Schindler and Hell are so dripping with cliche it's hard to keep going. If next episode also focuses on them I think I'm done.

Also "pawns on a board do not move on their own." Yeah, neither do queens or kings. You reeeally showed me how intelligent and Machiavellian you are with the chess metaphor there.

Wasn't as big a fan of this one for whatever reason. Probably because I feel the stern military style rival is a bit overplayed.

Oh well, some nice action pieces this episode.

I think this episode is better than before. Wonder what will happen next... Guess every episode they will encounter D2...

Liked Valkyrie, her design and personality is very good.
Anna’s expressions are getting better and better.
Even Hell is insane, cutting a D2 into pieces.

this show is just off. it clearly has a big budget, that is clear from the animation. but the characters are just giant walking tropes done badly and their interactions just don't make any sense. it's like i'm watching a soshage... oh wait. it all makes sense now

It certainly isn’t getting much better.

None of the characters they introduced this episode were interesting. Shady Military Guy, Crazy Girl Named ‘Hell’, and Innocent Female Knight/Valkyre. Idk why Shady Military Guy was so angry Takt didn’t agree to work under him after he treated them coldly and didn’t even attempt to persuade him with any benefits that he could gain by joining. I also thought it was funny how Innocent Female Knight/Valkyre talked about how none of the D2s will touch the train on her watch after she was late to help and they already touched the train. That’s the level of writing we’re working with here.

We got a good amount of action, but I wouldn’t call the action good. It’s clear that a lot of time and effort is being put in, but it feels so messy due to the poor direction. Ends up with very little impact.


Exactly this, and I don't think it'll get any better.

I'm officially dropping this series. It's an already packed season and this doesn't cut it.

i can't be the only one super bothered by how quickly the car got fixed right after unless a crazy amount of time passed when Destiny took out the D2 which she did instantly


Woah, so finally someone else noticed this, i thought i had missed something and thats why it bugged me so much xD

- Struggles to fix car and takt messes it way further

- D2 appears and destiny goes on chase

- They caught her on a car already fixed

I liked this episode best so far, the new characters were pretty fun.

Really thought Walkure would join them though... guess there's still time for that later ~

Considering this is the 5th episode, the story is barely progressing. Like sure, we like the good action and the small quarrels, but it's not enough. We still don't know what Lenny is doubting or who's behind the Symphonica, and I'm honestly getting a bit impatient.

We're almost halfway through the show and the story has barely progressed. The writing is lackluster but it's still an enjoyable watch if just for the animation and character designs. It is just a tie in anime to promote a mobile gacha game so I probably shouldn't have expected much in the story department anyways lol. The action and visuals are fun to watch so it's still a decent popcorn show. Plus the musicarts are good cosplay material.

I guess the head commander does not accept that kind of refusal.

Not much to say about this episode though. Still expecting to be interesting.

This concept is still new to me.

Amazing animation. Valkyrie is pretty. I don't like the chief commander. His musicart is full of pride but a great fighter.

Cookie cutter characters. Fitting for the show I guess.

So we have Camille and Leona for our new fighters.

Angles and designs still great but the art itself was shaky at points.

Gosh! I love Takt's half-smile while he's playing the piano! He looks so content with himself, and that wry smile breaks through his cold acting persona. That smile does genuinely tell how much Takt loves playing the piano!
Great for a series to realise that something successful does not need to be action-packed to the brim, that slower episodes with some sprinkled hints are also great!

Quite interesting at the end too. What was it that chief Schneider said? Will be intriguing to see how Anna and the rest respond to this later on.

I get that they want things to flow, but either i missed something or 1. The car was quickly fixed when they met the train, and 2. Takt had no problem quickly making his way to the top of the train all be himself with one arm. Still cool sakuga

Can someone tell me why takt his arm disappears when destiny uses her power? I think i missed that part.


