LOL, so this antagonists true aim is the cutter cutter "the chosen will live, the other trash will die" type scenario? Had a good laugh there.

It seems Destiny likes Takt playing the piano so much that she went out and found a "similar" instrument, what a Piano Chad Takt is.

a very good episode, it was finally shown that schindler and hell were the masterminds of it all.
next week's episode will start the war, hopefully MAPPA animates it well without any mistakes.

seven episodes in and we finally got some development with Destiny as a person, and how the cast feel about her.
this does not redeem the show, as it's already too late for this foundational development to matter much, but it's a step in the right direction.

As for Destiny's character progression, I find it to be once again completely unearned and abrupt. We were given no previous setup for Destiny caring about other humans outside of her role, and her humour has evolved far beyond what was set up previously to the point where she just feels like a less interesting normal person. All her major development has occurred offscreen and that is an insult to her character. Don't say "I'm more evolved now I can make jokes", show her learning how to make jokes, or have her make a joke for the first time and the characters point it out.

This is ruined once again by the terrible antagonist. So his plan is to reduce the population to reduce consumption rate, despite the fact that I've seen no evidence thus far to justify why reducing the population would fix this issue. So far any town that can raise and sustain crops has thrived, and so it is the D2s themselves that are interfering with production. He is actively working against his stated goals by raising up D2s.
So not only is he my least favourite kind of villain (an unthreatening pathetic manchild) but he is also nonsensical, stupid, and contrived.

As per usual the dialogue itself sucks ass "oh no the bullets aren't working these D2s"
why do they still use bullets? They should know about this by know. As we heard from the start of the episode, the D2s have been in these mountainous areas for quite some time. And if they're using the bullets just to stall them then why are they complaining? An entire can of worms opened up by one shitty line of dialogue - this is why good dialogue matters.

Takt-kun is facing separation anxiety cause he can't be without a piano for long. He WANTS to tap the piano:'(

FINALLY story progression. (it was predictable though). That wussie villain doesn't realise that the towns are actually self-sufficient enough and he goes off his high horse trying to reduce population to reduce consumption. Why did they have to make the villain SO one-dimensional and dumb.

Destiny has started showing some more emotions now which is good to see.

Hah, I knew it the uniform guy (blonde dude) was an antagonist from the 1st episode... His personality is so easy to read, but never knew he is the caused of Cosette death though.
I like that Destiny started to gain more personality, guess Cosette will might back soon..
I guess that Titan and Lenny will help Cosette with Takt fight on next episode...

Destiny's development or I guess you can say regression back to Cosette is definitely my favorite part of the show, but besides that, everything else feels underwhelming. I like how Destiny is more worried about Takt now, instead of just going straight to the D2's without a care in the world like she does before.

Schindler is the one controlling the D2's to no one's surprise, and he's a low budget Thanos to boot. I mean there's nothing wrong with that, the execution just feels eh.

Wow so u found the flaw in it nice .
It must be very hard to waste your whole life to find some flaw in 2d anime which was for something less than 2sec and saying animator’s lazy who works for hours making it .
Can’t appreciate the show drop it and are u guys solely living for nitpicking just this shows animation from point to point licking everything .
I have seen many obvious evil guys from the start of first ep from many anime . So don’t make a big fuss out of it .

This is a seriously poorly written villain. Genuinely, where does his hatred of Takt come from? He's essentially just minding his own business, and not getting in the way of his plans. Takt wouldn't have even known he was a bad guy without him monologuing about his nefarious plans.

I'm fine with villains who are just evil for the sake of being evil, but this guy is just evil for the sake of being stupid.

Well all villains have their backstory this creepy blonde should also having his backstory. Well we will know soon is it stupid to make him villain or not . From my point till now he is just having a crazy fetish over Grand maestro Sagan and a narcissistic

Lol obvious villain is obvious. Power hungry and egotistical who loves/worships the Grand Maestro. Anyway, Hell's power is cool.

Nice to see Destiny growing and becoming more like a human/Corsette.

Unmei's acting more like a human now with interactions that doesn’t involve D2 or overeating. But her voice is still monotone. I think this development is an improvement but she still has a long way to go.
The guy from episode 1 was the evil mastermind all along. Who would've thought.

Alright episode.

One thing that confuses me about the setting is that, is "music" banned/frowned upon in this world? I assumed so, with the secret jazz bar and others, but then the motel just renting Takt a piano harmonica without questioning felt a little odd.

The identity crisis of Cosette vs Unmei was well done and hopefully will continue to be one of the focal points of the show.

The obvious villain being an obvious and generic villain was kind of disappointing, but I guess I can't ask for too much.

only good thing about this up to this point is seeing destiny's growth and if it's related to her past life..meanwhile Taki hasn't...

this reveal of the villain is the worst kind of didn't expect them not because it was shocking because they had us fool it's that he's so lame you'd think it'd be someone with better motives than i hate the poor only the strong should live also i hate the MC just for whatever reasons
disappointed in hell actually going along with it

My reaction to this whole episode in a nutshell: <i>Bruh...</i>

I am kind of surprised this of all shows gets away with contrived writing. I am lying, I ain't surprised one bit. It's made by MAPPA and Madhouse so it has to be the best thing of all time. This episode confirmed to me the writing is as bad as Listeners only Listeners was ironically entertaining from the beginning. Takt.op Destiny is going down on my list as the most boring show I've watched this year and now one of the most enervating ones.

