I’ve been both Seto and Anjou in different relationships across my life. When I was younger it was so difficult to share how I felt romantically but I yearned like Seto. As I got older, I learned how freeing it was so be open with your emotions and affections like Anjou. To really show someone you care about them deeply. Saying cute shit, saying corny things. Making your partner feel wanted and overcoming any mental obstacles that hinder you from doing that.

For me, this story is about that.
It might be silly that a rom com manga helped me fully make this connection, but it’s ... been an extremely valuable experience.


I really didn’t know what I was in for when I started.
As many have shared, the beginning is a bit slow. Some lines might be recycled here and there. Seto for the first couple dozen chapters might be hard to deal with but…you will be rewarded handsomely for your patience.

The jokes hit hard. The feelings are relatable. The art and reacts are amazing. And honestly, the community of people who like this manga are hilarious. No matter what shit illegal website I use to read it everyone in the comments make my hysterical.

You may have a different experience, but the story is definitely worth a read!

Character cast? Phenomenal.
Voice acting? Extremely well-executed.
OST? One of the few things currently keeping me alive.
Plot? There are so many.
Fights? Dunk on most battle Shonen.

A breathtaking and refreshing, original work.
Vivy is the easiest 10 I've ever rated.
There were tears, smiles, and plenty of time slouched over my phone during the most intense scenes.

Winter 2021, Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 have offered an insane amount of amazing shows. It was hard to keep up, and truly was a wonderful ride. We've had one banger after the next, buy Vivy, despite all of the action-packed anime coming out, stands out as unlike much of what I've ... watched up until now. Not many writers can balance the multiple timeline framing device of a story, but the narrative of Vivy doesn't skip a beat despite having many layers in the storytelling.

Wit Studios created yet another masterpiece for us to enjoy.
There are a dozen or two frames in the show where we get these beautiful oil-painting-like stills of characters (many times it is Vivy). The first time you notice this I want you to pause and take a screenshot. By the end of the show, you will have a beautiful compendium of artwork--one that shows our protagonist going through some of the roughest scenarios that can be had in the human experience.

I see a lot of people have this on their Currently Watching or Plan To Watch.
Go ahead and put everything on hold until you've experienced these 13 episodes of excellence.

Poetry in motion, and then the motion stops, and then the character is 50 frames from where they were initially, and then the motion starts again.

Flawless integration of 2D and 3D character models. Truly beyond human comprehension.

In all seriousness, I hate to dunk on someone's hard work. I'm like 99% sure this is Visual Flight's first anime production. I think once I get through the whole story there are things that I may be able to extract and say they were at least ok. Not all of these ideas are terrible, but the bad writing, Original Matrix level of corny, and the absolute dumpster fire ... animation quality really make a bad combo.

I am glad this anime exists because this season had so many amazing shows. Sometimes it's nice to grab a snack after a long day and crawl into the dumpster with Ex Arm.
