Symphogear

Symphogear, known in Japan as Senki Zesshō Symphogear (戦姫絶唱シンフォギア), is a Japanese multimedia franchise brand built around a television anime series that blends action heroines with song-driven battle sequences. The brand's official portal at symphogear.com serves as the central hub for the property, presenting sections for news, story and setting, staff and cast, characters, movies, sound and audio samples, special content, related merchandise, links, and broadcast/streaming information. The franchise launched as a TV anime in 2012 and expanded across multiple numbered seasons. According to the official site's news archive, a second season was announced in October 2012, a third season site (Symphogear GX) opened in March 2015, a fourth season (Symphogear AXZ) teaser site appeared in March 2017, and a fifth season (Symphogear XV) was announced in March 2018 for an April 2019 broadcast. The property has also extended into games, including the smartphone game Symphogear XD UNLIMITED, whose information was revealed in September 2016. Beyond television, the brand encompasses music releases, live concerts and event merchandise, home video such as Blu-ray boxes, and broadcast/streaming distribution. The official site has tracked re-airings on TV Tokyo, all-night theatrical screenings, online lottery (kuji) merchandise campaigns, and limited-time full-series streaming on its official YouTube channel. This mix of anime, music, games and live events positions Symphogear as a cross-media entertainment brand rather than a single product. The brand remains active, with the official news feed showing continued activity into 2025, including an online kuji campaign in May 2025 and a first-season all-night screening announced in March 2025.

Symphogear, formally Senki Zesshō Symphogear (戦姫絶唱シンフォギア), is a Japanese anime and music franchise brand whose official portal is symphogear.com. The property began as a television anime series that premiered in 2012, combining action heroines with song-based battle sequences. The official site's news archive documents the brand's expansion from its first season onward. In October 2012, shortly after the first season aired, the official site announced that a second TV anime season had been greenlit. That second season, Symphogear G, received its own official site in March 2013. The franchise continued to grow, and in March 2015 the official site for the third season, Symphogear GX, was opened. The brand also expanded into games: in September 2016 the official site revealed information about the smartphone game Symphogear XD UNLIMITED, following a production announcement broadcast on Nico Nico Live. The franchise's fourth season, Symphogear AXZ, had its teaser site published in March 2017. In March 2018 the official site announced that the fifth season, Symphogear XV, would air in April 2019. Alongside the anime seasons, the brand developed a substantial music and live-event component, with concert merchandise, soundtracks and audio samples featured on the official portal. Home video has been an important part of the brand. In January 2017 the official site announced a Symphogear Blu-ray box release, and in February 2017 it published jacket images and store-specific bonus information. Broadcast and streaming distribution have also been actively managed: the site tracked re-airings on TV Tokyo, all-night theatrical screenings, and limited-time full-series streaming on the official YouTube channel starting in May 2019. The brand has continued to release merchandise and run promotional campaigns, including online kuji lotteries, with activity documented into 2025.
