Symphogear XV ep 6. See,
Symphogear is the symphogeariest because literal boob-missiles aren’t even the craziest part of the ep.
Loved the scene with the Gears around the table, inadvertently hurting each other and just not knowing how to deal with what happened.
I feel like they could’ve done the emotional manipulation angle without using magic. I guess they didn’t want to make the character feel weak, but she (and everyone) was already in a very vulnerable place.
O Maidens ep 6. The club makes an unexpected decision. I do agree with the justification of indulging in normie tastes once in awhile, but I’m not sure if that’s the real reason Sonezaki agreed to do it.
Kazusa’s lack of confidence is very relatable. Niina’s attempt to force things was understandable but I don’t know if this is the right way to go about it, for Kazusa’s sake. Kazusa blowing up was fun, though.
Unsurprisingly, Sonezaki’s relationship has barely started and it’s already showing cracks. This reminds me of BGS, except less supernatural. The guy is seemingly immune to social pressures, while the girl’s actions are dictated almost entirely by social pressures. Unlike BGS, I don’t feel like this is going to have a happy ending.
This “indirect play” that Hongo is doing is so fucking awkward. Whatever gets her (creative) juices flowing, I guess. The goalposts getting moved on her was pretty unfair (and kinda felt like the author airing out grievances, lol) but it’s curious that the show doesn’t dwell on that. It just used it as a springboard to an even more problematic story.
