“The reason to fight with your life on the line lies within
yourself, my friend.”
And with that…
The title of season 3 has been announced as Senki Zesshou
Symphogear GX!
Unlike many of you had guessed, it’s not “Go” or “Shin”! Too
bad!
…That's what I had planned to write 2 weeks ago, but due to various
adult reasons (mainly my own procrastination), I ended up updating the blog
today of all days. Forgive me.
I would be happy if all you kind people could read this post
with the same feelings in mind that you had right when the G marathon ended two
weeks ago. (A selfish request)
Looking at the silhouette behind the logo and the slogan, it
may seem far from suitable for Symphogear, but the truth is that the story will
develop in that way.
It will be a happy and fun Symphogear! Because it’s summer!
…To the people expecting something like that I must profusely
apologize. I can guarantee that it will be like summer in the sense that it
will be burning hot. At least that’s what I’m absent-mindedly thinking as I try
to ignore the suffering of my allergies.
At the current moment I can’t make any solid references to
things that will happen, so my writing is becoming incredibly vague but for
those of you interested in what GX’s story will contain I highly suggest
taking a look at the report manga in the G Key Animation Note.
Although that was released awhile ago, and we did the
interviews for it over half a year ago, ever since then we’ve proceeded to work
on GX without any major transitions or changes.
Of course Nozaki-san, who wrote the report manga, put in a
lot of jokes and often times the subject matter discussed was vague. Not to
mention that the sequence of our conversations were shuffled slightly. Overall
though, if we look back on it after GX has finished airing I’m sure we can say “See?
We didn’t lie about anything, right?”
If you haven’t read it yet, please take the opportunity to
do so. (Salesman smile)
Finally I have one more thing to add.
The title for season 3, “GX” is something I selfishly
decided to add myself. With the story continuing on from G, the intention is
that we will “reach the end of episode G.”
So that’s the real reason an “X” was added after the “G” but…
In baseball there is a mercy rule, when the teams have
played at least seven innings and one team is ahead by over 10 points, the game
ends with that team as the victor. At that time an × is
displayed on the scoreboard, isn’t it?
Well we took that × and made it into an“X” for “GX.”
Of course right now we are still in the middle of working on
the series, so the meaning of GX may end up expanding or changing, but at the
outset it is intended as being “the end of episode G.”
What exactly I mean by that, well, you’ll find out if you
watch GX when it begins airing in July, but…
What’s bothering all of you now is that this post is being
published on April Fools Day.
Normally I’m not capable of joking when it comes to discussing
the reasons behind my work, but the timing of this post makes it impossible to seem
not suspicious.
Within today’s post, there certainly could be a lie mixed in
somewhere, or the entire thing could be lie, or it could be the complete truth.
(It also seems like I procrastinated long enough to aim to
publish this on April 1st)
To those of you who won’t be fooled by a tricky
adult,
To those of you who can perceive the actual truth,
I leave you with this last piece of information.
I leave you with this last piece of information.
I’ll do my best while we work on the rest of the series! (<- This shouldn’t be a lie)
