Takt Op. Destiny

Plenty of other commentators have talked about how the characters feel one-dimensional already, so I won't go into that. I found the relationship between characters lacking as well. Takt annoyed me with his constantly critical personality. It's one thing to be an aloof, dark character, but Takt is simply unlikable. Cosette is alright, but Anna feels like an everyman or comic relief character who just serves as transportation.

The plot so far is alright, if a bit obvious. We can already tell that the Symphonica is very shady, and there is evidently corruption in the ranks. I feel like the plot didn't have much emotional weight, ... at least up to this part in the story. I would have preferred it if they were motivated by trying to get Cosette back since it seems like a waste to let that plot point fall by the wayside.

The thing that really made me drop this show is the cliches that I found to be in bad taste. Lenny appears to be gay or bi, and he could have been really awesome representation, especially as a POC. However, he was portrayed in a sort of promiscuous fashion that I felt had homophobic undertones. I was ready to let it go, but then we got Hell, the Musicart who is definitely, overtly sexualized and very uncomfortable to see on screen (or hear). Her insinuation of taking that other Musicart (the one on the train whose name I forget) "by force" feels like a piece of sexist writing to me.

I can't really explain the details of why this show made me uncomfortable, but suffice it to say that it did. I won't condemn this show, as it is only one of the infinite multitude that don't treat those types of characters with respect, but I do wish that it had done better.

Takt Op. Destiny starts very strong with a very intriguing world and interesting characters paired with amazing fights scenes accompanied by a very cool score.

But although the story as well as the characters are full of potential, they do absolutely nothing with it. It honestly feels like the studio realized after the 8th episode: "oh shit, the whole thing has to come to an end in the next 4 episdoes, what do we do now???"
Otherwise I can not understand the thought process behind the "story".
The last 3 episdoes are incredibly rushed, destroying any kind of worldbuilding that they did before. On the ... contrary, every feels so random while no explanaition is given.
By the end I was so confused while wishing that I had never been baited by the pretty animations.

Even if you only care about pretty fight scnenes with some classical music I can only recommend it, if you are really really bored and even then it will be a let down in every way.

I really interested when saw the trailer. I'm be like 'this anime gonna be lit'. It good at 1-3 episode, and it got worse and worse after that. The fight scene is good but the story line kinda boring. My expectations really high. I wait for last episode and hoping it will change my opinion. And see what, destroy my mood and wasting time. Not recommended. This anime like to talk so much and it not really fit with story line. Btw I love episode 1. I give 10/10 for episode 1. Not for other episode. Art style really good. Story too boring. Not enjoyable. ... Stupid and stupid. The character development is Okey for me. I think this anime will be good for who like.to hear people talking for no reason.
