I've had it pointed out to me twice already that it looks like a wedding dress, yeah. Bridal Miku.
It really is the best thing that in the end the crazy vengeance plan was stopped by... an insistence that it wasn't needed and love instead. Also the perfect counterpoint to the sheer amount of negativity that's been around this season; people constantly predicting that either or both of Hibiki or Miku would have to die etc.
It will never not be strange how such an optimistic series also has an insane body count.
You have a point. Its probably a byproduct of the first season when it didn't really know what it wanted to to be at first.
Watch SymphogearAlso I am dumb:
Fine reincarnated using her descendants. Shirabe, Kirika, and Maria were said to be selected because they were descendants of Fine. Maria is Enki's descendant, allowing her to wield the gear created from his arm.
So that means Enki and Fine had at least one child before the whole Tower of Babel/Curse of Baal incident?
I just realized this and now I feel silly.

Great finale, although I was a tiny bit worried at the start before the tension ramped up and the animation too. .
So just the tiniest bit of plausible deniability with the Hibiki and Miku confession, but I'm still really happy. Very much Korra vibes really.
I am however a little disappointed Kimi Dake Ni never played, because aside from breaking the trend, I really love that song.
But Metanoia is another one I really like, so its not all bad.
Also the return of Ghost!Ver.
EDIT: Hibiki is less dense than we thought too!

I could see the other five appearing in a Striker S esque sequel series if we get one.
Hell, a few of their silhouettes were shown in AXZ, so who knows.
Watch SymphogearNot the best fight, but decent for the amount of time they had
Shem-Ha having altruistic intentions is an interesting idea that probably should have been examined in more depth. Which is to say, any amount of depth
Miku gets to keep her gear this time! Now that the series is over
How does Fine have a ghost? They literally killed her soul
Shem-Ha gets her post-defeat turn as a good guy early, which I supposed I approve of. Weird that Adam never came back, especially since the events of this season were exactly what he was trying to stop
Okay, that was cute enough that I can't actually be angry that we did not, strictly speaking, get a confession
So, this was easily the best Symphogear season. A bit over-crowded with ideas, over-reliant on the viewer remembering previous seasons, and a lot of plot threads had under-whelming payoffs, but still a very fun ride with great action and interesting concepts. ...And I have difficulty recommending it since the only other season I consider anywhere on it's level is G. Oh well
Yeah as far as hype goes the fight against Adam was much better, even if the hug resolution makes sense.
And I knew it was coming but cutting off right before the confession bummed me out.
Really? I thought G was easily the worst season.

I'd say G is the worst season because of the whole "the writers are in two minds about what they want to do" mess with that having consequent pacing issues and a sort of yo-yo of "now for something dark and edgy!" and then "no, undoing that!". I'd rank them XV > AXZ > GX > S1/G
With S1 mostly being down there because the production values were far worse.
Season 1-3 each have their flaws.
Season 1 had no budget for its visuals.
Season 2 had way too many cliffhangers and quite a bit of Idiot Plot going on.
Season 3 had a bunch of dully predictable episodic content in the gaps between its start, mid-season climax, and finale.
Seasons 4 and 5 are more of a happy medium. Excellent visuals, and neither too episodic nor too cliffhangery. However IMO their antagonists and music aren't quite as fun as past seasons.

GOD I DON'T WANT IT TO BE OVER.
So our final Opening-named Attack is: Ultimate Lesbian Cooldown Hug.
