while it definitely seemed kinda extreme I can only imagine they end up getting better afterward anyway. the season's narrative would just be bafflingly bizarre otherwise
I mean, I don't know about you, but getting DECAPITATED is usually a bad thing. People uh, tend to not survive that. They were on borrowed time anyways.

Aren't most full season anime aorund that 21-22 ep mark tho?

Yeah, most anime are usually 12-13 episodes or close to a multiple of those (24-26, 36-39, etc.) because Japan's TV stations want to stick close to the regular seasonal boundaries. Any that don't fit right into those boundaries have to show at least some of their episodes somewhere else. For example, Angels of Death aired last year and it was 16 episodes, so they aired the last 4 online. Beatless was 24 episodes, but due to production issues causing there to be so many recap episodes, the last 4 episodes were cut off the TV broadcast and were shown online.

lol all the hype you guys were saying about the latest symphogears brutalness made me do a quick scan of it to see for myself and I couldnt even find the moment at first. Finally got it after looking through the comments and it was a split second moment lol. I guess it must be really brutal for Symphogears standards?

Yes, EXTREMELY brutal by Symphogear's standards. There's been a decent amount of blood in the series, but before this, the only "gory" things shown in the series were *Symphogear G spoilers* Hibiki having her arm bitten off by the Nephilim (she then went berserk, destroyed the Nephilim, ripped its heart out, and then reattached her arm) and *Symphogear XV spoilers* Millaarc impaling a poor little girl through the chest. Nobody had just been flat-out chopped into pieces like what happened to Noble Red.

The first stab lingered on a bit but the slash was really fast, like only a few frames. I had to pause to see it and it looked really silly when paused. Also what episode was the impalement?

at least to me (and probably to a lot of others) it's not so much that it's super visual or gorey or anything because you're right, it isn't. It's more just that it was super abrupt and came completely out of nowhere

normally I'd agree with you completely except that
1) she's a robot and a somewhat common trait of robot characters in fiction is being able to be reassembled
2) the most common use of divinge power in the series so far as been regenerating from extreme amounts of damage and there's someone with that power right there

narratively it just seems so weird if none of the 3 of them are brought up again, they have a clear story arc going somewhere from even very early on in the season. they've got their wish, and now as of the previous episode they've also got their desire for revenge against fudo. the show actually put time and effort into developing them as characters and it would be super weird if it just never did anything with that, regardless of whether you think they deserve some sort of redemption or not

Just saw it. I think that was several times worse than the episode 9 scene. That was a split second scene that was over in an instant and you dont even see their faces while this was a lingering shot on the wound with the victim clearly suffering and crying in pain and then bleeding out. Plus it was an innocent child while I wasnt sure if the two in episode 9 were bad guys at first (turns out they are) but they looked like combatants. There were a bunch of people getting bisected during the attack too. This was a terrorist attack and those in general are horrifying even to adults. The scene in episode 9 is just one of those sci-fi moments that happen in kid shows like Mewtwo in Pokmon. Im surprised you were able to handle episode 2 tbh lol. Even I felt uncomfortable watching it.

No, they aren't due their revenge. What happened is rather common, tbh - personally I think you're thinking too much into it.

Btw do the characters in symphogear stay dead? I always envisioned it as a yu-gi-oh/sailor moon type of show where people are revived. A terrorist attack in a non-reviving show is actually really dark.

Damn, thats darker than a lot of Shounen, fantasy, and other magical girl shows. Thats way darker than I thought. That makes the villains acting more like a character in a less serious show seem a bit disquieting. Also with the whole premise about fighting while singing.

I wasn't. I looked away as soon as I saw what was about to happen, because that one was telegraphed a bit.

Kanade died in episode 1 by using her climax song when her body couldn't handle it, and has thus far stayed dead, but she was mostly a plot device to bring Hibiki and Tsubasa together in the beginning anyways. Fine (season 1 villain) was in a cycle of reincarnation, but that cycle (and her life for real) ended in season 2. Dr. Nastassja (season 2 kind-of-sort-of-villain) died for real, but she was really old to begin with. Dr. Ver (season 2 main villain) died for real and has thus far not come back, but knowing his personality and scientific genius, he probably (god I hope he did) implanted his mind somewhere as an AI. The Autoscorers (season 3 minor villains) were killed off, barely revived in season 5, then were killed off again for real. The alchemist trio (season 4 minor villains) and Adam Weishaupt (season 4 main villain) all died for real Plenty of random military guys have gotten dusted by (Alca-)Noise throughout the series before the Symphogears arrive to save the day, and Maria herself (when she was still a villain in season 2, before she reformed and joined the main cast) actually killed a few with her bare hands at one point. And then finally, the concert terrorist attacks in S1E1 and S5E2 likely had a combined death toll of at least 80,000 innocent civilians.

Thus far, none of the actual main cast has died, but they've had a few close calls.

Just finished watching Girlfriend Beta. Though the game is a dating sim, the anime is a chill, relaxing Cute Girl Cute Things show. It has the same issue Idol Incidents had. Too many characters with the best girls being relegated to tertiary characters

You know I had to make one. It just took a while to decide which Friday show would be this season's "finally a Friday" show, because there was some stiff competition from Dr. Stone, Fire Force, and Accelerator. But after last week, I knew Granbelm would be the one that joins the ranks.

You and I at least have Dr. Stone and Fire Force in common, plus I plan on watching Carole & Tuesday once it's fully out and dubbed.

My season consists of Symphogear XV, A Certain Scientific Accelerator, Dr. Stone, Fire Force, Granbelm, Demon Girl Next Door, and Are You Lost. Plus I had Black Clover, Fruits Basket, Yugioh VRAINS, and Star Twinkle Precure carrying over from previous seasons.