SFHYDROGEN said:

And I still don't get it- why does Takt loses his hand every time when Cosette (Destiny) gets prepared for a battle against the D2's?


i haven't read or thought about it before, but
he lost his arm when Cosette died/revived, so his arm probably is only usable when her power is down, and so as soon as she transforms, she needs her power back... or she just used that arm to revive herself, so it's the trigger to activate her power, can always check that scene again

Valkyrie's amusing and adorable, I hoped that she would Join Takt and co but oh well. Hell is pretty hot but she's kinda creepy and her conductor is your usual villain.

Honestly, I don't know what to think about this show. The theme of the show is music but there is barely any music in this. Initially I thought that a fight with the monster would take place in a way in which the dude would be playing/conducting some music piece and then the girl would fight. Seems like he's just pointing or giving orders by waving his stick. Even the background music during the fight is bland. This is disappointing for a show whose theme is music.

Not bad for a fairly new duo of our music fencers to meet the one and only
Commander-in-chief Schindler. The meeting wasn't planned and now all the heroes share the same train by chance. Schindler is on a mission of black meteorite pieces transportation but God knows what's on his mind. I really liked how Takt burnt all the bridges with Symphonica's burocracy to stay independent, although for every rebel without a cause there's often a noname bullet and an unknown grave.

Hell is a hella twisted Musicart, strongly reminded me of Five, maybe she is as elite fighter as it could be to protect such an important person of this world. Valkyrie's appearance is kinda blank, she fights her own fights without a Conductor and the more striking is the change of emotions on her face during and after the battle in the canyon. The fights itself are still good, personally I can feel the battle landscape scale and debris flying in all directions. On to Ep. 6!

the animation dropped quite hard..
and the plot is still kinda generic.. i do get the plot would be good enough for a game but its comes out as cringey and edgy for the Anime
especially Hell's lines..

Walkurie best girl tho.. hope she joins the main cast.. or maybe in the game she will now be available to roll or given out as free to add in yer roaster for battle? idk..

The anime really hasn't been anything superb or extraordinary not gonna lie..


Just watching this episode and I found the animation super weird, it was one of its main points, but if they kept doing something similar to this episode or lower, I'll definitely decrease my score.

Damn, Hell is enough reason to make this anime worth it. A couple of wide angle shots at the end of the fight scene. So hilarious to see clowns here on MAL has no idea what "animation" actually means. More characters are introduced and still not much progression into the actual story even though we are nearly half into the total runtime of this. A lot of inconsistency with this episode as well. Except Hell, the characters are are absolute dogshit. But who cares about that when you have this.

New York Symphonic although the supposed leading defence group currently in the U.S, sure are one shady lot. Of course they have to get the dodgiest people as their Head Commander who seems to have a power complex, i kinda predicted Takt to reject his offer but this man actually held a grudge against it. Even though this is the first person from the New York Symphonic to meet the crew, i really hope the rest of the organization aren't all inhuman, as him.

Good to see more Musicarts shown. More information about them as well this ep, like how a Musicart can have no Conductor, but also how the New York Symphonic, unsurprisingly, simply treats them as weapons of war and not as actual individuals. Walkure's gap moe was so much larger then i thought and caught me so off guard. Hell's unusual and neglect of personal space personality equals that of her fire power, two hits and the Kiju size D2 and it was gone.

Nice action this ep, mass amounts of D2 seem to be popping up wherever Takt and Destiny go, seeing other Musicart's in action was enticing with Walkure's sword and shield, and Hell's unusually powerful bladed heels. Hope Walkure finds a Conductor in the future, maybe someone not in the New York Symphonic, or better fly solo and just chill.

Walkure needs to form a pact with Anna instead of Takt. If Destiny is already taking a huge chunk of life-force from Takt then Walkure bonding with Takt won't make sense since it goes against the high stakes put forth by the writing. If the anime goes with Walkure bonding with Takt then is an obvious attempt to forcibly form a harem in favor of plot consistency.
