Pretty bad episode don't wanna comment anything
- Stub 4y
  so just because it didnt meet your standards its bad? ofc you can have an opinion but by no means was it bad.
  Kuukoyomi 4y
  Episode 1 - one Action director
  Episode 2 - 10 Action directors
  
  Yeah it wasn't bad it was wonderful , totally 10/10 episode
  Mappa really nailed it, can't believe my eyes .
  Stub 4y
  madhouse+mappa* seems like you are just really upset at something. idk what but you need to cool down. i also never said it was 10/10. but to say its a bad ep because theres more action directors but no action? lmao.
  Kuukoyomi 4y
  Seems like u didn't get it , anyways goodluck
  IGOR 4y
  Episode 1 was made by Madhouse this episode was made by Mappa.
  Stub 4y

  i really need to know what your standards are lol
  Kuukoyomi 4y
  Very low in negative numbers >.<
Stub 4y
personally really enjoyed this even though there was no fights. but we dont need fights 24/7. good to have some plot/ story advancements
- Removed 4y
  IKR!!!! Really I don't get the hate
  Rushan 4y
  The 1st ep spoiled them
- Unculture 4y
  Same, I liked the duo playing that piano way more than them fighting monsters
DevilDuchess 4y
The ending like; me-crying for cosette TT~TT and Takt's eyes turn blue-OMG \=0=/
- 7sama 4y
  Cosette is cute and all but am I the only one who absolutely dislikes overcheerful girls like Cosette?
  
  Something is wrong with me or I am just sick of seeing such girls in anime.
  RutraSan 4y
  When they are there for the whole season yes. As we saw in the first episode she is emotionless now
  GoatQuote 4y
  i'm the complete opposite lmao
  xXDisappointmentXx 4y
  Nah I'm usually not a fan of them (Yotsuba from 5-toubun for example), but Cosette wasn't too over-the-top or anything so I don't mind
  7sama 4y
  Actually, I didn't have any problem with Yotsuba cause she was the only one who talked with him in the beginning and she's pretending most of the time
Rony 4y
Thought it was cute to see Takt and Cosette having fun before the ya'know KABOOM

Hope to see more bonding between the two considering in the first ep it definitely set up Takt caring for Cosette and I'm a sucker for some wholesome (ignoring the tragedy they have experienced) sibling bonding.
- TheMinester 4y
  "Sibling" :D. Well they aren't siblings in the 1st place
kenzicakes 4y
this was just set up for ep 3 and its gunna be fire, see yall next week :)
HaiRikku 4y
I was confused at first as to why Cosette was acting like a normal person, well we know why now

But did she die tho? Is the new Cosette different?
- 7sama 4y
  The new Cosette is different and I think the old one has her memories suppressed. Remember the little sister in Bunny Girl Senpai? I think something similar is going to happen in this anime.
Kyuugo 4y
Ahh this ep was nice. Nice backstory. It was heartwarming, and enjoyable to see both of them enjoying themselves.

and of course the explosion was poggers, can't wait for next ep.
and his eyes, damn great

I could use this as a pfp lol
- Ryuseishun 4y
  People whining and bitching about animation quality drop and future trouble with production cause of longer ED credits and more animation directors, like wth. This episode was alright; it was average-looking AT THE WORST. This shot there was really dope, ngl.
  Kyuugo 4y
  
  People whining and bitching about animation quality drop
  
  @Ryuseishun yup, I agree it was not that bad, I guess people just put up the bar high cuz it's MAPPA and MADHOUSE
AoTrash 4y
This ep was a snooze fest cant lie
Navlyn 4y
Its nice that we got to see what happened to Cosette and what she was like before she was uh killed? I guess. Its also nice that its explained what happened to her and why does Takt's hand disappears when Unmei transform I'm guessing its something about life force and stuff, tho it did kinda felt rushed to me. And Cosette's smile was so adorable, I mean she's already adorable normally
IGOR 4y
Cosette was like a totally different person in this episode compared to episode 1. I'm assuming her personality changed after she died and turned into destiny. We also know why/how Takt lost his arm. We also saw a little bit of Takt's background story and the death of his father which affected him in some ways.

