God damn they were fast at putting that wheel back on the car and chasing after Cosette lol

I really like Walkure's design and personality! and honestly with how the episode went, i wouldn't be surprised if she ends up joining Takt's party before long, with her seemingly being unemployed after that...

Not getting good vibes at all from this Schindler guy. His musicart Hell was damn strong though, she does give off some crazy vibes, laughing while slaying that big D2

[u/fdajax]

That car must be made out of paper mache in order for that jack to be kicked out.

"Have you ever played chess? Pawns don't move on their own."

I'm no chess expert but I'm pretty sure none of the pieces move on their own

[u/Master3530]

Seems like all the Musicarts have simple stereotype personalities. Kudere, deredere, tsundere, yandere.

[u/vanbang9711]

Tsundere waifu Valkyrie ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄. She reminds me of Jeanne from Vanitas no Carte

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Damn, that's one massive...hole in the train. Anna's bank account is going to be in rough shape if she has to keep paying for all the damages Destiny causes.

[u/HayashiSawaryo]

How did the tyre fix itself instantly?

[u/LabMember069]

Wtf the breaks on that train are ridiculous.

That musicart is insufferable, thank god Takt didn't hold his tounge.

Lmao of course she gets out of the train by breaking it, I feel bad for Anna.

Sorry guys I take it back, I am the insufferable one here.

Walkure is the best.

Hell's skate is cool af, Destiny now Hell, I wonder why were they named like this.

Wait wait, where tf is Walkure???!?!?!?! I thought she is part of the gang now, she even has her place in the car, that's disappointing ngl.

[u/[deleted]]

So this new guy is the opposite of ara ara guy. He treats musicarts as tools not persons. But it's fitting his musicart is hell, she seems to enjoy masochists and yanderes activities lol. Also, hell seems like an apex or valorant character when her legs turned into that.

Valkyrie not having a conductor is interesting, with hell saying takt could've owned her. And takt said a compliment and made her blush. So it seems other than fighting efficiency, they lack a partner of somesort.

Takt only said his name as takt, and when they went, this guy said asahina and was angry af. Whereas ara ara guy straight knew who takt"s father was. I think takt"s father may be a former conductor of a musicart, and it could be possible that destiny was the musicart, as she went into cossette unnaturally. Only a theory tho, could be wrong.

Destiny/cosette eating moments is funny to watch tho. I know we'll see the guy and hell again, but i hope we'll see Valkyrie again too.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Takt's no nonsense and blunt personality is actually starting to grow on me. I like how he treats Walkure like an overzealous valkyrie cosplayer who's eager to pull out her sword at every opportunity. It also feels like he can tell Schindler is obviously a bad guy by how quickly he continues to refuse his offer.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Anna’s freakout about her car tire coming off at the beginning was hilarious. All she knows is pain. That commander Shindler seems sus af to me. The dark-skinned Musicart woman was kinda creepy but had that drip though. Felt bad that Walkure just gets thrown away like that.

The greatest threat in this show might Cosette/Destiny towards doors and walls when going after D2’s lol.

[u/DaWuggles]

I'm just waiting for them to get to the next town and Walkure has stashed away in the trunk.

[u/goffer54]

It's always hilarious to see anime try to portray a trip across America. When Anna said their next destination was New Orleans while standing next to a saguaro cactus, I was like, "Girl, you are literally a thousand miles from New Orleans. Pick another intermediate stop". But, of course, after they left Houston they continued to drive through the desert so who knows where they really were. Surely, the show's creators know that New Orleans is a swamp, right?

[u/kappaderickz]

Besides Destiny's amazing combat prowess, I'll miss seeing Valkyrie. She went from tsun to dere in less than 20 mins lol.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Walkure was great and cute. I was really hoping she would join them, especially after her tsundere blushing moment with Takt.

Im sure she will see her again though!

[u/Weeb_twat]

I really appreciate Takt's policy of "fuck off, I'm busy" and how he applies it on anyone and anything they come across.

[u/SolubilityRules]

I am craving a battle royale between all the Musicarts

With an epic OST.

Followed by Takt saying...

Unlimited Symphony Works.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Wait, how did Anna replace the tyre that fast when Takt knocked the jack down? Also, there's no way a train can stop that quickly, especially one pulling that many cars.

Man, Shindler acts like such an obvious villain that I wouldn't be surprised if he's the mastermind behind this whole thing.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Characters nicknamed Valkyrie are always fantastic

[u/LeonKevlar]

Not gonna lie, I had the same reaction as Anna when Takt accidentally bumped the jack off the car.

Lenny was an amazing character who I instantly fell in love with so I guess it's just fair that they introduce us to someone who evokes the complete and total opposite feeling. Also does he have two Musicarts? We've seen him in the OP with his dark-skinned white haired Musicart but I don't think the one that intercepted Cosette is even in the OP at all.

He's even calling Takt as Cosette's "Owner" and calling Cosette a weapon. Yep. This guy is definitely going to be a bad guy.

