but it would need to include a minigame where you molest Geahs
>>23757665>minigame where you molest GeahsJust make it part of the fight choreography
>>23757662>See, these issues are Frodo "why didn't they use the eagles" tier.Except Frodo not using the eagles isn't a plot hole. They don't use the eagles because the eagles will covet the ring and toss them overboard. They don't use the eagles because they're trying to be sneaky and eagles flying in are a huge sign that says SHOOT ME WITH ARROWS AND FLYING NAZGUL! There's actual logical reasons to consider and should know if you weren't some brain dead fuck knuckle looking to jump the gun and play cinema sins. That's not a plot hole. Meanwhile in XV There's no reason not to bring the whole team. There's no reason Genjuro and Ogawa should have been so quick to throw Tsubasa under the bus. This isn't just a case of plot holes. It's a case of massive character assassination. Ogawa and Gejuro are wretched disloyal people now. Hibiki has gone beyond retarded and has retreated sub season 1 character development and is not only callous to what's going on with Miku but how to help Tsubasa. And none of it was fixed at the end.
>>23757662One does not simply fly into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just the Nazgul. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand eagles could you do this. It is folly. Dess.
AXZ is good and I'll die on that hill.
>>23757670AXZ was fine. It and XV just should have been more tightly plotted given they were announced simultaneously
>>23757670It is>>23757668>Except Frodo not using the eagles isn't a plot holeOh God I'm not talking about the specifics of LOTR eagles, I'm explaining the difference between "why didn't they just X?" and "oh wow this narrative is just shit">There's no reason Genjuro and Ogawa should have been so quick to throw Tsubasa under the busSee, this is an actual legitimate complaint. Plotholes can be a bit of an issue but far less than "Genjuro shouldn't throw his sister under the bus", which is an actual character butchering moment.
>>23757678>Oh God I'm not talking about the specifics of LOTR eagles, I'm explaining the difference between "why didn't they just X?" and "oh wow this narrative is just shit"And I'm saying you used a bad example.
>>23757679It's a meme you dip!
>>23757681communicating through memes is a sign of low intelligence and brain rot.
>>23757682
>>23757682Isn't Reddit more up your speed if you want to be pedantic like this?
>>23757682I agree, Aesop was a hack even before Jesus jumped the shark with his parables.BTW are you also severely autistic?
>>23757818>Equating Jesus and Aesop to fucking memes>BTW are you also severely autistic?Are you? Because if you don't know the difference between a meme and allegory you very well might be.
>>23757655nah i agree with the other guy. first half of xv had the dmjii happy fun times for half the episodes and at least the last half gave us sexy shemmy. gx was just fuckin shit
>>23757845>dmjii happy fun times for half the episodesIt was for TWO. Out of 13. >last half gave us sexy shemmy.It was also like two. Maybe three. Shemha was absolutely wasted.
>>23757670it was okay
>>23757682i am 99.6th percentile IQyou are a dumb retard who does not understand the glorious, holy mission God has given us to use the internets to make people happy
>>23757821Eh, this is as good a discussion as any for a dead franchise thread.What do you think is the difference between referencing e.g. “tortoise and the hare” or "why didn't they use the eagles" from a cultural perspective.There downsides for sure, different people take different lessons from Aesop’s tales let alone newer memes. But people can usually get the intended meaning from context. And in this case the poster even explained explicitly what he meant with the eagles tier comparison.BTW I didn’t mean Jesus literally jumped a shark, or if he did it’s not relevant to my point. I was using “jumped the shark” in the sense of the meme that originated from the Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped over a shark and is seen as a mark of the irrevocable fall in the quality of that particular cultural product. I used it here to humorously suggest Jesus’s parables was that point of fall in quality for story’s that are referenced as a part of any exchange exchange of ideas.>>23757899And what did the memes achieve for him? A horrible death that’s what.I hope we all learned that lesson

dess
>>23758029What is she using as padding?
>>23758010Midwit guy acts smart, reveals stupidity
>>23758012NTA, but I’m feeling condescending today so…Dunning Kruger refers to the theory that there is a level of wisdom where a person is unaware of their state of ignorance, and so is happy to express stupid opinions with a great deal of confidence. “Peak of Mt. Stupid” is this illustration >>23758011.The poster is obviously suggesting >>23757682 is one such stupid opinion expressed confidently.While not an allegory, “Duning Kruger happened today” does require the reader to have knowledge that has not been referenced in and is not the subject of prior discussion. In that way it is another demonstration of the use of concepts from general cultural knowledge in conversation to try and express an idea succinctly.Whether Dunning Kruger is a meme is up to you to decide.

It's commendable how bad symphogear subs are, and it's not like they all have the same errors, they all complement each other instead, so for certain lines one is better than the other, but then the roles switch for another line
>>23759362Just don't be autistic.
>>23759364>just read something completely random that's barely passable for the context, don't care about the missed information and poor practices for your media broHow about no
>>23759362it's not that bad but definitely an issue since there are no definitive subs
>>23759364actually, the answer is to be more autistic and jut learn Japanese.
>>23759368You are being autistic, I just told you not to do that.
>>23759364
>>23759337Chris is also a big eater. She and Kanade should have a food contest.

>>23759639Chris is just as messy when she eats ass.
Imagine if Chris had had a kid and he grew up to become a child soldier and then a mercenary
imagine if you make the same retarded posts referencing things nobody knows or cares about over and over and over and over

>>23759364Come on some parts are so bad you can tell even if you're not studying JapaneseWhat baffles me is that we got multiple releases that were supposed to fix this, only to retranslate stuff that was fine into something worse, so at the end we didn't even manage to achieve something that's still rough but at least could be considered objectively better than commieAnd someone is probably brewing the 7th BD collection with "fixed" subs right now
>>23759364Dude you're in a general about a zombie franchise that died 4 and half years ago
I hear a lot of complaining and not enough fixing
>>23760502not you again
I will punch Chris tummy
>>23760452>those translators who sub in "pancakes" for "okonomiyaki">initially it made all those dialogues that reference them seem weird because who the hell goes out for pancakes as an afternoon snack with their friends>when pancakes became trendy in the Japan and the West as social events due to social media it makes the trade even worse because it muddles if they're actually going out for pancakes or okonomiyaki
