__I'm really glad I gave this a chance. At first, I didn't watch it b/c I wasn't really emotionally ready or comfortable to dive into depressing topics or something that are emotional. I cried, I laughed, I had a lot to think about from the perspective of what it means to be alive and how human emotions work, as corny as it may sound. This is a lovely anime and I enjoyed my time.
What does it mean to be human?
What does it mean to have emotions?
The reality of what we find morally acceptable yet as humans our own morals seem to be subjective.
Animation - The animation is on a whole nother level for this one. It honestly caught me by surprise how action pack it was, though it isn't the main focus when the fight scenes happen they really are amazing to watch.
You have emotional moments where the art style would be even more detailed to show how powerful and important these certain scenes are. overall quality was amazing.
Story - Without spoiling anything, you have your main protagonist trying to save mankind from being destroyed by ai which you see in the trailer. You travel on a journey with Vivy and witness firsthand the struggles she faces not only physically but mentally as well. At times being conflicted within what it means to have a purpose and being born or created for such purpose, does such a thing even exist.
You see her struggle and question things that are uncommon for an ai, yet here she is trying to understand the concept and reality of what's in front of her and trying to save the very existence of the humans who created her.
Music - This is why I didn't really love all the music during certain scenes, but most of the time the music in the background did fit well with what was going on during emotional scenes or fight scenes. It wasn't bad by any means but it didn't feel really impactful or something that I would listen to over and over again, yet this is subjective. overall still enjoyable.
Overall -
This was an emotional ride from start to finish. It does give you a lot to think about and wonder if the future will ever be even close to what is shown in this series.
One is left to wonder how far humans will be able to reach once the technology is more advance and what the future holds.
With so many things being discovered the possibility is there I personally think. The question is, how will it be used?
Will it turn on us?
Will it be more advance than us?
Will it be self-aware?
I am sure none of us will be alive long enough to see that future sadly. but an interesting thing to think about and made me more wonder.
