New XDU Event, get to grinding.

>OL Hibiki
not something you see too often
>>2383538
It's even the same design from the XD comic made for Miku's birthday.
>>2383527
I can't be the only one, but I have to wonder what kind of job Hibiki has here. As I can't really imagine Hibiki doing anything but working for SONG until they let her retire.
>>2383668
She probably being a OL in non geah AU because it's a Maison ikkoku's parody.
>>2383523
But their daughter has pink hair
Finally started watching this season. Tsubasa x Maria continued going full steam huh.
>>2383707
Funny thing is Signum is what you'll get if Maria and Tsubasa had a child together
>>2383715
Yes. But I think Light kinda looks like their yuri kid too.
>>2383687
I'm doubtful that Hibiki could make it as an OL, even without her SONG responsibilities dragging her academics down. Nor do I think that she'd actually want to be one.
>>2383724

>Siscon
Sounds about right.
Just a FYI, both Testament and Tsubasa's latest songs are out.
I'm in a nice mood that I will spoonfeed /u/:
https://nyaa.si/view/939873 - Testament
https://nyaa.si/view/939874 - Character song vol 3
>>2383940
Hopefully they actually use testament this time and don't pull a GX.
So what happened to the last thread?

No fight, there is enough Tsubasa for all
>>2385478
What does it say?
>>2385479
Eating ice cream with Tsubasa! Then Tsubasa/Maria/TsubaMari/Symphogear tags.
>tagging your pairing name on a photo you upload
Maria is a dork.

