Synopsis:

In a world veiled by hidden technology and looming threats, the music duo Zwei Wing stands as humanity's first line of defense. Tsubasa Kazanari and Kanade Amou channel sonic energy through powerful instruments called Symphogears to combat the mysterious Noise, alien entities posing an unseen danger to society. The existence of these weapons is concealed from the public, maintaining a fragile peace.

Following a devastating attack during a concert where Kanade makes a profound sacrifice, the narrative shifts when Hibiki Tachibana unexpectedly inherits a fragment of Kanade's Symphogear. Two years later, forced back into conflict, Hibiki must confront her newfound abilities and forge an unlikely partnership with the grief-stricken Tsubasa. The series explores themes of loss, responsibility, and the complex relationship between music, technology, and the fight for survival against an enigmatic foe.
