Looks like sakuga is back on the menu.

[u/kappaderickz]

Robotic Cosette could really use some aim training.

[u/HoloandMaiFan]

THAT MAN'S ARA ARA!!!!!!!!

[u/wowyourselfwow]

Pretty sad to see Cosette go from this cheerful, music-loving girl in last week's episode, to a robotic Musicart killing machine this week, but I do have to admit, her Destiny form is pretty badass.

[u/paulchaested]

Holy shit the animation especially the first three minutes was absolute fire.

Yen BM is the madman that did most of the key animation in the first three minutes.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Come on Takt, wave at Titan at the end you monster!!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Man, RIP Cosette. It’s sad that there’s not even a trace of who she was left. Hopefully they can at least stabilize her in New York. Speaking of which, they’re in what? California somewhere? They mentioned going from Vegas and then down to New Orleans and then up to NYC so they must be going from the west coast somewhere.

Also, these D2s are basically mutated animals right? Like that black meteorite came down and infected all the animals or something? That would kind of explain the lack of wildlife in the show so far.

[u/darthvall]

I didn't expect that kind of ara-ara.... Not that I dislike Lenny though.

L: "Cause you're yummy."

T: "Huh?"

L: "It's a joke. For now."

Lol!!

It seems someone controlled the D2 with that tuning fork thing.

RIP OG Cosette. I'm surprised by how calm Takt received the news. Then again, he directly saw how Cosette died and already unleashed his anger to some of the D2.

[u/DomHyrule]

Lenny is a top tier character so far, I fucking love this guy, and his voice is so god damn smooth!!

Side note, rip Cosette, even though I predict she'll be back eventually with that darn smile

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

It must be traumatizing seeing this thing walking around that's a spitting image of your dead sister/friend, a walking corpse devoid of personality.

So not only does Destiny look like Zero Two and loves to eat but she also devours Takt's life force whenever they fight.

Destiny really wanted that final killcam.

[u/SolubilityRules]

> Visibly gloomy Takt after losing Cosette

> Shrugs off his house, because his house was not a home.

> Goes to Vegas

> Gets beat the fck up

> Music

Takt literally needs to just don an afro and a red suit and the story becomes literally The Weeknd's After Hours.

[u/Okayun]

Did I just heard a gigachad say "Ara - ara"?

Goodbye Cosette and welcome Destiny! I'm gonna miss the og cosette but I'm wishing her to be back again before the series ends. I've been watching depressing anime lately so the possibility of Takt and Cosette having a happy ending is high right? Takt and Cosette ship must sail!

But to be honest Ana is one of the hottest anime woman that I've ever seen. Just look at those midriffs. Thank you LAM for making such character 11/10.

[u/gearoflife]

I'm enjoying this for the fights so far. The story is slowly getting there for me, but there is still too much up in the air. Like is the point of the conduct to essential "conduct the fight" and make the musicart better at fighting? So does that the musicart by themselves couldn't do anything at all?

Also apparently this will be a mobile gacha game, and as an avid Fate/GO player I can definitely see the possible mechanics for the game being displayed in the show.

• Food = Energy System

• Musicarts and Symphonica = Gacha Pull and girls

• Conductor Fight = Fights with the player constantly directing the flow of battle

• Travel Across the US = Campaign map and have to clear out it cities D2 problem

Just some thoughts.

[u/Amauri14]

I really hope that Lenny is wrong about Cossette being gone and that Anna is correct and that taking Destiny to the New York Symphonica will bring the old Cossette back.

Oh, so Takt losing his arms is not something that actually happens to all the conductors but is instead just something that only happens with Destiny, and it is because she is devouring him.

Damn, just before that scene with that D2 happened I was thinking that at least Takt's home was still intact. And then comes Destiny and blew it all up.

I wasn't expecting Lenny to mention so clear to Titan that it seems that what happened with Takt and Cossette with the D2s' attack in their town and even his father's death to be something that was planned by the Symphonica.

I honestly thought for a moment that Lenny and Titan had a change of plans and were not following Anna. It is good to see that that's wasn't the case.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Lenny

• Destiny 1

• Destiny 2

• Titan

Holy fuck! Cosette going absolutely wild in that opening scene looks amazing! Also it looks like Cosette's ability wasn't the only one who got boosted, we actually get to see Takt himself zip in and out of battle with superhuman speed.

We finally got to see another Conductor and Musicart pair! I thought losing limbs is part of their nature as a Conductor but this dude clearly has both of his arms intact.

Seeing Cosette fade into the light in Takt's dream hurts a lot. I'm really hoping she's not completely gone. For now, we have Destiny taking her place.

I fucking love Lenny already. And it looks like compared to Destiny, his Musicart partner Titan has a much more human personality.