"I ate cotton candy ice cream with Tsubasa!" #TsubaMari #cottoncandyicecream #KazanariTsubasa #MariaCadenzavnaEve
>>2385472
Don't forget Kanade. Tsubasa is a busty chick magnet
>>2385580
Bitches love the sword.
Tsubasa/Kanade is especially strong after the Zwei Wing event in XDU.
http://www.symphogear-axz.com/special/sp07_relay01.php
HibiMiku official canon interview.
>>2385683
This is an abuse to Miku.
I'd always prefer Tsubasa with Kanade.
HibiMiku is gayer than NanoFate.
Why is this allowed?
>>2385704
Miku has been a very trusting wife. She loves her Biki even when she keeps flirting with Chris
>>2385726
I wouldn't call it flirting. Hibiki's just really touchy with Chris.
>The Root of Symphogear is "Love"
>interview basically saying Miku and Hibiki are the gay
>LiNKER secret is "ai desu yo"
>DMJii in general
>Maria and "Naze soko de ai"
What could they be hinting at?
>>2385740
I don't know if its just touchy-feely, she seems to find some way to make Chris do what she wants.
>>2385744
The world is full of love.
The interview is also labeled 01 so they'll probably be doing more cast interviews for the site.
>>2385755
Fine hanging around naked in her HQ was hot.
>>2385679
I will never understand people who denied their relationship.
>>2385749
Hibiki and Chris do look cute together. I think Chris really appreciates how much Hibiki cares for her.
>>2385716
HibiMiku hasn't adopted a daughter in the series.
So they don't outgay NanoFate just yet.
>>2385866
Yeah that's where the tiebreaker comes in. Both couples sleep together, are extremely close, have fought each other, and consists of one of the wives being a housewife while the other wife is away. The only way Hibimiku can ensure victory is if thet kiss.
>>2385889
YunaTogo is also pretty up there in being a super gay yuri couple. What I think tips the scale more in their favor is the fact that Tougou being gay for Yuna is canon and not just subtext. Has it ever been confirmed by the studio that Miku is gay for Hibiki?
>>2385893
By the studio, no.
Miku's Symphogear activation song and Iguchi saying that she plays Miku as being in love with Hibiki, yes.
>>2385893
The closest is Agematsu calling Miku Hibiki's wife, plus that radio corner description.
>>2385898
I hate when studios do the whole read in between the lines thing. They shove in your face how gay the characters are yet refuse to confirm it and think that just making it obvious is enough to let people know they are together. Why don't they get we want confirmation. I'll still hold out hope that that mindset will change one day. I mean Shinozaki-san ended with Shinozaki and Kaede kissing and people all gave up hope for that ship.
>>2385679
According to Iguchi, Miku will have a little long monologue about what she thinks of Hibiki in later episode.
>>2385935
So basically just Miku talking about how gay she is and how much she wants to fuck Hibiki.
>>2385935
I wish she'd just get to actually DO something.
>>2385796
Jealous people that their favorite couples and favorite Animes are not as relevant as they wanted
>>2385926
You can also see the other sideI did not watch Yuri on Ice during the broadcast, I watched it later
To see them without any preconceptions, I realized that I had basically the same level (even less) of Subtext of other Animes that I had seen, but did not have the same recognition
The only (real) differential is that everything was declared as official and that those were his intentions, I honestly do not feel completely convinced, although I also consider that fandom is quite hypocrite
I do not want to start any conflict, but this case still seems annoying
>>2385967
The same season FliFla's director said without any doubt that he was making a yuri anime. While YoI director's actually said he was making fanservice to fujoshis.
But somehow YoI is true gay representation, while FliFla is bait fanservice.
I don't care about studio confirmation because people are stupid and will only see what they want, anyway.
>>2385926
I never understood this mindset, is it really that important to feel pandered? A studio or author confirming a ship adds nothing of value to the discussion. it does not affect the story, characters or the fandom's interpretation of those in any meaningful way. It is not like all previous symphogear season would be any better or worse if the studio suddenly decided to comfirm hibimiku now, nor all the hibimiku doujins and fanart would stop existing if Hibiki suddenly got a boyfriend in axz.
The only thing this confirmations are good for is starting shitstorms and trolling butthurt waifufags.
>>2385978
>butthurt waifufags.
This is why the studios never confirm yuri stuff. Which is a fucking ridiculous reason, I guess most of us are just tired of people being cowardly
>>2385978
It absolutely does affect the story, because the story is more than just a sequence of colors and sounds stored in a file on your computer. It says "yes, there is meaning and intent in their interactions, and it does reflect on the two of them and their relationship". Claiming it doesn't is reductivist to the point of nigh-absurdity.
>>2385984
It is not a yuri problem, it is a shipping problem. Every time a couple is confirmed everybody loses their mind, it doesn't matter if it is gay or het.
>>2385988
>"yes, there is meaning and intent in their interactions, and it does reflect on the two of them and their relationship"
Thats exactly my point. That meaning and intent is always present, a japanese dude tweeting something or 5 seconds of two characters holding hands should not negate all of that. It is dumb to have a confirmation ruin or improve your opinion on a series.
>>2385978
This is some serious sour grapes shit right here.
I'm not saying that us getting mad over it will ever change anything, but acting like it's all well and good is stupid too.
>>2385971
Well, then it's not a bit Hypocrites, they're completely hypocrites
The propaganda can make it really dangerous, especially from a fandom full of people without their own criteria
In if you do not need a confirmation to understand that two characters are a couple, The real problem is all those idiots who even seeing all that on the screen will deny it in the most stupid way possible, remember Korra?
>>2385984
That reminds me of a certain game franchise that was made to specifically appeal to the Waifufags and was a complete failure
>>2385679
Their VAs are referring to each other's characters as husband and wife, and married all the way through the interview. How nice.
>>2386041
>remember Korra?
I'm not into Korra, but I remember TLOU. Somehow a girl kisses other in the lips and the fans reaction is: "I don't think she's gay. It's just a friendly kiss."
As I said, people are stupid. I don't really mind, because if I see those girls as a couple, what a bunch of random people says won't change it. It would change only if the actual creator denies it.
And subtext usually gives us more yuri that wouldn't exist otherwise because, even if creators seems to love making gay girls, most fans don't really want it. I feel like subtext is a way for the creators put yuri as they like, but still managing to make a successful title.
>>2386080
>It's just a friendly kiss.
Where the fuck do these people live, in which girls kiss each other in the lips all the time and it's just a friendship thing? How come my friends never kissed me?
>>2386091
The problem is that normalfags think that way
You have 2 characters that act very close, there is a declaration of protection, emotional dependence etc, we have this reaction of the people:
2 men = gay or bromance (it depends on the hypocrite of the people)
1 man and a woman = official couple (even when nothing was ever declared)
2 girls = just friends
So the things work for people, there are Animes of only girls, without any kind of subtext and practically nobody pay attention, so the subtext is not people being "imaginative"
I don't want to see a kiss because I think their relationship needs to "confirmed" onscreen or anything.
I just think it'd be nice to see, and it's a shame we've not got to the point where it'd be a natural outcome of an anime pairing like HibiMiku.
>>2386091
Depends on locality, in many places lip kisses are just friendly things.
If I saw 2 girls kiss each other on the lips I'd think they're close friends unless they were also giving off relationship vibes.
but there's also a difference between a peck and full on face eating.
>>2386091
I sometimes wonder if we aren't all like those MCs we complain about in manga that are too dense to notice the feelings of those around us.
>>2386125
What is the magical gaijin country where people kiss in the lips as greeting, that all anime talk about? Cause here people greet by kissing in the cheek only
>>2386164
according to magical wikipedia, south africa and australia. I seem to recall some spanish/language near spanish that did it as well but don't remember which country it was.
>>2386080
So you're saying as long as you know their gay who cares what others see. I firmly disagree with this logic. Sometimes acknowledging these characters are actually gay separates yuri from yuri pandering/fanservice. Not caring about confirming two girls have at least some romantic attraction for each other allows het series to use the same yuri pandering methods in their series. Without acknowledging that their intentions are different they get lumped into the same pile as series that see yuri as a means to turn people on and all the girls are straight.
Honestly I don't care about confirmation or whatever but I will say it does add another layer to the story. An example is Tougou from Yuki Yunna. It'd be weird to see someone willing to destroy the world for their best friend but knowing she loves Yunna adds a new narrative of a woman trying to destroy the world for the woman is loves. While her goal was still messed up I can understand it more if she did it because of the latter.
>>2385978
Implying Hibiki would get a boyfriend and leave Miku. Miku says go to hell bastard
>>2386111
Why do you folks even care about what normalfags think?
>>2386262
because normalfags influence shit.
>>2386263
They are not normalfags then.

