Season overview

Superb Song of the Valkyries: Symphogear is a Japanese anime television franchise that premiered in 2012. The series is categorized under the genres of animation, science fiction, fantasy, action, adventure, and drama. The story begins during a concert performed by the idol group Zwei Wing. During the event, an alien force known as the Noise attacks the stage. Group members Tsubasa Kazanari and Kanade Amou utilize Symphogear armor to suppress the threat. During the conflict, an innocent bystander named Hibiki Tachibana sustains fatal injuries. Kanade Amou sacrifices herself to save Hibiki, an act that leaves Tsubasa distraught. Two years later, the threat of the Noise continues to increase, and Tsubasa Kazanari fights the alien force alone. Hibiki Tachibana, who survived the initial encounter, finds herself facing the Noise once again. During this later confrontation, Hibiki is granted the opportunity to become attuned with the same Symphogear armor that Kanade Amou previously wielded. The series explores the ongoing struggle against the Noise as the characters navigate their roles in protecting humanity. The show is also known by its Japanese title, Senki Zessho Shinfogia.
