Vivy: Fluorite Eye's song is an anime released in the spring of 2020. Released by Wit Studio and produced by Aniplex and Aniplex of America. Those names may be enough for some enthusiasts to be excited about this anime. Aniplex is the producer of great anime such as Demon Slayer, Bakemonogatari series, Fate series and much more. Heck, its producer is Yuuma Takahashi himself and what's more, the original plan was done by Tappei Nagatsuki, who was also the person who created the original story of Re: Zero.
The genre of Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s song are Action, Drama, Music, sci-fi and Thriller and every single genre fits perfectly with this anime.
[ Story ]
The story goes something like this.
Throughout the history of making AI, an autonomous humanoid was created. The only one of its kind at the time. The mission of this AI is to make everyone happy with her songs and to achieve that the creator has given her a task that is to sing with all her heart. This AI was named Diva. She started to sing and began her career at a small stage in NiaLand. That’s where Diva met a little girl called Momoka Kirishima who Diva helped when she got lost in NiaLand and later she got attached to Diva and thus gave Diva the name Vivy. So I hope you understand that Diva is Vivy. Then later When Diva was in the archive where all the AI’s are connected, A suspicious-looking cube infiltrated Vivys archive. At first, she thought he was a virus, so she went for a check-up, scanned her system and did every single thing to get rid of it but the results conclude there is no virus found and Diva kindly asks it to get rid of himself from her and it decides to do so but it transfers himself to a bear Momoka Kirishima has gifted Diva. He then Tells his name which is Matsumoto and his purpose being there is to prevent a war from outbreaking in the future 100 years from now and he needs Diva’s help.
Of course, Diva turns down his offer because the only reason she exists is to make people happy through her singing. Anyhow, Matsumoto succeeded in Making Diva work together later on and started to carry out the Singularity Project and she used Vivy as her name while working the Singularity Project, it’s like they are both different people or “AI” while using one of the names.
One big point to remember is Vivy time travelled back twice. I think Nagatsuki-san got a bit fixated on the topic of time travel after Re: Zero but it fits the story very well.

Basically, He is a technological cube.

[ Visuals ]
The visuals in this anime are great in my opinion. The sight of a beautiful Cyberpunk themed city which is NiaLand different and unique to eyes who watch a lot of futuristic movies and mecha anime. The slowing down of scenes are quite extraordinary, these effects amplify the intensity of fight scenes and the enjoyment. To be honest Vivys hair looks a bit messy except when she was in space. No spoilers there XD.
To be honest the places Vivy visits greatly achieves to show the difference between modern and old untouched places. They are beautiful to look at.
[ Audio ]
Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song is also a musical. Including the fact that Diva herself is a singer, The songs in the anime are nice. There are four openings in this anime.
“Happy Together” by General purpose Diva AI ( Miya Kotsuki) ( ep 1)
“A Tender Moon Tempo” by Vivy ( Kairi Yagi ) ( ep 3 )
“Sing My Pleasure” by Vivy ( Kairi Yagi ) ( ep 4-6, 8-12 )
“Galaxy Anthem” by Vivy ( Kairi Yagi ) ( ep 7 )
The one that stood out to me was “ A Tender Moon Tempo”.
[ Enjoyment ]
This anime was full of good quality fight scenes. The animators have even achieved to draw great movements in the fights. For example, I've seen a lot of anime with fight scenes that should have quick movements and hardcore fighting scenes but quite did not achieve it. The fight scenes from This anime had pretty awesome stuff but sadly the fights didn't last that long such as the villain taking a few minutes to talk in the middle of the fight didn't quite fancy me.
[ Overall ]
In conclusion, Vivy: Fluorite Eye's song was a good anime and I can recommend this anime to those who are new to anime as well as Those who like sci-fi. The anime does achieve to show possibilities of our own future but I doubt that will happen any time near our century.
