Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song

This studio keeps delivering classics after classics.. this new one is laced with the purest 98% Heisenberg crack.

What does "putting your heart into something" mean to you?

After giving up on Attack on Titan, WIT Studio returns with another anime. In a world where human coexist with AIs, an AI singer, Diva, had to save the world from the apocalyptic future where AI took over.

In typical WIT studio fashion, the animation was absolutely gorgeous and stunning. The 'Fluorite' in 'Fluorite Eye' refers to the type of lens that made up Diva's eyes, and many times there were closed-up shots of her eyes. With the superb animation, those lens became breathtaking and just made me awe a little. Also, the actions were amazing, although some scenes were a little too fast to see the movement completely. Easily the most beautiful animation this Spring season.

So there's 'Song' in the title, and initially I thought this was just a singing anime, but the first scene of the first episode straightened me out. It ain't no beautiful innocent anime, but actually a good amount of violence and deaths that elevated the stake of the plot.

Each arch, Vivy had to change certain part of history while not making a significant change in result. This part reminded me of Violet Evergarden, where she met different people, got to know them, and made memories. I cried so damn hard. Although Vivy did deliver the emotions like Evergarden, it wasn't as impactful that would steal tears from me.

Of course, the music, because it's in the title. The Opening of this song was fresh and beautiful. It's one of those few anime where I didn't skip the Opening (no shame). It's a blessing to my ears. Other singing scenes in this anime were also as beautiful.

This led to the final song in the last episode. It's a strong and powerful end note that conveyed the main theme of the show. It's about passion, purpose, and free will, and ironically told from the perspective of an AI that had a designated purpose, which was to sing to make everyone happy.

Another bit of awesomeness was the symbol. Like the two pills in The Matrix, the human's and AI's blood were red and blue, respectively. There was a scene in episode 6, where this symbol was clear and made a powerful impact on our main character.

Overall, an excellent and beautiful anime that delivered powerful theme and story. I just wanted the emotion to hit me more. 8.5/10.

The anime was really good the story is new and animation was real good the main character was cool.

Seeing the first part until the middle minutes of this anime, I said to myself that it is not worse than this anime, but suddenly everything changed. Everything went perfectly and made me watch the continuation of this anime.

First episode is not terrible, introduces the premise and it's a key to setup the rest of the season. Second episode is the payoff. This is where the humanistic relationships that the protagonist starts shaping the story and character layers, and where the sidekick quirky comedy starts to shine. The premise of the dangers and benefits of AI haven't been fully explored at this point yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the writers handle this topic and how it relates to our current world. Finally, the action and animation are first-rate, which makes me really look forward to the upcoming immersive journey.
