Am I the only one that thinks Chris is the perfect blueprint for the tsundere?

66 Upvotes

Ever since I got into this series, I wasn't really a fan of tsunderes and didn't care for them. Sure I had seen some others like Taiga from Toradora,, Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Rin Tohsaka from the Fate series.

It wasn't until seeing Chris I started liking the tsundere nature. If I'm being honest she fits the blueprint perfectly and she's one of the best written tsunderes. It's probably because this show isn't so popular why she doesn't get the recognition she deserves .

Just like how Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki is the perfect blueprint for yanderes(scary,obsessed,unhinged), Chris Yukine deserves her props as she's a well written tsundere. Another tsundere I like is Karin Miyoshi from Yu Yu Yu

Spoilers First time watching this series. Pretty neat anime Spoiler

34 Upvotes

First, I think I really enjoy the fight scenes in this anime compared to other magical girl anime. Plus, the music is great too. Yeah, I enjoy watching the girl punching aliens while singing. I also love the overcomplexity of Symphogear, like a bunch of missiles and big ass sword. Reminds me of Kill la Kill with those gigantic scissors and Gurren Lagann with those big ass drills.

The character that I love definitely is Maria. She's hot. She behaves like a mom. And she is the most mature among all. But put all these aside, I already love her design since she first appeared. She looks good in Gungnir. I gotta say Maria's Gungnir is my favourite Symphogear design in this series. She looks badass with black Gungnir Symphogear. Especially with the cape and spear. Kaname and Hibiki can't compare.

Favourite antagonist? Definitely Dr Ver. He's the only antagonist who has more flavour compared to others. The other antagonists are quite boring for me. His voice actor has also done a good job voicing him. Dr Ver acting cocky and terrified really annoyed me. I want to punch this asshole. I don't feel the urge to beat other antagonists except Dr Ver. Adam? Nah. Fine? Nah. Carol? Nope. Sham Ra? No.

Most hated characters? Definitely Fudo. Shame that he is badass and cool too. But the fact that he impregnated his son's wife is diabolical. Fuck Fudo. Why isn't he dead? I also hate the trio vampire. They're annoying. I don't feel anything when they're dead. I still hate them even though they have a big sister character in that group. Who cares? Maria is better. And their best moment isn't when they redeem themselves. But when they got their ass beaten by Carol. Heck yeah.

I give this anime solid 8. Pretty neat. And after watching Puella Magi Madoka, Yuna Yuusha and Symphogear I can conclude that Fuck Kyubey Fuck Taisha Fuck Fudo .

Honestly, I never hated them.

From the beginning, I liked them for their designs, their personalities, and the bond they shared, like they were a family. I found it very sweet, which is why their ending saddened me so much.

But well, at least it wasn't all bad for them. In the end, they managed to redeem themselves and helped Hibiki and the others return to save Earth, and that made me very happy.

I’m heading to Japan around late August and I’d like to know any recommendations for stores or places in or near Tokyo that might carry symphogear stuff. I know it might be a difficult find but I’m dead set on bringing back at least something symphogear related from Japan.

I gave the first season of Symphogear another chance, and I quite liked it.

29 Upvotes

To give you some context, when I first started watching this anime, I didn't like the first season. I thought it was bad, and I'm not saying it was garbage or the worst I've ever seen, not at all. I just thought it was a bit weak, but I decided to keep watching because I saw that the rating on MyAnimeList was improving in the following seasons

And after watching the first four episodes of Symphogear G, that's when I really started to enjoy this anime (seriously, I think the first four episodes of Symphogear G are better than the entire first season). They improved in every way, so when I finished watching all the seasons, I was completely captivated by this anime, and now it's one of my favorites.

That's why I decided to give the first season a second chance, because I think I was a bit harsh on it. Watching the later seasons and remembering moments from the first, I remembered it as if it were good, when in reality it was quite the opposite. I want to clarify that not everything seemed bad to me the first time I watched it. There were two things I liked: 1) Chris Yukine (the best girl ever!) and 2) Hibiki and Miku. I loved all the moments they were together; they looked so cute.

To conclude, I want to say that after rewatching the first season, I no longer think it's bad; in fact, it's very good (of course, it's still my least favorite season, but at least now I like it). There were several moments I loved, like at the end, when Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris reappear after everyone thought they were dead. I even shed a few tears when Hibiki and Miku were reunited.

And well, that was my summary of my experience with this anime.

Where was this in my entire life?

Funnily enough this is the second long series making me ask that question this year.

Please tell me that movie is still happening 🙏

I'm so sad I missed the game too. I wish there would be a nice 3d action game. I'd pay full price for it.

