1. Symphogear is for sci-fi and high tech fans

Anime lovers who are also into science fiction and the development of cool wearable technology might find the plot to be fascinating. Zwei Wing is in a fight against Noise, which is an alien race. They use a special kind of armor that uses musical power to nullify the destructive power of the Noise. The special armor is called Symphogear, hence the title of the series. It’s about fighting the aliens who seek to destroy them and if you like to see heroes in action and the use of magical technology, this is probably right up your alley.

2. It’s the traditional fight between good vs evil

Zwei Wing is made up of Tsubasa Kazanari adn Kanade Amo. They are the heroes who use the Symphogear to protect the innocent from the destructive Noise used to afflict the innocent. This is the age-old battle of good versus evil, but it never seems to go out of style.

3. “Symphogear” is available in a print adaptation

A manga adaptation was made into a collection for serial reading. The project was started in 2011 with the first release made in November of that year and it was completed in April of 2013. This is a long process that takes time. It appeared in Kadokawa Shoten’s Newtype Ace magazine during these periods of time. It became popular in print, which happened prior to the release of the first episode of the television series and those who read the adaptation were intrigued enough to watch the televised version.

4. It’s about girl power

If you enjoy stories that contain an uplifting message then you might want to check out Senki Zesshou Symphogear.

There are some good lessons found in the story if you’re looking for them.

5. The series is geared towards teens

Symphogear focuses the story around a schoolgirl who is ordinary in most aspects of her life. This makes it easy for kids in school to relate to the plot, but it’s something that adults can also relate to because we were all kids once. Something extraordinary happens to Hibiki Tachibana, the schoolgirl when she attends a Zei Wing concert that falls under attack by teh Eldritch Abominations who are also known as “Noise.” This is where the fantasy part comes in. Hibiki gets a Symphogear armor fragment embedded in her chest and it gives her special powers tht help her to join the fight of good vs. evil.

6. It shows that you can do great things in life when you’re still in school

Hibiki is showing us by example that you can have a lot going on in your life but still make time for your schoolwork.
