Hey nekoama here, and this is my second anime review, please feel free to browse through my other reviews and let me know what you think. Today I'll be covering Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song.
Warning: this review may contain spoilers.

In the distant future, highly evolved AIs have set course to destroy all of mankind, proving to be the superior race. 100 years prior, AIs are already an essential part of human society, each appointed tasks they must carry out. Vivy, the first-ever autonomous AI, is stationed at NiaLand and her mission is to spread happiness with her singing. However, one day, an advanced AI from the future, Matsumoto, appears before her and explains to her the situation between humans and AIs in the future, hoping to receive her help. Will they be able to save the future?

Initially, when I heard about this anime, I wasn't at all that interested in it. I have heard from others that they were very hyped for this series to air, however, nothing about it intrigued me. In my head, I'm thinking, okay a bear doll and a blue-haired AI is going to change the future. I picked it up, because well you know, people say it was good. :) And boy, did it deliver. You could call it love at first glance. This show is amazing in all aspects and I would definitely recommend it to others.

But first, can we admire the artwork? The art and animations are amazing, as expected of Wit Studios, producers of Attack on Titan, and Vinland Saga to name a few. Sometimes the colors are vibrant and attractive and other times it can be the complete opposite. The art is very stunning and the animations are very fluid and smooth. I was actually surprised when I saw the fighting scenes, because it was unexpected from an anime such as this. The fighting sequences were very well done and entertaining to watch too.
The songs in this anime are top-tier as well. The singing is very nice and it gives a sense of connection to the show because Vivy is the one who sings these songs herself. The songs are very catchy and easy to listen to. That being said, I've already slammed all these songs into my playlist.
Since the beginning of the show, Vivy has always questioned what it means to pour your heart into something. She wondered what it meant and how she uses that to improve her singing. Ultimately, she begins to learn what it means. She learned that pouring her heart into something meant "singing along with her memories". As Vivy made new memories, her audience began to grow, and she started to be happier. Because to her, the heart for humans is what memories are for AIs, a road map of their journey to where they are now. Vivy's 100-year mission has shaped who she is now. All the people she met along the way have made a huge impact on her, and that is what allowed her to truly understand what it means to pour your heart into something and sing on the main stage once and for all.

I'm probably biased towards this anime because I just really enjoy the idea of time travel with Steins;Gate being my favorite anime after all. But I genuinely enjoyed watching this anime. It was very entertaining and kept me hooked with each episode. It can be sad, it can be funny, it can be action-packed, it has it all. If you have nothing better to do, like me, you should give it a try. You never know, this could be your favorite anime.
