Recap

Not A Mentor, But Will Provide Basics – Leonard, Titan, Takt, Anna, Destiny

After Destiny, formerly known as Cosette, defeats the D2s, Takt passes out and doesn’t awaken until the next day. It is then when he learns Cosette is no more and now a musicart, named Destiny, has taken over her body, and he is connected to her in more ways than one. This is worrisome to a conductor named Leonard for with him having knowledge of how musicarts are raised and trained, Destiny is an anomaly.

Granted, in some good ways, since her senses surpass Leonard’s musicart Titan. However, with Destiny feeding off Takt’s lifeforce, it is recommended that he take her to the Symphonic in hopes they might be able to do something. Otherwise, Takt and Destiny may not last long.

However, considering most of the country is still recovering from the attacks, and the infrastructure isn’t back to take a plane or train, it means driving across the country. This task is dangerous because the Midwest, mainly in the Great Lakes area, is still a hot zone for D2s. But, with Anna’s family in New York, Takt allowing his home to be destroyed when D2s attack and Destiny having nothing to hold her back, it is decided that Takt, Anna, and Destiny will head to New York.

A Few More Details

While we got stylized action, as we did before, not much happened or was revealed in this episode. We learned Destiny is slowly killing Takt, which is useful information. Also, a bit of the origin of Musicarts. However, could more have been done or some things cut to help push the story along further? Yes. Pacing right now is a bit of an issue since we jumped to the past for two episodes and now may launch forward. But, to be honest, there isn’t a notable amount of things thus far to make that ride seem worth it. At least on a consistent basis.
