No, it gets worse. And even worse in S2. And even worse in S3. Which is precisely why you must finish it and then rewatch all of it. It's okay, it took me like three tries to actually get through season 1, but once I did make it through, I just got it. You will too.

This. You need to acquire a special kind of shit taste to enjoy it but when you get there, oh boy is it fun.

This. It just keeps getting worse as it goes on

It's my guilty pleasure anime, and I can't wait for season 4. Chris is my waifu

>>156568591
No it only gets worse which is why it became one of the most beloved new anime franchises of the decade and is getting a season 4 and 5

So basically I need to turn my brain off to enjoy this. Will do that for the rest of it then.

Posts like this remind me of all the many coming of age anime where a child thinks he needs to enjoy black coffee in order to be an adult, then eventually realizes being able to like whatever he likes without being a pretentious faggot is what truly makes him an adult

It's overrated "so bad it's good" anime. The don't even fight that much and most of the screen time is spent on some shitty drama.

>Chris is my waifu
Top-tier taste.

>>156569243
That's the spirit. You're going to destroy your anime taste and watching this will tame you in order to watch even more stupid stuff. I guarantee it.

/a/, you can be honest with yourself and admit that you genuinely enjoy this cheesy, B movie-esque action show.

There is no need to remind us every ten seconds about you just watch this show ironically and how so above it you are.
Nobody is gonna judge you. You are anonymous. Your highschool bullies aren't here
This is not a 3x3 thread in which you have to prove how "patrician" your tastes are to some anonymous mouth-breathers nobody gives a shit about.

That B movie label doesn't even fit Symphogear 100%. It's a show with plenty of strong points despite it's ocasional writing fumbles.

You people make these threads insufferable to look at.
Be a bit more honest with yourselves or go suck dick ironically somewhere else.

>>156568961
>It's my guilty pleasure anime
I will never understand this. You either like something or don't.

>>156568591
If you didn't watched it with /a/ then it's mediocre at best.

But ganbare! is you want to keep up for the upcoming season

What's not to understand? I can see its faults, but I still love it. Just like I love Twintails and Samurai Flamenco

>>156570991

I'm waiting.

Season 1 unironically has one of the best climaxes in the entire medium. The character progression throughout the show up to that point wrapping up in a very unique way is the cherry on top.

Both Aoi and Sawashiro are so great in that scene.

>>156571328
Strong points of the show:
Chris tsundere moments
Chris transformations
Chris battle scenes
Dr. Ver.

>S1, at first i kinda linked it, then half way into it they started shitty on their own rules, and at the end everything was so bad shit insane i didn't know what to think.

>S2 continued getting worse and worse, but then it hit me, i shouldn't think too hard about all this stuff and just enjoy the hype and crazy fights.

>S3 I buy pic related and drink with other lovely anons each week when it airs, and i can truly say it was some of the best times I've had on /a/.

>>156568591
Season 1 is a bit of a tough bite to chew on but it gets progressively better (mainly because of Chris). Season 2 is amazing.

Tsubasa gets much better. Hibiki gets slightly better, then even worse.

>>156571094
It means that they like it, but are too insecure in their opinions to say so. It's true that you can like something while realizing that it's not actually of high quality, but most people using the term "guilty pleasure" are just afraid people will make fun of their taste if they don't qualify all of their statements to align with popular opinion.

>>156568591
G > Original Recipe >>> GX

>>156572063
Everything on S1 makes sense setting-wise. Read the keywords. There is all sort of foreshadowing you can catch up on a rewatch.

>>156573254
Tsubasa is the only reason I watch this shit show.

I don't know why but I hated first season but when second aired I loved it (as a whole).

>>156574311
Symphogear had a very weak first half, Fine was a meh villain, and the characters spent way too much time feeling sorry for themselves until the end (and GX went back to that pattern, which I hated).

>>156573514
Correct.

>>156571328
>The main theme of S1 is communication
>Where talking fails to reach someone, music picks up the slack
>The main girls' fighting styles are reflective of how they all communicate
>The final battle literally takes place at the Tower of Babel
Yeah it's filled with plot conveniences, and each season focuses more on having hype moments rather than a cohesive story, but it still has moments where it shines.

I watched all of it and it was pretty mediocre all the way through. S3 had me slightly hyped in the beginning with Carol and the dolls and I thought, "holy shit it's finally going to become decent" and then it didn't and they squandered away all the potential as usual.

>>156578066
It's really amazing how it manages to get worse with every season. I don't even know why I watched it all.

>>156573514
I think GX should be divided between before and after ep 6
