| A full episode of backstory of how Takt and Cossette became a Conductor and a Musickart. It's still unknown tho why Cossette was chosen to become Destiny. Welp, they still have so much time to explain things. Symphonica is kinds sus, are they bringing the festival to a town to destroy it, through the D2s?  |

| I really loved the focus on the characters on this episode, and seems like the backstory will continue next week, i hope cosette didn't die for real. I find this episode to be even better than last one. Also, takt became my spirit animal at this point. |
That's actually true. I thought it was a nitpicking lol |
| So we get a prequel to episode 1 with this episode. I imagine they did this because they knew this episode wasn't as interesting as episode 1, and that's pretty much my opinion about episode 2. Not much about this episode entertained me. It wasn't bad, but it was basically more world building and the end result was pretty obvious from the get go. The more I watch this show, I can't help but feel that it's just trying to be a Fate ripoff, which is not necessary a bad thing, but I kind of wish they did something a little more unique. |
Yea, that sucks that MAPPA actually isn’t animating Takt OP then |

| Animation look pretty dull if compared with first episode. So right now we'll saying that Madhouse is better than Shitppa? Ofc is it. |
Kamisa88 said: it makes sense considering they have 3 other big projects like Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen Movie, SNK Final Season Part 2. most likely they are more focused on those three projects and put their best staff than in Takt op Destiny.Snow_dropindo99 said: some staff from voln work with mappa. Not outsource, that is what voln also do with mappa in ushio to tora anime. Mappa is busy asf so no wonder they need help, but that is still they episode, just that some staff from voln came to helpI don't know if this is true or not but on Instagram I found news that MAPPA shifted most of the production in eps 2 to Studio VOLN.

| I think this was a pretty solid second episode. I love the music choice, it looks like both studios are carefully picking songs that are enjoyable, but also in tune with the characters emotions or mental states. I like the backstory of Takt and Cosette, the sequence of events and the way they're linked are well-thought of. The pacing is very decent too, after a fast-paced first episode, this episode allows the story to sink in and gives the viewer the chance to focus on the plot. I'm impressed with the CGI of this episode. It's better than the first episode if I dare say, even though the CGI in the last episode was pretty good too. All of these small details made me enjoy this episode, but y'all, get ready for some action in the next episode. |

Most of the work in this episode were done in-house in MAPPA with outsourced input as usual and some assistance from VOLN's staff. It's not shifted to VOLN. Let's not forget that VOLN is also a Madhouse breakaway just like MAPPA, so it's no surprise if some acquaintances known from Madhouse days will work on this one as well. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| I have mixed feeelings about this. The whole build up for the concert felt very cozy and pastoral and when the D2 attack happened it really twisted the structure and the mood of the episode. The birth of Destiny and her union with Maestro Takt was beautifully animated but I wasn't quite sold on Takt sudden desire to destroy enemies although he probably kept his hatred towards the world where music is strictly prohibited deep inside all this time. I mean you just survived the bombing, your partner died on your hands, your right hand is a mess of shrapnel and flesh and after all of that you are suddenly a complete package of bringing good to the world. The transformation scene by itself was great, hell, everything was animated so well from the very beginning, especially all the antics of Cosette, so the world that we were presented with felt so real. For a long time I have not received such pleasure from a single episode, and even more so I was so keen on the process. |

| >a origin stories in the second chapter. >boys meet girl >eschewing all the fun and over the top action for a whole episode of sappy drama for a girl we already know gets thrown into the fridge to be robot-icized oh man This show is really bad. Well, not really, at least not totally, but the episode did lay it on ridiculously thick and a lighter touch would have definitely helped things move along a little bit faster and more effectively. It's such a painfully saccharine relationship. Cosette is utterly and completely devoted to him in every way because his music is E V E R Y T H I N G. And she's a quirky manic pixie girl that puts up with his grumpyness because she is just plain perfect in every way. What a tragedy it will be when a random rocket from the sky ruins that. Frankly, the other dynamic is both far more fun and far more real, despite one of them being essentially a robot, simply because it's not so transparently cloying and manipulative. I mean Polyphonica did this better and it was a average show at best and here is nothing special or distinctive. |
 |
| so Cossette is possessed by some ghost or something eh and episode 2 already have drop in animation quality too |
| Watched this right after watching the first episode of Deep Insanity, and man the difference in quality and refinement is just astounding. Sure we get some cgi hands, but I think they did a good job of making it not TOO noticeable. Best moment for me is the transition of the audience clapping to the sound of rain outside while takt was having his... flashback? This is also pretty sad actually, what was essentially his little sister is now just a spiritual entity that took over her body. Anyway I like how the throw you immediately into all the present action in the first episode, but then give you the backstory stuff in the 2nd. Helps the backstory be a bit more effective imo. |