WHY TF ARE THERE MUSIC FESTIVALS IF MUSIC ATTRACTS D2???

Throughout the episode, you can hear people talk about how music is slowly fading from the world. Literally, at the beginning of the episode, we hear a guy give a speech about how "music is poison far too potent for this world" yet here we are holding music festivals like everything is fucking fine.

Am I the only know confused by this? In episode 1 Takt plays the piano in a town filled with people and that caused D2 to attack the town. Now Takt and Cosette are playing the grand piano at a festival like wtf.

I noticed the Grand maestro sagan had a partner with him that had blonde hair, this blonde hair guy obviously knew something bad was gonna happen but let the party go on anyways. They look like important people who may be the villains in the future.

Compared to episode 1 this episode was pretty relaxing up until the very end. I liked hearing Cosette and Takt play the piano.
- TheMinester 4y
  
  WHY TF ARE THERE MUSIC FESTIVALS IF MUSIC ATTRACTS D2???
  
  Because this episode happens before the D2 arrives. It's a prequel episode to explain how they got to ep 1
  IGOR 4y
  No, they know D2 already exists, they literally said it in the episode.
  
  Cosette was talking about how she's from France and there arent many instruments left there. They started banning music because of D2.

  ramaty 4y
  I'm guessing they thought they were safe, but then the shady millitary guys betrayed them and brought the D2s or hid that they were still around. This was foreshadowed by one of the evil-looking ones saying "make sure all the citizens are safe" in a particular tone.
  IGOR 4y
  To me, your explanation makes the most sense. Thanks.
  
  I had a feeling those military guys were the bad guys.
  GoatQuote 4y
  yea they were probably trying to attract the D2's by having music played at the festival. probably (hopefully really) trying to eliminate as many as possible without having to look for them
  TheMinester 4y
  
  Cosette was talking about how she's from France and there arent many instruments left there. They started banning music because of D2.
  
  I don't think that's because of that, music was decreasing and that speech at the beginning came after this event at the end of the episode. I strongly doubt the symphonica would have let them play otherwise.
- RutraSan 4y
  As they said at the festival, the danger isn't completely defeated but they are trying to come back to regular life. It's very funny because that is the same with our world and the Corona virus, although we still are in the pandemic we returned to almost normal life with some regulations.
  IGOR 4y
  Trueeeeeeee
- brownthunder 4y
  I thought this was easily explained with the Symphonica people bringing the festival to different towns? Clearly they are the "military" in charge of dealing with D2s and were probably in charge of security.
  
  The shot of their commander dude watching Cossette and Takt play while smiling could indicate something more sinister within their organization. Maybe he was aware of what was about to happen, and having Cossette become a Musicart was part of a plan all along?
  RutraSan 4y
  Might be true, his dad was an important figure (I didn't understand what exactly) but the military was talking about him, so that's likely they knew Takt is his son and planned it. Still, Cassete having her necklace with this power is also a mystery now
  callmerin 4y
  pretty sure it was mentioned that takt’s dad is a maestro who (probably) was the first (notable or overall) victim of d2s
- callmerin 4y
  
  WHY TF ARE THERE MUSIC FESTIVALS IF MUSIC ATTRACTS D2???
  
  because the threat of d2s were decreasing. they said something along the lines of “although they aren’t completely gone, the threat of d2s attacking is pretty low”.
  and it was also mentioned that this was something like “a single day of freedom”, so it might be like one little day off from the music ban ig
- vessalius5524 4y
  Occasional Festivals...Like once in a year kind of thing and after that no music
theonerdola 4y
What did you think of the episode?
best episode of the season

Favorite scene/moment?
When Unmei and Takt play together at the festival

Enjoying the series so far?
YES

What do you expect or want to happen next?
idk

Nero + Saber + ZeroTwo = Unmei
I hate Zero Two but I have to agree
- YourWaifuGotNoJam 4y
  
  I hate Zero Two
  
  I knew someone gonna say that ( ╹▽╹ )
- Removed 4y
  I knew I couldn't be the only one who enjoyed this even more than the previous episode.
- izaak02 4y
  I would only assume you might be referring to this scene?
  