>Question: Could you summarize the whole of their relationship from the first three seasons?
>Answer: The feelings between them are the same as a married couple. In the first season it's like they were dating, then had a fight during G and then made up, which lead to them getting married in GX. Now AXZ is 1 year into their married life.

I wonder what pairing will they introduce next week.
>>2386543
wedding when?
>>2386612
and?
>>2386631
as long as they draw cute yuri who cares?
>>2386631
okay, so the artist draws something that is not /u/ for a /u/ based series.
that's like shitting on the VAs in this game because they voiced someone in a hentai or a harem. It's stupid and makes no sense
>>2386633
>as long as they draw cute yuri who cares?
exactly
>>2386636
Not the artist fault for you always thinking about faceless men.
>>2386636
sex sells.
here's a hint, almost every single yuri artist has drawn het porn in the past. this doesn't mean they think yuri isn't real and het is the only way of life, it just means het porn sells.
>>2386645
>I'm thinking about what the artist is.
a guy who draws art
>>2386649
no, it really doesn't.
a drawing is a drawing, it has no reflection on the artist's mind
>>2386653
Anon, I can draw you literally anything you ask for right now. It doesn't mean I agree with you or what you want. It just means I drew it because I have the technical ability and you don't.
If people like het porn and I want to get a larger market or get paid, I'm going to draw het porn. It doesn't mean I don't prefer yuri, it just means I want the benefits drawing het porn gives me.
>>2386636
Unless it's part of a connected set of images or a comic, then what an artist draws in one picture is irrelevant in regard to any other picture.
>>2386645
No you obviously think about faceless men and can not enjoy yuri manga.
>>2386660
No, it's like saying one book written by an author isn't connected to another book written by the same author. If it's not part of the same series, then it's a separate thing.
>>2386670
except they are not of the same image set meaning they are not related
>>2386659
And why should any of us give a shit?
I care in no way if the artist "has integrity" and only draws certain girls with certain girls. As long as they periodically give us cute yuri drawings idgaf.
Fuck off, ACK.
>>2386594
Hibiki doesn't know what marriage is, because she's dumb, DUMB!
>>2386680
If the artist drew futanari Hibiki and Miku, would that make it harder for you to enjoy their vanilla yuri?
Episode 4 aired.
Not much in terms of /u/ content but it hasAdam stripping naked and nuking everything
>>2386703
Maria saved Tsubasa and carried her on her back
>>2386705
Stop projecting
>>2386707
And she started doing her blue glowing from episode 2.
>>2386703
I truly enjoy this season.
Your bets on who is dead?
>>2386726
Tomato granny and some other random civiliansGenjuro
>>2386728
>spoiler
Not yet, but it will happen
>>2386703
I suppsoe /a/ has it field day with this.I really hope it will be Hibiki who will punch him and destroy him in fist fight than Genjuro.
If one of geahs got killed by him I think she will be revived somehow, but then I thought they would do the same with Kanade and she stayed dead.
>>2386761
Obviously nobody is going to die. We have a fifth Season and not all Gears had their CDs released yet.
>>2386761
I hope it'sHibiki so Miku has to reveal her Custodian powers to bring her back
I'm crossing my fingers that mikugear will comeback either this or next season
>>2386796
it might be this season.
My only speculation is that the opening countdown starts at 7 but there are 6 active Gear users
>>2386800
That makes a bit of sense.
I think this is one of her lines in XDU when a battle starts
>>2386828
The power of Maria's AI will surely save them