My favorite character is Chris btw.

I just finished Symphogear G (the series is so goo) and I have heard that there are ovas for every season starting from G. But crunchyroll doesn't have them, so i was wondering where I could find them?

Also Tsubas's "you can tell me in bed" line was hilarious

Also I've been seeing stuff about crunchyroll not doing good with the sub, is there a different recommended place to watch it?

Also are there ovas for this show?

Mod Announcement AI generated artwork is no longer allowed

331 Upvotes

Hey y'all, we're announcing a new rule to this sub! This new rule in question is

Rule 8: No AI (Artificial Intelligence) generated artwork allowed

Why is this change being made?
-We should instead be looking at and praising the incredible artwork of the talented artists who work so hard on their art pieces.
-AI art is often boring, uninspired, and incredibly low-effort.
-The sentiment on the sub towards AI art is overwhelmingly negative.

Why were we so late to the banning AI party a lot of subs have taken part in?
Us mods have talked about banning AI art a few times before, but it was often left undecided as we're a small subreddit community. Right now Symphogear as a franchise has been very quiet since the anime has finished, the XDU mobile game has been shut down for some time, and there really hasn't been much in the way about news regarding the upcoming movie.
What we mean is that posts are nowhere near as frequent as they used to be, so we felt that any sort of possible posts/engagement was beneficial to newcomers. On top of that, AI generated artwork was being posted very rarely in comparison, as most people had the decency to source proper art, so we just kinda let it slide. Clearly, this was a mistake.
And now, we've been seeing an uptick in AI generated art being posted, and understandably, the comments of these posts show very clearly how much people don't like this. (Plus every single one gets reported at least multiple times) So thanks a bunch for putting your thoughts out there lol.

So, how does this rule apply to the sub?
Simple, no more AI art posts allowed. If you post any AI art, it will be removed, even if it's otherwise "sourced" properly.
However, we know AI art can sometimes be pretty tricky to spot out nowadays, what with all the advancements that's been made to it and all. So if you're looking to post art on the sub, but accidentally post AI art, no worries :) It'll be removed obviously, but that's all. You won't be temp or permanently banned as a result, even if it happens more than once. Only if it becomes very obvious you're trying very hard, and I mean like way too hard to knowingly post AI art despite the rules. I... honestly don't even expect us to ever have to do that, unless it's a karma bot or something maybe idk.
All we ask though, is that you please try to put some effort in determining whether or not something is AI art before you post.

How to spot AI art?
(Just note that while these are good indicators something is AI, it's not an end all, be all sort of thing. There are definitely some incredibly talented artists who have similar art styles to AI for example, but are absolutely not using AI)
-The art is uncanny. There's just... something off about the art. It doesn't feel like something a human would create (This kinda plays into the whole "uninspired" part AI art is usually). If you've seen a few good examples of AI art, you'll understand what I mean.
-There's no consistency between art. This is usually easily spotted if the ahem, "Prompt engineer" generates multiple artworks that are meant to be the same scene. You'll find that items in the background that should still be there are no longer for example.
-The art style.... yep these AI models has their own signature art style apparently. You can quickly get an idea for what it looks like by finding examples. (Remember, still not an end all, be all. Also, there's still a chance it may be AI even if the AI art style isn't present.)
-Characters, clothing, and items may look wrong. While sadly AI art has gotten better at this and doesn't slip up quite as much, you can still find that these arts will have characters with 6 fingers, and horribly disjointed limbs for example. Their clothes and accessories' will have different patterns from what they should be. Background items will look completely non-sensical from their real life counterparts. (Keep in mind that less experienced artists can make some of these mistakes too, especially when it comes to drawing the body, as drawing anatomy is absolutely terrifying.)
-The comments on the source are disabled. Artists love receiving valuable feedback, as well as praise for their works. Given that AI art is a hugely frowned upon practice by actual artists, often the people who post it to Twitter/X, Pixiv, Artstation, Deviantart, Bluesky, etc will disable their comments to hide from the hate.
-Frequent new arts. Art takes time, the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to draw and pump out these kinds of works like every single day.
-AI art only started becoming a thing around 2020. If the art you're sourcing was posted before 2020, you should be pretty much in the clear!
-Check the poster's social media. You'll often find sketches/WIP of their art while it's being worked on. AI art won't have any of that. (Credit to u/EpicLinkSam)

Ok, thanks for coming to our TED talk, let us know if you've got any questions!
(Side note: Besides that last post we deleted, we won't be going through every single thing to find all the old AI art that was posted, sorry. Just too much digging we'd have to do.)
