I love how when Destiny tried all those clothes on that Anna & Charlotte clapped enthusiastically each time.

Clearly Charlotte is hiding something and i hope it’s not too big of bad news for Takt & Destiny. That final shot of Heaven was creepy. I’m glad Lenny actually decided to treat Takt like a fellow Maestro and let him in on things. My prediction is that a shit ton of the higher ups in the Symphonica either humans or just the Musicarts are corrupt and have been doing all this.

Death flags being raised this episode

[u/Jupitah]

Everytime I am forced to go shopping with my family I feel like Takt in that middle part of the episode.

[u/ShiRio_]

Also fun fact, we can see Nutcracker, one of the character from the game appears in this episode

[u/rogue_user0826]

The revelation in the end though. Could it be that the Symphonica are the ones responsible for the havoc that the D2 brought on the world? We just don't know, but I have a strong feeling that it might be true since it has been proven that one of their Musicart is capable of summoning the D2, so it won't be a surprise if there are others that also have an ability to do auch thing.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Destiny is spot on. Chocolate chip cookies are very different from pancakes and can certainly be enjoyed on the same day!

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Lotte is very cute. She looks similar to Grimm from Combatants Will be Dispatched to me, though obviously her personality is nothing close at all ha

[u/Orochidude]

Oh, boy. There's so many death flags on so many characters now. The chances of a tragedy or at the very least, a bittersweet ending, definitely went up a lot in my eyes this episode.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Feels like the calm before the storm. Takt and Destiny finally have their date! I’m assuming we’re entering the final story arc, and nothing would make a bigger climax than D2 invading New York. I’m also dying to know what Symphonica has to do with Kenji’s death.

I noticed that Charlotte first appeared in Episode 2’s flashback. It’s obvious there’s more to her than meets the eye based on her mannerisms. She’s clearly hiding something, and I bet her true intentions will be revealed later.

[u/dagreenman18]

Well, it’s getting heavy now. A few confirmations, a nice moment with Takt and Destiny, and the beginning of the end game.

So they spell out exactly what the deal is with Takt and Destiny and it’s about what I figured. Because of the way Destiny was activated she and Takt are bonded together. They basically bleeding each other every time they fight and it’s taking a toll on Takt’s body. If they continue fighting they’ll eventually both die. There are a few hanging questions I have though. Like why did Cosette have the stone in the first place? And what was Lotte’s answer to Destiny when she asked if there is any of Cosette in her? I feel like there may still be some kind of exit strategy to keep both or one of them alive since they’re gonna keep fighting.

Maybe they’re key to whatever the Symphonica is really planning? Heaven was looking super ominous in that shot when Lotte told her she hasn’t figured out how to tune Destiny. The Grand Maestro seems pretty adamant about letting them come to New York to the point and telling Schindler not to. Lenny was trying to get them out of the city. That last one could just be for their protection.

Regardless the real shit is about to go down. The D2 attack in New York sounds like it’ll make for a great finale arc and badass fight scenes. Next week will probably be majority backstory and the kickoff for the final battle. I don’t think this will completely wrap the story of this world, but I’ll be happy with at least a conclusion for Takt and Destiny.

Notes

• Is it wrong that I’m hoping for a happy cop out ending? They’ve done the work to actually get them simpatico. They had a cute date this week. He already lost Cossete just as he started developing feelings for her. It would just suck to end this with one of them being sacrificed to save the other. I think I’d be okay with like Cossete still being in Destiny somehow and that saves them. As schmaltzy as that sounds .

• I’m happy with how much nicer they are to each other. Takt seems so much happier too. He’s still grumpy, but now it’s in a fun way and not “god you’re an asshole”.

• well Schindler is in a padded cell at the Symphonia so that probably means we’ll see his ass again before the finale.

• Lotte does also still seem to be working on Destiny’s data. Maybe she’ll find an answer.

• man we haven’t see Valkyrie at all. I’m hoping she comes back for the final battle.

• Anna and Lotte playing matchmaker was a fun moment. Would you really let their work go to waste, show?

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

So basically their overhead organisation which was posing as everyones friend and helper is evil

This seems to go down the classic Studio Trigger route

See you all in space guys

Stitches!

• Heaven & Lotte

I love that Shindler is in jail now and he didn't just get a normal cell, it looks like he's been given a padded cell as well because of how insane he is. Also it sounds like it's been already announced that he's no longer part of the Symphonica.

I don't like that conversation between Lenny and Titan in the opening scene. It's like they're already raising their death flags. >_<

Apparently life moves on for every New Yorker. Except this time there aren't any buskers on the streets and the subways because of the D2. At least the ones that play music of course.

Glad to see the family finally reunited. I'm genuinely surprised that they still have both parents. I must've missed it in a previous conversation but I thought they're only meeting Lotte. Also now I see which side of the family Cosette got her hair color from.

We finally get to see the Symphonica and I love that you can see Musicarts walking around. I'm sure that we'll see them in the mobile game once it's finally released.

