| Hummm, am I reading too much in this Frère Jacques rendition? |
| Another Madhouse episode based on the key/inbetween animators, production desk, and unit directors involved this time, but damn there were a lot of unit directors (5-6) just for this one. Titan and Lenny were cool additions to the cast, and they're straight-out likable as of the first minute. The plot is starting to get real as there are some tidbits here and there about the situation that they're currently in. As far as Takt and Destiny go, looks like they're a special case among Musicarts and Conductors, implying that a life force drain to its Conductor is a very abnormal behavior for a Musicart. I like where this is going. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| So thats how cosette is not anymore herself but destiny to destroy the D2 with music. Lenny and Titan are looking cool and i like titan she is very skillful with her weapon. So destiny is a special one i see. |

I literally can't wrap my head around people who think the plot is lacking. Like, are we even watching the same show? Sorry there weren't enough OP self-insert MCs and comically large boobs being thrust in our faces for you. If y'all don't find the plot interesting, that's fine, everyone has different tastes. But it's objectively a unique premise that we have pretty much never seen in an anime before, and it's being executed phenomenally. Just go back to watching whatever bullshit isekais are out this season and leave the actual artful shows for the adults. |

| I hope it's a copypasta because if you're being serious OMG[/quote] Same. As while I am watching this show as it airs, the other anime types they mentioned are stuff I do watch too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Cosette is still in there somewhere im sure of it |
| I swear, most of the things I see here is Madhouse this, MAPPA that... And then there's me who gives 0 fucks and just cares if it looks good and it did. Action sequence at the start looked fantastic, seemed that Destiny was on a roll there, but when she battled a second time she felt like she was a noob killing D2s for the first time ever XD I do feel sorry for Anna though, having your sister become a whole different person who might not even be considered human at this point. Titan's eyes are fascinating but I have an eary feeling about that duo.. |

| Ya bro destroy my house. I don't care; I'm a stoic badass. Not like the other girl could easily have put it down with a clean shot. Another sketchy writing thing I noticed. Lenny says "here in this country we were starting to gets thing back to normal with no attacks for 4 years" or w/e it was. So why tf is the middle of America a cesspool of D2? Did they already map that out from the attack the happened literally yesterday? |
| Another fairly average episode. I kinda like Titan but the show as a whole just doesn't do anything to hold my interest so time to put it on the shelf. Also minor nitpick but I hate when subtitles translate character's names. Either keep the main girl's name in Japanese or have the seiyuu actually say the English word Destiny. It wouldn't even be out of place since the show is set in America. |
| Another enjoyable episode. I liked Cosette and was saddened to know that she is gone and replaced by Destiny, the musicart. Destiny is intense when it comes to dealing with the D2's. |
 |
That confirms stuff. RIP Cosette... for now. |

| lovee flashy eye shadows in anime chara designs action animation for this episode was great once again, but that seems to be the only thing thats keeping this show to being "good". not really complaining tho its still only the 3rd ep and im still enjoying it soo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ can't wait to see lotte tho, wonder if she'll be a musicart/maestro |
| I'd call this decent episode, though still nothing amazing or exceptional. Certainly better than the last two. Things are actually happening in terms of story, and the pacing felt reasonable. It's a shame the series didn't just start with the last episode. It would have done so much to tighten up the plot and pacing by doing away with the pointless first episode, and just getting right into the characters. There are still problems, though. The actions scenes are pretty boring and feel like uninspired video game cutscenes. Not surprising, given this show is based on a game. Part of the issue with the action is the lack of stakes. Almost every scene aside from a couple exceptions is just a search and destroy "mission," which makes it hard to get invested in the blow-by-blow action. The one good bit of action was when Anna was in danger this episode and Destiny made her appearance, because it felt like the outcome of the combat sort of mattered. That kind of real stakes is needed in an action show devoted to fighting mindless monsters. You need to care a lot more about the main characters than this show has achieved, and you need to care about why they are fighting. "We need to kill all the aliens" gets boring fairly quickly in the absence of some additional context provided by the story. We do get that in a couple scenes, but it is vanishingly brief compared to the total amount of fighting. It wouldn't matter as much if the fight design was exceptional, but that hasn't been the case so far. Compare to the later fights in JJK, for example, and the vast difference in the creativity and gravity of the combat should be apparent. Unfortunately, my biggest issue with the overall premise of the show has only deteriorated: the relationship between the Musicarts and music. I would assume more will happen later to flesh this out, given it is the whole point o the show; but it would've given a much more interesting spin to the combat if there had been an attempt to tie in the musical origins of the Musicarts with their fighting style. As of now, it seems like this amounts to little more than a passive ability to damage the generic-looking aliens, which is hardly an original idea in the spectrum of anime tropes. It's also a shame that they seem to have given up referencing classical music in this episode. Although, given how badly it was done in the previous two episodes, maybe that isn't such a bad thing. Oh, and my impression that this show reminds me of Darling in the Franxx was reinforced with the relvation that Destiny may be consuming Takt's life force. This draws another parallel with Zero Two. I guess fans of that show might enjoy the resemblance, but to me it emphasizes the unoriginal and derivative nature of the story, and does little to dispel the notion that this series was concocted mainly to assist with marketing for the game. |
| Ah, the animation is so amazing. I loved the way they started things off here. Cosette is great but hey, Destiny isn't bad too. |
 |
| I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by this anime so far. There’s nothing worth talking about aside from the good character designs and occasionally impressive animation during a fight scene. Everything else has been very mediocre. |
| The other conductor guy was helpful so Destiny is kinda defective and maybe her taking away or using Takt’s arm when she transforms made it possible for her to sikp most of the process of becoming a musicart |
 |
| Destiny is an abnormal musicart. Hopefully that means Cosette is still alive. |
| Really looks good, don't care about which studio made it. But that's it？Just looks good. |

| Wasn't too impressed with this ep or the one before it, they should have kept going chronologically from the first ep and slowly introduced more of the lore gradually as the journey progressed instead of forcing the backstories down our throats all at once. |

| Am I the only one who thought frame rates kinda lacked during the first halve? Not nitpicking though. |
 |
| Pretty cool action sequence at the beginning. So Cosette, for an unknown reason,has naturally turned into a Musicart named Destiny. I'm guessing that the reason for this is the stone she wears around her neck has some powers realted to Musicarts. And when she uses her powers it takes away some of Takt's life force. Seeing Lenny flirt with Takt was pretty cringe, not gonna lie. Takt's frickin house got destroyed but he gives no fucks about it. There was some plot development in this episode, so it wasn't all that bad. |

theGodde said: We should have spent this episode exploring how Takt and Anna feel about Cosette being replaced by Destiny. Yeah, the way they handled that was really bizarre. Ending one episode on calm, positive tone felt completely inappropriate for where the characters should be in the story at that moment. |
| RIP old cutie cosette and welcome tsundere cosette LOL |
| Even though Lenny said that if you become a musicart, you'll become an entirely new being, I still have hopes that Destiny can turn back to Cosette since she's an abnormal musicart. Pretty good episode, with some sexy animation once again at the beginning there. That explains why they're fine with the festival last episode, since D2's where gone by that time, well until the festival. Somebody probably orchestrated that whole thing and brought back the D2's or something, sus. |
 |
| Whoever Madhouse or MAPPA did this episode, either way it's looks so good. Damn Cosette already gone gone, only her body remains. I like Titan design and her weapon. |
 |
| Lol I can't take Lenny seriously. His musicart is top tier waifu as well |
 |
theGodde said: well if we wanted it to be accurate it should be the German word for destiny Same thing for the japanese viewers isn't it? |
