| Yea fight scenes were nice lol. I liked the animation for sure, but that is all that has sold me so far. Takt has mad piano skills too lol. Also the characters are a little goofier than I thought they'd be. Plus the setting is more western than I thought even though the KV is a thing. |
| The music they used for this episode definitely stands out, with the orchestra and noticable beats. The artwork looks pretty good for show imo, especially the chereography. Speaking of artwork, I find it kinda amusing how they used a cartoony-like art style for one of the narrative scenes. Key characters introduced includes Takt and Destiny while others like Anna also showed up. Looks like a fun show imo. |

Let's see an Anime made by Mappa x Madhouse, will it be interesting? Destiny is so cute, and her red costume suits her so well, and she eats all the time, lmao. The animation is really good and it looks like D2 has different sizes. I love the way Anna says "shut up". Takt is very good at playing the piano. The first episode was pretty good. |

| Be sure to play me someday Begins with a prologue, the night when the stars fall in the sky. Beautiful shining stone and I fell in the beauty of the stone, more or less like that, rip Japan language, xD. Okay back to the prologue, The stone has a mysterious power that no one knows about. Someone investigated the stone, it would take years, not even years to investigate. Until all living things, animals, plants, and humans really messed with that stone. the person asks will this be ruined? is all this over, that's the prologue, just want to convey the prologue because this prologue is very important at the beginning, hmmm... It had been four years since Zaagan's declaration, playing music is taboo but yeah, this boy too brave enough, Paino? Hhmm.. Takt Asahina, the protagonist who plays the piano, The monster attacks and momentarily when Takt plays the piano. Raised a stick and the hand actually became a white-haired blood-red girl, it was Unmei. The girl fought the monsters and with the accompaniment of a melody chanting, The monster was defeated. September 3, 2047. The three of them are on their way, in the vast desert. They are looking for a Good Food Dinner, some eating scenes and manga panels, Action scenes between monsters and Unmei happening, somehow I like the effect of the roses. Whether it's a rose, I also don't know clearly Unmei is so beautiful, really... I like this art and Chara design 10/10 for graphic. Most of these dialogues are full of harmonic words, melodies, and also music. I think it's quite hard to understand, yeah it's like playing vn Sakura no Uta who has to understand art to be able to understand the meaning of the story'. Night falls and the fight ensues, as Takt plays the piano the fight will ensue. The action scenes are good, as I said above, an art are masterpiece. The scene of Takt and Unmei reaching out was also good. Ma, it's not bad to start with, I like the graphics but not the story' because it's too hard.  |
| Dang, TV Tokyo is banging seasonals this Fall with this and Komi-san under their brand new "Anime Zone" programming block./ https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2021-09-07/tv-tokyo-reorganizes-launches-new-anime-programming-block-in-october/.177097 https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2021/09/07-2/komi-cant-communicate-takt-opdestiny-headline-new-anime-zone-block-on-tv-tokyo-in-october For a start, you can't really tell that it's the dream team co-production of powerhouses MAPPA and Madhouse, that is until the action parts arrive on scene with MCs Takt Asahina (the Conductor maestro) and his "Musicart" Destiny, especially with its strong musical roots and themes. IDK if people living in Japan watching this will be excited to play the soon-to-be-released mobile game by Bandai Namco and DeNA, but time will tell. Another futuristic dystopian America that looks like 19th Century Wild West, where grotesque monsters dubbed D2 have ruined the world, and these Conductors and women Musicarts like the Takt-Destiny duo are the solution to that problem. The character dynamics between both and Anna does hint some hilarity, but the execution is kinda iffy while setting up the events to come (which will be just like the mobile game that comes after the anime). Not bad, but I want more, and I'm in for this exciting journey of using music as a form of weaponry while travelling on the way to New York. Kinda rings a bell to a certain Listeners which did something similar to this. Ryo (supercell) feat. Mafumafu, gaku's OP is good, no question about it. If anything, watch this show because of the MAPPA X Madhouse collab, but let the story and plot take shape first before deciding any farther. |

