takt op. Destiny episode 11 is out! After an intense episode, this week brings about another wild ride of mixed emotions. Chaos wreaks the New York Symphonica. Anna and Lotte find themselves stranded in the building swamped with D2. Meanwhile, Takt and Destiny, together with Titan, make their way into Symphonica to finish off Sagan’s evil schemes. Spoilers below!
Honestly, the episode is a bundle of confusing things. In the beginning, Sagan impales his hand on the ominous meteorite crystal which then transforms Symphonica into a crystal castle nightmare. All the people inside are horrified by the sudden D2 appearance, including Anna and Lotte. Meanwhile outside, Takt and Destiny decide to enter Symphonica to rescue the sisters. Titan also comes along with the goal of finishing her Maestro’s goal. Plus, Destiny just keeps being cute with all her sweets and popcorn references.
It’s quite interesting that takt op. Destiny episode 11 gives a glimpse of some of the Musicarts introduced in the mobile game. (Check the game’s website to see more of them!) Additionally, Valkyrie is back! I am so happy to see her again. The battle scene with Takt conducting three Musicarts — Destiny, Titan, and Valkyrie — was an absolute badass. This opens so many avenues for what a Conductor could possibly do.
Unfortunately, Takt has to pay the price with his declining life force and strength. This worries Anna all over again. and she scolds Takt for being a fool. (She was actually ready to consider medically induced sleep to save their lives.) Takt, however, tells Anna about how he’s willing to die if it means protecting music and everyone he loves. He also (finally) gives gratitude to Anna.
The scene that follows genuinely surprises me. At this point in takt op. Destiny episode 11 , Takt is confused and Anna is confused — I am confused! Time out! I mean, I actually liked Takt’s speech and I also felt Anna’s emotions. I was not expecting that kiss though because I really thought they had a sibling-like relationship. Now that I think more about it (and the sibling filter is off), Anna really cares a lot for Takt …and maybe she really does like him? Was she just hiding it for Cosette?
Just imagine, even though Anna is the most mature and logical one in the group, she probably feels the most hopeless. She already lost Cosette and right now, she also probably feels like she’s about to lose Destiny and Takt too. She was caught in the moment and the gesture came from a heartfelt place. Honestly, I think it was kind of sweet and cute! (Wait, what about Cosette or Destiny?) I really need this to be addressed later on or else I’m gonna be bitter about it!
The episode ends as Takt and Destiny march forward to find Hell and Heaven. The two Musicarts fuse and turn into a whole different character. And just like that, takt op. Destiny episode 11 leaves us with a cliffhanger!
To be honest, I can’t help but feel like episode 11 is all over the place. I’m a bit disappointed because it feels like it doesn’t live up to following Lenny’s act last week. It probably can’t be helped since things must be placed for the finale. In fact, the chaos and play of emotions amuse me! There are so many questions that make me excited about how things will turn out next week!
