Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song - EPISODE 1
WARNING: I decided to write this here without seeing episode 2, so as not to get confused in my head, so if something I say here is answered, I do another post in addition.

At first, the anime shows you Nierland, a park that is being attacked by an apparent AI rebellion. However, it does not take long to show a scientist, in which he regrets about and something and sends an AI straight into the past.
With that, the anime returns to 100 YEARS IN THE PAST and explains to us what is Nierland, which is a complex theme park where the main attraction is AI. In this, it shows the birth of the first autonomous humanoid AI called Diva (or Vivy, as it is later called), which exists to fulfill exactly one mission: to make everyone smile through music. Unfortunately, the park still lacks popularity, so normally its concerts within the park do not reach any audience.
Diva (or Vivy) has as its primary objective to make people happy through music, but lives in a constant sequence of failures. A little girl, however, supports her and says that it is possible to reach the "Main Stage" if she sings with all her heart.
Finally, after a while, an AI of 100 years from the future called "Matsumoto" appears, explaining to Vivy about her duty to fight prevention with a war that would unfold in 100 years, giving her the mission to correct the situation. story in a project codenamed "Singularity". Obviously she doesn't believe it, but it is after showing Vivy about a murder that would happen to a guy in the park that she passes by, she believes. A bomb would explode and end up killing a guy who is important to the change in the story, so Vivy saves him.
Matsumoto is an EXTREMELY advanced AI, capable of easily invading Vivy's systems, in addition to being able to hide its presence for virus scanners. Even though he is an AI, Matsumoto is completely full of personality, being sarcastic and hyperactive, being a great counterpart to Vivy's cold and soulless personality.
Later on, Matsumoto explains briefly about his duty and Vivy's duty. Basically, in the future, AIs have evolved in such an explosive way that it will be necessary a catalyst for that, and based on this principle, the "Nomenclature Law" was created, which, being very direct, grants human rights to AIs. Much of this would happen after the murder of Yoichi Aikawa, who was the crazy deputy that Vivy saved. The bomb in the park is a warning, the murder is going to run for real tonight.
Vivy Matsumoto's journey begins now.
- What did I think of? (Based on only 1 Episode)
Slow and semi-complex. I do not believe that the plot will extend more than what was mentioned above, but this first episode presented an attempt that gives this impression that it is complex. I believe that there was a lack of balance of information and use of the chapter, since it was barely possible to begin to have any feeling of closeness between the author and the protagonist, Vivy.
The lore is very good, and this Sci-fi footprint always fascinates me, but the point is, what does this anime want to show? Is it a normal musical? Is it a war? And the two? There is no way to know yet, but I have an idea about.
I believe that the anime will make a sentimental approach to AI x Humans, and in this one he will use the weapon that is most capable of reaching people's hearts, that is, music! Vivy will be the spokesperson for this relationship of coexistence, and of course, at the same time that it fights this terrorism embedded by another against part of the plot that would be war. The fact is that, yes, it is a different and interesting premise, but let's see if the staff will be able to maintain the consistency of two VERY important factors for this type of story, which would be plot x enjoyment. It's no use having an incredible story and being boring to watch.
The animation is IMPECCABLE, and some close-ups are just magnificent! I imagine how beautiful the animation will be when we arrive at key moments in history.
The soundtrack is incredible, combined and passing the atmosphere of the place very well.
Highlight here for the ambience, which was what most jumped my eyes. I LOVE FUTURISTIC REPRESENTATION, whether in any type of media. Show me how creative the team behind this project is.
Anyway, I really liked it. I'm just afraid this anime will become tedious in the long run, but I don't think so. |
