I really like this anime, the animation is beautiful(how can it not be with those studios behind it)
I like that it's showing more back story for each character.
I wonder how Takt and density will work together, especially if density is eating takt life away for energy in battle.

I liked this chapter, it showed that the plot is getting serious and that all are not moments of happy reflection with the music, I like that they read their time in pantaña for the most composers not only throwing information at the protagonist or only appearing in the vatalla, in the music they show a rich variety, we hope they continue like this and I found it interesting the couple of Lenny and Titan will surely be the second most popular couple of the program

I'm really not a fan of this show's Engrish. It’s inconsistent. Why's Cossette's musicart name 'Destiny' not spelled or pronounced like in English but in Japanese (Unmei)? Most people probably aren't bothered by this but it bothers me. I also don't find Anna's "shuddup" and Titan's maestro's "it’s showtime!" cute but cringe as hell (and not in a good way like in some other anime).

Hmmm...
Here it is the 3 episode rules now complete.
Dayum I wish I liked this show but...
Characters are really bland, and outside actions's animation, their facial expression are like... CGI.
Like Titan had just one expression during her fight ? just a flat smile without anything else.
Same for others characters their expressions are really missing.
Design are good, but as far as I saw that's just it.

So this is how it all started, huh? Genki Cosette is gone and now we have Kuudere Destiny for most likely the rest of the season.

Overall, another episode of impressive animation but with little-to-no substance. Takt suffers from Destiny using his vital energy to fight yet he didn't even flinch when she used a notoriously big amount of that energy to blow up his house and though Lenny said the country was free of active D2s, we were later shown a map of the country featuring lots of red zones infested of D2s.

Alright episode.

Obviously, the animation is top notch, but the story has not caught my interest yet. I think it's painstakingly obvious that this show (or the mobile game that it's promoting) is trying to be like FGO. The whole system of Musicart and Maestro is the same as the Servant/Master system. A little bit more originality from here on out would be appreciated.

Also, if music is a big theme of this show, I would hope they would do a better job with the BGM. BGMs hasn't been bad, but I've not been impressed by it either.

The action scenes gets pretty old and predictable right after 2 episodes but ngl, episode 1's choreography was phenomenal to my eyes. And with all the information dump we got from this episode, seems like they're gonna rush the story.
How did they got over with Cosette's death so easily? And Takt never even felt anything, That's some lazy ass character writing.
Destiny would make quite a good antagonist but I HATE her so much and I have a feeling that she'll eventually possess Takt during the final arc. of this season.
The Anime also doesn't seem to know what it's going for, A road trip? Action? Music? What? This literally feels like all different ideas are just being thrown into one single series.
And yeah, seems like my prediction(before the series even started) would turn out to be right. This will turn out to be a massive disappointment.

Good episode. They're introducing more conflict to the story and I like it. Takt went from a whiny brat to a responsible kid with a goal, but is still arrogant. I like his character a lot. We'll see how this journey ends.

Well Cosette is gone now and Destiny will be taking over her

Another pair arrived before the brink of their death, Lenny has a good figure I must say he's been maintaining that body of his, and Titan is just as cute as Cosette if not she's cuter especially her eyes it looks celestial

Takt needed to control Destiny for them to fight consistently and effectively, I wonder how things would go out from here, Still, a bit confusing with two studious working together for an anime but more or less it's still amazing to watch.

so even Destiny is an irregular Musicart meaning Takt can use her beyond limits in exchange of his life force...hmmm sounds okayish? i hope they could explore more of this partners thing battling with D2s whatever that kind of monstrosity it is...

Destiny is an unsynchronised weapon now... at least she and Takt are mostly on the same page even if Takt is paying life energy for the fights. Takt quickly came to his senses and realized the new reality, culminating in the destruction of his father's house. The hope is to set Destiny's parameters for everyone's propitiation and Anna for sure hopes that little Cosette will awaken for some precious little time. Lenny and Titan are a cool versed duo, it's good that they're helping our squad to navigate through new objectives.

Am I the only one getting Darling in the FranXX vibes from this anime? The fact that musicarts fight in pairs and Destiny draining Takt's life force reminds me of ZeroTwo and Hiro during the first arc. The D2's and the klaxosaurs behave in very similar ways, and in both anime people highlight that "something looks weird" about how this creatures are grouping, hinting that the situation will get worse in the future. I really hope that i'm wrong and this will not become a better quality copy-paste of the DitF plot with some minor changes. Anyways, the episode was quite enjoyable.

Wow lots of people are not happy about this anime right now, (#3 most popular of Fall 2021, there's the MAPPA x MADHOUSE tag, anitubers/anitweeters influences, it actually looks cool but let's be salty about it like others) I wonder why...

Well I'm still reeling from Episode 2, but this episode is alright as well...yeah about that. I'm wondering why the bgm was so weak in Takt and Destiny's first fight together, it feels undercooked. Also getting into action IMMEDIATELY does NOT subvert me lol. But those are the only things I can nitpick really, because this ep was atleast nice. (Ooh do I see Hell there???)