Amazing.
>>2386741
>wanting Genjuro dead
monster
>>2387117
Nobody actually wants the best father figure dead. However, if anyone major character does die, it's gonna be him.
Also random thought, but is anyone else curious if Genjuro is licensed to officiate weddings?
>>2387128
>is anyone else curious if Genjuro is licensed to officiate weddings?
I've given this some thought. In most navies, military and civilian, captains of ships indeed have the power to officiate weddings. I'm pretty sure Genjuro and the rest of SONG are in a ship (a submarine?) and since he calls the shots and tells the ship where to go he's the captain.
>>2387128
It's pretty easy to become an ordained minister.
Episode 4 is the best episode so far. Whew.
I thought I was gonna hate Adam but damn, for a short screen time, he was ridiculous. I love it!
Also, that theory of some /a/non that Maria Cadenzavna EVE is Eve. I want it to be real. It might make Tsubasa jealous and help their relationship improve if there is a third party who wants to wants to stick their dick in her lol.
>>2386761
Nah, I hope not. Hibiki has been really boring since GX.
>>2387242
Would be weird for Maria to be suddenly special just because of the name. She has no connection to Adam.
>>2387269
>She has no connection to Adam.
We actually don't know that. She knew him by name as far back as G, and he was controlling FIS.
>>2387245
Screw you Biki is awesome
>>2387277
>She knew him by name as far back as G
He is the leader, duh. It's easier to remember the name of important people rather than names of useless small fry.
>>2387140
>In most navies, military and civilian, captains of ships indeed have the power to officiate weddings
That's just a widespread myth, in the overwhelming majority of jurisdictions ship captains don't have that power.
Strangely enough all the (unsourced) information on marriage at sea I've been able to find online says that Japanese captains are an exception and do have the power to "perform a marriage ceremony" at sea between two Japanese citizens, which seems fine except that under Japanese law marriage ceremonies have absolutely no legal weight and are not recognised as legal marriages. There's clearly something missing or just plain wrong here but I expect we'll need an anon who can read moon to get a definite answer.
>>2387128
I hope he doesn't die. He's been like a father to the girls
>Maria being Adam's Eve
Why would you want that? That would be weird and terrible. Keep the man away from the girls.
>>2387314
Probably some old law that never got off the books while marriage laws changed.
>>2387345
It's probably a troll
>>2387357
I think it's just a theory because of the naming convention
>>2387361
There aren't any theories about the "Maria" part of her name though, why are people ignoring it?
Maria = Virgin Mary, but I don't think Maria has any parallels with her.
>>2387365
Not since she met Tsubasa, anyway.
I ship Fine x St Germain
>>2387412
Isn't Saint Germain a tranny
>>2387468
No, just a cross-dresser.
>>2387468
No, she just likes wearing suits sometimes, but she wore a dress when Fine destroyed her ship
>>2387522
Was destroying that ship part of her plan?
>>2387575
I don't think so. But it seems the illuminati wants to destroy God, so Fine didn't like them
Uh oh

