Takt Op (Japanese: タクトオーパス, Hepburn: Takuto Ōpasu, stylized as takt op. or {tákt: op.})[lower-alpha 1] is a 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 was released in June 2023.

Plot

Takt Op is set in the year 2047, a future world where music cannot be played freely because it attracts monsters called "D2s".[lower-alpha 2] 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.
