Senki Zesshou Symphogear/YMMV


 * Crowning Music of Awesome: It's Nana Mizuki and Minami Takayama, what did you expect?
 * Aoi Yuuki doesn't stray far behind them, and neither does Ayahi Takagaki.
 * LISTEN TO MY SONG.
 * Meteor Lights the ED theme.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Genjuro. To have a Hot-Blooded Big Brother Mentor in a Magical Girl Warrior series is a first.
 * Fridge Brilliance: If the Noise are behind most monsters in legends, maybe people accidentally fused with relics gave birth to werewolf tales?
 * Fridge Logic: For some reason the trio forgets to use Durandal to take out the Moon, relying instead in a choral Ultimate Song.
 * I Knew It!: Some fans assumed that the Downer Beginning was just a Troll and that Hibiki is still alive. Some even thought of it already at the very beginning.
 * Les Yay: Within the first episode, we're shown two girls engaging in emotionally intimate conversation while physically sharing the top bunk of a bunk bed. By the second episode, it is implied that such is a regular occurrence for the two, even if it's not meant to last.
 * Miku seems to be very fond of Hibiki, blushing around her, being unhappy when they can't be together, being reduced to a solemn, morose wreck after her death... Hibiki, for her part, all but confessed her love for Miku in the second episode. While they were sharing a bed.
 * The first scene we get of Tsubasa shows her blushing while Kanade tells her that she (Kanade) needs her. Following Kanade's death, Tsubasa has been obsessed with Kanade.
 * Episode 3 has Ryouko biting Hibiki's ear and pretty much (read: explicitly) saying that she wants to take Hibiki's virginity.
 * Astute readers will note that this accounts for every named female character but Chris. She shas her moment with Miku in episode eight.
 * Miku checking out a book titled "Be Honest with Yourself". It's not that hard to figure what it's about.
 * Replacement Scrappy: In-universe example with Hibiki, to Tsubasa. Thus far, she's started to let up and not see Hibiki as one anymore.
 * What the Hell Casting Agency: All of the seiyuus for the Valkyries are not widely known for the genre they portray in the anime. (Aoi Yuuki doing a Badass Leitmotif? Ayahi Takagaki opting for HARD ROCK?). To be fair, Nana Mizuki does have yet another Dark Magical Girl character.