>>2388042
Is Maria contractually obligated to never do something original or something?
>>2388042
It's nice to see Maria caring for her.
After listening to XDU's opening, I now wish AxZ had that one instead. It feels more akin to the first season's OP while this season's OP felt lacking in comparison.
Though if they do pull the Miku is the 7th gear to go with the "7 Countdown" thing then maybe I can give it a pass.
Regarding the episode itself, I still hate that "two fights an episode" rule that apparently is a real thing for this series.
I mean, even pure mecha shows have breather episodes for character interaction and progression.
But since they can never progress the relationships, the writers always rely on pre-establish "pairs" like DMJii only ever hangs out with Maria, and only Maria gets to save Tsubasa and stuff like that.
>>2388046
Aptly worded. Couldn't have said it better myself.
>>2388046
>Maria pays Tsubasa back for all the times she's saved her
>why can't Maria do anything original?!
>>2388051
>"two fights an episode" rule
Was this even present in S1?
I really wish they had that S1 mentality back.
I missed scenes like Miku tending to a wounded Chris, or Tsubasa singing enka just because. Or that scene where Miku thought Hibiki was cheating on her with Tsubasa.
Ah, good times.
>people thinking mikugear is a good idea
>>2388052
Anon was referring to this.

The line is different, this is just a case of Commie being Commie.
>all this guard duty, nearly getting nuked, and getting the shit beat out of her

At this point S1 it's obvious that will forever be the outlier, and the G model is how every season will be.

Listen, I hate memesubs like everyone else, but the fact is we're stuck with them given they're the only ones subbing AXZ since HxD aren't doing it and the guy who did episode 1 said he'd drop it if a regular group picked it up.
>>2388226
Hibiki has been making some gains.The muscley she gets, the harder she punches and the more often she gets laid.
>>2388379

>>2388490
Reading the morning paper at breakfast is typical husband behavior.
>>2388211
>the G model
Except G was actually kinda good. The girls were still characters that had relationships with each other instead of being "Mechs with boobs" like they are now.
>>2388556
I have a feeling that they want to push Hibiki x Shirabe, Kirika x Chris, Maria x Tusbasa in this season.
>>2388597
It's not that new. It was also the setup for the FIS confessionals during the Chateau fight.They aren't going to cause any major pairing shake-ups like that. OP fights also have them paired off differently so they'll probably just get more developement time with people outside of the defined pairs. Hibiki and Kirika would probably be a lot of fun together but we never get to see them alone.
>>2388599
Which is one of the things a lot of us have been wanting; More interactions outside of the established pairings.
I think XDU already provided a lot of different pairings?
>>2388639
These memoria cards of Tsubasa being a caring dad for Shirabe and Kirika warmed my heart.
>>2388639
No cushioning.
>S1 had Finè naked

How did it turn out like this?

Yes. Quite.

Tsubasa is 19, and Shirabe is 15.

Just watched ep4 of AXZ.Hope nothing bad happened to team Good at the end, but considering the "life" balls he was holding in the end I'm expecting a bad outcome.
>>2389988
All threat is gone because they still have to shill 2 more character CDs, and have 1.75 seasons left. The "something bad might have happened to the characters" cliffhanger is neutered.

Tsubasa: What’s the problem?
Maria: Nothing. I was following a potential target.
Tsubasa: Target? What are you talking about? Did you think we’re hunting for our dinner tonight?
Tsubasa is a cute dummy.