| Well, it seems like one of the most talked-about shows in this season is finally here. No one knows what this is about other than the synopsis but just because it has the name of two of the biggest animation giants Madhouse and MAPPA coming together makes the hype worth it. Well, what have they brought to the table? Let's see... The first impressions of the show are just as I expected. Godly animation with let's see a musical plot that takes place in 2047. One thing that I'm probably gonna look at the most other than the story itself is Music since the whole theme of the show is based on Music and me being a music nerd needs something to bless my ears just like my eyes is being blessed. Ike Yoshihiro has a pretty good background in music, so my expectations are quite high from him. As in anime, Takt is so good with his piano skills. So, yeah we have to defeat these D2 monsters with the help of music. Pretty straightforward. The characters are pretty interesting as well. The OP is so damn good. |
 |
| Ok now, i don't want to sound like a doomer, but i will. The only thing this first episode shown us was its audio-visual and production quality, the story was given to us as generic as it can be. Some aliens atacking earth, and only a few chosen ones can save us, like ive seen the same synopsis many times already but with naked girls instead ... The characters are as shiny and sparkly as you can expect too (cute kuudere loli eating biscuits ? Really ? Is that all you got ? Come on ...). And the dudes name really is "Takt", another anime that i'll watch every week and this name will threw me off a little bit every time i hear it. But its actually very fitting name for him. Also why is "Destiny's" name translated into english, but Takt is not ? Somone in MAL database felt especially smart this morning. This is one of those shows that youll stick with because of its form and nothing else. At least it seems that way. |
 |
| Damn the animation is too good to handle for a regular tv show |
| The most dangerous irony is, people are angry with others because of their own incompetence |
| “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” Music should not be banned wherever it is. The concept of fighting an alien by using music in a dystopian America is very interesting. I really love the design of Destiny fighting form. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Fighting with music does seem something out of ordinary. We got introduced to the main pair, Takt and Destiny working as Conductor and Musicart and fighting those monsters D2. Well the setting's in 2047 America, and looks like they want to travel to New York as soon as possible with another person Anna being part of their company too. Fighting scenes were something what was already expected from MAPPA, and truly some of those scenes were breathtaking. Looking interesting with the hopes of many fights yet to come. OP too was decent. |
 |
| Mappa and Madhouse collab? That's a rather killer combo... And it shows; very good and high level of animation. So far it's still a mystery, telling what the anime is all about..from the Synopsis and this episode alone. But it seems to be focused on music..Curious to see how this is going to pan out |
 |
| Was quite excited for this as this is a collab work between two top tier studios and I wasn't disappointed. The setting is quite unique yet generic but I like it. The action sequence and animation were really cool. Specially that final fight was sick. Liked the interactions between Destiny and Takt, both of them are amusing. Destiny's so cute and adorable. Anna's kind of annoying thou. Pretty good premise, looking forward to more. |
 |
| Looks decent but it's definitely not MAPPA's best efforts visually compared to the standards I think they've tried to set in the past couple years, rest of the episode didn't do much for me with the premise and the characters. I can see why it might be popular, but the story and characters leaves a lot to be desired so far. Heard there's a game or something related to this series too? |
| This episode was done at madhouse! The action scenes were honestly incredible, great work by the entire staff. The story still hasnt sold me yet, but this was obviously an episode focused more on the fighting, so i imagine that next episode we will get an episode actually explaining what the hell is going on. I do have to say that the characters do have quite a lot of chemistry, so im fairly hopeful right now, hoping for good stuff. |
| Nice action and very interesting, I like it. That flashback was also very interesting. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that something bad happened to Destiny but there was something or someone there that brought her back and made her a Musicart and making Takt her conductor since they were together when that "something" bad happened, but we're definitely missing something since it was just a glimpse. This first episode was pretty cool. |

| This is a lot similar to Listeners from last year which also was an original anime from MAPPA. It was quite meh but I hope this one doesn't end up like that. Luckily Madhouse is onboard this time so I'm hopeful. Though one thing bothered me is that how Anna was emphasizing the fact that the road to new york is really long and it will take a long time to reach there. Even the KV has the road and car in it with the characters. Makes it feel like this will just be a journey the entire season and they will finally reach the city at the end of the season. I don't know how interesting they will be able to make things if it's just going to be on the road the entire time. Maybe they going to focus on themes like meeting people and such. |
 |
| I love the design from destiny and bro the animation is fire. Also interesting setting. She needs more calories that they can fight better. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| nice action, great opening song. Story is expected. Don't really like the duo's chemistry, but let's see the character development later. |
| Current favourite ships: - Chika x Satowa (Kono Oto Tomare) - Shin x Lena (86) - Vanitas x Jeanne (Vanitas no Carte) |
| Reminds me of Listeners but with a good animation, still got bored 80% of the episodes, only the fights scenes were worth it |
 |
| This looks interesting. Characters, animation are all pretty good. The story is a bit similar to Vivy but that's it. Also an original anime. The fight scenes were insanely dope. This just reminds me of Fate series. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Lol, the amount of Cosette saying she needs more calories is pretty funny for me. Airhead and glutton. |
 |
| Tbh, I'm not really looking forward to this show. It seems too action-driven (and explosives?), but action in the sense of fighting random monsters, therefore a lack of character growth or any plot apart from fighting stuff. I at least like that Madhouse is going for pretty individualistic anime. I'm really looking forward to Hakozume. Also, Mafumafu? <3 |
 |
| The quality of animation is mind blowing. The soundtrack is great as well. I hope it won't disappoint. |
| Pretty good first episode not much happend tho aside from Fire animations and funny character interactions , Im looking forward to see more |
| Fun Things Are Fun - Yui Hirasawa |
| It's a fine start. The animation and music are excellent, with the main duo being sort of sub-par characters so far, which is to be expected of a gacha game tie-in, I suppose. There's room for growth. Anna is a fun character. Really like her energy. |
| I dunno what I was expecting going into this, but I feel like the story and characters have come off as very forced. I'm already kind of tired of Cosette. Granted -- it's only the first episode. So, maybe my pessimisim should wait another week to see if we get any world-building and development in episode 2. Maybe this week was just all about flexing with sound and visuals? Either way, the visuals and sound are very stunning. So, at least there is that. And, good or bad, I plan to stick around for the whole thing. Here's hoping it ends up being pretty good though. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| The whole thing felt like movie-grade for some reason, it takes me back when Rage of Bahamut was new. CGI's above-average, the music is very good and definitely delivers, and the visual direction's pretty awesome with the framing and composition pretty much spot-on. The story's fine so far, and the interactions were pretty interesting to the point that I want to see more of it. I'd like to see more of this. Looking at the end credits, the pilot's storyboard was done by UBW's director, with animators mostly from Madhouse and few freelancers such as Kazuhiro Miwa doing the keys. Inbetweens were done in-house by Madhouse's team, while MAPPA's involvement in this episode was more on the CGI side with V-sign. No wonder the quality of this episode's pretty solid. This is definitely a Madhouse episode in and out. Now I'm more interested to see whether or not the next episode will be from MAPPA so that we can see if there will be any differences. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| The characters seem cool. You can't play music, an interesting concept. Amazing fight scenes and amazing music, just hope the story is great enough to not hold these two elements back. The OP already blows me away. |

| Seems better than Listeners so far. Just hope this doesn't go down hill super fast. |
