"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, known as Conductors.

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 Unmei. Takt yearns for music to be returned to the world, and Unmei wishes to destroy the D2. Their aim is to travel to New York.

______________________

It was more interesting knowing nothing going in, as the slow exposition of what was actually going on (think "A Quiet Place", but only sweet music) kept things more seeming interesting than they truly were. I have an affinity for midwestern American landscapes, so that got an extra enjoyment boost for me. The action scenes were animated as well as I could hope a wasteful first episode to be, but if the standard keeps up this could be a visual treat, indeed. The music motif was something different, and being on a road trip is refreshing, for anime. An original work, this will likely be a train wreck, but I'll gladly see how it explodes.
