Senki Zesshou Symphogear episode 3: Interesting, though it bothers me how Hibiki can go from quiet yet determined to feral and animalistic without batting an eye, and then back again just as quick. It's jarring, especially after the end of the first episode where she did the same thing. Whatever, that girl with the crystal armour looks interesting.
Another Episode 2: I really started to wonder why the hospital didn't have a 4th floor (the elevator buttons and signs went 1,2,3,5,6) until i realized that in japan the number 4 symbolizes death and all hospitals and apartment buildings skip the 4th floor. It was unintentionally creepy and i would have been more creeped out if there HAD been a 4th floor now that i remembered this little detail.
DOLLS. OH GOD DOLLS.
My guess is that underneath her eye patch Misaki has a green eye, a transplant from the dead girl mentioned in the episode, who the doll was based on. Chances are, that girl was her twin sister, and going from what Misaki said about being calmer "detatched" from your twin, that this Misaki was being hidden away until her twin died, and she's escaped to take her place. Why her parents would claim to have only one child and hide Misaki away is a bit weird though.
Thats all pure speculation from what i've seen this episode.
Long story short though, i have seen nothing so far which suggests anything supernatural at all. The first episode was very vague about it but this episode has definitely forced me to make up my mind.
It's trying to push the idea of ghosts and the supernatural so it can throw some very realistic horror at us, one of abuse and stuffs.