>Did you think we’re hunting for our dinner tonight?
Of course! Mama cat is used to it
It's Kanade's birthday
>>2390015
>He made gold, no soul stuff thingy.
He made a comment about transmuting life into gold, so his gold things were created by taking life.
>>2390134
Translation from /a/
>HibiMiku: Happy birthday, Kanade-san!
>K: Ohh! Thanks, girls!
>H: To think I would be able to celebrate Kanade-san's birthday like this... I'm so happy!
>K: You're exaggerating
>M: Geez, Hibiki. You cries too much
>ma: Ara, what's wrong Tsubasa?
>ma: Won't you give her your present?
>T: It's just... it's been a while since I got to celebrate with her like this
>T: S-so
>T: I'm nervous
>ma: You...
>ma: when it comes to Kanade you acts like a girl
>>2390344
>Ka-Kanade! Happy... birthday
>Thanks, Tsubasa. Seriously, you sure have grown up while I wasn't looking
>Is that so...?
>Yeah. You're so big now... both vertically and horizontally
>Wha..!
>That's a joke, a jooke. Fufufu
>Geez... You're so mean, Kanade...
>>2390344
>>2390345
>we will never see the cool tsurugi-senpai go full dere
>>2390346
>Man, the Tsuba/Mari is so strong in 3.5. I pretty much had to TL all the dialog in ep 5 because it's just so flirty.
>Pretty telling that in 3.5 Tsubasa reveals she memorized Maria's birthday and yet in AXZ she had to learn Hibiki's from Miku.
Chances we'll see more of Tsubasa breaking with Maria being in the hospital and out of commission from saving her life?
>>2390534
That'll depend on how she's doing herself. Preview only has Kirika active; and it could make sense since it's her CD shilling episode.
>>2390534
Pretty high, assuming that she managed to protect Tsubasa.
>>2390452
Tsubasa is a dutiful Sentinel to her Cat Princess.
>>2390534
The real question is, how messy will Maria's hospital room be when she wakes up?
>>2390769
Maria will go back to coma when she sees it
>>2390892
She is dead.
>>2390892
I think that's the point. Everyone since, be it Chris or Maria, is just an attempt to replace Kanade.
>>2390922
Tsubasa isn't THAT emotionally stunted. Well, since S1, at least.
>>2390927
Sora e...
>>2390928
Sora e ends with Tsubasa saying that Kanade will always be with her and looking towards the future, at least as I understand it.
>>2390916
Even in death love still remains.

