#Symphogear ep5: The organization has been severely compromised, but that doesn't matter when you're as badass Hibiki. #anime 

It appears that the running theme now, is how the other world powers
are clamoring for Japan's trump cards... the symphogears and relics.
It's leading to a 3-way rumble between the mysterious group
controlling the Noise and them. And there are a lot of dead bodies in
its wake.

As preposterous as Hibiki's rise appears to be, it's not off-putting
because I don't think this show takes itself that seriously. It just
appears to be having a whole lot of fun, and I am, too. I'm a little
worried though about the prospects of everyone around Hibiki. It
appears that Ryouko is double-crossing/selling out the organization,
and may be the one controlling "Chris" (who is quickly becoming a
loser-villain).
