I found the plot very interesting and captivating. Especially the whole "AIs and Humans" thing and how the humanoid AIs progressively started looking more and more like actual humans

to the point where they decided to become the "new humans".

What really struck me was how there were times where the AIs seemed more human than the actual humans. I think the concept of each AI having a specific mission and how dedicated they were to it or how they ended up drifting away from that really helped set up those moments. The pacing was good and easy to follow. The dialogues were pretty good as well. I like how the songs fit the story and the characters and how it blended into the whole thing.

Animation

The animation was spot on. WIT Studio did an amazing job portraying the fight scenes:

The emotions of both humans AND the AIs, in the songs for example:

And so much more. But the main thing that really got me thinking was the symbolism hidden within the story. Like when Vivy had to shut down the island. The result of that was her having the blood of Grace and Tatsuya Saeki on her hands.

I think this shows that humans and AIs "bleed" the same, strengthening the main concept of coexistence. (If that makes any sense..)

Honorable mentions, shots like this were real eye candy.

Characters

The characters were great. They were all well written and it didn't feel like they were just copied off of other characters from different shows. The voice actors did an amazing job to create a really immersive experience. Speaking of voices, one part that gave me chills was when Matsumoto put the virus in Elizabeth and her voice started glitching out. I thought that was very smart of Wit Studio.

As well as when Ophelia's voice actor switched mid-sentence during Antonio's reveal. That was simply fantastic.

Opening/Endings & OSTs

I really like the opening song "Sing My Pleasure". As soon as I heard it I immediately added it to my playlist. I found it pretty interesting how that song was played throughout the show because it was basically Vivy's song. (Not basically, it IS her song lol).

Another thing I found interesting was how the opening sequence changed to fit the story's progress.

The ending song was nice to listen to

and it was pretty cool how they turned it into a major plot point.

The OSTs fit the scenes perfectly. My personal favorite is the one they used for this fight scene:

On a side note, the synergy and dynamic between Vivy and Matsumoto was fun to watch.

Conclusion

I give this show a 9/10 (or 90/100 same thing) mainly because the ending didn't quite live up to the rest of the show. I felt like it was kinda rushed and just thrown out there. Although I do understand why it ended like that, I just wish it could've ended in a way that would've left me in speechless. But that's just me. Other than that I don't have a lot of dislikes about the show. I definitely would recommend this to people.
