  • 140: Dirty Conducting (takt op. Destiny)
    Aniki helps conduct magical music girls in their war against evil, music hating space rocks in takt op. Destiny. A strange amalgamation of many ideas, this show follows Takt and his musicart Destiny who has taken up residence in his childhood friend. Together they must go on a cross-country journey to New York whilst fighting horrible creatures known as D2s that despise music and those who play it. Definitely a new twist on the magical girl genre with fight some of the best fight scenes of the fall 2021 season. Also featuring: Elden Ring.