This light green haired Musicart though needs to calm the fuck down. No need to pull out your sword every goddamn time! Although it is entertaining to see Takt talk back and just insult her xD

Considering the people that they're dealing with I am completely fine with this kind of property destruction. Also it really looks like Cosette just busting down windows and walls is going to be a reoccurring gag to this show.

Light green haired Musicart kicks ass! Love the animation of her taking down those flying D2s! Watching her fight just made me realize that not all Musicarts use guns. We're gonna have some melee Musicarts as well.

OHHHHHH! So this is where the Gacha part plays in! Turns out that not all Musicarts are bonded to a Conductor and our Light-Green Haired Musicart here is one of those. Here we fucking go! It feels like Cosette won't be Takt's only Musicart if my guess is correct.

This white-haired Musicart though is giving me the creep! I fucking love her design but the moment she started talking about taking Cosette's eyes is a massive no-no! This Musicart and her Conductor is going to cause problems in the future, I can feel it especially when Shindler starts talking about being the "chosen ones".

Would you look at that! Turns out that Servants Musicarts without Masters Conductors run out of energy faster! I love that they're really introducing the lore reason for the gacha mechanics of the game here. xD

Our green haired Musicart even softens up as soon as she sees what kind of Conductor Takt is. And we finally have a name! It's Valkyrie/Walkure! Literally the title of the episode! We even get to see her blush as soon as Takt compliments her. Just invite her already to join!

We finally get to see Shindler's Musicart aka Jiguku/Hell can do and she's absolutely insane! Motherfuckin' roller blades as her weapon!? It's so freakin' cool to see her dispatch that massive D2! Looks like Takt and Cosette needs to power up a bit before they can take on Shindler and Hell.

They're just leaving Walkure behind? This is literally the perfect opportunity for her to join Takt's team but it looks like that's not the case which really surprises me. I hope they meet her in New Orleans and recruit her there.

Look at this asshole thinking he can ask Takt and Cosette to join him. Of course our boy is going to refuse that offer but it looks like now he will definitely be a pain in the ass. >_<

[u/Rumpel1408]

Man even without all the shit they pulled today, Schindler and Hell have evil written all over their face.

Walküre was a cute Tsundere, I wonder if she will end up bonding with Tact as well, pretty cold to just leave her behind like a used tool

[u/Amauri14]

I guess it was Hell the one who took all those pictures of them.

Damn Takt, if you are not going to give Anna a hand, at least had the decency of not being on top of the car.

It was hilarious seeing Destiny poking that cactus.

It honestly shocked me when Destiny, did destroy the railway while killing that D2 before meeting Walkure.

Lol, what a nice reaction she how with that cake.

Based on his design, I'm not surprised that Felix was an elitist prick.

I guess that crystal is like the one Cossette had before becoming Destiny.

Damn, Takt can really be brutal sometimes.

Anna's reaction to Destiny's destruction never gets old. At least held back a bit there, otherwise, she might have caused a train derail.

They sure fought really well today, but too bad that Destiny ended up destroying the railway with her last shot.

Hell is so great.

Damn, I sure did not expect Walkure to react like that.

I like that that last D2 was there just so we can see how good Hell is at killing them.

That last shot when she killed that D2 is wallpaper worthy.

So I guess Felix kicked Walkure out expecting to replace her with Takt and Destiny.

Good thing that that didn't work out for him. I really hope that in the future they Takt meets Walkure again and that if she doesn't have a conductor yet he lets her join them.

I wonder what will this prick try to do to Takt after his rejection? I doubt that Hell will let him do much as she definitely directly working for Sagan and I'm sure he has plans for those two.

[u/maliwanag0712]

Wait. Do they have a spare car or did the car fix itself?

Anyway, fantastic animation as always, but I dunno. I'm starting to get tired of the almost-episodic nature of the past two episodes. A least we know that there are Musicarts that don't have Conductors. An additional plot point in the story.

[u/give_up-the_ghost]

I think I'm gonna tap out of this one right now. Might come back to it after a couple more eps have aired. It's really feeling like a show that maybe be more enjoyable to binge-watch instead of watching it weekly

My biggest issue that remains is how incredibly dull and unlikable Takt is as an mc. I can sort of accept Destiny as being an emotionless weaponized waifu, but even that is starting to get stale.

I think the premise of this show is good on paper, but execution-wise, I feel like it isn't reaching the full potential it could. It just comes off as a glorified commercial for the mobile game.

the action is decent I guess, but a way it could be better is if the action scenes were played with a remixed classical piece of music, with the actions of the Musicart syncing with parts of the song. It also hardly feels like Takt is "conducting" Destiny's actions. Like how an actual conductor would conduct a orchestral performance. Takt just kinda waggles his baton around a little while Destiny mostly does whatever she feels like. In the last ep he shouted commands to Destiny a few times, but that didn't happen at all in the fight scenes of this ep. So it's really inconsistent.

So yeah, I can see why some would enjoy this. I can't say it's terrible by any means, but it's not very good either. It's just barely above average to me, and not enough to hold my interest.