Titan looks so beautiful and really flashy in the colors department, Lenny...is alright. The waifu looks amazing with her gun, now I'm imagining if Destiny, Titan, and others can be introduced in Mobile Legends as playable characters, because why not?! Also I feel sad for Anna, Cosette is gone but everyone (even Takt) had moved on so fast, but still you gotta feel for her. And with that said, like SBR and Appare-Ranman!, the trio are going to New York City albeit in an alternative route, the SOUTHERN way. I am very interested on how they will lay out this story.

Disappointment of the season for me. Looks so nice, but it is so terrible apart from the action scenes. Ep 1 was God tier awesome, but it just seems to be getting worse and worse since then.. ALL of the characters are unlikable, are they trying to make them annoying as possible? Apart from the real Cosette (who died anyway)...all of the characters are plain irritating and I can't even finish the episodes without skipping the awful character banter. These are easily some of worse main characters I've ever seen in anime this year. Probably gonna drop if E4 is lowering the bar even more.

Alright episode, glad to see us jumping back into action with full force again.

Some of the dialogue for exposition was painfully generic, but I suppose every series has to start somewhere.

I can at least appreciate that our main duo isn't over powered right off the bat, and is in fact worse than everyone else.

A normal episode. I didn't really like Takt at the first episode, but after watching the two episodes, he is not that bad.
Maybe the necklace that Cosette's wearing is from the meteorite...

Interesting episode, Lenny and Titan are introduced are also Conduct/Symphony guys to eliminate the D2, I was hoping more would join on their journey, mostly cause I don’t think, Takt and Destiny would survive by themselves, I’m glad they at least have some help. Lenny and Titan kicked ass in this episode

I’m also sad by Destiny just abusing Takt’s energy and is no longer the smiling Cosette but in a somewhat “inactive” state…

Couldn't have said it better myself. I had high expectations with such powerhouse studios but man is this show all flash no substance. Plus even the "flash" is few and far between and the rest is info-dump exposition just like far away paladin.

I need to rewatch second episode because now I am so unsure about many things.

Do we know what country is their starting point? I somehow didn't realise they are in USA, but their first goal is Las Vegas so they can't be that far away from there.

Was stone Cosette was wearing in EP2 Harmonia Ore? And it responded to live music so a moment when D2 attacked and there was empty body, Musicart from stone was able to take over? That's pretty grim, that she had it on her all this time and stone was just waiting for her to die to take over.
Maybe someone planted it on her just in case something ever happened.

But it all seems fishy, like those big shots from Symphonia who stopped to hear piano and then went away just before all this mayhem.

Another thing, they mentioned Maestro/Conductor from 10y ago. Is it one from beginning of EP2? That guy is Father of Takt right?

There seems to be so many things going on background, it will be fun to rewatch and binge whole show when it is finished releasing.

I liked this episode. It was better than the first one. I like that they're giving some backstory now so we can try and understand the characters and actually care for them. The animation is nice but the story isn't actually that good. But I will keep watching because it keeps getting interesting. I care more about the interaction between the characters that the fight scenes.

So the reason they had outdoor music activities was because D-2s were supposedly gone for some time, okay. I along several others commented why was that permitted in the first place haha

That scene of Takt being surprised that his arm was suddenly gone (aka Destiny going on fight mode) stood out to me. She doesn't need her conductor but her being reckless is draining him. And that last attack was really too much ^^; Cosette is supposedly dead so being 'treated' would likely just make her stable than get her former self back. Unless??? Anyhow I wonder about the other Musicarts (if there was an official process they were willing subjects or smth?)

Yay for Titan in action! I was looking forward to her appearance

There's not much blatantly wrong with the plot and the dialogue. It's mostly smooth and well drilled.
Problem is it's also the absolute safest humanly possible, which makes it bland.

They really crammed all artistic merit into the visuals.

I do put more value onto the visuals compared to most on here, so I still think this is more than enough to watch. After all it's just bland, nothing is offensively bad. Yet.

So, Destiny is an irregular Musicart and that's why Takt's energy is drained during the fights. I like Lenny and Titan.

Good ep, some explanations on Musicart and conductors as well as introduction to Lenny and Titan. Some action at the start, but it seems that someone is behind the scenes and purposely causing D2 attacks.

So Takt and Destiny seem to have special case between them, from Cosette's change into a Musicart without supervision, to her being in a sleep mode of sorts, to straight up taking Takt arm and using his very life essence, it's without saying that they need to figure out what's happening

Ngl, Takt is taking all of this really well. I rate it if he's already excepted the situation he's in, but considering the end of ep2, i'd hop he'd show some shreds of emotions or sadness, cus i can really sympathise for Anne rn. I will say, him letting Destiny blow his house up and saying "There was nothing left here anyway" felt like a good way of showing that he's ready to move on with his life and past.
