The official website for MAPPA and Madhouse‘s takt op. Destiny anime in Bandai Namco Arts and DeNA‘s takt op. (pronounced “takt opus”) project unveiled the anime’s main visual, additional cast and staff members, and theme song information on Sunday.
The newly announced cast members are:
In addition to being the character designer, Reiko Nagasawa is serving as one of the chief animation directors with Toshiyuki Kanno. Toru Iwasawa is directing the action.

In the story of the anime, one day a black meteorite fell on the world, and the world completely changed. The meteorite produced grotesque monsters called D2, which started running rampant. D2 very quickly banned all music, which was the one thing able to overcome them. But there were some people who resisted the D2. They are young women who hold the power of music, the “Musicart.” These young women hold “scores” that are able to defeat the monsters. And there are also people who lead these women, the Conductor.
The anime takes place in America in the year 2047, which has fallen to ruin thanks to the D2. Takt, a Conductor, is partnered with a Musicart named Destiny. Takt yeans for music to be returned to the world, and Destiny wishes to destroy the D2. Their aim is to travel to New York.
