Spoiler: click to toggle On the one hand, I kinda want to see the follow up to this before I make a judgement on it. On the other, Hibiki...  EDIT: Actually going off Boyd's post given that Maria snapped at Hibiki shortly beforehand about her power I wonder if this is leading up to her taking Gungnir back? |

I doubt it, Hoofs
GX ep 3 Maria has Serena's gear in the OP, so I gather they're going to figure out a way to repair the damaged gears.
Hibiki is being pretty frustrating, though. I really appreciate some of the development the others are getting, though.
It's like they finally remembered to characterize the FiS gears >_>
Also, we just need Fine in here to save everyone
and that beef stroganoff scene was unreal and kind of amazing

Guess what I had for lunch today?
beef stroganoff
GX ep 3
I hope Kirika and Shirabe get their drugs so they can be the ones fighting, it will be sweet if they get a heavier role in the show instead of the "lol yuri-bait friends" they were in episodes 1 and 2.

Spoiler: click to toggle Because Maria's realized what her role is, knows that she's an inferior user, and also that after what she did for FIS she really doesn't have a place to be demanding anything. She's graduated from womanchild to adult.
Besides, she gave it to Hibiki anyway, but Hibiki's acting like it was always hers and that it's hers by right. It's not the same thing.
Also yo I can't be the only one that thinks it's suspicious that Carol hasn't lifted a finger to try and get Elfnein back right? Especially with the "Project Ignite" gears being all edgy and spiky.

Spoiler: click to toggle Well, yeah. Even though Maria gave Gungnir to Hibiki, her having it is basically tied into her existence and any sense of self-worth at this point. She's nothing without Gungnir, so of course she's going to be irrational about Gungnir being "hers".
also yeah basically everybody thinks that the Dainsleif thing is some kind of elaborate trap taking a lot of weird things into consideration

Spoiler: click to toggle >Elfnein is a trap that's a trap
Trapception
Anyways Hibiki is an ungrateful little bitch
Also seriously considering her "revelation" is something that there's no logical reason she shouldn't have already known I don't see how this episode isn't pointless. Nothing about it convinced me that she learned anything she shouldn't have already known from the previous two seasons. At least it was only one episode instead of an entire arc like Maria in G I guess.
Then again it's possible it's simply padding so that Gungnir is destroyed/Hibiki put out of commission too late to be [radio edit]ed up by Dainsleif so we can have Hibikigear GX
I'm so excited

GX ep 4 I'm really impressed with Maria especially, but also the other FiS gears this season. Hibiki's been just pls on top of pls, and it's cheez and feels like forced development as [radio edit], but Maria's really been excellent this season. I feel like she's really developing as a main character with a lead-in of psychological things and so on, whereas Hibiki is kind of just shallowy re-treading old territory.
It's still hilarious writing, the whole Hibiki bridalcatching Miku with an epic waterfall behind her, doing badass fighting and then getting gimped by an illusion. and DUN DUN DUUUN, she must be dead!!11shift
I agree with Boyd though, this episode was kind of so-so, Maria was definitely the highlight

GX 4 I agree that this episode was only so-so, and that Maria was easily the highlight, but I think it's about time they do something interesting with Hibiki's development as a character.
My only complaint is that this, or a similar arc should have happened last season it's sort of confusing why she'd have this existential crisis -now- after all this time.

GX4 Yeah, I agree. This feels like it should've been an earlier development with Hibiki, or at least something foreshadowed more. She's always been reluctant to fight, but not to this extreme.
And the whole Gear-destroying thing is so pls and so obviously going to be shortly resolved. >.> The OP kind of spoils that every episode.
The dolls are actionwise pretty cool and have some neat abilities, but their personalities/plot components are bleh
But I guess Symphogear is basically just an action show anyway, so I should remember to keep that in mind

Spoiler: click to toggle Gear destroying pretty obviously only exists so that when Airgetlam is repaired it won't look like such an asspull if they also have to fix the others.
And whatever possible plot stuff that could go down due to Dainsleif.

Spoiler: click to toggle If you ignore that Miku is literally the only person she "fought" during the entirety of G, sure.
And it'll be shortly "resolved" but I think it's pretty obvious that it's not going to be as straightforward as them being magically fixed.
Garie is amazing.

GX4 Echoing the Maria praise; she's leaps and bounds beyond her Season 2 self. I especially like how, when Hibiki took her Gear back and snapped at her, Maria encouraged her instead of shouting at her like I thought was going to happen. And I've never minded Hibiki being hesitant and/or reluctant to fight people because it was always carefully balanced, but it feels like they threw that out of the window here. Like solbowz said, it should have happened early or been foreshadowed more. If she had reacted like this to Miku near the end of Season 2, I could see that making far more sense IMO.
Also I like the Autoscorers being paired off against certain Gear members and their tarot design inspiration/different dance styles in combat is fantastic. I just wish their personalities/plot components were more endearing. Some might dislike Ver's insane logic, but it was motivation I could get behind, even if this season's antagonists are just dolls.
EDIT: ofc Carol IS the main antagonist so she's the primary one to watch anyway
