People argue about whether or not Sympho is magical girl.

I'd personally say that it is, but it also borrows a lot of elements from idol anime and mecha shows, so it's not the easiest recommend specifically to people who just want "a magical girl show".

Though if someone liked Granbelm they'd probably be fine with the power armor (for lack of a better term) in Sympho.

Symphogear is 25 percent magical girls, 25 percent mecha, 25 percent shonen, 25 percent idol, and 141 and 2/3's percent PURE AWESOMENESS

I refer to it as a shounen mahou shoujo, and will not stop doing that.
