This is most likely due to the high cost of licensing the songs. Speaking of Macross, another reason why Symphogear is underwatched is because it is not licensed outside of Japan. I personally would say that Satelight is an underrated studio, which then makes their works pretty underrated themselves. However, from the past 4 years of me watching anime, Satelight has become my favorite studio who were responsible for creating some of my favorite series such as Symphogear, White Album 2, SukaSuka, Earth Maiden Arjuna, Log Horizon S1, the recently aired Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, and of course their flagship and one of the major inspirations for Symphogear: the Macross series. Satelight on the other hand is a virtually unknown studio to them, so they'll just walk away. When they see something like Madhouse, Bones, Kyoto Animation, or Shaft, they immediately hop aboard the hype train. There are dozens of people I've seen on the internet who if they saw even one of those themes above, they would give Symphogear an immediate pass.Īnother factor why people may avoid the series is because of the studio. Symphogear contains some of the most disliked themes in the western anime community:Ī low-budget 1st season with poor art and animation. I wouldn't say underrated since it isn't exactly a show for everyone. Underwatched would be the more appropriate term.
