The best way I can describe Symphogear is by saying that it's a sci-fi magical girl anime crossed with an idol show.

5 Reasons To Watch: MF Ghost
MF Ghost makes great use of this change in format to make its races more dynamic. There's more push-and-pull, more drama.
5 Reasons To Watch: Angelic Layer
Don't underestimate Angelic Layer. Its battle scenes can more than rival those of traditional shounen action anime.
5 Reasons To Watch: Flip Flappers
I initially compared Flip Flappers to a mixture of Alice in Wonderland and Madoka Magica, but in truth it's more like anime Psychonauts.
5 Reasons To Watch: Gurren Lagann
Gurren Lagann is a constant barrage of delicious action scenes, full of amazing moments and hilarity. This was Gainax at its peak.
5 Reasons To Watch: Death Parade
If you know anybody who is skeptical about anime, then Death Parade could be a fun anime to introduce them to.
5 Reasons To Watch: Eromanga Sensei
I was expecting something far more trashy when I first put it on my backlog, but I ended up genuinely appreciating Eromanga Sensei.

Few would guess that Tri-Zenon instead draws inspiration from Legend of the Galactic Heroes of all things instead.

Count the number of times the word "goblin" is used in this review.
5 Reasons To Watch: Log Horizon
Isekai were familiar and perhaps tiring trope even when this anime first released, but which Log Horizon gives an all-new spin.
5 Reasons To Watch: Interspecies Reviewers
Monster Musume may have ignited a renewed interest in anime monster girls, but Interspecies Reviewers takes the concept far, far further.
5 Reasons To Watch: Pandora Hearts
Pandora Hearts does a great job at keeping you invested by constantly introducing new threads and resolving others.
5 Reasons To Watch: Isekai Ojisan
A person being transported to a fantasy world after an accident is nothing new, but Isekai Ojisan is not your ordinary fantasy isekai.
5 Reasons To Watch: Flying Witch
If Flying Witch was intended as a sneaky marketing campaign for Hirosaki, then it did a damn fine job at it.
5 Reasons To Watch: Peace Hame!
Though the initial plot appears like a straightforward vehicle for sex scenes, Peace Hame has more depth to it than you might think.
5 Reasons To Watch: Initial D
Initial D is the iconic racing anime. A status it has enjoyed (and defended) for two-and-a-half decades now.
5 Reasons To Watch: Grimm’s Notes
All your childhood stories now feature waifus.
5 Reasons To Watch: Hellsing (2001)
To kill a vampire, you need more than a stake to the heart or a 9mm to the face. Hellsing's vampires are borderline eldritch in nature.
5 Reasons To Watch: Kekkai Sensen
I'd say that Kekkai Sensen is a series that's worthy of standing besides other Bones works like My Hero Academia and Soul Eater.
5 Reasons To Watch: Squid Girl
Fish-out-of- water comedy tends to be rather predictable, but Squid Girl taps into some very good material for its comedy.
5 Reasons To Watch: El-Hazard
All the different inspirations come together very well, making El-Hazard a fascinating world that I wish we could've gotten to see more of.
5 Reasons To Watch: Strawberry Marshmallow
Strawberry Marshmallow is straightforwardly an anime about the silly antics of a group of friends as they all hang out together.
