I won’t deny what other viewers have already pointed out. It’s clear that this anime lacks investment—both in its storytelling and its action sequences. The lack of character development and diversity was palpable, leaving me feeling like I was witnessing the birth of a clumsy masterpiece, a concept that initially captivated me but was sadly mishandled and wasted.
As the story slowly unfolds, it occasionally reminded me of Darling in the Franxx or the Fate series. Despite its many flaws, I can’t deny that I enjoyed the show greatly, especially due to my personal connection with music. As a musician myself, I resonated with the protagonist’s

desperate quest and the emotional turmoil the characters endured. That said, I wished I could have formed stronger connections with the characters, particularly Cosette. She plays such a crucial role in the story, yet she vanishes after only 20 minutes—a true waste of potential.
Now, let’s address the action scenes, which deeply frustrated me. Music can exist in stillness; it is the first dimension of musical expression. But dance, on the other hand, amplifies music—it embodies and magnifies its essence. This is where the harmony between characters should have shone through. Instead, Takt and the other Maestros felt like mere spectators during the battles, detached from the flow and rhythm of the combat. There was no sense of synergy, no impression that the Maestro was truly orchestrating the blade. These fights should have been duets, with the Maestro conducting the dance of the sword.
The overall impression left by the anime is one of paleness and superficiality. What could have been a vibrant, harmonious blend of music and action instead feels like an unfinished draft of something that had the potential to be remarkable but fell short of its promise.
