All I can say is a certain someone strikes again this week. Who is it you ask? Let’s find out in episode 12:
I think I’m having way too much fun rather than feeling emotionally sad by what’s going on. Ah well, this episode kicked ass regardless. Picture Show of happiness time!
Special thanks to SA.com’s Zefiris for her inspiration.
Berserk Hibiki, complete form. GRRR! SAGGY IMPLANTS MAKE FUN OF JUICY IMPLANT SACRIFICE, BIKKIE SMASH SAGGY IMPLANTS!
Sora’s Anti-Form from Kingdom Hearts II.
I’m guessing the writers were inspired by the Kingdom Hearts Series after seeing Sora’s Anti-Form in action. Not a bad reference at all. So Anti-Bikkie is fully consumed by rage after Fine mocks Chris’ sacrifice. Like any Berserk Form, you have very little control over your actions, gain HUGE amounts of attack power but your defense and sanity greatly suffer for it.
Asgard Shield.
BIKKIE MAKE SLICED BREAD!
Cocky Witch.
As Anti-Bikkie attacks anything that provokes her, including Tsubasa…
Of all the girls to break down, I didn’t expect anime reference girl. As she had given up after Hibiki succumbed to darkness, Miku continued believing in the girl she loves.
For all the fangirls around the world, I’ll become the next badass who sacrifices my life for the sake of the Earth. Besides, your classic villainous actions made me laugh inside Fine. Uh-oh, Anti-Bikkie wants my poontang.
GRRRR! BIKKIE SMASH FLAT CHEST!
C’mere, biiiiiiig hug!
Stay here, you need a time out. Now excuse me while I go be awesome.
grrr…flat chest grope Bikkie “heart”. Bikkie will calm down by eating Doritos.
BEHOLD!
MY AWESOMENESS!
Psych! I’m after the Durandal while still being a badass with my Blazing Chicken Wings.
Captain Falcon Gomen!
Hey doods. Remeber me? The most awesome killed off character in anime history? Well, maybe not as awesome as Kamina but close enough. Anyway, up for one last hurrah my darling Tsubasa?
Hey Hibiki, check out “our” epic Kamikaze Phoenix Attack while we scream as proudly as a Headless Kamikaze!
NOOOOOO! My brilliantly evil plan for world domination by blowing up the moon has been foiled again! Forgive me for my failure Marvin the Martian.
Oh well, though my plan to cause a global disaster and force the humans to accept me as their messiah failed, I can still have you to beat up. A decent compensation I suppose. “By the way, Fine. you want to connect with The Almighty Creator so much, GO TO CHURCH! That’s how I do it every Thursday and Sunday. Sheesh. Your plan sucks in so many ways. Yeah, I know you have a smokin’ body and all, but what makes you so special that the Lord will choose only you and abandon everyone else!? Do you really think destroying the world will bring you a step closer to GOD!? HE’D send you on a one way trip to Hades for all the sins you’ve committed over centuries!
Ahem, I’m getting personal here. My sincerest apologies. It’s only an anime.
Remember me? I’m the girl from episode 2 Hibiki protected against the Gnosis.
Well, since I went uncharacteristically religious for a second, let me use it to my advantage. “Not so fast Fine! I, Lesbian Jesus, along with my cupcake choir, will sing a song to resurrect my beloved and her allies. The Power of Song Compels You Fine!”
“Your Wish is My Command, Miku”
Kanade, the most awesome killed off character in anime history? *cof*cof*Teresa*cof*cof*
And after the final monologue from Fine, when Hibiki gives us a title drop, I was expecting “Libera Me from Hell” to be played in the background.
Anyways, great episode. The ending was something else.
This series with all its ups and downs its highly enjoyable. I cant wait to see how them end it.
(Hopefuly the beginning of the series will be a misleading clue).
I haven’t seen as many shows as you have so excuse me for not knowing who Teresa is. Unless she was killed really early in her show, like Kamina and Kanade, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
BTW, cough referencing, really?
Most are still hoping for a swerve but I think it’ll end the way it did in episode 1 but who knows?
Awwww… so, I spoiled it. Sorry. ><
But, well, its from Claymore. A really good series. The manga is better, the anime has a gecko ending. Im really hoping they do a remake or a continuation skipping the anime ending.
And yes, Teresa case is very similar to Kamina. Both died early and they deaths become the motivation for the acts of the main characters. And both are an example to be follow.
But Teresa was done a few years first. And while Simon in the end we can say that even surpase Kamina, in Claymore case… well, not. Nobody can surpass Teresa of the Faint Smile.
An spin-off with her as protagonist… aaah… one can only dream. Silly me.
And whats wrong with the cough? Its a classic!! I like classics.
PD: Kamina, Teresa, Mami and Kanade… I salute you all, all of you were Too Cool to Live!!!
I don’t particularly like memes, such as cough referencing. Ah well, no harm done..
Ah yes, claymore. another show I should have picked up, yet didn’t. So many good shows on my schedule. So many indeed. Thanks for the reminder.
Ah, Mami. How could I have forgotten her? It was her shocking moment that opened people’s eyes to Madoka. Thanks for the reminder dood.
– Dude, I do that too.
Welcome fellow believer.
High five, bro.
I would never forget such a cute girl. She likes hearts which makes her even cuter. I would however forget anime reference girl.
Hibiki berserk mode, even monsters cry sometimes
or, monsters have such human hearts.
Not the cutest girl I’ve seen in anime but decent enough to go d’awww over.
Glad you had a good time watching Anti-Hibiki attack everything in sight. The tear obviously represented Hibiki’s conscience still inside the seemingly mindless killing machine. Good stuff, simple and to the point, but you already knew that.
I really enjoyed the captions haha especially the big huuug and remembering the most awesome killed-off character.
Now is the perfect time to catch up with this one because the last episode is this weekend. I’m glad you enjoyed my commentary.
Okay, I’ll try to watch it this weekend.
As soon as the episode’s subbed, I’ll have a review ready.
Lesbian Jesus and the cupcake choir, now THAT is awesome, lol. I finally caught up last week and I’m eagerly awaiting the finale. I think the whole “tower of Babel” thing was kind of corny, and Fine doing all the wrong things to show her love for her creator. Other than that though, the episode was epic and I’m quite liking how Symphogear is turning out. I really don’t want it to end already.
Still waiting for the subs, eagerly awaiting them. The finale already aired but it hasn’t been subbed for some reason.
