A huge letdown honestly. I expected something of Vivy quality when I saw this show's trailer. Which gave me massive expectations for this show. I expected an amazing soundtrack with stunning animation followed by loveable characters and a great plot. Unfortunately, besides the animation, none of my other expectations were met.

For a show about the revival of music in modern society they have a really poor soundtrack. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely lacked. The soundtrack didn't give any emotion to the show. It was just there. I wanted Chopin or Mozart to be blasting during fight scenes, but I guess we can't always get what we want. If a show wants to be about music it has to have a fantastic soundtrack, once again I'm going to use Vivy as an example. There are still days where I feel like listening to the Vivy soundtrack, it was absolutely phenomenal. When it comes to Takt, I can't remember a single song or theme from it.

On a different note the animation was overall great. There were some scenes where it dropped in quality, but that's for every show. The fight scenes were fluid and pretty. The scenery was pretty lame though, but that's never a subtract-able quality. Ultimately I was pretty fond of the animation.

The characters were piss poor. A good show needs a great cast, and this show lacked a great cast. I understand its hard to get an audience attached to characters in 12 episodes. However, I didn't even feel a slight hint of emotion when Destiny died at the end. That's due to the lack of connection I had to the cast. I didn't really care about them, which makes them extremely forgettable. I probably won't remember any of their names in a month or two.

The plot was... strange. Originally they were trying to revive Cosette/fix Destiny. However, along the way the villain guy (who we are never really given a reason why he became a villain) took an interest in them since they were a unique Conductor/Musicart duo. Why? Couldn't tell ya because its never explained. What's also not explained is how sacrificing America and all its people would solve the D2 problem. The villain just says that it will fix the world and the main character is just like, "yeah that makes sense, don't do it though I love America." Lastly, I hate how the villain went out. Takt walks up to him and they have this super drawn out conversation. At the end of it Takt says some shit like, "Music will save the world," and the villain cums his pants. The villain then apologizes for everything he did and lets Takt kill him.

Lately I've been trying not to let trailers get me hype for releases, this show being one of the reasons why. Going into shows not knowing what to expect most of the times makes things better. Summertime Rendering, Lycoris Recoil, Idaten Deities, etc. All these shows I went into completely blind, and I got rewarded for that.

At the end of the day this show sucks. It failed to meet my expectations and can only be seen by me as a waste of time however, at the end of the day my opinion really doesn't matter, if the premise sounds good to you give the first few episodes a chance. I can see how this show may appeal to some people.
