More people really should watch the show. If it doesn't pick up steam now that it's over I think we'll probably start seeing it show up as a cult classic in a short time. I had lots of fun chatting with you about it, too.

Likewise, it's been fun hearing your reactions to the show.

Literally anyone of them could be best girl, they were all pretty neat in their own way.

Definitely. As for your picks, I totally agree that Aoi, Yoko, and Yukarin did fantastic jobs voicing those characters you mentioned... and the fact that you liked those voices in particular means that I should start trying to convince you to watch Symphogear and Lyrical Nanoha now too.

Now I'll ask the same back, who was your best girl (and which of the Armanox did you like the most)?

I liked all of the girls as well, but my contest for best girl was actually between Nene and Mangetsu. I thought Nene being totally cool with helping out as the main crew's support/intel girl even after being eliminated from Granbelm was neat. Her shut-in personality manifesting itself through her Armanox being better at long-range combat was really interesting too, and of course I just flat-out liked the fact that she was cute and smol.

As for Mangetsu, I not only found her story and character development across the series really interesting, I ended up really sympathizing with her. The feeling of being "just there" and not feeling special or important at all is something that I've struggled with before in my own life. I enjoyed her energy, her early-series optimism (before the suffering kicked into high gear), and her mid-series battle mania as well. Overall, I'd have to give Mangetsu the #1 spot, but Nene was a close second and I liked all of them in some way.

For my favorite Armanox, I'd probably have to say Shingetsu's Viola Katze. I liked its look the most, plus it was (IMO) the most fun to watch fight because of how many tricks and attacks Shingetsu was able to use in battle. As I mentioned earlier, Nene's Ji Guan Long was just a great design choice for her in particular, and it transforming into a more melee-capable form during her battle with Mangetsu as she realized that she had friends and didn't want to just be a shut-in anymore was a great punctuation mark on her battle. So those would be my top two.

TL;DR: Mangetsu was best girl, Shingetsu had the best Armanox, but Nene was the best combination of both.
