The interactions between him and Vivy sometimes have the energy of fighting siblings. Every character has something about them that makes them feel important to the viewer, even if they’re a main side character for only an episode or two. The AIs gain the most from this, each prominent AI character having a different personality and impact on the story.

Stunningly Beautiful Visuals

Fans of Attack on Titan or Spy x Family may recognize the animation style in Vivy: The Fluorite Eye’s Song. Wit Studio, the same studio that produced the first three seasons of Attack on Titan and Spy x Family, is behind the stunningly breathless animation in this series. It is filled with gorgeous and sometimes morbidly beautiful imagery. Vivy, in particular, gets some close-ups and imagery of what she sees through her fluorite eyes (get how it’s related to the title?) that are near high-definition art. One thing to nitpick is the speed of the animation, particularly during action scenes. Almost every episode has an action-packed fight, but sometimes the animation moves too fast to truly appreciate just how breathtaking each character’s motions are. 

The soundtrack helps make the series, turning an overused plot, unique. While the anime isn’t wholly focused on singing, a good amount of it still drives the plot forward. Meant to be an emotion-provoking anime, Vivy: The Fluorite Eye’s Song seamlessly incorporates Vivy’s and other characters’ singing into each episode. The opener is a must-watch for every episode due to how the animators incorporate the opening title to a scene in some episodes. Artist Kairi Yagi does a thrilling job of performing the opener, “Sing My Pleasure,” and every other song Vivy sings every moment as her singing voice actress. Viewers are sure to pause the first time they hear her sing and feel the raw emotion behind her voice and lyrics. 

An Overlooked Work of Animation

Anime isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song is an excellent series for anyone looking for a day-bingeable, emotionally filled journey. With an intriguing premise, well-rounded characters, and beautiful animation work, Wit Studio has outdone itself. The stunning visuals alone are enough to warrant a watch, from the nail-biting fight scenes to the sometimes uplifting, sometimes melancholic singing moments. The anime is not just about singing; it’s far from it. Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song is an anime anyone can take pleasure in viewing; parents just need to be mindful of the violence before letting young kids watch. It is truly an underrated anime of its time.

Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song is available to stream on Crunchyroll. Take the time to follow Vivy in her mission to make everyone happy with her singing. It’s more than worth the experience.
