I wrote a like 5 page document comparing and contrasting RWBY and Symphogear and why I think Symphogear does a lot of things that RWBY tries to do but better and then I realized no one else would care about except me so I deleted it lol
The summary of it was basically, Symphogear truly believes in the goodness of all humans and shows it plus Symphogear writes it female characters like male characters and aside I love that Hibiki is literally just some guy, she isn't a chosen one or destined to be a hero, she chooses to be a hero every single time
I love RWBY btw it's also one of my favorite shows but my biggest problem with it is it's lack of commitment to its central themes. Symphogear will bash you over the head with its themes until you can't even pretend to not understand it
I ended up writing more than I intended to again but I'll just end it here, anyway I just have thoughts about it
I mean my favorite contrast is when Ruby complains about how heels get in the way and awkwardly walks around but leaves them on and Hibiki is like these heels are in the way and just breaks them off and they never come back lmao
Every day user Trannyman™ makes me wanna watch more Symphogear.
Rwby is a slight love and hate of myself. I certanly love it a lot but oh god the terrors fkekdkwk. But it is also somewhat unique? Like not completly but theres some spice there I kinda miss in other things :/
My goal in life is to spread symphogear propoganda
But seriously I feel the same way, RWBY is dripping with potential and I thought the atlas arc was awesome but then everything about the White Fang storyline killed me, they fumbled that so hard so love-hate
And if you feel the same way I do, Symphogear will definitely be something you'd enjoy
Also like RWBY the animation in the first season is a bit rough lol
