Aniplex announced an original television anime titled Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song on Friday. The production company also opened an official website, revealing the lead staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and teaser promo. The anime series, produced by animation studio Wit Studio (Shingeki no Kyojin, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri), will air in April 2021.

Tappei Nagatsuki, the original creator of the Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-) franchise, and scriptwriter Eiji Umehara (Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, ChäoS;Child, Donten ni Warau Gaiden trilogy) are credited for the original story and script. The tagline on the teaser visual reads, "The story of I, Vivy, destroying my A.I self."

Nagatsuki recently served as a scriptwriter for the original anime Senyoku no Sigrdrifa (Warlords of Sigrdrifa), which aired in Fall 2020. Manga artist Takuya Fujima (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid, ViVid Strike!) and Takaaki Suzuki, supervisor for Girls und Panzer and military researcher for Strike Witches, also collaborated on the anime.

I quite liked Tappei's previous work on Senyoku no Sigrdrifa, so I'm wondering perhaps this new series may include more of his twists compared to last.

Also very nice that it will be animated by Wit.

Pretty vague teaser. I love Wit Studio but hated the story of Re:Zero, so I have little faith in Tappei to write anything good. I'll keep a skeptical eye open, but I'm not hopeful.

"They escaped the weight of darkness,
to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit.
They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy,
an emptiness that quells the null,
a pool for the forgotten..."

This looks much more promising than Warlords of Sigrifa, to be fair, I never really finished that one 'cause I had other things to try, but I still love re;zero and Taippei'a writing, so I'm gonna gicw this a go

Hmmm it's from established author, but it's an original anime, very interesting.
Would def look into it, I love original anime' excitements, and I love Re:Zero. And yep I'd love to see another trailers soon, that show us the animations.

maybe its lack of sleep but i had to reread the title 10x to understand who is who and whats this about LOL

not really hyped since its rezero author, I will have my doubts until the first season is done
knowing the guy he will another useless character that adds nothing to the story, and its just there to be annoying, just like rem


@RobinTheKing if its anything like rezero then it will be pretty bad, if its like aot then amazing

Looks like I am in minority here, but I really liked Senyoku no Sigrdrifa (it had its flows but overall was one of the better series last season). And I found it much better written than ReZero 2 part 1. So I'm in for more originals from Nagatsuki.

Woah okay, that's some combination right there! Should be worth checking out at least. Senyoku Sigrdrifa wasn't the most spectacular show by any means but it was fun nonetheless and here's to hoping this'll do better.

Good to see news of two Original works in a row.

Nothing much to go by still but it's original sci-fi by Wit so I will definitely watch it. Art showcased in the announcement video is really nice too.

I doubt this will have the depth that Re:Zero has considering it's not based on books which the author has had time to slowly and meticulously plan out, but I hope it's at least pretty good.

Also, not sure why people dislike Re:Zero so much. The characters and world in that show are top tier.

I wouldnt be that positive just because WIT gave us SnK and Vinland saga. Kabaneri was a dull rool of cool, and great pretender was super awful.

completly agree. they already risked SnK and now they are delaying VS chad-farm arc? this one better be good.

WIT's doing another original eh? That's pretty cool. I like Re Zero and man we could use more good sci fi anime and more originals in general. Still the announcment came out pretty suddenly if this is coming out in Spring. Not that I mind. Though like most originals will wait until other people check it out first lol.

Re:Zero + Wit Studio: Killer combi?

Warlords of Sigrdrifa was not the best of Tappei Nagatsuki BY A LONG SHOT, but this'll probably have a good momentum to remit a Re:Zero alternate of some kind.

Wit Studio now is more focus on making original anime. that is one of the reasons why they dropped AoT. They already began it with. Dont be surprised if Vinland Saga also get studio change too.
After Great Pretender which was great anime. they will make more original anime
- Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song (this one)
- Vampire in the Garden (Netflix original)

Pretty excited, it's from one of my favorite authors, although I'll keep my expectations low, Tappei is good in writing books and since this is an anime original, he may not have much time and freedom to plan out the world and plot. Like Sigururi, which I enjoyed but wasn't as well-written as Re:Zero. He's been working on many projects now, hope he's not overworking himself, he's helping out Re:Zero staff, worked on Sigururi, finished Arc 6 in both WN and LN, planning to start writing Arc 7 "soon", and now is working on a new original? Please take a break too Tappei-sensei, your health is very important.

They didn't "risk" SnK... They are making new projects, SnK publishers make an obnoxious timeline where they want the anime to end around the same time as the manga, and they find a cheaper, more flexible studio. SnK having a different studio is a fault of publishers. Same mess happened with One Punch Man S2. Don't blame the studio for wanting to make their own work...

THANK YOU! People need to realize that the studios have no control, but I guess blaming them is easy for them to do.