  Probably my favourite moment at least
  theonerdola 4y
  yes, I love this scene
Kingucurimuson 4y
The animations are phenomenal, still the story isn't so entertaining imo
melinara 4y
decent episode with unfortunate pacing ):
the cg parts were kinda jarring but i can get used to it i suppose
i really liked the animation towards the end though!
mondiengo 4y
pretty good episode, loved the ending and the op was pretty nice, song was fire
Arridian 4y
I'm lost, episode 2 is a flashback ? I'm really lost..
- RutraSan 4y
  Yes that's the prologue, answering almost all the questions from ep one like "how did they get there, why he losing his arm, why she turns into a fighter, what is going on in the world" and more. Basically that is the beggining of their story, and first episode should be not to much afterwards.
  Arridian 4y
  Okay, well, let's see what come next !
PipoHippo 4y
cool episode, I really liked the scene where they were playing music together. Glad we got some Cosette backstory and how she was before she turned into a musicart.
AstralTrinity7 4y
I just don't like anime which can't move on a chronological order. It's a pretty good episode but I hope it just doesn't go on like a random order like a certain other anime I know (peachboy riverside)
Mitikus 4y
The first episode of the series felt so out of place, for me at least. It wasn't a bad episode but didn't really fit the role to be the first one to start it all. So needless to say I was spectical and negative about how they will continue. However this second one was a blessing for both the eyes and ears. This should've been the first episode of the series in my opinion. The visuals are outstanding, the music is on point and beautiful, the characters were lovely and it did great as a starting point which the first episode failed at. Keep in mind these are only my standpoints and you are free to disagree with what I said.
sweeve 4y
final 10 minutes were fucking amazing
Rukthor 4y
What a big downgrade from the first episode, it was a bait I guess ? I think that the flashback itself was okay, but way too long. I would have shortened the beggining and prolonged where the action started, also I find weird how Takt seems to be prepared once he grabs the wand/whatever is that, I guess once Cossete changed he got the information in his head and just did it automatically?

The piano part was nice but they were just doing short jumps lmao it was hilarious, and I didn't saw the hair of Cosette moving in the whole episode 0.0 I hope the next one is better.
PhosPhossu 4y
Good Script, not as good as ep 1 but god, of course the fucking MAPPA episode has to be filled with shitty CG and stillshots and pans
TERR0R 4y
the part where they cut away from the applause to the sound of rain outside was cool
discocrimson 4y
more like musicfart
Nipaaaa1 4y
It's not a bad episode but it's definetly not as good as the first one.
Whiskeyy 4y
Was good, I mean the fact that some bad shit was gonna happen at the end of the piano play was obvious but there is some good character growth from Takts part.
R2R 4y
I like this episode, more than the previous one.

That Piano performance by Takt & Cosette, was amazing. Hope to see more of those.
- elletedbirbie 4y
  I'm more in for the characters than big explosive fight scenes so I also enjoyed this one a lot more than the prior. Not every episode needs to have balls-to-the-wall action and it will be a lot more satisfying when you do proper setup of tone and characters.
  R2R 4y
  Episode 1 didn't really felt like an episode, because, they pretty much used every moment from the trailer(which I've already seen many times). It felt like a trailer and streched it over an episode.
  
  Since I don't know nothing from this episode, it felt a little entertaining.
Insurance 4y
Damn. Not as rough as some origin stories are but still... Takt has my sympathy. Interesting rose and vines motif, I wonder which anime it's referring to...
AnimeBestie 4y
Absolutely loving this anime so far! It catches me off guard and I like that!
mrxx 4y
slow episode but i loved the concert

too precious
