Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song (2021) 

English Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song had a hard time from the start, as a lot of anime fans, from what I have heard, were put off right at the very beginning of the season by the poster and the "music" genre. I was a little smarter than that, because I noticed that Vivy: Fluorite eye's song was a production by the WIT animation studio. "Well, it is probably going to be about singing and idols, but at least it might look really good, I am going to try and watch one episode!" However, I did not see the trailer though, so those of you who have already seen Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song will have a pretty good idea of how surprised I was within seconds. Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song has an epic introduction, a slightly worn-out but still intriguing subject and the storyline that quickly draws you in. Add to that the high production values and likable main couple and you can get really caught up within a short time, and after a few episodes you are totally hooked. You have probably already worked out that Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song is not really about idols and although the singing plays an important part, it is not distracting, on the contrary, it sometimes it fits into the whole scheme of things really well (especially when it accompanies on-screen events, or functions as a live opening, i.e. as a part of the story). Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song is divided into several sections, mostly with similar content (heading towards achieving the main objective), but with a slightly different execution. Some parts have a weaker introduction to the plot and sometimes it takes a while to figure out what has actually changed since the last time, but then they reach an ingenious point, or maybe there is a great final battle that gets you up out of your chair, or sometimes a really unexpected twist (It's me DIO!). In other words, each part has something going for it in my opinion, something I found above- average and memorable. It is quite emotional and there are different issues to think about. For example, one of the issues it deals with was criticized and that was that the movie shows robots in a better light than humans, which I think is sometimes true. It also deals with internal crises, different world views, and much more, and it is all quite intriguing, and at times very well or at least quite decently produced. Many of the supporting characters are great, and I fell in love with the main protagonists Vivy and Matsumoto. I sometimes had to get up and replay Matsumoto’s monologues several times, because of his unbelievably rapid jabbering. I can sum up the animation in just three words: "beauty alternating with magnificence". There are also a lot of good action scenes. The ending itself is passable in my opinion, although it failed to surprise me much, and truth be told, I found it only slightly moving, which is rather disappointing considering how hard the screenwriters tried. However, although I did find it satisfying in general, my opinion of it went from good to praiseworthy to excellent and then back again, so the only thing I was wondering was whether I should be awarding it a strong four stars or a weak five stars, but the ending, while decent in my opinion, was the deciding factor. I am awarding 8.3/10 and if you missed "Vivy: Terminator: Become Human" by mistake, then fix that immediately! () (less) (more)
