Additionally, What’s on Netflix confirmed that WIT Studio’s sci-fi anime Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song will be added to the platform on April 2nd, 2026.

What Is The Plot of Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song?
This original sci-fi series is set in the span of 100 years, following the AI songstress Vivy at the amusement park NiaLand. In just 13 episodes, the series features an incredibly soul-crushing story that focuses heavily on what it means for an AI to sing from the heart. The world has highly evolved AIs set out to eradicate mankind, and is on the brink of ruin as the air is filled with the stench of blood and burning bodies. Hoping to stop mankind from further destruction, a scientist bets everything to turn the time back a hundred years.
Even during that era, AIs were everywhere and had blended into human society. Each one of them is programmed to carry out specific missions throughout the course of its operation. The story follows one such AI, Vivy, the first ever autonomous artificial intelligence and a songstress whose purpose is to spread happiness through her voice. However, she stays in a theme park where she rarely ever gets a proper audience. Despite this, Vivy does everything she can to deliver the best performance she can.
She is bound to repeat the song day after day until an advanced AI from the future seeks her out and asks for her help to stop the devastating war from happening. As Vivy learns about the future that awaits mankind, she embarks on a century-long journey to stop the tragedy from happening. Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song was originally released in April 2021 and slipped through the radar despite having stunning visuals and a captivating story. The anime is also streaming on Crunchyroll and Prime Video.
