Symphogear Episode 01: Beat of Awakening

Welcome to the Senki Zessho Symphogear Episode Guide. Symphogear is one of my favorite anime of all time and I’m thrilled to share it with you! First off, a quick programming note. For this season, we’ll be using the Deetruck fan subs. I recommend these because of the way they separate the many songs from the spoken dialogue during episodes. Episode Summary:


Childhood’s End

“Are you ready for this, uh… miss?” whispered the late thirty-something year old very tall, very thin human man dressed in stealthy blacks.   “I already told you, my name is Kathrri,” Kathrricallia, a dark-haired elf maybe half his age, whispered back. She made sure to properly roll the double r-sound near the end of what most might consider her first name. Hers was a proud, resourceful name…


It’s This Way

Meeting a contact in the sewers would seem like a quiet affair, but it never is. In fact, it is often downright noisy. There is, of course, the flow of sewage water. A mixture of slushes, slurps, drips, and gurgles that echo off the maze of subterranean brick-laid tunnelways that help keep the city clean. And then there’s the various creatures that live among the sewage. Rats and bats and far…

Episode 6 of Bunny Girl Senpai Might Have The Most Wholesome Twist Ever

I’ve been watching back through Bunny Girl Senpai and just re-finished Tomoe Koga’s arc. I’d forgotten how good it was. Both in the way it played out but I’d really forgotten the way it ended!

I don’t think I’ve experience a year this good since the phenomenal 2018 which gave us shows like: A Place Further Than The Universe Violet Evergarden Revue Starlight Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai SSSS.Gridman Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms What 2022 gave us was both some wildly popular mainstream shows, and a fair number of excellent shows…