Those eye bags are growing on Takt, Holy based Cosette just snapped his neck I mean I didn't expect that but still better than Anna going insane

Destiny is changing recently she's showing some emotions compared to being stoic before, God damn it Destiny eat before you speak that got me there off guard

You know it's murica if they try to solve everything with guns, And swearing and Jesus, So the action will have to wait here, guessing from her reactions she's going to develop her personality in the future well I would like to hope so.

I remembered this clip from that restaurant scene with Destiny

One thing about this episode I thought was interesting and I didn't see anyone really commenting on. I highly doubt the Grand Maestro is letting Takt go from the kindness of his heart. There's something about how Takt and Destiny got their powers he's interested in and I will not be surprised in the least to find out he's the ultimate villain.

I wish there was more episodes focusing on character interactions like this one, instead of the post-apocaliptic/D2 stuff, its way more fun to watch and interesting.

Also uh, about the one-dimesional villian guy, it would be nice if the show bothered to actually show some of this resource shortage hes talking all about as a real problem we can see and relate with, instead of just throwing it as an excuse for his insane behaviour. It feels like a really forced conflict between the two characters.

Blonde guy is probably the lamest antagonist I’ve seen in my life. Extremely predictable with an ideology that makes no sense. The reveal that him and the girl are responsible for all the D2 summons was done so lazy it’s almost like this entire anime is just half a page of writing just stretched out into 7 episodes (so far) I can almost guarantee the guy they met a couple episodes is going to show up for support super conveniently. This entire episode felt rushed- even the Destiny “development” which seems like it was all offscreen because I’m just as confused as Takt when he’s wondering “when tf did she start caring about humans”

Destiny’s “development” is even more rushed😂 We are just confused as the MC to realize we barely seen any on screen development. Wow she told a joke the last episode. When tf did she start helping people or giving signs that she gives a damn about humans. All that she ever does on screen his talk about D2’s and insult Takt. She almost broke his neck in this episode too.

Suuuper lazy, he just blurted out everything Takt needed to know for no reason whatsoever, hahaha. We needed to provoke the protagonist somehow, might as well make the villain reveal he's behind Cosette's death unprompted, how else would we do it, right? The writers really have no idea what the hell they're doing.

as much as Destiny has been progressing, can they even dream of beating the commander , specially while he has not only Hell, who literally sliced the giant d2 last time, but also an army of d2s to assist him ... while Takt is literally sleep deprived and turning red (and probably didn't eat much either)

wonder if they will actually win, or if Titan or someone else (maybe even Valkyrie or whatever was her name, the girl from the train, will come save them

either way, to me, it seems like too much of an asspull considering what i said before, that they can even think about winning


also... just remembered them talking about Destiny not resisting long enough to get to the place that will help her (was it Los Angeles?), yet now she has no problems with fighting

At this point I have become so detached that I don't even care that we've got some actual development.

The antagonist is just so terrible. Such a played out concept as many others have said, and he's a fucking loser. If he ever had a drink he'd immediately go on a rant about hating the poor and weird out everyone in the room.

People like him who have a hatred for the poor and impoverished obviously exist, but he's so terrible at hiding his true self that I can't imagine anyone would ever have trusted him enough to let him get to his position. He's written like an edgelord teenager would imagine themselves.

Imagining any of these characters in real life (with the exception of Anna) I would regard them as being awful and intolerable.

Well, in any case, this show is a bit shit isn't it? It's worn out any warmth that I had for it based on the art direction and music at the beginning.

I really thought Destiny was going to give Takt a hug lol. Little did I know she was trying to knock him out. This is by far the most interesting episode of the show. I was starting to get annoyed with how slow things were moving, but we get quite the development in this episode. Looking at how they only have a few episodes left, I think they'll have to pick up the pace to wrap the story up.

Jeeeezus.

Now I will always twirl my interlocutor's neck before a heart-to-heart conversation, I think this is a great pedagogical technique. In other news — Takt has a creative crisis and got under the evil eye of a powerful enemy (as expected). Yes, these composers are so vulnerable... I can assume that according to the clichéd canons, the symphony written by Takt will put an end to the rule of enemies on Earth.

Cosette has become so independent, you are already amazed, here it is, the positive effect of glucose on the growing body. Anna, as always, is inimitable in the role of the mistress of the hearth (she also is a specialist in in rich facial expressions in this anime). Poor Tact now knows the full power of half-hints. Destiny asks the right questions but they are too intimate (cuts like a knife), but the most importatnt thing is the group still intact.



Wow, how unexpected is Commander Schindler controlling electric rams with an artifact and a psycho nich Hell (rhethorical question)? Wait, I should've guessed it by myself that happy future world is not for everyone and therefore it is so bitter that we will see such a future with our own eyes. Let's go Takt and Destiny you gotta kick this God wannabe's ass, even if it doesn't change anything about the position of the renegades on the other side of the screen.
