Takt Op

Takt Op (Japanese: タクトオーパス, Hepburn: Takuto Ōpasu; stylized as takt op. or {tákt: op.}) is a Japanese mixed-media project about classical music produced by Bandai Namco Arts and DeNA. An anime television series by MAPPA and Madhouse titled Takt Op. Destiny aired from October to December 2021. A mobile game developed by Game Studio titled Takt Op. Symphony, which was originally set to release in 2021, was released in June 2023 and subsequently shut down in April 2024.

Takt Op is set in the year 2047, a future world where music cannot be played freely because it attracts monsters called "D2s". These monsters were produced by a black meteorite containing Black Night Siderites which fell from the sky years ago. They hate the music produced by humans and are drawn to the music source and attempt to destroy it, as it is the only thing that can hurt and kill them. To combat the D2s, the Symphonica International Organization and the Musicarts combine their powers to defend the cities from D2s.

On March 26, 2021, Bandai Namco Arts and DeNA announced the Takt Op. project, which consists of a mobile game and anime series. The game, titled Takt Op. Unmei wa Akaki Senritsu no Machi o (takt op. 運命は真紅き旋律の街を; "Takt Op. Destiny in the City of Crimson Melody"), is developed by Game Studio. It was initially scheduled to be released in 2021, but was delayed to 2022, and then to June 28, 2023. The game was released in English in late 2023, under the title Takt Op. Symphony, with a beta test taking place in April.

The game ended service on April 9, 2024.

An anime series was announced as part of the project. It was later revealed to be a television series produced by MAPPA and Madhouse titled Takt Op. Destiny (stylized as takt op.Destiny). The series is directed by Yūki Itō, with Kiyoko Yoshimura handling the series' scripts, and Yoshihiro Ike composing the music. LAM provided the original character designs, and Reiko Nagasawa adapted those designs for the anime series. It aired from October 6 to December 22, 2021, on TV Tokyo and its affiliates. Crunchyroll streamed the series outside of Asia. Medialink licensed the series in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Oceania minus Australia and New Zealand. The company also licensed the anime to Aniplus Asia for TV airings. The opening theme is "takt" by Ryo from Supercell featuring vocals from Mafumafu and gaku, while the ending theme is "Symphonia" by Mika Nakashima.

On April 22, 2022, Crunchyroll announced that the series will receive an English dub, which premiered the following day.
