Takt Op. Destiny is a promotional anime for a (hitherto) upcoming gacha game under the same name and it certainly doesn't try to hide it. Meaningful lore and character expositions are almost completely avoided for what I can only assume is the sake of avoiding spoilers for the actual game. However sparse, there is some degree of characterisation. So long as you get into the anime expecting little more than a prelude to the full story, incredible acoustically-recorded performances of real-life classical and jazz classics, awesome MAPPA x Madhouse visuals (that are, granted, a little inconsistent); it's really not as bad as some are making it out to be and quite enjoyable - especially if you're a classical/jazz nerd.
The story can be summarised as "main characters make pit-stops along a car trip to Houston to fend off D2s and meet other Conductors and Musicarts for an episode or two before continuing on their journey." It seems to focus more on establishing the post-apocalyptic setting and the overall mood whilst introducing the audience to some major characters and their respective standings with the main roster instead of exploring the narrative in full; and at that, it does a decent enough job.
Also the OP is pretty fucking good and features legends ryo (supercell) x まふまふ.
Double also, Takt is kinda hot.
