(English name spellings are unofficial)
Carol Mars Dienheim (far right) - Inori Minase
Elfnine (far left) - Misaki Kuno
Mika Jawkān (top left) - Shiori Izawa
Leah Darāhim (top right) - Shizuka Ishigami
Gali Tūmān (bottom right) - Michiyo Murase
Fallah Suyūf (bottom left)- Masumi Tazawa
Update: Changed the spellings of the names. 4 of the characters names refer to a set of ancient tarot cards located in a museum in Istanbul. The names are reflective of the 4 suits of cards:
Coins = Darāhim
Polo-sticks = Jawkān
Cups = Tūmān
Swords = Suyūf
The four characters with smaller pictures (also with the names listed above) are sentient puppets/dolls of some kind that belong to Carol. They, of course, can talk. They are called "Auto-Scorers." These new enemy characters utilize a different kind of technology than the black art technology Fine developed (aka the Symphogear).
A leak of schedule listings on 2chan seems to indicate GX will begin airing July 4th at 1am (Japan time).
Woah was not expecting that. Will be interesting to see how they'll interact in fight scenes. I wonder if they sing?
ReplyDeleteThe current popular theory is that because 4 of them are non-human that only one of the girls will sing, either Elfnine or Carol. Would make sense given the only character CD we don't know about is the 8th one.
DeleteHmm Elfnine and Carol look pretty similar, maybe the sing a duet.
DeleteHmm, can you translate the text that point to Carol and Elfnine?
ReplyDeleteThe sentences cut off mid-way so not really, but from what I can see Elfnine's text talks about how she looks similar to Carol, but describes them as two different people. Carol's text talks about how her outfit looks like a magic user's and that she has a relation to the other 4, which the bottom text says they act as her bodyguards.
DeleteI see, thank you.
DeleteIn contrast to Carol, who looks like a serious one out of two, Elfnine looks like a soft and timid girl but her outfit is really revealing. Heh.
well intersting so for S3 we have Symphogear VS puppets
ReplyDeleteTheir designs seem like something from another anime (first thing that came to mind was Witch Craft Works). Excited for more news to come :D
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts too, did not expect these. Super excited to see how fight scenes will look between the symphogear and these guys.
DeleteI really hope they explain many things about Custodians, Lulu Amel, etc.
ReplyDeleteIf not, they need another season (or at least make some manga of it)...
Have to be honest that I hate plot holes in the main story, and reading the encyclopedia is somewhat unsatisfying.
You're spoiling way too much!
ReplyDeleteSorry, not you, but I think that the producers are giving too much information about the next season. I wanted to have to wait until it aired, so I would have to look forward to ir even more. Since I've been waiting for more than a year without any news, having the full story spoiled now is kind of... dissappointing. If I know too much, I won't feel that exited when the anime comes out.
DeleteHm, I don't know. I feel like they are actually going out of their way to keep a lot of things hidden to us. The same was true with G - they revealed Maria and the other new characters early, but there was so much we didn't know about them until it was revealed in the series.
DeleteI think everything they are saying this far is just a big tease to get us excited, but if it's really bothering you I recommend not looking at any of the upcoming posts.
We've been told only very little about the story. All we know at this moment are the character designs.
