So which magical girl show made 30 years prior does it rip off of?

>If not, why?

Because, if I remember correctly it's full of suffering. I don't like suffering in my cartoons.

this show as terrible

if you like lesbian magical girls with mecha suits, just watch fucking Symphogear

But then it'd be another Madoka clone. Everyone expects Urobuchi levels of death and misery now. It wouldn't be Magical Girl Gurren Lagann without a hammy climax where the main character harnesses the power of love and friendship to punch genre conventions in their dumb face.

GX is utter horseshit, though, to be honest.

I disagree.

Symphogear is one of the few shows that get's better by marathoning it, I recently rewatched parts of GX and it was much more fun just blazing through it that waiting a week each time.

The nature of this show, being cliffhangers and pure hype, doesn't work well with having to wait a long time, your expectations grow so big that no episode could meet them.

I have to say though, that GX was the weakest season so far, I hope the fourth season has more Genjuro.

Feel free to post about it in the Symphogear thread I made, it's currently just a big webm dump.

The Hibidad subplot was the deal breaker for me, or at least how it got resolved at the epilogue. It was a massive asspull even for Symphogear, and not in a fun way, either.
