In for those for sure. I hope they get the rights to the other 4 seasons of Symphogear.

Although i think you have me on your ignore list, i'll still respond. I've never seen the series but the MAL score has it just at 7 which is decent but not really something I would call big.

This goes for things in general, but it's not a good idea to judge a film/TV show/anime/book/manga or whatever based on a score by a website where people put down their scores and are averaged into a big one (like MAL).

Yes, but this is now available for pre-order and at a ridiculously good price.

Well I was just expecting something we didn't know, I mean everyone yesterday made it sound like some big secret.

Well, there will be an upcoming live event, so stay tuned to that.

I can partially agree with you, but I think if the majority of people think something is of a certain quality, they may have a point. Perhaps take the score into account and check out the first episode to see if it may be something you'll like.

It's good, that's why it has so many seasons. I've only seen the first, and while it's nothing earth shattering I'd say 7 is a pretty good score on MAL especially for something that isn't shonen and as unique as Symphogear. I'll admit it's not for everyone, idols fighting in somewhat skimpy battle armor using their voices (which is kind of a seiyuu promoting thing, there have been lots of live concerts), so it's probably going to be more popular in Japan than here, especially since you can't really dub it.

Btw. Symphogear is it good? I don't know this show, to be honest.

Still waiting for Discotek to say they got the Robin Warriors BD rights so I can upgrade.

Note that MAL users are known for not rating stuff harshly, and many rate on a 7-10 scale instead of 1-10. It used to be stupidly rare to see shows with an average score below 7.0, and stuff below 5.0 is still quite rare. MAL scores should be taken with an extremely small grain of salt. Now if you look at a site like AniDB which is also full of more older fans, they're known for rating much more harshly, stuff below 4.0 can be a common sight.

MAL has the most toxic fanbase I have ever seen. Full of *****y trash people. It literally takes any enjoyment out of watching your favorite anime if you go there. I avoid it like CORVID.

RW + Full Moon would be a dream.

[Show spoiler]*A complete dub for FM apparently exists, but even dual audio for the released episodes would be nice.

I mostly just use it for the list/database feature and scores. I don't bother with the community. I don't get along with most community's on the internet and the anime one is no different lol

I mainly use MAL for list/database feature. I nevee rely on there ratings. Been using anime planet way more lately.

I can usually tell by the plot summary, studio and art if the show is going to be trash or at least not to my taste. I've been watching anime long enough to know that

Y'all should be using Anime News Network.