So, will Tsubasa be relevant?
VER IS BACK
>>2391366
Generic crazy dude is back. Yawn.
>>2391376
He's the only person so far who has actively worked to give Miku more screentime. Cut him some slack.
No one is going to talk about Hibiki and Miku's conversation at the end and how Miku made Hibiki blush this time around?
>>2391382
Mikugear was a mistake.
>>2391384
>talking about death flags
>>2391384
We're kinda cut off at the knees in discussing this until we get subs. She could've said anything from "Good luck" to "I want to have your babies"
>>2391389
>Anyone dying in Symphogear
>Ever
>>2391394
Kanade, Serena and Mom would like to have a word with you, but they can't because they are dead.
>>2391390
It's basically
>"I have to win or else I will get btfo."
>"You don't need to win but don't lose."
>>2391398
>You don't need to win but don't lose
Too deep for me
>>2391396
>Kanada
1 episode character
>Serena
Died offscreen before the events of the series
>Mom
Was a villain.
Who do they want to kill? Dead Gears do not sell CDs.
>>2391405
Mamu kinda got a redemption before she died.
Japan is so fast.
>>2391404
>>2391384
It was heartwarming as fuck.>tfw will never have loyal gf who will supports you and tell you that everything is daijoubu.
>>2391384
I wonder if we're finally, FINALLY, seeing Hibiki being aware of her own feelings.
>>2391398
>don't lose
>Hibiki's song is about love of her fist will never lose
>>2391424
I'll rather not have someone setting up death flags every time I go to work.Who am I kidding I'd do anything to have a Miku waiting back at home
>>2391441
>implying Miku wouldn't gut you for not being hibiki
>>2391458
She is fine with turning the lights in Chris' apartment so she won't fell alone when she returns home, she could do the same for me.
Oh god hibiki is going to die.
>>2391527
There were no deathflags.
How long does it usually take for subs?
>>2391536
A few hours making the translation and a day or two adding memes and pretty letters.
>>2391536
Usually some time Monday I think.
>>2390452
Can you post your TL please?
>>2390397
Hibiki: Whew… I’m beat.
Miku: Good work, Hibiki. Here’s your towel. And yours too, Tsubasa-san.
Tsubasa: Ah, thank you. Tachibana, your movements today were pretty good.
Hibiki: Ehehe, I’m being praised.
Miku: Geez, you’re getting cocky too early…
Hibiki: Ah, oh no! I forgot something.
Tsubasa: Hm?
Miku: Um, Tsubasa-san. Next week is Kanade’s birthday, isn’t it?
Tsubasa: Eh! Ah… yeah. That’s right.
Hibiki: I knew it.
Miku: We’ve waited a long time, so do you want to throw her a party together?
Tsubasa: A-ah… that sounds fine.
Hibiki: Huh, Tsubasa-san… aren’t you excited?
Miku: Did already had something planned for just the two of you?
Tsubasa: N-no, that’s not it.
Tsubasa: There’s just a lot we have to plan for it, huh?
Hibiki: I see… well then, please just leave it to us!
Miku: Haha, we’ll prepare a wonderful party for her!
Tsubasa: Alright… thank you.
Tsubasa: (Certainly, I never thought another day would come that I could celebrate Kanade’s birthday…)
Tsubasa: (I want to give her a present, but… what should I get?)
Everyone: Happy birthday, Kanade!!
>>2391604
Kanade: Ah, what’s this, what’s this!? A surprise? Pretty clever of you all.
Chris: Hehe, it was a success, huh.
Miku: Here, this is from me and Hibiki.
Hibiki: Here you go!
Kanade: Oh, a Gungnir shaped cookie? Thanks!
Hibiki: Ehehe, Miku pretty much made it by herself.
Miku: Oh no, Hibiki worked really hard on it too.
Kanade: Right, right, you too are as close as always.
Chris: And, here’s my present.
Kanade: Oh, huh? It’s pretty heavy…
Kanade: This is… a power bracer?
Chris: Yeah, you seem like you’d things like this so…
Kanade: Is that the impression I give?
Hibiki: It looks just like a cute wristband. It definitely suits you.
Kanade: Oh, really? Well, thanks!
Tsubasa: Um… happy birthday, Kanade.
Kanade: Oooh, thank you. And?
Tsubasa: A-And?? That’s it.
Kanade: Hn~ Tsubasa? Don’t you have anything to give me?
Tsubasa: N-No I don’t…
Kanade: Heeeh, well, I’ve been catching a few glimpses of something that you’ve been holding behind you for a while now.
Tsubasa: G-Geez… you’re teasing me, Kanade.
Kanade: Come on, come on~ get over it and show me. I’m sure you’ve went through a lot to prepare it.
Tsubasa: Well… here…
Tsubasa: (I know, this is just Kanade being kind. If she hadn’t said that, I know I never would have brought myself to give it to her.)
Tsubasa: (While I know that… I’m always like this… being coddled by her good will.)
Kanade: Hm? Did you… wrap this yourself?
>>2391605
Tsubasa: Y-Yes, but… is something wrong?
Kanade: Well, it’s wrapped up pretty darn tight.
Tsubasa: I-I didn’t how to do well myself, but wanted to make sure it’s secure and tried out various ways, and it just got that big…
Kanade: I think you used a little too much packaging.
Tsubasa: I didn’t want it to be damaged… sorry…
Kanade: What are you saying, you were only thinking of me, weren’t you?
Kanade: Opening it alone is more than I deserve.
Kanade: Hmm? What’s this, what’s this?
Kanade: It’s… a pendant.
Tsubasa: Yes… I thought this would look good on you.
Kanade: Wow, I love it. Thanks, Tsubasa.
Tsubasa: It… it wasn’t that expensive, not enough to be so thankful for, so…
Kanade: Dummy, this isn’t about how cheap or expensive.
Kanade: I’ll treasure it. My whole life, I will.
Tsubasa: Mm… I’m glad.
Tsubasa: (In front of Kanade I get like a little kid)
Tsubasa: (I thought I had to grow up, but…)
Tsubasa: (I’d also like to stay just like this for a little while longer…)

Wasted potential. They were much better in the OVAs than the show.

Ver always managed to save the show from a snoozefest every time he returns.
>>2391678
Why do I have a feeling that they're setting up a Maria x Ver ending?
>>2391680
But there was never any hint of this, all 3 girls + mamu hated his guts.
>>2391680
Why do I have a feeling you're being paranoid simply because a guy is returning?
>>2391686
to be fair Ver did want to have kids with Maria to repopulate the world if their plan worked?
>>2391680
Ver is all about the power of love so I guess anything is possible.
>>2391688
Ver doesn't seem interested in sex. He seems more concerned about his crazy plans and Frontier and shit.
>>2391689
Why does Ver x Fine sound like a terrible and yet awesome idea?
>>2391693
Because you have shit taste. Fine x St Germain is the OTP

>>2391365
what's happening here?
>>2393151
Kanade's birthday. Maria got Kanade a book of Tsubasa pinups.
>>2393167
I want access to Maria's private collection of Tsubasa pinups
>>2393111
Shirabe tongues that Kiri-butt on a daily basis.

