This is pretty much the special episode omnibus recap of the entire anime in general.

Told in Matsumoto's POV of a narration, it provides all the information that is subtly given and not of the entire 100-year humans vs. A.I. journey.

Well, didn't expect a special episode to show up, but on TV it does fill up its timeslot. This and 86 are technically extra episodes counted as 13.5 and 11.5 respectively.

So, I just watched two recaps back to back. First, 86 and now Vivy. LOL

Matsumoto's perspective on the whole 13 episodes. So, technically this is episode 13.5? I guess.

Well, that was it. Nothing new. :|

Nothing new.

I wonder if they reserved an extra timeslot in case they needed a recap ep for production buffer, but nothing horrible happened so they finished on schedule

@Pre_Yum, yes, it is Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song- episode 13.5.

Recap of a great anime series, very good to see the adorable Vivy again, the production did not feel the need to add content to the already finished story.

Mission accomplished!

So, it doesn't add anything, just an overview of the plot from a different perspective ... but why?

Another recap like 86 after the anime already finished airing. But unlike 86 this doesn’t tease anything new. Ig for Vivy it really is the end, unless you're into manga or ln.
I'd say for a recap episode this was done really well. The way it played each insert songs that represented each arc really did it for me.
Loved the cheeky comments of Matsumoto near the end too. It addresses some of the common complaints I saw in Vivy episode discussions here lol.

IF its Matsumoto POV then its going to be an interesting Recap xD

If you watched the anime as it aired than this hits different, it’s by far the best recap episode I’ve seen. Definitely would recommend you watch this right now but if you don’t feel like it you could always watch it later when the story is not fresh in your mind. It does a good job pointing out the most important moments but also not lingering in them for too long and almost all the dialogue is left out and the music is fantastic.
Overall it’s an amazing recap episode and i would put it on the same tier as the other episodes of the anime even tho it recaps them.

Welp, this is fine, not much more to add tbh since it's a recap. I guess it serves as a means to boost the number of entries in one's anime list vOv

Sadly, I yawned while watchin this...



At least it didn't put me to sleep. That would've been quite an accomplishment since I was watching it at noon. And, yes, I kept my expectations low once I sussed out it was a recap episode.

Finally my pirating site already released this episode. Well, its sure a recap. But Matsumoto commentary, especially with how he commented about these recap as an arduous task, and the whole inserted song, are actually a really good additional for just a mere recapshit. So, yeah, like these one got better than any recap i see before and far before....

Even if it's well done it's still just a recap.

the past 3-4 weeks has just been a rollercoaster of emotions for me and just when it'd all started to calm down, this recap episode just triggers it all again lol
