And just like a swan song, Symphogear G comes to an end with an spectacular final battle and some nice and heartwarming conclusion, even if, in my personal opinion, the show needed one final scene to be a perfect ending. But that does not diminish this finale.
the finale goes absolutely nuclear and somehow sticks the landing. Chris using Solomon's Cane to open the Gate of Babylon to seal the Nephilim's heart rather than destroy it is genuinely clever and the image of her telling Solomon to prove his cane isn't just a tool for murder is one of the best lines in the season. Maria catching the cane and holding the gate open at the cost of being pulled through with the Nephilim's heart — choosing to seal herself away — is the right sacrifice for her arc. Ver throwing a tantrum because he doesn't get to die as a hero, escaping through a hole he punches in the floor like the unhinged disaster man he is, is peak Ver to the absolute end. the All Symphogears Unite finale sequence with the world's phonic gain powering everyone to fix the moon is Symphogear at its most delirious and most sincere simultaneously. an absolutely wild and completely satisfying ending.
Some anime are just a convoluted mess of a story, granted I shall reserve judgement since I haven't seen all the Symphogear series. The creature that can absorb relics and energy seems it's ability went on vacation. Hibiki's friend threw the cane into the wormhole how, why? She should be playing in the major leagues, and why who said the cane will close the moment it passed through the wormhole. If you like fast paced action with heavy lore, mahou shoujo type anime with Megazords, and scantily cladded maidens then Symphogear G has you covered!