This artists drew some Tsubasa x Chris stuff in the past, but I think she doesn't anymore. Poor Chris
>>2393172
Even his chibi is squishy as fuck.
Chris calls others by their names fucking when?
>>2393399
Big version of the card.

It's not fair, why is Maria allowed to hold two guns?
>>2393272
>Picute
My typo, I meant picture
Other than tht, it looks Fine
>>2393416
With all the other dumb Japanese combinations I thought maybe it was supposed to be a combination of "picture" and "cute."
>>2393417
Yeah, sorry. Didn't feel right to translate "purikura" or "chu-puri" and I wasn't feeling like trying to find replacements
>>2393419
It's cute either way.
>>2393406
Because she has boobs.

Just how wild would it have gotten if it was Tsubasa there instead of Elf9?
Better yet, Elf9's reaction when they reach the part of Maria's mind where she thinks about Tsubasa.

In the cover of the album.

Would have been nice; but they were looking through Maria's time at FIS to see if she had glimpsed or heard anything useful to the creation of the LiNKER.

She'd drop her spaghetti faster than usual.

Maria knows she can't show that kind of stuff to Elf9.
>>2394263
it's probably hidden under a mass of spaghetti
Why is Tsubasa such a pervert in doujins?

Parody of some Japanese game show.
Anon from /a/ here. I am curious if /u/ has paired up any of the Alchemists yet. Is there a relationship diagram somewhere?
>>2395354
Alchemists are OT3 based on the Cag and Prelati's pledge to Germain.
>>2395354
St Germain and her harem.
>>2395354
>Anon from /a/ here. I am curious if /u/ has paired up any of the Alchemists yet. Is there a relationship diagram somewhere?
Two trans guys should be paired either with each other or with Genjuro and Ogawa, and female Germain should end with Chris.
Easy yuri solution.
>>2395475
>trans
Fuck off faggot, they're biologically women.
>inb4 le epic trap meme
>>2395573
Sorry anon you didn't read their character descrptions, they are guys who got their bodies changed to become women through alchemy, Germain was a female from start who just got immortality, so the two guys transitioned to become females, so using the trans world is accurate since they weren't born as females in the first place.
It's just genderbend yuri variety if you are into such fetish, I'm not, so that's why I prefer either for them to be togther or pair them up with guys than with Germain or Symphogears.
>>2395590
Trannies are mentally ill by definition and (often) mutilated. There is no evidence to support that these characters are trans. Genderbend, sure, but this has nothing to do with the mental illness of being a tranny.
>>2395590
Sounds like gender discrimination to me.
>>2395590
but Germain was the one who turned them into women in the first place
I knew the genderbent baddies would end this way.
Why can't people just take it at face value, it has nothing to do with transexuality and everything to do with japs wanting to see historical men as cute girls.
For all intents and purposes we can consider them female for /u/ since there's no bullshit going on about it and we consider other genderbends to be female if its down to the biological level.
>>2395636
>it has nothing to do with transexuality and everything to do with japs wanting to see historical men as cute girls.
Exactly. And more female characters = more fanservice. It is working, a bunch of losers are drooling over Cagliostro's boobs.
>>2395636
>japs wanting to see historical men as cute girls
I feel as if this makes them run into the problem of not being able to kill characters off. In G, they basically doubled the gear cast, and at the end of GX, the cute homunculus joined as well. People do not get invested as much into male antagonists (Ver is an exception here), so they can kill them off without alienating fans who would be invested in a cute little girl character.
>>2395645
They killed fine and carol.
sure carol sucked elf9's soul into her body. but for all intents and purposes "carol" died.
>>2395645
Why do we even need Elfnein? Isn't Shirabe good enough for the lolicon fans?
>>2395645
>People do not get invested as much into male antagonists (Ver is an exception here), so they can kill them off without alienating fans who would be invested in a cute little girl character.
He isn't. /a/ seems to love Adam as well.
Symphogear has made it a tradition to have very likeable villains, kill them off and then bring them back to be redeemed. Gender is not an issue here.
>>2395654
>/a/ seems to love Adam as well.
/a/ being obessed with dicks is nothing new
>>2395667
At least he isn't a problem for /u/s because he is a dollfag with a terabyte or two of Rozen Maiden porn.
>>2395678
and considering a certain someone who shares a VA with Adam, god knows what else