G0j0satarou said: bro imagine mappa and madhouse collaborating just to promote a MOBILE game 😂, I don't think so even if they announced it the same time it's a original work and is going good will wait till 10 episodes to judge this show! Imagine thinking that making a mobile game promotion is some kind of "below me" for big anime studios. Go and check again. This is a promotion, big names on both sides, first episode with big animation moments to catch normies. This whole thing is a big advert. |
 |
| It's rare to see an anime goes hard on music. Well, it's a music genre, so that much is a given. I love classical music, so this show is a massive treat for me. |
 |
| I had to laugh at the shocked reaction Takt had on his face when his precious piano was taken from the garage! XD Either way, this episode was a showcase of what happen in the events prior to the first episode, where Cosette really cared for Takt, despite the sibling bickering between the two of them (Seriously, her smiles in this episode were insanely cute!!!). The piano duet that they played together at the carnival was wholesome and catchy. Sadly, this was where the D2 attacked and essentially killed Cosette, but it awoken the spirit within her charm and, as we seen from the previous episode, she's now a musicart. The OP/ED animations were great, especially in the OP, where it felt like a nice match with the song. Overall, while the story does feel a little predictable, the execution of it so far has been good. I do look forward to some more action next time. =) |
| Great episode! Also fucking pain. Just when Takt was warming up to Cosette. I was expecting for the D2's to come, but that don't make the pain any less. The segue into the OP was pretty clean, I thought it was just another scene but it was the OP lmao. OP is great though, song's a banger and the visuals were great. That scene where Takt was imagining playing Piano in front of crowd with the applause and then transitioning back to reality with the sound of rain pouring was neat. Couldn't help but smile when Takt and Cosette were playing together, of course the banger piece helps. I guess Cosette is like possessed by a musicart, so maybe when this is all over there's a chance for Cosette to come back maybe, I hope. Her transformation was really clean though. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This episode would have been a much better episode 1 than the actual episode 1. |
 |
| So it's been 10 years since the first part of the Flashback (October 14)? How old is Cosette? |
| Oh damn I did NOT expect romance in this. Looks like the themes are a lot deeper than we initially thought—what an interesting backstory. A lot of power dynamics and worldbuilding introduced. I wonder if there'll be any romantic themes in the future? My guess is that they'll have light romance themes, or hint at things. Personally in most cases I'd rather an 'all the way' or 'not at all' approach, but we'll see how it goes. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Its a nice background story of how Takt and Cosette came to be. The two playing the piano together was fun to watch. |
| i have questions . 1- what is the maestro ? 2- what is that stone ? 3- what is the musicart and her work ( or maybe job ) ? |

| Assuming they don’t mess up the ending, this show is going to be a masterpiece in every sense of the word. So cosette that fights with Takt is actually basically a heroic spirit and the real cosette died at the festival. No wonder he wants to kill all the D2 |
 |
| Things were going normally. Suddenly, they were attacked and I don't know where they got that power from and agree to fight the monster... that's weird lol |
 |
| First half was just about some boring piano coomer, but twas nb after they did the duet. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I appreciate the backstory but I’m still unimpressed with this anime as a whole, I like the classical music, everything else is pretty standard, also feels very predictable, I can kinda guess how this is going to turn out, anyways I may drop this eventually. -g- |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, the piano music and performance sure is something. Looks like the show took a dive into a tragic event from the past involving a composer. Destiny seemed cuter in this episode than the previous one. Got to also see some piano playing skills from Takt, which I think is neat. I wonder if we'll see more duo performances between him and Destiny throughout the show. Its kinda remind me of "your lie in april" moment XD. Music also was so good |
