Akane Shinjo presses the button to request a bus stop while sharing a smile with her friend and classmate Rikka Takarada.
Akane's true identity is one of SSSS.Gridman's core plot points, but Rikka's is perhaps the #anime's most closely guarded secret. One that is so subtly revealed that many viewers might not even know of its existence.
This is pretty much a "If you know, you know..." shot from #LandOfTheLustrous. Pairs nicely with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yB7NLTjTMg
Kaoruko Hanayagi and Futaba Isurugi sit beneath the bright neon lights of a cabaret more at odds with each other than ever before. At issue in this stage play scene on the magical Stage of Fate is whether these two will stay together or go their separate ways.
Their Revue of Resentment is all about Futaba's newfound need to stand out on stage with her own talent vs Kaoruko's controlling codependence that would see them always together but never equals.
"Please change. Four person."
In a show of hard won determination and unwavering friendship, Shirase Kobuchizawa exchanges her group's four tickets to Fremantle Australia for a more expensive flight days later so they could work around the issue of reprinting a lost passport.

When he is pulled into the real world, he first agrees it should be destroyed for placing himself and other fictional characters in such dire stakes for others' amusement, but his creator knows him so well that she's able to deftly convince him to help save the world instead of destroy it.
Concerts in the Macross universe are, naturally, out of this world! Nothing in real life comes close!
Using a combination of giant displays, holograms, robotics, and her own person, Sheryl Nome puts on one of her exciting, slightly risqué pop/rock concerts for the populace of the Macross Frontier colony ship. Even the main stage is projected at full scale in multiple locations in the amphitheater so everyone in the wrap-around audience has a great view!
Symphogear GX is dang good. As the show's third season, it balances a larger cast of six heroines against a new world-ending threat.
It features a dangerous cast of enemies, a rollercoaster of a plot filled despair and awe in equal measure, and a surprisingly hard hitting message of providing forgiveness to those very much in the wrong.
Add in the series' normal bevy of action sequences, mid combat songs, and absurdly cute moments, and the season really hold up well!