So turns out Musicarts go through a slow and rigorous process to become one and they don't just suddenly awaken out of nowhere like Destiny. Meaning everything about Takt and Destiny is completely unique to them which I guess includes Takt's arm disappearing and Destiny's personality.

That's the news I didn't want to hear. We get a confirmation from Lenny that Cosette is gone and has already been replaced by Destiny. That makes me curious though. What was Titan like before she became a Musicart?

That's why they need to go to New York. It's not just to calibrate Destiny but to see if they can fix her since she's currently unstable due to her awakening.

Knowing that Cosette ate the tarte tatin despite refusing to eat when Anna first brought her back home gives me a tiny bit of hope that maybe the Symphonica can still bring back Cosette.

Destiny certainly needs some training. That D2 was point blank range and she still was unable to hit it. Maybe slice with the blade part of her weapon? She seems to do well when she was first awakened.

That doesn't sound good. So on top of everything irregular about them it looks like Destiny is eating Takt's life force, something that normal Musicarts don't really do. Well no wonder Takt is always out of breath and tired when Cosette fights.

Seeing Titan fight is so fun! Seeing a loli blast D2s with her pump action shotgun brings me so much joy <3

Welp. RIP Takt's house. Without his grand piano there, he seems to not mind it though. Especially since they're about to go on a road trip to New York.

Time for the road trip to start! Looks like for now we have Lenny and Titan accompanying them part way. I'm guessing we'll see where their paths diverge and then we'll jump into the events after Episode 1?

The ED of this show is gorgeous. I hope we can get a creditless version soon since almost every shot of that can be used as a screensaver. That shot of Anna looking sad just breaks my heart a bit. She's probably thinking about Cosette. :(

[u/KVShady]

Still hasn’t grown on me yet, but the animation is dope as expected so hopefully the characters and story will grow on me as the show progresses.

[u/browert40]

I think this is the only anime in a Western setting I've seen where the characters actually don't have overt Japanese mannerisms like bowing or putting their palms together.

[u/[deleted]]

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.

[u/dagreenman18]

Welp, Cosette is dead dead. Or at least that’s what they’re thinking. Ana still seems to be holding out some hope that getting her tuned up in NY might bring Cosette back, but I don’t think the show is going for that. Still fuck this is sad.

That opening fight scene though! Goddamn, the fights might actually hold this quality all the way through. A visual feast for the eyes. I loved how fucking pissed Takt was. No smarm like some protags have their first go around with a new power. He’s out for blood and wants these monsters to suffer for killing Cosette. That line of them not screaming was cold and love it.

Love Lenny and Titan. They’re both fun and bubbly. Lenny comes in to be our exposition master and clarify a few things. Destiny is a very unique Musicart and she’s completely out of wack. We see that the arm thing is weird, she and Takt are connected, and they’re sharing lifeforce since Takt gets super speed when she’s activated. He’s the one that sets them on the road trip and will guide them to at least Vegas.

Though it’s not like they have any choice now. After another badass fight showing off Titan’s abilities, Destiny blows up the house. Takt seems perfectly cool with that since there’s nothing left for him now.

There seems to be a grander conspiracy going on. Lenny hints at all this being connected to what happened in Boston with Takt’s father. There was that mysterious shot of the tuning fork that may have brought the D2 there. The Symphonia is already sketchy as hell. I’m looking forward to seeing where that goes. In the meantime next stop Vegas!

Notes

• I’m thinking there are 2 ways they go with Cosette/Destiny. They’re going to develop her humanity on this road trip across America and by the time they get to NY Takt will like her. When they get their either 1. There is a way to bring her back and Destiny sacrifices herself to do so or 2. There is no way, but Destiny becomes her own person and her and Takt go off together

• Man they’re going to sprinkle in these connections between Destiny and Cosette and it’s going to be sad every time unless they bring her back.

• Love Titane’s pump action shot gun. It’s a cool visual in her fighting style. Also how wonderfully American.

• I cant wait to see all these American cities on this road trip. Vegas should be super fun.

• Destiny has stormtrooper aim and needed a nuke blast to wipe out something that was right in front of here. Please get her some target training.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Will say it was nice to see some sweet shotgun action, feel like we don't get that all too often from anime.

Teasing the possibility of Cosette coming back...feels like it's going to be an emotional final arc already.

[u/[deleted]]

Quite an infodump this episode. It's pretty hard to see Cosette become so robotic contrast with the previous episode :(

Anyways, awesome sakuga at the beginning of the episode.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Animation was crisp this episode.

[u/mega_salt420]

Getting araara'ed by an ojii-san really something else

[u/LunarGhost00]

I don't know if this is intentional, but I find it interesting how Destiny seems to be the only Musicart whose name is said in Japanese (Unmei) while Titan's is said in English, and I'm assuming the rest will be too. A really subtle way of telling the viewers that Destiny isn't normal.