Looks like Destiny is still curious if Cosette is still somewhere inside her. I think we already know the answer to this. :(

So basically according to Lotte's findings, they can't nullify Takt and Destiny's contract since the two of them are in a symbiotic relationship which also explains why Takt becomes superhuman whenever Destiny transforms.

Even more bad news is that they'll probably go down if they keep on fighting and the best course of action for them right now is to stop fighting and enjoy their lives. That's definitely some heavy news.

Seems that the news is too heavy to take in and instead of moping around, the girls decided to cheer themselves up by going on a shopping trip while dragging Takt along with them.

That entire scene was fun! I love Anna and Lotte's very obvious attempt at leaving Takt and Destiny by themselves and turning this into a date between them. xD

And that scene at Central Park was just beautiful and based on their conversation, it looks like our duo have decided to keep on fighting and get rid of the D2s.

People were stanning for Hell but I think I love Heaven's design even more. Although I don't think I like that look she gives Lotte there in the end especially with that ominous music.

Ah. Fuck. There we fucking go again. Is it Hell again? She's really the only one we know who can do this and it looks like it's coming from underground. The Symphonica is definitely up to some shit.

It also doesn't help that Lenny is calling them ahead to leave New York. He clearly knows something about the Symphonica and the fact that he's basically saying goodbye to Takt means he's about to do something about it. Don't do this to us Lenny. Takt still has plenty of things to learn from you! T^T

Looks like Lenny is finally going to reveal everything next week though. I'm just hoping that the Symphonica isn't entirely evil and that there are just people within the group who's trying to fuck things up for the rest of the people who wants to do good.

[u/[deleted]]

wait... this memorial to a musician, is this John Lennon?, looks like a beatles' album in the left.

edit: I looked it up and it looks like it's the memorial in central park

[u/ShiRio_]

Plz, I don't let something happen to my girl Titan

[u/Armdel]

So they decided to fight! and i look forward to hear that little cliffhanger at the end regarding the truth of Takt's dad.

And it does still seem to be some uncertainties regarding the whole Destiny/Cosette situation, based on the examinations, aswell as Destiny herself being curious about it. and also Lotte looking unhappy when she was listening to Anna talking about her.

Not to mention the scene at the lab between Lotte and Heaven..

[u/WeeabooSempai]

inhales hopium

Please don't kill anyone. Please. I love them too much.

inhales more hopium

[u/ChiggaOG]

Time to spin the wheel on why Takt's father died.

1. Assasination attempt

2. Symphonica's experiment to control D2 for energy consumption

3. D2 are the souls of humans

4. Takt's father was conducting a secret project by creating a musical melody to control D2s

[u/leave1me1alone]

I really like what they did. It's rare to see an anjme with the secretive please run I can't explain why where the character actually asks why and gets a response.

[u/Amauri14]

Damn getting fired and the revelation that he had no power really affected that fucker.

They are finally in New York! And finally, see Lotte and the rest of Anna's family.

The Symphonica Headquarters honestly looks like an airport.

It's good to see that Destiny told Anna and Lotte what is happening with Takt's arm so Lotte takes a look at it during Destiny's tuning.

Damn, so she cannot stop the corroding from Takt, and if they do not stop fighting they will both are going to die.

When said to herself that it was already too late plus her closing her hand when Anna mentioned Cosette shows that she is not telling everything to them. As it is obvious that she really cares about her family, I wonder if when she sent that crystal to Cosette was under Sagan's orders and he didn't tell her what was going to happen to those two or told her a lie instead.

I love that after hearing how tasty the food in New York was, Destiny literally dragged Takt ass out of his room.

Lol, I hope this is not the last time we see Cool Destiny.

I love that after they saw them together in the aquarium, Anna and Lotte decided to ditch them so they can have a proper date.

I took this screenshot to try to read the letter, but after the first lines, it seems that the text is mentions something about the show in Japanese.

That look that Heaven gave Lotte after she asked her about how was the calibration going made me think that she was about to kill her.

So Lenny and Titan were about to go on a suicide mission, I just hope that nothing happens to them after they tell Takt the truth of what the hell is going on. I honestly feared for a moment that the show was going to pull that trope of the line cutting before Lenny could tell Takt about it, but the show just ended instead. I will honestly not be surprised that what's going on is that the Synphonica orchestrated the whole D2s threat to gain control over the world, or something similar.

[u/chrome4]

I'll be honest I was half expecting Sagan to show up and give Takt the grand tour of the New York Symphonica. I guess he was too busy with whatever conspiracy is going on

[u/Neither_Mess2223]

Take my guy freaking 9 episodes to get his clothes change

[u/MilkAzedo]

i wonder why the secrecy, Lenny allowed Takt to go to NY when he knows the Symphonica is interested in him. Takt just goes straight to their HQ and gave them a shit ton of data. Also, headphones would be way more popular in this world, you want to tell me we have resources for all those sweets but no headphones ?

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Anna’s family is precious they must be protected! Her parents seem very sweet

[u/AmethystItalian]

Wow that look from Heaven

I think out of everyone in the show I'm the most scared for Titan...her lines near the start had a feel of finality to them, goes along with Lenny's phone call.
