This season is really queer! We not only have yuri, but canonically trans women!
The colours in that one extra's scene with Cagliostro is also pretty
Oh, the estrogen's boiling my brain~
We also get hints for the next season for the first time, and it seems like we may be getting more Miku action?

The "ichai" part of it is a localisation. In the original Japanese, it was "ichii", which means yew trees. The "val" part is a shortening of the English word valley. So Ichaival translates to "yew valley", which is also what Ydalir translates to as well.
However, Ydalir was a location, and there were no bows named Ichaival or anything of the sort. Ullr is a god of archery, but his bows seem to be anonymous.
And moving on, Shul Shagana and Igalima are also the names of gods in Mesopotamian mythology. For some reason, the names were reused for Zababa's weapons, so it's likely Symphogear is referencing those weapons rather than the actual deities themselves.

I forgot to mention that the OP for Symphogear G actually shows the deities associated with each symphogear's relic, which was something I only really took notice of after I did a bit of research into the relics.
For Ichaival, this is actually a bow from Fire Emblem. However, Ichaival itself is a sort of translated name of Ullr's domain, Ydalir.
I'm also not really sure why 298 yen keeps getting mentioned (in G and the extras). It's so oddly specific
It reminds me of buying love for 298 yen at the FamiMart in Monogatari, but I figured they were making a pun off of Mayoi's family name (Hachikuji can be broken down into the numbers 8, 9 and 2).
You're that serious about holding hands?
Indeed... the amount of uncensored handholding in this anime...!
When we saw Hibiki and Miku sharing a bed in episode 1, I made the "They were just roommates" joke.
But just so you know how bad past me was... I think I might have genuinely thought they were just roommates back then
I watched the first season of Symphogear earlier today with @LianSirenia and @Lily !
I've watched it myself before and dropped it in season 2 because I felt it was kinda... cheesy?
Let me just say this now, past me... You're a bloody moron!
Well, past me probably had a lot of internalised issues to work with back then, and past me was also sorely lacking in life experience. Watching it again, I could really feel the struggles of the characters a lot more now.
I'm just... floored by how much I missed on the first watch. I somehow thought this was like, a 4/10 anime when it is more like a 8/10 or 9/10 anime!
