Today featuring: Takt Op Destiny
First and important to know: Yes, there are many battle waifus. You might enjoy it or find it to be annoying. Yes, the show is based upon an upcoming gacha game, should you have prejudices because of that. No.
The three protagonists have a really weird relationship that's hard to read. If you compare the protagonists with food they would be a microwave heated slice of pizza. It tastes dreadful yet you still somehow liked it because it's pizza. Once you have chewed the first bite you know you should have either just eaten it cold, thrown it away, or made the effort to heat it up in the oven. Make up your mind about that analogy if you wish or trust that feeling I build up inside yourself because we can all relate to eating microwave pizza.
The antagonist(s) are batshit stupid the definition of bad villains no further explanation is needed. They literally made some episodes almost unwatchable.
The world is just un-immersive. It's a superficially explained setting that is torn between picturing a post-apocalyptic hazard and a lively routined civilization. At first, the storyline is rather weak and ungarnished but eventually picks up some depth and pace. On its way to the climax, the story shifts into unreasonable unexplainable absurdity. Much like and in connection with the appearance of antagonists.
The battle scenes look gorgeous they are impactful and dynamic. All in combination with great sfx. The Cinematography outside battle is ok'ish. Really plain and basic without a sense of depth. The background art is genuinely nice.
There is little connection between the musical theme with the narrative and the fighting mechanics.
The music composition is extraordinary making one of the best anime led by classic orchestral music.
Recomendation?: It's worthwhile for the fantastic OST and the good action scenes. The first few episodes are a bit tough to get through. The amount of action makes it up for that though. The musical direction gets better and better albeit in the end you will be frustrated again because the plot gets so out of touch with common sense.
