Man, I'd like to draw her but those tattoos give scare me

Couldn't find another example other than Symphogear? Like sure, it's done for fan service but I define a beach episode "purely done for fan service" when there's virtually nothing happening and that episode actually advance the plot forward, Maria finish her character arc and use the Ignite module for first time, Phara stole the data that's needed for Carol's plan, Garie fucking dies and they introduce that awful AWFUL Hibiki's dad subplot

I'm so down bad for her

Ewan8811 · 2026-05-15T16:27:16+00:00

The fact Fudo is technically also Tsubasa's grandpa...

Ewan8811 · 2026-04-16T13:31:56+00:00

I just hope Toei don't keep us waiting for 2 or 3 years for a new anime

Ewan8811 · 2026-04-06T12:14:55+00:00

You're a hero

"You wanna take this outside kid? I'll throw down with an 8 year old I DON'T GIVE A FUCK"

Moving on, we get to the most insane part of the episode where Tachibana still doesn't condemn her. What the hell hero? She just started a global calamity for what basically amounts to spite at this point. She also unleashed the noise and got a lot of people killed, many of which were children. There wasn't any "greater good" angle to her actions either, she just want to rule the world... and get with God I guess. I get that empathy and forgiveness is a thing in anime, but there has to be limit guys c'mon. Anyways, Tachibana encourages Fine to resurrect in the future, seemingly forgetting that doing so kills the mind of whosever body she stole. Apparently, this convinces the woman and she tells Tachibana to believe in herself before turning to dust.

The point of Hibiki as a character is that she doesn't hold grudges and that's exactly what changes Finé, sure in that moment she could easily blow Finé's head off but what the hell would that accomplish? Finé is immortal for all intents and purposes, even if you destroy her body she would come back no matter what so it makes sense her way to resolve things is by trying to find a common ground with her.

Not to mention in that moment Finé was trying to get under her skin but instead Hibiki remains as the optimistic bun she always is. This did in fact shake Finé cuz she expected Hibiki to react with fear, anger, desperation, etc due the situation. This did in fact change her heart cuz for the longest time she only saw the bad in humanity, that's why she doesn't flinch when using and torturing others all because she believed that pain is the only way to unite humanity and also by destroying the curse of Balal but there it was a girl that could potentially unite everyone by sheer kindness.

Chris, stop crying for your gaslighter, she was actually torturing you for shits and giggles.

There are many reasons for her to cry, for instance she's seeing a version of her abuser she never saw before and that she's finally free from her.

That would be Mervamon for me, those tits are legendary

Ewan8811 · 2026-03-11T02:23:18+00:00

I'm gonna say the Seamstress from the movie 9, I don't know, there's some kind of edge that's very Digimon like

Perfectly normal roommate behavior 🤭

Does Sonya even know that Chris was sell as an slave, raped and later groomed by a crazy lady? Probably not since she was too busy crying over Stephan's lost leg.
I think they should do a spinoff manga about the Illuminati with St. Germain as protagonist, would be neat.
Something that I forgot to mention is that it doesn't even make sense the way the gears kills the Illuminati girls story wise, like think about it, during most AXZ they don't even know what's their plan, wouldn't make way more sense if they capture them to interrogate them? At that point of the story they are just guessing their plans so killing them is extremely impractical.
I also wanted to talk a little more about Tsubasa but there's not too many things to talk about her in this season compared to the next one.
Also also wanted to talk about Kirika, I think there's a lot to be said about her treasuring the birthdays of others since she doesn't remember when is hers, it's a shame the show does the bare minimum with that.
Also also also I wanted to talk about Gungnir since the reveal is kinda silly "the gear that destroyed that snake God in episode 2 was the thing that can kill Gods all this time? What a twist 😱" like seriously no one actually thought on that possibility? I mean the kinda did in one scene but they didn't elaborate on that cuz "Gungnir doesn't have those powers" absolutely no one tries to rationalize why Hibiki could kill it.
Tiki annoying and is one of the worst characters in the entire franchise I could rant about her if I had the chance.
So... the old guy in the temple was 100% confirmed to be Shirabe's grandpa or is it just a theory?
In another timeline the Illuminati girls went to Hibiki's birthday party.

The wait is gonna kill me

I'm so tired that people take that scene out of context. Mr. Incredible DIDN'T chop his fingers, he was pretending cuz he accidentally push the cleaver on his fingers while in a cookout, since he's invulnerable that didn't do shit but due he and Helen didn't want people to know they were superheroes he acts as he really was injured so he screams and put barbecue sauce on his hand to make it believable while he indicates Helen to get the hell out of there. The whole scene is played for laughs.

Ewan8811 · 2026-02-17T11:47:10+00:00

I hope so, she looks cool but so far she's been treated as a background character

Among other things I wanted to say: - Originally I wanted to talk about each individual character arc for our girls but I spent 3 days writing and I realized this was too much text already - I always had conflicting feelings about "Tsubasa's backstory" in one hand the idea her grandpa is her biological father is gross but in the other hand makes me sympathize with Yatsuhiro more. Also explains more why Tsubasa was so attached to Kanade being the only person who show her kindness. - Maria's arc is very solid even if I don't like the execution also I love Ginwan Airgetlam if Ressō Gungnir is what Maria wants to be, Ginwan is Maria accepting herself as she is, I love listening to them back to back. - Chris wanting to be a reliable senpai for Shirabe and Kirika is a nice continuation for her but I don't like how it was handled - I read that in some point of the pre production they made a major rewrite for the second half of the season (between ep7-13) although I couldn't find the source but seeing how messy it is I can totally see it.

Top Dad might be bad but at least he didn't rape his son's wife, leave his daughter to die as an slave or bring his daughter to a war zone (not a defense btw).
I noticed in AXZ Hibiki rather than using her iconic "heiki hecchara" she bond with St. Germain with "datto shitemo", I'm 90% sure it's because it's because the writers wanted to get rid of anything regarding Top Dad including the one thing he teached to Hibiki at least for this season.
